| Abstract |
An aerosol generation system has been developed to calibrate the performance of continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) for toxic metal aerosols. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste has proposed the use of metals monitoring as an approach to better assess the risk of incinerator emissions. Prior to the development of metals CEMS regulations, it is necessary to determine a method to evlauate the expected performance of CEMS. To measure the performance of CEMS, a dynamic calibration approach which can be used to evaluate monitor performance must be developed and tested. This calibration approach requires stable aerosol concentrations of the 16 toxic metals on a system that has a flow rate of 20 liters per minute for the air stream containing the metals aerosol. The aerosol generation system that has been developed meets the above requirements, and has been tested in a laboratory environment. |
