Number R-B-8, Development of Average Emission Factors and Baseline Emission
Estimates for the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process
Heaters NESHAP, October 2002; so that figure is used as the latest information from
EPA emission factor : 7.1E-05 pounds of HCl per million BTUs generated in the boiler.
= 7.1E-11 pounds of HCl per BTU generated in the boiler.
PS-1 emissions of HCl:
Basis: 1,647,188 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil burned 2004
1,647,188 gal #6 F.O. x 150,000 BTU = 2.47E+11 BTU
gal #6 F.O.
2.47E+11 BTU x 7.1E-11 lb HCl = 17.54 lb. HCl
