Formula 1.226(S)+1.803E0
Notes Multiply the emission factor provided by the weight percent sulfur content of the fuel to obtain emission factor in lb/activity units. where S is the wt. % of the sulfur in the oil. Derived factor: 56% of uncontrolled PM-FIL factor based on AP-42, Tables 1.3-1 and 1.3-5.
