Formula 5.000E-4*A
Notes To determine EF in lb/ton, multiply the EF by the wt. % ash content of the lignite, wet basis. A=% Ash Content. Calculated by multiplying PM-FIL emission factor by 0.0100 representing the fraction of controlled PM25-FIL in controlled PM-FIL. This fraction was derived by multiplying the fraction of uncontrolled PM25-FIL in uncontrolled PM-FIL (0.10) from AP-42, Section 1.7 and the PM Calculator by the particle-size-specific control efficiencies for high efficiency wet scrubbers found in AP-42, Appendix B.2.
