oil/No. 4 fuel oil/recycled separator
No. 4 fuel oil-fired
(propane-fired pilot light)
aggregate dryer(72 million
Btu per hour maximum heat
input rate)with associated
mixer
Propane is the fuel source to initially light the pilot on the burner of the rotary drum aggregate dryer.
After lighting on propane,the fuel is switched to natural gas. Natural gas is the only fuel source for
the rotary drum aggregate dryer.
The sand and aggregate are placed in five bins by a front end loader. These materials are conveyed
by five aggregate feeder belts (24 inch belts under each of the five feeders in bottom of bins)to one
collector aggregate conveyor belt(30 inch) and then to one vibrating single deck screen. After the
screening process,these materials are conveyed by one aggregate weigh bridge conveyor belt(30
inch),then through a chute to a second aggregate conveyor belt(30 inch),to one aggregate slinger
conveyor belt(24 inch)and then into the inlet of the rotary drum aggregate dryer. Only three bins
were in use at the time of the inspection. The nine belt conveyors and the vibrating screen deck
screen were in operation with no visible emissions observed by me.

A front end loader is used to place the reclaimed asphalt product(rap)into one grizzly screen and
then dropped into one feeder bin. From the feeder bin,the rap is conveyed by one feeder belt(24
inch)to one vibrating single deck screen. After the screening process,the rap is conveyed by one
weigh bridge conveyor belt(24 inch)to a chute and then into the rotary mixer drum. The two belt
conveyors and the vibrating single deck screen were in operation with no visible emissions. Mr.
Adams stated that 20%rap is mixed in the mixer drum with liquid asphalt and any particulate matter
from the inertial separator and bagfilter(ID No. CD 1) and the heated sand and aggregate materials
from the rotary drum aggregate dryer.
This company hired an outside contractor to crush rap at this asphalt plant. Mr. Adams stated that the
crushing of RAP was not being conducted at the time of the inspection. I observed no portable RAP
crushing plant at this facility.
After the drying process,the sand and aggregate are dropped by chute into the rotary mixer drum.
The sand and aggregate materials are mixed with liquid asphalt,reclaimed asphalt product(rap) and
any particulate matter from the inertial separator and bagfilter(ID No. CD I)in the rotary mixer
drum. There is no drying in the mixer drum. After the mixing process,the hot mix asphalt product
is conveyed by the drag slat to storage silo (ID No. ES3 or company ID No. 1)or from the drag slat to
the traverse conveyor. From the traverse conveyor,the hot mix asphalt product is conveyed into
storage silo (ID No. ES4 or company ID No. 2). The hot mix asphalt product is gravity dropped from
the two storage silos into the beds of dump trucks.
During the inspection,the surface mix asphalt product,9.5C,was being stored in silo(ID No. ES4 or
company ID No. 2). The storage silo(ID No. ES3 or company ID No. 1)was empty. The surface
mix asphalt product was being gravity dropped from the two storage silos into the beds of dump
trucks with no visible emissions observed by me.
The particulate matter emissions from the rotary drum aggregate dryer exhaust to an inertial
separator. At the base of the inertial separator,the particulate matter emissions are gravity dropped
through a chute into the mixer drum. From the bagfilter,the particulate matter emissions are screw
conveyed into the mixer drum. This company has a gauge measured in inches of water that is used to
determine the pressure differential across the bagfilter. The gauge is located on the control panel
inside the plant office.
Observed. The continuous drum mix asphalt plant was operating at 100 tons per hour and producing
surface mix asphalt product, 9.5C. The rotary drum aggregate dryer was firing on natural gas. The
