Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina, Air Permit No. 07132T11 Facility ID 2100073, Tracking No. 2017-337ST Carbon Monoxide Emissions Testing of MACT Subpart ZZZZ Diesel-Fired Peak Shaving Generator(I.D. No. ES-14) Performed December 7, 2017 by Integrity Air Monitoring, Inc. Integrity Air Monitoring performed EPA Method 10 for carbon monoxide (CO)emissions. Generator ES-14 is a Caterpillar peak shaving generator rated at 764 horsepower(hp) maximum capacity. The electrical rated capacity of the generator is approximately 576 kW. This test was performed with the generator operating within ±10 of normal load which is approximately 167 kW as approved in the test protocol. The engine CO emissions are controlled by an oxidation catalyst. 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ !National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines(RICE)applies and limits CO to 23 ppmvd at 15% 02 or requires at least 70% reduction. In addition, permit condition (2.1.C.3.1) requires the permittee to maintain the catalyst so that the pressure drop across the catalyst does not change by more than 2 inches of water or±10% from the pressure drop across the catalyst measured during the most recent performance test. Permit condition (2.1.C.3.k) requires maintaining the temperature of the exhaust so that the catalyst inlet temperature is greater than or equal to 450 OF and less than or equal to 1350 OF [See: 40 CFR 63.6600(b), Table 2b]. The test results are tabulated below. 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ: EPA Method 10 -CO Emissions 12-7-2017 Test Results Actual Catalyst CO ppmvd at Reduction Source ID Generator Inlet AP Across 15%02 EfFcency and Serial# Power Output Temperature Catalyst Inlet Outlet Result Required Standard Compliance ES-14 166.7 kW #3PG01814 000%of max 663.2 OF 13.4 in H2O 49.5 0.813 98.4% >_70% 63 7777 Indicated Normal) Compliance was indicated for peak shaving generator ES-14 with 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ, for CO emissions.
