Executive Summary Two major stationary sources (Stacks A and B at Facility A) in the Athabasca Oil Sands
Region (AOSR) were tests for source profiles and emission rates (ERs) using a dilution sampling system during March (winter), 2011. Results are compared with earlier tests on the same stacks during August (summer), 2008. The 2011 tests included mixing of hot stack effluents with winter-like (>8–18 °C) and summer-like (24–37 °C) dilution air. Study objectives were to: 1) quantify stack emissions under winter conditions and compare to summer emissions; and 2) quantify species that were not measured in summer 2008, including non-methane hydrocarbons, halocarbons, carbonyls, mercury, particulate nitro-PAH, particle-bound water, and particle acidity. A sample of flue gas was drawn out of the stack and diluted with filtered air to simulate rapid changes that occur when flue gas encounters ambient air. Concentrations of gaseous and particulate matter (PM) pollutants were measured in real time by continuous monitors and were also collected on sampling media for subsequent laboratory analysis. Two stacks were tested in this study. Stack A exhausts flue gas from two CO boilers that oxidize overhead gases from two fluid cokers, sour water treating units, and sometimes the sulfur recovery units. Most of the solid PM was removed by two electrostatic precipitators (ESP) before entering the stack and being vented to the atmosphere. Stack B receives CO boiler flue gas from a third fluid coker and sulfur recovery units after a portion of the primary PM is removed by an ESP and SO2 is scrubbed by an ammonia-based flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG Among the greenhouse gases (GHGs), CO2 has the highest ERs: (4.99±0.06)×105 kg/hr
in 2011 and (2.61±0.05)×105 kg/hr in summer 2008 for Stack A, and (2.62±0.02)×105 kg/hr in winter 2011 and (1.77±0.02)×105 kg/hr in summer 2008 for Stack B. Winter ER is 91% and 48% higher than summer for Stacks A and B, respectively. ER for Stack A is 90% and 47% higher
xiii
than Stack B for winter and summer, respectively. ERs of CH4 and halocarbons in winter 2011 (2008 data were not available) were relatively low: 6.4±1.9 kg/hr and 5.8±2.3 kg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively, and 0.22±0.03 kg/hr and 0.11±0.04 kg/hr total halocarbons for Stacks A and B, respectively.
Non-Methane Hydrocarbon (NMHC) Compositions Concentrations of most non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) from both stacks were
close to ambient levels, which were subtracted from stack contributions. Species with the highest ERs were ethene, propene, propane, ethane, and n-heptane for Stack A, and n-pentane, iso-pentane, n-butane, iso-butane, and toluene for Stack B. Stack A had higher carbonyl concentrations than ambient levels, and the three carbonyls with the highest ERs were acetone (5.5 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (1.9 kg/hr), and formaldehyde (0.4 kg/hr). Carbonyl concentrations in Stack B were similar to ambient levels, and the three species with the highest ERs were acetone (0.12 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (0.06 kg/hr), and propionaldehyde (0.01 kg/hr). The five most abundant NMHC species in Stack A were: ethene, ethane, propane, propylene, and n-butane, and the five most abundant species in Stack B were: trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, n-nonane, cyclohexane, and benzene. Alkanes and cycloalkanes were the most abundant groups, accounting for 62% and 47% of the sum of the 55 photochemical assessment monitoring station (PAMS) compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. Halocarbon abundances were low: the sum of all halocarbons was only 2.9% and 8.4% of the sum of Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Station (PAMS) compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. Acetone and acetaldehyde are the most abundant carbonyls, accounting for 67% and 20% of total carbonyls for Stack A, and 71% and 24% for Stack B, respectively.
PM2.5 Chemical Composition For Stack A, the major chemical component of PM2.5 was (NH4)2SO4 in 2008 and H2SO4
droplets in 2011, accounting for 53.9% and 92.4% of PM2.5 mass, respectively, probably due to large differences in NH3. For Stack B, (NH4)2SO4 was the major PM2.5 composition both in 2008 and 2011, accounting for 91.3% of PM2.5 mass.
Major Differences between Winter 2011, Summer 2008, and 2007 Compliance Tests The differences in ERs between cold and warm dilution were statistically insignificant for
most species. However, there were significant differences between winter 2011 and summer 2008 ERs: For Stack A, the ER of CO in 2011 was ~20% of that in 2008, and NH3 was below detection limit in 2011 but was 16.6 kg/hr in 2008. ERs of other species were higher in 2011 than 2008 with 2011/2008 ratios of: 1.9 for CO2, 3.6 for NO, 5.8 for H2S, and 4.7 for PM2.5. For Stack B, the ER of CO in 2011 was ~10% of that in 2008, and 2011 NH3 was only ~4% of the 2008 value. 2011 SO2 was ~90% of the 2008 ER. ERs of other species were higher in 2011 with 2011/2008 ratios of: 1.5 for CO2, 2.0 for NO, and 15.9 for PM2.5. The coker feed rate changed by<20% between the summer 2008 and winter 2011 test periods. Therefore, the coker feed rate was not a dominant factor that caused the ER changes. The ~10% reduction in SO2 emissions from Stack B (although coker feed rate increased 16%) is probably due to higher SO2 removal efficiency in 2011 (93.6%) than 2008 (82%).
Stack A NOx, SO2, and PM25 ERs from dilution sampling in summer 2008 were 52%, >12%, and 18%, respectively, of NOx, SO2, and TSP ERs from compliance tests in 2007, while NOx and SO2 from winter 2011 sampling were 90% and 6% higher than compliance tests, and PM25 was 6% lower than TSP. For Stack B, NOx from summer 2008 dilution testing was 45%
xiv
higher than compliance tests in 2007, and 2008 SO2 ERs were similar to those of the compliance tests. The PM25 ER by summer 2008 dilution sampling was only ~3% of the TSP or 21% of the filterable PM from compliance tests. The NOx ER from winter 2011 dilution sampling was 3.2 times of that of compliance tests, while SO2 was 14% lower. The winter 2011 PM25 ER from dilution sampling was 4.5 times the compliance test’s hot filter PM, and 39% lower than the TSP combining hot filter and impinger catches. Differences between the 2008 and 2011 tests are probably caused by differences in the feedstock, and stack operating conditions, rather than differences in temperature owing to summer and winter sampling.

1 Introduction 1.1 Background
Emission inventories estimate that stationary sources contribute 43.9% of carbon monoxide (CO), 30.2% of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 97.6% of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nearly 100% of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and ammonia (NH3), and 80% of PM2.5 (particles with aerodynamic diameters <2.5 µm) as fractions of total anthropogenic emissions in the region (Clearstone Engineering Ltd. and Golder Associates, 2003).
Particulate matter (PM) in stack emissions derives from incomplete combustion as well as from mineral matter and other impurities in the process or fuel (Lighty et al., 2000). Particles form during combustion by chemical transformation and condensation of inorganic and organic vapors. As emissions exit the stack, hot exhaust rapidly mixes with ambient air and cools, resulting in vapor species nucleating homogeneously and heterogeneously or condensing on pre-existing particles. Condensational growth of particles in a diluted plume depends on temperature, relative humidity (RH), aging time, mixing with surrounding air, and partitioning of species between the gas and solid phases.
Alberta Environment (1995) stationary source compliance testing for particulate matter (PM) emissions uses the hot-filter/impinger approach similar to the U.S. EPA (2000) Method 5. This method collects particles from hot stack effluent onto a heated glass-fiber filter (120±14 ˚C) and intends to account for condensable PM by passing the filtered stack gas through ice-cooled impingers. The hot filter sample underestimates real-world PM emissions because the filterable mass does not account for condensable compounds, while the impinger catch overestimates condensable PM because some gases are collected in the impinger solutions (Corio and Sherwell, 2000; England et al., 2000; 2007a; 2007b; Richards et al., 2005; Sheya et al., 2008). Method 5-based methods do not segregate mass into size fractions, such as PM2.5 and PM10 (particles with aerodynamic diameters <10 µm), that are quantified in ambient air to protect public health and welfare in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) (WBEA, 2011). Recently, U.S. EPA updated Methods 201A (U.S.EPA, 2010a) and 202 (U.S.EPA, 2010b) to collect PM2.5, PM10, and condensable PM.
An alternative method, commonly applied to engines used in mobile source compliance tests (Code of Federal Regulations, 2001a; 2001b), is dilution sampling, where the hot and moist stack emission is mixed with clean air in a chamber that simulates dilution and cooling when the flue gas exits the stack. This method provides a more representative estimate of PM2.5 stack emissions after the effluent is mixed and cooled with ambient air (Chang et al., 2004; 2007a; 2007b; U.S.EPA, 2004).
A dilution sampling system was applied during August, 2008 to measure emissions from three stacks (Stacks A, B, and C) at two facilities (Facilities A and B) in the AOSR (Watson et al., 2013) . Table 1-1 lists emission rates (ERs) of criteria air contaminants (CO, NOx, SO2, PM2.5, and lead [Pb]) from the three stacks. The major PM2.5 component was (NH4)2SO4 for Stacks A and B. The sulfate (SO4
=) was not neutralized by ammonium (NH4+) in PM2.5 from
Stack C, indicating particle composition of water bounded sulfuric acid (H2SO4· xH2O).

Since stack emissions depend on the feedstock, industrial processes, and ambient conditions, it is expected that ERs will differ from test to test. Additional dilution tests during March 2011 quantified winter emissions from Stacks A and B. In addition to the species measured in 2008, mercury (Hg) and nitro- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs), acidity, PM2.5-bound water, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by canister, and carbonyl VOCs by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) cartridge were added to the measurement matrix.
Atmospheric Hg is divided into three operationally-defined forms: 1) gaseous elemental Hg (GEM); 2) reactive gaseous or gaseous oxidized Hg (RGM or GOM, e.g., HgO, HgCl2, HgBr2, Hg[OH]2); and 3) particle-bound Hg (PHg) (Gustin and Jaffe, 2010). GEM is stable in the environment, mostly volatile and only sparingly soluble in water, and can transport over long distances. RGM is highly water soluble and therefore readily scavenged by precipitation. It has a high dry deposition rate (1-5 cm/s, comparable to that of nitric acid) (Lindberg et al., 1992; Lindberg and Stratton, 1998; U.S.EPA, 1997). Some organic RGM components, such as monomethylmercury and dimethylmercury, are toxic and can bioaccumulate by a factor of up to 105 in the aquatic food chain (Gilmour and Henry, 1991; U.S.EPA, 2006; 2008a). PHg comprises both stable condensed phases and adsorbed or dissolved gaseous and semi-volatile Hg species. It plays an important role in both wet and dry deposition to terrestrial and aquatic environments (Lynam and Keeler, 2002). In ambient air, GEM is the dominant form with RGM and PHg being typically <2% of total Hg (Gustin and Jaffe, 2010). However, emissions from combustion sources may contain higher RGM factions. For example, one study reported that Hg emissions from coal combustion contains 20-50% of GEM and 50-80% RGM, while Hg from waste incinerators contains 10-20% GEM and 75-85% RGM (Carpi, 1997). According to the National Pollutant Release Inventory, the upstream petroleum industry emitted 107.6 kg Hg in Alberta for CY2009 (Environment Canada, 2011a). Of this, 6.8 kg was estimated to derive from oil sands in-situ extraction and processing, 35 kg from oil sands mining extraction and processing, and 65.8 kg from bitumen and heavy-oil upgrading. Hg emissions from the upstream petroleum industry contributed 11.2% of the total anthropogenic Hg emissions in Alberta during 2009 (Environment Canada, 2011a).
Nitro-PAHs are a subgroup of PAH that contain at least one nitro-(NO2) functional group on the aromatic ring. Nitro-PAH levels have been related to lung cancer development, and are mutagenic in bacterial systems, causing mutations and tumors in animal models (Landvik et al., 2007; Tokiwa et al., 1983; Tokiwa and Sera, 2000). Nitro-PAHs are emitted from various combustion sources including vehicles and stationary sources. They can also form in the atmosphere through PAH nitration (Dimashki et al., 2000a; Dimashki et al., 2000b; Schuetzle and Perez, 1983; Zwirner-Baier and Neumann, 1999).
1.2 Study Objectives Specific objectives of the March 2011 stack testing were to:
• Quantify ERs from two major stacks in the AOSR under real-world winter operating conditions. Quantified pollutants included non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), greenhouse gases (GHG; including carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], and halocarbons), carbonyls, CO, NH3, NOx, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), SO2, Hg, and PM.
• Determine chemical source profiles for NMHC and PM2.5 for receptor modeling source apportionment and speciated emission inventories.
• Compare ER and source profile differences between August 2008 (summer) and March 2011 (winter).

2 Experimental Methods 2.1 Overview
A dilution sampling system drew flue gas from the stack, diluted it with filtered ambient air, and quantified total volatile organic compounds (VOCs; isobutylene equivalent), CO, CO2, nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), SO2, particle number, size-segregated particle mass, black carbon (BC), and ultraviolet light-absorbing carbon (UVC) on a continuous basis (1‒6 second averages). Integrated samples were acquired in a stainless steel canister, a DNPH cartridge, and impregnated filters over 88-124 min sampling periods for laboratory analyses of speciated VOCs, halocarbons, carbonyls, NH3, H2S, SO2, and PM2.5. PM2.5 was characterized for acidity, particle-bound water, light absorption coefficient (babs), mass, elements, Pb isotopes, water-soluble ions, OC, EC, and organic compounds (e.g., total water-soluble organic carbon [WSOC], three WSOC classes (i.e., neutral, mono-/di-carboxylic acids, and polycarboxylic acids), carbohydrates, organic acids, hopanes, steranes, alkanes, alkenes, PAHs, and nitro-PAHs). Integrated samples of Hg (including GEM, RGM, and PHg) were collected on potassium chloride (KCl)-impregnated filters and gold-coated quartz traps for quantification of total Hg.
2.2 Dilution Sampling System The dilution sampling system is illustrated in Figure 2-1. This system is an enhancement
of the 2008 configuration (Watson et al., 2013) that can be more easily adapted to a wide-range of real-world emission testing (Wang et al., 2012a; 2012b). A sample of ~6 L/min flue gas was drawn isokinetically from the stack with a buttonhook sampling probe similar to that used by Alberta Stack Sampling Code Method 5 (Alberta Environment, 1995). The 2.4 m-long sampling line was heated to ~5 °C above the stack flue gas temperature to minimize condensation and thermophoretic deposition. A portion of the flue gas (1 L/min) passed through a water trap and a dryer to remove water vapor before the CO2 concentration in the flue gas was measured. The remaining ~5 L/min flue gas was diluted by ambient air blown through an activated charcoal bed followed by a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to remove volatile gas species and particles, respectively. The dilution air flow rate was controlled by a mass flow controller and its CO2 concentration was measured. The sample and dilution air were turbulently mixed before entering a spiral residence chamber to age for ~20 seconds, nearly twice of the minimum aging time (10 seconds) required to achieve stable gas/particle equilibrium (Chang et al., 2004). A portion of the diluted sample (10.05 L/min) was drawn through the real-time PM measurement instruments. The remaining flow passed through a Bendix 240 PM2.5 cyclone (113 L/min) into a conical plenum where it was split into multiple streams for quantification by real-time gas instruments and integrated samplers. The dilution ratio (DR; 17–47) was determined from the CO2 concentrations in the undiluted, diluted, and background streams and was controlled by varying the dilution and makeup flows.
Particle losses through the dilution system without the 2.4 m-long sampling line were evaluated prior to the field measurement using monodisperse polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) of five sizes (0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 µm) entrained in sample flow heated to 70 °C and diluted by a factor of ~20. The measured transmission efficiencies were ~100% for 0.5‒5 μm PSL and 86.2±18.6% for 10 μm PSL. Particle losses through the 2.4 m sampling probe were estimated for

Brownian diffusion and gravimetric setting under stack sampling conditions (Kulkarni et al., 2011). The overall transmission efficiencies are estimated to be ~100% for 0.1‒1 µm, 96‒98% for 2.5 µm, 46‒56% for 10 µm, and 0% for ≥18 µm.
Dilution was carried out under cold and warm conditions. In cold dilution, the dilution air compressor was placed outside of the stack enclosure to send outside air through a 2-m long and 11-mm inner diameter (ID) stainless steel tube that was cooled by outdoor air to dissipate the heat from the compressor. Due to the low temperature of the dilution air, condensation was observed inside the residence chamber. In warm dilution, the compressor was placed inside the stack enclosure and the heat added by the compressor was not intentionally dissipated. The residence chamber was heated to 24–37 °C to reduce condensation.
Specifications for real-time gas and particulate monitoring instruments are provided in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2, respectively. Since the magnitudes of stack concentrations were not known, NO, NO2, and NOx were measured by different instruments in different concentration ranges: the 2B NO/NO2 monitor for 2-2000 ppb and the Testo emission analyzer for 1–500 ppm. Similarly, SO2 was measured by the Ecotech SO2 analyzer for 0.3–20,000 ppb and the Testo emission analyzer for 1–5000 ppm. SO2 was also collected on cellulose-fiber filters impregnated with ~700 µmol potassium carbonate (K2CO3).
Parallel to the sampling probe, a type S Pitot tube measured the pressure difference (ΔP) between two openings, from which the stack flow velocity and flow rate were calculated according to U.S. EPA Method 2 (2011). Temperatures of stack gas, dilution air, and diluted sample were measured by type K thermocouples.
Flow into the canister for CH4 and VOCs (C2-C12) was controlled by an orifice (Model K4LP-1E-SS, O’Keefe Controls Co., Trumbull, CT) with a nominal aperture diameter of 0.038 mm and critical flow rate of 15 cm3/min. A flow of 1 L/min was drawn through the DNPH cartridge for carbonyls. Figure 2-2 depicts the filter pack configurations and analysis parameters for PM and inorganic gases. Two channels were added to the four filter channels used for the 2008 tests for acidity (pH) and nitro-PAH analysis. The pH channel was motivated by a lack of mass closure for Stack C in summer 2008 which was attributed to water associated with H2SO4. Nitro-PAHs were added owing to their potential toxicity. The nominal flow rates through filter packs were set to 16.7 L/min. The flow rates were set at the beginning of the experiment by adjusting the valves while referencing a calibrated rotameter, and were measured again after sampling. The average of flow rate readings at the beginning and ending of sampling were used to calculate sample volumes and concentrations. Particles collected on the filters were subject to laboratory analysis as illustrated in Figure 2-2 and described by Chow and Watson (2012).
Hg sampling was based on U.S. EPA (1999a) Method IO-5. Flue gas was drawn into a glass-coated stainless steel probe heated to 140 °C at a flow rate of 10 L/min. A KCl- impregnated quartz-fiber filter collected RGM and PHg. The KCl coating allowed nearly 100% penetration of GEM with nearly 100% capture of RGM and PHg (Landis et al., 2002; Xiao et al., 1997). The flow was split downstream of the quartz-fiber filter with 0.5 L/min passing through a gold-coated quartz trap (Part No. 35-26510-00, Tekran Instruments Corp., Toronto, Canada) in a heated cartridge (Model 2030, Tekran Instrument Corp.) to collect GEM and RGM passing

2.3 Stack Information Source emissions were sampled from Stacks A and B in Facility A during March 2011.
These were the same two out of the three stacks tested in August 2008. These stacks were identified by Clearstone Engineering Ltd. (2006) as among the largest stationary source emitters in the AOSR. Stack A exhausts flue gas from two CO boilers that oxidize overhead gases from two fluid cokers, sour water treating units, and sometimes the sulfur recovery units. Most of the solid PM was removed by two electrostatic precipitators (ESP) before entering the stack and being vented to the atmosphere. Stack B receives CO boiler flue gas from a third fluid coker and sulfur recovery units after a portion of the primary PM is removed by an ESP and SO2 is scrubbed by an ammonia-based flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process. Stacks A and B were tested during March 16–19 and March 21–24, 2011, respectively. Facility A records indicate that the coker feed rates were 8% lower during the sampling period in 2011 than in 2008 for Stack A, while it was 16% higher in 2011 for Stack B. The SO2 recovery efficiency for Stack B increased from 82% in the 2008 testing period to 93.6% in the 2011 test period. The lower FGD recovery efficiency in 2008 was due to increased SO2 loading caused either by lower efficiency of the sulfur recovery plants or an increase in the coker feed rates. The coker connected to the FGD stack operated at higher burner/reactor temperatures in 2008, causing increase in SO2 production. The higher SO2 loading increased the amount of ammonium sulfite [(NH4)2SO3] in the ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4] slurry in the FGD sump and reduced SO2 recovery.
2.4 Test Procedure The test protocol is summarized in Table 2-3. Zero and span checks were performed on
each of the continuous instruments before and after the field study to verify calibration within the specified ranges listed in Table 2-1 and Table 2-2. Field blank concentrations were quantified for subtraction. Flow rates for unexposed and exposed filter packs were verified before and after sampling, respectively. Filter packs along with the field data sheet were packaged individually in airtight containers and stored cold in a cooler. A total of 26 stack effluent sample, two dilution sampling system blanks (as shown in Table 2-4), and two field blanks were collected. Sample durations ranged from 88 to 124 minutes and dilution ratio ranged from 17:1 to 47:1 with an average of 23:1 for Stack A and 34:1 for Stack B. In addition to these samples, eight Hg filter and quartz trap samples were collected from both Stack A and Stack B, with sampling time ranged 60–120 minutes.
Compliance stack sampling typically requires traversing multiple sampling points across the stack cross section (Alberta Environment, 1995). The sampling point was fixed at a radial location in this study. A velocity traverse measurement in Stack A showed that the velocity at the sampling point (1.5 m from the stack wall) was only 3% different from the average stack velocity. Since PM2.5 disperses with flow due to its low inertia, it is assumed that velocity and concentrations at the sampling point represent the average values.

detector/mass spectrometry (GC-FID/MS) following U.S. EPA (1999b) Method TO-15. DNPH

Table 2-3. Procedure for field testing of stack emission with the dilution sampling system. Procedure Beginning of the Day • Recharge the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) cartridge on the CPC.
• Connect all tubing. • Make electrical connections and turn on instruments. • Set the dilution flow to 113 L/min, and close the excess flow valve so that no stack flue gas is sampled
into the system. • Heat the sampling probes. • Heat the dilution tunnel if testing for warm dilution. • Synchronize time stamps of DRX, AE51, and AE52. • Check flow rates of all continuous instruments. • Perform zero and ambient concentration checks of all continuous instruments. • Measure the dilution factor of the dilution bridge upstream of the CPC.
Before Run • For cold dilution, place the dilution air compressor outside the sampling platform and cool the flow after the pump; for warm dilution, place the compressor close to the dilution system, and heat the dilution tunnel.
• Verify that the excess flow valve is closed so that no stack flue gas is sampled into the system. • Verify that the water trap in the stack CO2 line is free of water. • Install unexposed filters on the filter sampler and set flow rate of the filter packs to the specified 16.7
L/min. • Install the critical orifice on the canister inlet, and place the canister in the sampling line with inlet valve
closed. • Install a dummy DNPH cartridge in the sampling line. • Start the LabView data acquisition and control program; type in date, site, and Run ID. • Initiate the real-time instruments from the LabView program; ensure all instruments are communicating
with the data acquisition computer, and concentrations are in reasonable range for filtered dilution air. • Open the excess flow valve to ~7.6 L/min (~6 turns) and record the starting time. • Monitor the diluted CO2 concentration and fine tune the excess flow until the CO2 is in the 3000-5000
ppm range. • Replace the dummy DNPH cartridge with a test cartridge, open the inlet valve to the canister, and record
the DNPH and canister starting time. During Run • Inspect the file directory to verify that data from every instrument is being logged.
• Examine the measured values to ensure that they are within the limits of specified operating ranges. • Monitor the diluted CO2 concentration. If it drops below 2000 ppm due to reduced flow as filters are
loaded, open the excess flow valve to adjust it back to ~4000 ppm. • Drain excess water when the water trap is 2/3 filled. • At the end of the run, close the inlet valve of the canister and replace the DNPH cartridge with dummy. • Close the excess flow valve so that only the dilution flow is pumped into the system. • Record the stop time.
After Run • Record final flow rates for each filter pack • Store the six filter packs. • Download data from instruments and clear internal memory if necessary. • Replace the AE51 and AE52 filters if needed. • Drain the water trap. • Check dilution factor of the CPC. • Check soda lime and dryers on CO2 analyzer lines.
End of the Day • Download data and verify data validity for each of the real-time instruments. • Clear internal memory in real-time instruments. • Replace the Teflon® filter in the gas sampling line. • Clean the sampling probe, sampling line, and cyclone. • Power down all instruments and heaters.

cartridges were analyzed for carbonyls using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) according to Compendium Method TO-11A (U.S.EPA, 1999c; Zielinska et al., 2001). Chemical analyses for the four-channel filter samples used in both 2008 and 2011 stack tests were previously described (Chow and Watson, 2012; Watson et al., 2013). This section describes the analysis methods for measurements added in this study, including: 1) particulate acidity from Teflon®-membrane filter, 2) particulate hygroscopicity and evaporation potential from Teflon®-membrane filter, 3) nitro-PAH from Teflon® impregnated glass-fiber (TIGF) filter, and 4) Hg from KCl-impregnated quartz-fiber filter and gold-coated quartz trap.
2.5.1 Particulate Acidity Analysis Particulate acidity analysis was based on U.S. EPA (1999d) Method IO-4.1. The
Teflon®-membrane filter was extracted with 10 ml of a perchloric acid, KCl, water, and ethanol solution in an NH3-free environment and the pH of a 2 ml aliquot of this extract was measured with a calibrated pH electrode (Model SB70P symphony Meter, VWR, Radnor, PA). PM acidity was calculated with reference to pH standards made with H2SO4.
2.5.2 Particle Hygroscopicity and Evaporation Analysis H2SO4 particles can retain water (H2O) under the filter conditioning environment (21.5 ±
1.5 °C and 35 ± 5% RH) in the weighing laboratory. The following procedure was used to estimate the mass of particle-bound water and volatile species:
• Exposed Teflon®-membrane filters were equilibrated for 24 hours under the standard conditions prior to weighing (original mass).
• After re-weighing, these filters were placed in a desiccator loaded with silica gel that maintained RH<1%. After 72 hours, the filters were immediately re-weighed. It was observed that the weight of desiccated filters from Stack A continuously increased as they were being weighed in the 35 ± 5% RH laboratory conditions .
• Filters were conditioned in the laboratory for another 24 hours and then re-weighed. • After XRF elemental analysis in a vacuum, the filters were equilibrated under standard
conditions for 24 hours followed by another re-weighing.
2.5.3 Nitro-PAH Analysis Seven deuterated internal standards were added to each TIGF filter sample prior to
extraction for nitro-PAH analysis: 1) 2-nitrodiphenyl-d9, 2) 2-nitrofluorene-d9, 3) 9-nitroanthracene-d9, 4) 3-nitrofluoranthene-d9, 5) 1-nitropyrne-d9, 6) 9-nitrochrysene-d11, and 7) 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene-d11. Filters were extracted with 120 ml dichloromethane using the Accelerated Solvent Extractor (Model ASE300, Dionex Corp., Sunnyvale, CA). The extracts were then concentrated by rotary evaporation at 35 °C under gentle vacuum to ~1 mL and filtered through 0.2 µm PTFE disposal syringe filters (PuradiscTM 25 TF, Whatman Inc., Piscataway, NJ). The flask was rinsed three times with 1 ml dichloromethane to obtain all of the material. The extracts were further pre-cleaned by the solid-phase extraction technique, using Aminopropyl (NH2) SPE cartridges (Waters, Milford, MA) and sequential elution with hexane/dichloromethane (98%/2% volume) and hexane/dichloromethane (80%/20% volume). The fractions were combined, concentrated to ~100 µl, and analyzed by negative ion chemical ionization (NICI) GC/MS, using a triple quadrupole GC/MS/MS system (Model 1200, Varian Inc, Palo Alto, CA) with a CP-8400 autosampler. NICI offers a high sensitivity for the analysis
2-11
of nitro-PAH (approximately 100 times higher than electron impact ionization or positive chemical ionization). The minimum detection limits (MDLs) for nitro-PAHs are generally in the range of 1–10 pg/µl. The sample extracts are usually concentrated down to 100 µl for analysis; thus the MDLs in pg/µl are multiplied by 100 to obtain the MDLs in the range of 0.1–1 ng/sample.
2.5.4 Hg Analysis Hg collected on the KCl impregnated quartz-fiber filters and gold-coated quartz traps
were analyzed by dual-amalgamation cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectrometry (CVAFS; Model 2600, Tekran Instruments Corp.) based on U.S. EPA Methods IO-5 (U.S.EPA, 1999a) and 1631 (U.S.EPA, 2002). The following steps were followed quantify Hg on KCl-impregnated quartz-fiber filter:
1. Each KCl-impregnated quartz-fiber filters was extracted with 10% hydrochloric acid (HCl).
2. Bromine monochloride (BrCl) was added to the extract to oxidize all forms of Hg to Hg++.
3. Stannous chloride (SnCl2) was added to reduce the Hg++ to volatile GEM. 4. GEM was liberated from the extract by purging with argon (Ar) and collected on a gold-
coated bead sample trap. 5. The sample trap was heated to release the collected Hg, which was carried into an
analytical trap where it was amalgamated to the gold surface. 6. The analytical trap was heated to release the GEM which then flowed into the CVAFS
detector cell. 7. The GEM in the detector cell absorbed UV light and the resulting fluorescence was
converted to a voltage proportional to the amount of GEM detected by a photomultiplier tube. Analysis of Hg collected on the gold-coated quartz traps uses Steps 5-7. Detection limits
achieved using Method IO-5 are 29 pg/filter for Hg collected on filters and 2.54 pg/trap for Hg collected on the trap.

3 Data Validation 3.1 Laboratory Data Validation
Laboratory data validation evaluates the internal consistency of PM2.5 mass and chemical composition (Chow et al., 1994). Physical consistency is tested for: 1) mass closure, 2) anion and cation balance, 3) calculated versus measured NH4
+, 4) hygroscopicity, volatility, and 5) SO4=
versus total sulfur (S).
3.1.1 Mass Closure The sum of species should be less than or equal to the corresponding gravimetric PM2.5
mass loading, since unmeasured species such as oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) are not included. Figure 3-1a shows that the regression between the sum of species and gravimetric mass had a low slope (0.54) for Stack A, indicating that important amounts (~46%) of PM2.5 mass might be associated with water that was not directly measured. Non-neutralized SO4
= from Stack A could be in the form of H2SO4•5.48 H2O under the filter conditioning conditions (21.5 ± 1.5 °C and 35 ± 5% RH). Liquid water has a mass of 1.03×[SO4
=], and H+ has a mass of 0.021×[SO4=]. Adding
contributions from H2O and H+ to the sum of measured species results in a slope of 1.0. For Stack B, the sum of species and gravimetric mass had a higher regression slope of
0.88 (Figure 3-1b), which is more typical for aerosol samples. The gravimetric mass from sample B-W4 (indicated as a red symbol in Figure 3-1b) was ~40% lower than neighboring samples with similar dilution ratios. This Teflon®-membrane filter was wet at the point of unloading before conditioning and weighing, so it was flagged as an outlier and excluded from regression analysis, and the mass calculated from the sum of species and the regression equation in Figure 3-1b was used to calculate PM2.5 emission factors and source profiles for this run.
3.1.2 Anion and Cation Balance The anion and cation balance compares the sum of anions (i.e., Cl-, NO2
-, NO3-, PO4
≡, and SO4
=) to the sum of cations (H+, NH4+, Na+, Mg++, K+, and Ca++) in microequivalent mole
concentrations (µeq/m3). Species concentrations (in µg/m3) are divided by the atomic weight of the chemical species times the species’ charge:

Figure 3-2a shows that the anion and cation correlation for PM2.5 from Stack A has a
slope of 1.21, indicating that ~20% of the anions were not balanced by the quantified cations. Figure 3-2b shows that the ions were in balance for PM2.5 from Stack B with a slope near unity (1.05) and R2 ~ 1.00. Two outliers are observed in both stacks (marked as red symbols). Discrepancies of the two outliers from Stack A arose from pH measurements for [H+]. Sample A-W1 showed a much higher pH than other samples and [H+] was only 25-50% of other samples, while sample A-W5 showed much lower pH than other samples for which [H+] was 1.3-2.7 higher.

Two outliers from Stack B (W4 and W5) showing higher anions than cations were associated with higher SO4
= and lower NH4+ compared to the other samples, possibly due to
some non-neutralized SO4=.
Figure 3-3 compares average PM2.5 water-soluble ion concentrations from both stacks. SO4
= was the dominant anion for both stacks. For Stack A, [H+] was 78% of [SO4=] and [NH4
+] was only 5% of [SO4
=], indicating that the main composition of PM2.5 from Stack A was H2SO4 with a small percentage of NH4HSO4. For Stack B, [H+] was <0.5% of [SO4
=] and [NH4+] was
99% of [SO4=], indicating the main composition of PM2.5 from Stack B was (NH4)2SO4.
3.1.3 Calculated versus Measured NH4+
Figure 3-4 compares calculated versus measured [NH4+] for different degrees of acid
neutralization. Assuming full neutralization, [NH4+] directly measured by automated colorimetry
(AC) analysis of the quartz-fiber filter extract can be compared with calculated [NH4+], which is
the sum of NH4NO3 and either (NH4)2SO4 (0.29 × [NO3-] + 0.38 × [SO4
=]) or (NH4)HSO4 (0.29 × [NO3
-] + 0.192 × [HSO4-]). Figure 3-4a shows that for Stack A, the calculated [NH4
+] was ~17.5 and 8.9 times higher than the measured [NH4
+] on average when assuming (NH4)2SO4 and NH4HSO4, respectively. This is consistent with Stack A SO4
= being in the form of H2SO4, as indicated by the anion/cation balance. For Stack B (Figure 3-4b), the calculated and measured [NH4
+] had a slope slightly greater than unity (1.05) with high correlation (R2=0.99) when assuming (NH4)2SO4.
3.1.4 Hygroscopicity and Volatility Table 3-1 and Figure 3-5 compare PM mass measurements for the different equilibration
procedures described in Section 2.5.2. System and field blanks show <5 µg mass change, as expected for dilution air and un-sampled, inert Teflon filters that are not contaminated during handling and transport. Filters from Stack A lost 8.1±5.8% of their mass after drying, but returned to 98.5±1.4% of original mass after re-equilibrating. Samples submitted to XRF analysis under vacuum lost 67.3±7.3% of their mass. When Stack A filters were weighed after removal from the desiccator (<1% RH), their mass quickly increased as particles started absorbing water vapor. Therefore, the mass obtained from this step is higher than the true mass under dry conditions. For filters from Stack B, drying resulted in a 2.0±1.3% mass loss, which did not change after re-equilibration (1.9±1.2% mass loss). The mass before and after the XRF vacuum did not change (0.3±0.8%).
The Extended Aerosol Inorganics Model (E-AIM; Clegg et al., 1998) was applied to calculate the equilibrium mole fraction of H2O over a H2SO4 and H2O system. At 21.5°C, the H2SO4 and H2O system has a molecular form of H2SO4•5.48 H2O and H2SO4•1.59 H2O at 35% and 1% RH, respectively. This indicates that the mass of particle-bound water is 1.03×[SO4
=] at 35% RH. Decreasing RH from 35% to 1% would cause 35.6% loss of the particle mass at 35% RH. This estimated loss is higher than the observed loss (8.1±5.8%), probably because the dried filter quickly absorbed water while being weighed. When exposed to the vacuum in XRF (1–2 Pa), H2O evaporated due to its higher vapor pressure. The weight loss due to water evaporation from H2SO4•5.48 H2O (equilibrium at 21.5°C and 35% RH) to H2SO4•0.084 H2O (azeotrope of H2SO4 solution; 98.479% H2SO4 and 1.521% of H2O by weight) is 49.4% of its original mass, which is smaller than the observed loss after XRF (67.3±7.3%). Pure H2SO4 has low vapor pressure (Seinfeld and Pandis, 1998: p.526) and is not expected to evaporate under the XRF

vacuum. However, if the filter is in the vacuum long enough to reach the azeotrope of H2SO4 solution, SO3 and H2O start to evaporate at the same rate (Richardson et al., 1986), causing permanent loss of total mass and S, consistent with observations for this study. (NH4)2SO4 does not absorb water below its deliquescence RH (79-81%) with increasing RH, or below its efflorescence RH (33-48%) with decreasing RH (Martin, 2000). Filters from Stack B are likely dry after conditioning in the laboratory. (NH4)2SO4 has low saturation vapor pressure and does not evaporate under the XRF vacuum.
3.1.5 SO4= versus Total S
SO4= is measured by IC on quartz-fiber filter extracts while total S is measured by XRF
on Teflon®-membrane filters. The ratio of SO4= to S is expected to equal to three if all S is
present as SO4=. Water-soluble SO4
= should not exceed three times the S concentration, within precision estimates. However, Figure 3-6a and b show that Stacks A and B have slopes of 4.39 and 4.75, respectively. The two possible causes for these >3 slopes are: 1) volatile sulfur-containing species (e.g., H2SO4) were measured by IC, but were vaporized under the vacuum of the XRF analysis chamber; and 2) the filters were heavily loaded and the X-ray may not totally penetrate the particle layer, causing underestimation of S. The IC SO4
= is the more accurate concentration for this case.
3.2 Real-time Data Validation Most real-time instruments (i.e., PID analyzer, emission analyzer, CO2 analyzers,
NO/NO2 monitor, SO2 analyzer, CPC, DustTrak DRX, OPC, AE51, and AE52) were serviced by manufacturers within 6 month before the stack testing. Calibrations were verified before and after the stack measurement. CO, NO, and SO2 calibration used a Scott-Martin gas mixture standard (CO: 5090 ± 31 ppm, NO: 50.2 ± 0.3 ppm, NO2: <0.3 ppm, SO2: 51.3 ± 0.5 ppm), CO2 calibration used an Airgas instrument grade 100% CO2 tank and a 4936 ± 99 ppm CO2 standard, and the PID analyzer calibration used the manufacturer provided calibration tank containing 100 ppm isobutylene. The calibration gas was diluted with zero air generated by an Environics Model 7000 zero air gas generator through either a Thermo Scientific Model 146i Multi-Gas Calibrator or a Horiba Instruments Model SGD-710C gas divider. Figure 3-7 shows that most instruments agree with the calibration standard within ±10%, with exceptions of the NO and SO2 analyzers. Figure 3-7d shows that the NO analyzer agreed with standards within ±10% for concentrations <500 ppb. Its value became ~15% lower than standard between 1000 and 2000 ppb and >25% lower for concentrations >5000 ppb (5 ppm). The SO2 analyzer agreed with standard within ±15% before the field study, but deviated >45% after the field study. It is not known when its performance changed and therefore, the SO2 readings from the SO2 analyzer are not used.
Figure 3-8 compares average diluted NO concentrations measured by the 2B NO monitor and the Testo emission analyzer. Although there is moderate correlation between these two instruments, the NO monitor readings were only ~16% of the emission analyzer. Since the emission analyzer has <10% error in the NO concentration range of 2-20 ppm while the NO monitor underestimate is >15% in this concentration range, the NO concentration from the Testo emission analyzer was used for the ER calculation.
Figure 3-9 compares the diluted SO2 concentrations measured by: a) Testo emission analyzer and b) Ecotech SO2 analyzer with K2CO3-impregnated filter. Figure 3-9a shows that the emission analyzer measured 35–77 ppm SO2 from Stack A, while the filter measured 7–13 ppm.

The K2CO3-impregnated cellulose filters have an average K2CO3 impregnation and maximum SO2 holding capacity of 728±42 µmol/filter. Ion (i.e., SO4
= and K+) and pH analysis were performed on a selection of filters from both stacks to check if these filters were saturated with SO2 during stack sampling. Table 3-2 shows [K+], [SO4
=], and pH value of these several filters. The four filters from Stack A showed [K+]/[SO4
=] ratio of 1.9–2.3 and pH of 3–6, indicating that the K2CO3 was totally consumed and SO2 concentrations were underestimated. On the other hand, the two filters from Stack B showed [K+]/[SO4
=] ratio>10 and pH of 11, indicating that these filters were not saturated. In fact, the SO2 concentration from Stack B was so low that it was below the Testo emission analyzer detection limit (1 ppm) during 7 out of 14 runs. Figure 3-9b shows that the SO2 analyzer measured ~10.7 ppm SO2 from Stack A and there was little variability from run to run even when the dilution ratio changed by a factor of ~2 among these runs. This indicates that the Ecotech SO2 analyzer was also saturated in these runs since it is specified to measure a maximum concentration of 20 ppm (Table 2-1). The SO2 analyzer had good correlation with filter measurement (R2=0.92) for Stack B, although its values were only ~64% of the filter. Since both the filter and SO2 analyzer were saturated for Stack A, data from the emission analyzer were used for ER calculation. For Stack B, SO2 concentrations were below the emission analyzer detection limit, and the filter data were more reliable than the SO2 analyzer; therefore, filter data was used for SO2 ER calculation.
Particle sizing accuracy of the TSI DustTrak DRX and Grimm OPC were checked with polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres, the material used by manufacturers to calibrate these instruments. Monodisperse dry PSL powders with nominal diameters of 1.0, 3.0, 4.6, 6.9, and 10 µm were dispersed into the instruments under a HEPA filter laminar flow hood. Particle size distributions are shown in Figure 3-10. Although the size distributions spread into several channels, the peak sizes detected by the DustTrak DRX were in reasonable agreement with the nominal PSL size. The Grimm OPC also correctly identified the peak size. However, there were secondary peaks in the 2−3 µm range, possibly due to: 1) resuspension of 2−3 µm particles that were deposited in the flow path, and 2) incorrect sizing due to scattering resonance. Repeated experiments with larger particles (>3 µm) showed that there were always smaller phantom particles in the 0.3−3 µm range detected by the OPC but not by a collocated DustTrak DRX or an optical particle sizer (OPS; TSI Model 3330). Although these particles affect the number distribution, they do not significantly affect mass distribution due to their smaller sizes.
Figure 3-11 compares the PM2.5 concentrations measured by: a) DustTrak DRX and b) OPC to those from Teflon®-membrane filter by gravimetry. Good correlations (R2>0.94) between gravimetric and OPC PM2.5 were observed for the cold dilution sampling conditions at both stacks. However, correlations for other conditions were moderate to poor. Since the major particle composition (i.e., H2SO4 or (NH4)2SO4) from the stacks were hygroscopic, the mass concentration measured by optical methods depends on the RH. The RH under cold dilution was nearly 100% and so contained liquid water comparable to that of the gravimetric mass. It is not clear why the Grimm OPC had better correlation with gravimetry than the DustTrak DRX. Under warm dilution conditions, the diluted sample had a variable RH which might have led to variable ratio of gravimetric to optical mass. The ratio of gravimetric to optical PM2.5 from each run was used to scale the optical PM concentrations.
The DustTrak DRX is calibrated for particle size and mass concentration using Arizona road dust (ARD; density 2.65 g/cm3) (Vlasenko et al., 2005). Under the filter equilibration conditions (21.5 ± 1.5 °C and 35 ± 5% RH), the densities of H2SO4 and (NH4)2SO4 particles are

1.35 and 1.77 g/cm3, respectively. The DustTrak DRX would overestimate gravimetric PM2.5 concentration approximately by the ratio of densities of ARD to the particle being measured (Wang et al., 2009): i.e., 1.96 and 1.50 for H2SO4 and (NH4)2SO4, respectively.
Thermodynamic calculations (Clegg et al., 1998) show that a 1 µm-diameter H2SO4 particle at 35% RH (H2SO4•5.48 H2O) will grow to ~ 1.51 µm at 90% RH (H2SO4•25 H2O) and 2.95 µm at 99% RH (H2SO4•199 H2O). Although the particle refractive index (RI) will drop from 1.395 at 35% RH to 1.355 at 90% RH and 1.336 at 99% RH, the light scattering by the particle is expected to increase with RH due to particle growth (Malm et al., 1994; Tang, 1996), and the DustTrak DRX is expected to overestimate the PM2.5 concentration. However, Figure 3-11a shows that slope for Stack A is ~0.24, indicating that the DustTrak DRX detected less scattered light for these particles than expected. The reason is not clear. For Stack B, the (NH4)2SO4 particles will deliquescent at RH>80%. A 1 µm dry (NH4)2SO4 particle will grow to 1.47 µm at 80% RH, 1.74 µm at 90% RH, and 3.75 µm at 99% RH. It is expected that the DRX would overestimate mass concentration for (NH4)2SO4 particles, which qualitatively agrees with the higher slope (3.5) for Stack B as shown in Figure 3-11a. Figure 3-11b shows a low slope between the OPC and gravimetric PM2.5 (0.025 and 0.044 for Stacks A and B, respectively). The OPC data was logged in count mode, and mass concentration was calculated by assuming spherical particles with a density of 1.77 g/cm3. If all particles were counted and sized correctly, the OPC would overestimate PM2.5.
Figures 3-12a and 3-12b show the mass distribution measured by the OPC, and the corresponding cumulative mass distributions are shown in Figure 3-13. The observations are:
• The total concentrations in winter were 4.3 and 17 times higher than those in summer for Stacks A and B, respectively.
• For Stack A, the summer and winter mass distributions were bimodal, peaking at 0.5–0.9 µm for the submicron mode and 1.5–5 µm for the supermicron mode; for Stack B, the summer mass distribution was bimodal with peaks at 0.6 µm and ~2 µm, but the winter distributions had only one peak with mode diameter at ~2.5 µm (Figure 3-12b).
• Cold dilution showed slightly higher concentrations than warm dilution. However, the differences in mass distribution were insignificant.
• For Stack A, the mass distributions in summer and winter were similar (Figures 3-12a and 3-13a). The mass median diameters (MMDs) were 1.1 µm and 1.3 µm for summer and winter, respectively. In summer, it had 45% mass in PM1, ~28% in PM1-2.5, and ~27% in PM2.5-10; in winter, it had 40% mass in PM1, ~25% in PM1-2.5, and ~35% in PM2.5-10.
• For Stack B, the mass distributions in summer and winter were different (Figures 3-12b and Figure 3-13b). The MMDs were 0.7 µm and 2.0 µm for summer and winter, respectively. In summer ~60% mass was in PM1, ~20% in PM1-2.5, and ~20% in PM2.5-10; in winter, ~20% was in PM1, ~40% was in PM1-2.5, and ~40% was in PM2.5-10. Figure 3-14 shows the size segregated mass fractions measured by the DustTrak DRX
and OPC. The DRX showed >98% of mass in PM1 size fraction, while the OPC sizes were distributed among size fractions of <1 µm, 1–2.5 µm, and 2.5–10 µm. The ERs of size segregated PM from both instruments are reported.

Figure 3-15 compares: a) BC from the AE51 with BC from the AE52 (λ=880 nm), and b) UVC (λ=370 nm) with BC (λ=880 nm) from the AE52. The AE51 and AE52 gave similar BC values (λ=880 nm). The correlation is only moderate (R2=0.77), probably due to the different averaging times (AE51: 1 s; AE52: 10 s) and sample flow rates (AE51: 50 cm3/min; AE52: 100 cm3/min). The AE51 pump was not stable during this study. The UVC and BC by AE52 had high correlation (R2=0.96) with a linear regression slope of 0.86. The average Ångström absorption exponent (AAE) is estimated to be 0.83 from the following equation:
𝐴𝑇𝑁370𝑛𝑚𝐴𝑇𝑁880𝑛𝑚
= �370880�−𝐴𝐴𝐸
= 𝑈𝑉𝐶𝐵𝐶
× 880370
, (3-1)
where ATN is the attenuation at a given wavelength (370 or 880 nm). The fact that AAE of the stack PM is less than one as assumed in the aethalometer algorithm (Hansen, 2005) indicates that light-absorbing particles behaved like BC and there was negligible UV-absorbing brown carbon (Moosmüller et al., 2011). Due to the close agreement between the AE51 and AE52, the AE52 UVC and BC were used for emission rates.
Figure 3-16 compares EC measured by thermal/optical reflectance (TOR) carbon analysis (Chow et al., 1993; Chow et al., 2007a) with: a) babs on Teflon®-membrane filter by densitometer (Chow et al., 2010) and b) BC by AE52. No clear correlation is found between these measurements, which may be caused by the low values of babs, EC, and BC, as well as the matrix effects of non-light-absorbing H2SO4 and (NH4)2SO4 particles.

4 Pollutant Concentrations and Emission Rates 4.1 Emission Rate Calculation
ERs from stationary sources are expressed in mass emitted per unit of time or in mass of pollutant per mass of dry or wet air emitted by the stack. The time-based ERs are calculated from species concentrations, average stack velocity, and stack diameter as:

Stk

TCSAVC3600ERPP
i ×××××= (4-1)
where: i = pollutant i, ERi = emission rate of pollutant i in µg/hr, Ci = wet basis stack concentration of the pollutant i in µg/m3 under standard
temperature (Tstd = 293.15 Kelvin [K]; 25 °C) and pressure (Pstd = 101,325 pascal [Pa]) conditions,
VStk = average stack velocity in m/s, CSA = stack cross section area in m2, TStk and PStk = stack temperature in K and stack pressure in Pa, respectively.
For pollutants measured after dilution, the measured concentrations (Ci,Dil in µg/m3) need
to be corrected by the dilution ratio (DR): DRCC Dili,i ×= . (4-2)
The DR is calculated using measured undiluted, diluted, and background CO2 concentrations by:

where: CO2,Stk = undiluted CO2 stack concentration in ppm, CO2,Dil = diluted CO2 concentration in ppm, CO2,Bkg = background CO2 concentration in ppm in the dilution flow.
The average stack velocity (VStk) is determined following U.S. EPA Method 2 (2011):

based on previous measurements of flue gas composition from Stack A) PStk = absolute stack pressure in mm mercury (mmHg)

4.2 Data Reduction The following steps were taken to analyze the real-time data:
1. Raw data files were unified in an Excel worksheet. 2. Average stack velocities (VStk) were calculated from Pitot tube differential pressures
using Eq. 4-4. Average stack velocity, flow rate under standard conditions (298.15 °K or 25 °C and 101,325 Pa), and stack temperature for the five tests conducted in 2008 and 2011 are listed in Table 4-1. Flow rates had a 30% and 62% increase from summer to winter for Stacks A and B, respectively, while stack temperature dropped by 7% and 6%, respectively.
3. Raw data were interpolated to 1 s time intervals, and DRs were calculated using Eq. 4-3. 4. Measured pollutant concentrations (Ci,Dil) were multiplied by DR, and PM concentrations
in particle/cm3 and mg/m3 under dilution chamber conditions were converted to standard conditions.
5. Real-time concentrations were averaged to obtain test-average concentrations. 6. ERs were calculated using Eq. 4-1.
In ER calculations, species with concentrations below MDLs were replaced by 3 times the analytical uncertainty and used for calculating the average concentrations and emission rates. If the species was below MDL during any of the runs at each sampling condition, the average value was flagged by the “<” sign. In source profile calculations, species with concentrations below MDLs were set to zero, and the uncertainty value takes the larger of standard deviation and uncertainty of average of multiple runs.
4.3 NMHC and Carbonyl Concentrations and Emission Rates Figure 4-1 shows the sum of identified NMHCs from the canister analyses. The system
blanks collected dilution air only. Although the dilution air was filtered with an activated charcoal capsule (Figure 2-1), some NMHC remained in the diluted air. Except for the two warm runs (i.e., W1 and W6) from Stack B, both warm and cold runs had similar amounts of NMHC as the blank samples. Therefore, the stack NMHC concentration was probably comparable to ambient air. This was indirectly confirmed by the PID analyzer measurement, which showed near zero concentrations throughout this study. It was not possible to discern if the measured species were from dilution air or ambient air entering the stack. It is not clear why the runs W1 and W6 in Stack B yielded higher concentrations than the other samples. The total NMHC from these two samples were still relative low (<750 µg/m3), in the same range of some runs of the Stack A in Figure 4-1a.
Tables 4-2a and 4-2b list the blank-subtracted stack concentration (in µg/m3) and ERs (in kg/hr) for the 55 photochemical assessment monitoring station (PAMS) compounds and other identified NMHC species for Stacks A and B, respectively. Dilutions with cold and warm air, as well as the average of all runs from each stack, are listed. The five species with highest ERs (in descending order) were: ethene (1.3±1.2 kg/hr), propene (1.0±0.9 kg/hr), propane (0.6±0.5 kg/hr), ethane (0.4±0.2 kg/hr), and n-heptane (0.4±0.2 kg/hr) for Stack A, and n-pentane (1.0±0.8 kg/hr), iso-pentane (0.9±0.7 kg/hr), n-butane (0.8±0.7 kg/hr), iso-butane (0.4±0.3 kg/hr), and toluene (0.2±0.2 kg/hr) for Stack B. ERs for the sum of NMHC were 6.2±3.0 kg/hr and 5.3 ±3.4 kg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively.

Tables 4-3a and 4-3b list the blank-subtracted stack concentration (in µg/m3) and ERs (in kg/hr) for halocarbons for Stacks A and B, respectively. Similar to the NMHC, the stack and background concentrations were similar. Species with highest ERs are bromodichloromethane (0.09 kg/hr), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (0.04 kg/hr), and chloroform (0.02 kg/hr) for Stack A; and dichloromethane (0.03 kg/hr), tetrachloroethene (0.02 kg/hr), and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (0.02 kg/hr) for Stack B. ERs of the sum of halocarbons were 0.22 kg/hr and 0.11 kg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively.
Figures 4-2a and 4-2b plot carbonyl concentrations from each test for Stacks A and B, respectively. For Stack A, stack concentrations (except sample C1, which is deemed an outlier) were all significantly higher than the blank concentration, while for Stack B, stack concentrations were in the same range as the blank concentration for about 50% of the samples. Tables 4-4a and 4-4b list the blank-subtracted stack concentrations and ERs of the 14 carbonyls for Stacks A and B, respectively. The three carbonyls with the highest ERs were acetone (5.5 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (1.9 kg/hr), and formaldehyde (0.4 kg/hr) for Stack A, and acetone (0.12 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (0.06 kg/hr), and propionaldehyde (0.01 kg/hr) for Stack B.
4.4 Stack Concentrations and Emission Rates of Inorganic Gases and PM Tables 4-5a and 4-5b summarize the average inorganic gas and PM concentrations and
ERs from Stacks A and B, respectively, under cold and warm dilution conditions for March 2011 with data from August 2008 included for comparison. ERs from cold and warm dilutions in 2011 sampling are plotted in Figure 4-3, and ERs from August 2008 (summer) and March 2011 (winter) are plotted in Figure 4-4.
Among all pollutants, CO2 had the highest ERs: (4.99±0.06)×105 kg/hr and (2.61±0.05)×105 kg/hr for Stack A in winter 2011 and summer 2008, respectively, and (2.62±0.02)×105 kg/hr and (1.77±0.02)×105 kg/hr for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. Winter ER is 91% and 48% higher than summer for Stacks A and B, respectively. CH4, an extremely potent GHG, had relatively low ERs: 6.4±1.9 kg/hr and 5.8±2.3 kg/hr for Stacks A and B (in winter), respectively. CO had ERs of 301±47 kg/hr and 1599±54 kg/hr for Stack A in winter and summer, respectively, and 87±7 kg/hr and 982±45 kg/hr for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. NO had ERs of 1072±37 kg/hr and 295±11 kg/hr for Stack A in winter and summer, respectively, and 271±6 kg/hr and 133±2 kg/hr for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. SO2 had ERs of 9344±331 kg/hr and >1050 kg/hr for Stack A in winter and summer, respectively, and 639±98 kg/hr and 727±132 kg/hr for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. PM2.5 (OPC) had ERs of 231±13 kg/hr and 49±5 kg/hr for Stack A in winter and summer, respectively, and 128±7 kg/hr and 8.0±0.3 kg/hr for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. The differences in ERs between cold and warm dilution are not significant for most species. The t values of the Student t-test were > 0.16 for all species from Stack A. Small t values were observed from Stack B for NO2 (t = 0.03), PM1_OPC (t = 0.05), and SO2 (t = 0.02), with NO2 and SO2 from warm dilution being approximately twice of those from cold dilution.
Generally higher ERs were found in March 2011 than August 2008 for all criteria air contaminants (CACs). For Stack A, the ER of CO in March 2011 was ~20% of that in August 2008, and gaseous NH3 was below detection limits in 2011 but was 16.6 kg/hr in 2008. ERs of other species were higher in 2011 than 2008 with 2011/2008 ratios of 1.9 for CO2, 3.7 for NOx, 8.9 for SO2, 5.7 for H2S, and ~5 for PM.

The low level of NH3 in March 2011 resulted in non-neutralized sulfate being released as H2SO4 droplets. For Stack A, the coker feed rates had an 8% drop from the 2008 to 2011 test periods. Therefore, the increased ERs are not due to larger feed rates. For Stack B, the CO ER for March, 2011 was ~10% of that measured during August, 2008, and NH3 in March, 2011 was only ~4% of that for the August, 2008 tests. SO2 in March was similar (~90% on average) to that of August, and H2S was near detection limits in both 2011 and 2008. ERs of other species were higher in March with 2011/2008 ratios of 1.5 for CO2, 2.3 for NOx, and 15.9 for PM. For Stack B, the coker feed rates increased by 16% from the 2008 to 2011 tests. The increases in CO2, NOx, and PM are higher than the feed increase. Therefore, other factors, such as stack operating conditions, feed from the sulfur recovery units and sour water plant, and season of measurement may have been responsible for these differences. The ~10% reduction in SO2 emission is probably due to higher SO2 removal efficiency in 2011 (93.6%) than during 2008 (82%).
Table 4-6 and Figure 4-5 compare the NOx, SO2, and PM ERs measured from dilution sampling in August, 2008 and March, 2011, compliance tests in 2007, and emission limits for Stacks A and B from Alberta Environment. TPM25 measured by the OPC is used to estimate TSP. As noted above, much of the TSP is in smaller size fractions, which is expected of process emissions having passed through ESP particle removal. Alberta Method 7A (Alberta Environment, 1995) used to determine NOx compliance oxidizes NOx to nitrate and reports NOx in term of NO2. To be comparable with the compliance NOx, NOx from dilution sampling is also expressed as NO2 by: NOx=NO×46/30+NO2.
For Stack A, the NOx, SO2, and PM25 ERs from dilution sampling in August, 2008 were 52%, >12%, and 18%, respectively, of those from compliance tests. NOx and SO2 ERs from March, 2011 sampling were 90% and 6% higher than those from compliance tests, while PM25 was 6% lower than TSP. For Stack B, NOx from the August, 2008 dilution test was 45% higher than from compliance test, and the August, 2008 SO2 ERs were similar to those of compliance tests. The NOx ER from March, 2011 was 3.2 times of that from compliance tests, while the SO2 ER was 14% lower. The PM25 ER from August, 2008 was only ~3% of the TSP or 21% of the filterable PM from compliance tests, which does not include the condensable PM fraction collected by impingers. The PM25 ER for March, 2011 was 4.5 times the filterable PM, and 39% lower than the sum of filterable and condensable PM measured from the hot filter and impinger catch.
Given that ERs differ from test to test owing to feedstock and operational variability and the test methods are different, the dilution test results can be considered comparable to the compliance tests, although a side-by-side comparison of these two methods is still needed to evaluate their differences. It appears that the hot front filter in the compliance tests reasonably represents the PM emission rates, and that adding the backup impinger catch would overestimate these emissions, similar to the situation found in prior comparison studies (Corio and Sherwell, 2000; England et al., 2000; Richards et al., 2005).
Table 4-7 compares particle size distributions measured from a 2002 in-stack test of Stack A with the August, 2008 and March, 2011 results from dilution sampling. The in-stack sampling method was adapted from U.S. EPA (2010a) Method 201A by adding PM10 and PM2.5 in-stack cyclones to the end of the stack probe. The condensable fraction captured in the impingers was not added to the hot-filter mass measurements. The PM2.5 ERs from 2008 and 2011 dilution sampling were 2.7 and 12.8 times that from this in-stack testing, consistent with an expectation for PM condensation, but at odds with the compliance test comparison.

4.5 PM Chemical Concentrations and Emission Rates Tables 4-8a and 4-8b list stack concentrations and ERs for PM2.5 constituents (soluble
ions, carbon fractions, and elements) from Stacks A and B, respectively for March, 2011 and August, 2008. Soluble SO4
= had the highest concentration and ER of all PM2.5 constituents for both stacks, accounting for 40-73% of the PM2.5 emissions. Stack A recorded higher SO4
= and lower NH4
+ ERs in March, 2011 than in August, 2008, consistent with the presence of H2SO4 discussed earlier. The SO4
= ER in 2011 was ~6 times of that in 2008, while the NH4+ ER in 2011
was 23% of that in 2008. For Stack B, the SO4= ER in 2011 was ~20 times of that in 2008 and
NH4+ ER in 2011 was ~17 times of that in 2008. PM2.5 from both stacks contained Al, S, and Fe,
while most other elements were near or below detection limits. Dilution with cold or warm air did not result in statistically significant differences in concentrations and ERs.
Stack concentrations and ERs for PM2.5 Cs, Ba, rare earth elements, and Pb measured by ICP/MS are listed in Tables 4-9a and 4-9b for Stacks A and B, respectively. ERs for these elements are all <5 g/hr. For Stack A, Ce, La, and Nd are the three rare earth elements that have the highest ERs both in March, 2011 and August, 2008. ERs in 2011 were 30-60% of those in 2008. For Stack B, most elements were near or below detection limits.
Tables 4-10a and 4-10b list stack concentrations and ERs for 113 PM non-polar organic carbon compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. These organic compounds are grouped into nine categories (i.e., PAHs, n-alkanes, iso- and anteiso-alkanes, hopanes, steranes, methyl-alkanes, branched alkanes, cyclo-alkanes, and alkenes). Retene had the dominant ER (1299.3±451.0 g/hr) among all species in Stack A in winter, which accounted for 95% of all measured non-polar species, and caused the total measured non-polar species in winter to be ~100 times the levels measured during the summer 2008 tests. ERs for PM2.5 non-polar organic species were low in Stack B, with comparable winter and summer ERs.
Tables 4-11a and 4-11b list the stack concentrations and ERs for PM2.5 carbohydrates, organics, three WSOC classes (i.e., neutral, mono-/di-carboxylic acids, and polycarboxylic acids including humic-like substances (HULIS)), total WSOC for Stacks A and B, respectively. For Stack A, glycerol (136.8±38.8 g/hr) was the only carbohydrate that was above detection limits in March, 2011, while all carbohydrates were below detection limits in August, 2008. In terms of organic acids, Stack A had higher ERs for succinic acid (251.4±31.5 g/hr), lactic acid (84.7±13.9 g/hr), and glutaric acid (75.5±12.4 g/hr) in March, 2011, and methanesulfonic acid (95.1±5.4 g/hr) in August, 2008. Neutral compounds was the most abundant WSOC class measured, and Stack A had higher WSOC ERs in 20122 (3951±584 g/hr) than in 2008 (<666 g/hr). For Stack B, the only carbohydrate that was above MDL was also glycerol in 2011 (32.3±6.0 g/hr). Organic acids with the highest ERs were lactic acid (56.8±3.6 g/hr) and acetic acid (52.9±7.6 g/hr) in 2011 and all organic acids were below MDL in 2008. WSOC ERs in 2011 (525.5±48.7 g/hr) were 8 times of that in 2008 (66.3±12.6 g/hr).
Tables 4-12a and 4-12b list the stack concentrations and ERs for nitro-PAHs in PM2.5 collected in 2011. Most nitro-PAHs ERs were below detection limits except 9-nitroanthracene in Stack A (50.6±19.9 mg/hr).

4.6 Stack Concentrations and Emission Rates of Hg Species Tables 4-13a and 4-13b list the stack concentrations and ERs for Hg collected on KCl-
impregnated filters and gold-coated quartz traps from Stacks A and B, respectively. There were variations from run to run, especially for Hg collected on the quartz trap. Assuming that the Hg collected on the filter was all RGM+PHg and that collected on the quartz trap was all GEM, the emission rates of RGM+PHg and GEM were 1.94±0.47 mg/hr and 15.86±8.40 mg/hr for Stack A, and 0.51±0.07 mg/hr and 13.21±3.15 mg/hr for Stack B, respectively. The total Hg emissions were 17.80±8.41 mg/hr and 13.73±3.15 mg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively. Therefore, GEM accounted to approximately 89% and 96% of total Hg for Stacks A and B. Assuming these ERs are representative to average ER throughout a year, the yearly ERs from Stacks A and B are 0.16 kg/yr and 0.12 kg/yr, respectively. Facility A reported 20.587 kg/yr Hg emissions from stationary sources to Environment Canada (2011b) for 2009, much higher than the estimate from the dilution tests.

5 Source Profiles This section reports chemical source profiles for gases and PM2.5. To be consistent with
most profiles in the U.S. EPA (2008b) SPECIATE database, concentrations for NMHC and halocarbon compounds are reported in ppbC and normalized to the sum of 55 PAMS compounds (Watson et al., 2001). PM2.5 components are normalized to gravimetric PM2.5 mass. PM2.5 organic constituents are also normalized to total OC. Carbonyl compounds are normalized to both the sum of 55 PAMS compounds and the sum of the 14 measured carbonyls. These profiles can be used to develop speciated emission inventories (Chow et al., 2011), serve as model input for the effective variance (EV) solution to the chemical mass balance (CMB) source apportionment model (Watson, 1984; Watson et al., 1991; Watson et al., 2001; Watson et al., 2002; Watson et al., 2008; Watson and Chow, 2004; Watson and Chow, 2005; Watson and Chow, 2007), and to associate source types with the source factors derived from the positive matrix factorization (PMF) and UNMIX solutions to the CMB model (Chen et al., 2011; Watson et al., 2008).
5.1 NMHC Source Profiles NMHC (C2-C11) profiles from Stacks A and B under 2011 cold and warm dilution
conditions as well as the grand average of each stack are presented in Table 5-1. The five most abundant species in Stack A were: ethene, ethane, propane, propylene, and n-butane, and the five most abundant species in Stack B were: trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, n-nonane, cyclohexane, and benzene. Identified NMHCs are grouped into four categories: alkanes and cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes (only acetylene was detected), and aromatics and are plotted in Figure 5-1. Alkanes and cycloalkanes were the most abundant groups, accounting for 62% and 47% of PAMS for Stacks A and B, respectively. Alkenes accounted for 42% and 38% of PAMS for Stacks A and B, respectively. Aromatics accounted for ~6% and 26% of PAMS for Stacks A and B, respectively. Acetylene abundances from both stacks were low (<2%). The differences between cold and warm dilution were not important. Source profiles for species with average abundances >1% for at least one of two stacks are shown in Figure 5-2. Most species are lower than uncertainties.
Table 5-2 lists halocarbon abundances normalized to the sum of 55 PAMS compounds for Stacks A and B. Abundances of all halocarbons were low: the sum of all halocarbons was only 2.9% and 8.4% of the sum of PAMS compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. Chloroform and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane were the most abundant halocarbons in Stack A, while dichloromethane and trichloroethene were the most abundant halocarbons in Stack B.
Table 5-3 lists carbonyl abundances normalized to the sum of 55 PAMS compounds and the sum of 14 quantified carbonyls, respectively. Acetone and acetaldehyde are the most abundant species, accounting for 67% and 20% of total carbonyls for Stack A, and 71% and 24% for Stack B, respectively.
5.2 Inorganic Gases and PM2.5 Source Profiles Inorganic gases and PM2.5 source profiles are normalized to the gravimetric PM2.5 mass
measured from the Teflon®-membrane filter. PM2.5 organic constituents are also normalized to total OC mass from thermal/optical reflectance (TOR) carbon analysis (Chow et al., 1993; 2007a) of the quartz-fiber filters (Chow et al., 2007b; 2007c).

Table 5-1. Source profiles for non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) normalized by the sum of 55 photochemical assessment monitoring station (PAMS) compounds. The most abundant five species are highlighted in green for Stack A and in yellow for Stack B. (Data were averaged for six runs of cold and warm dilutions from Stack A, six runs of cold dilution and eight runs of warm dilution from Stack B. Data are reported as average ± uncertainty, where the uncertainty is the larger of standard deviation and uncertainty of average of multiple runsa).

Average inorganic gas and PM2.5 chemical abundances (% of PM2.5 mass) for Stacks A and B under cold and warm dilution conditions in 2011 are summarized in Table 5-4. Abundances measured in 2008 are also listed for comparison. For Stack A, NH3 was below the detection limit (1.5 µg/filter) for all runs in March, 2011. In contrast, NH3 was 34% of PM2.5 mass in August, 2008. For Stack B, both NH3 and SO2 were more abundant in summer (1025% and 9205% of PM2.5, respectively) than winter (3.1% and 429% of PM2.5, respectively). The H2S concentration was <0.1% of PM2.5.
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 compare the most abundant (>0.1% of PM2.5 in August, 2008 or March, 2011 tests at either stack) chemical components for Stacks A and B, respectively. Figure 5-5 shows the PM2.5 abundances for: 1) geological materials (including Al2O3, SiO2, CaO, Fe2O3, and TiO2 estimated from XRF measurements of Al, Si, Ca, Fe, and Ti respectively) (Malm et al., 1994); 2) organics (= OC × 1.2); 3) elemental carbon (EC); 4) NH4
+; 5) SO4=; 6)
other water-soluble ions (Cl-, NO2-, NO3
-, PO4≡, Na+, Mg++, K+, and Ca++); 7) other elements (all
elements measured by XRF in Table 5-4 from P to U, excluding S, Ca, Fe, and Ti); and 8) unidentified species. Soluble SO4
= is the most abundant species for all test conditions, contributing 39.2 %, 67.9 %, and 49.7% to PM2.5 mass for Stacks A, B, and C in 2008, respectively, and 47.6% and 72.7% for Stacks A and B in 2011, respectively. Note that the 2008 and 2011 PM2.5 profiles differ for Stack A. From August, 2008 to March, 2011, NH4
+ dropped from 15.1% to 0.9%, EC dropped from 7.2% to 0.6%, geological elements dropped from 21.7% to 3.4%, while unidentified mass increased from 6.1% to 39.7%. As discussed in Section 3.1, (NH4)2SO4 was the major composition of PM2.5 in Stack A for the 2008 tests, while H2SO4 in droplets was the major component during the 2011 tests.
From ion balance, it is estimated that (NH4)2SO4 was 53.9% of PM2.5 in 2008 and H2SO4 was 46.0% of PM2.5 in 2011. Assuming the unbalanced SO4
= was in the thermodynamic equilibrium form of H2SO4•5.48 H2O under the filter-conditioning laboratory conditions (21.5 ± 1.5 °C and 35 ± 5% RH), particle-bound water would have a mass of 1.03×[SO4
=], which is 46.3% of PM2.5. Therefore, the 39.7% unidentified mass in Figure 5-5b is likely particle-bound water, and the H2SO4•5.48 H2O composition accounted for 92.4% of PM2.5. Under the same assumption, H2SO4 was 47.8% of PM2.5 from Stack C in 2008, and particle-bound water accounts for 48.1% of PM2.5. The sum of H2SO4 and H2O was 95.9 % of PM2.5, which closes the mass balance in Figure 5-5e. Figure 5-6 shows fractions after accounting for particle-bound water for a) Stack A in 2011 and b) Stack C in 2008. The material balance slightly exceeds 100% of gravimetric mass (107% and 105% for Stacks A and C, respectively), which is within the uncertainty of the measurement system. The 2008 profile for Stack B is similar to that for 2011, with (NH4)2SO4 being the major component, accounting for 91.3% of PM2.5.
Trace element abundances are low (typically < 0.1%). Stack A PM2.5 contained Al, Si, S, and Fe for the 2008 and 2011 samples. Stack B also contained Al, S, and Fe. Si was more abundant in the 2008 tests, but it was not detected for the 2011 tests for Stack B.
Total carbon (TC; sum of OC and EC) constitutes 6.9% and 12.9% of PM2.5 from Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively and 1.2% and 6.9% for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Figure 5-7 shows variable abundances for thermal carbon fractions between the 2011 and 2008 samples from Stacks A and B. For Stack A in 2011, most carbon was in the OP and EC1 fractions, while most carbon was in the OC1, OC2, and EC1 fractions in 2008. For Stack B in 2011, most of the carbon was in the OC1 and OC2 fractions, while in 2008, most carbon was in the OC2 and EC1 fractions. Overall, the TC abundance was lower in 2011 than in 2008.

Figure 5-8 shows PM2.5 source profiles from oil extraction and refining emissions acquired in other studies (i.e., a gas-fired boiler, fluidized catalytic cracking unit [FCCU], and a process heater) (API, 2002; England et al., 2001a; England, 2004). The gas-fired boiler and the process heater used refinery process gas and were not equipped with NOx, SO2 or PM air pollution controls. The catalytic cracker was equipped with a CO heater fired by refinery process gas and an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). The gas-fired boiler profile shows SO4
= being the most abundant (20%) component, followed by EC (10%), NH4
+ (9%), S (6%), and OC (5%). The FCCU source profile is dominated by SO4
= (91%), followed by Si (6%) and Al (3.6%), with TC constituting <1%. The NH4
+ abundance is only 0.8%, which does not balance the high SO4=,
indicating that particles are acidic. Furthermore, S (1.2%) is much lower than SO4=, indicating
evaporation of SO4= during the vacuum of XRF elemental analysis. This profile is similar to the
winter 2011 Stack A profile (Figure 5-3a) for major components. The process heater source profile is dominated by OC (35%) and EC (27%), with SO4
= constituting only ~4%. Abundances of Cs, Ba, rare earth elements, and Pb (measured by ICP/MS) are listed in
Table 5-5. All these elements contribute <0.01% to PM2.5, but they are often useful markers that distinguish among different emission sources. Abundances of the stable Pb isotopes (normalized to the sum of all isotopes) measured by the ICP/MS are plotted in Figure 5-9, along with their natural abundances (Lide, 1993). The differences between stack and natural abundances are summarized in Table 5-6. The abundance of 204Pb from Stack B in 2011 was 23.4% higher than the natural abundance, and other samples agree with natural abundances within 10%. For Stack A, 2011 samples have 2-5% higher abundances in 204Pb and 208Pb and 1-3% lower abundances in 206Pb and 207Pb than 2008 samples. For Stack B, 2011 samples have 30% and 3% higher abundance in 204Pb and 208Pb, respectively, and 3-5% lower abundances in 206Pb and 207Pb than 2008 samples. Figure 5-10 shows Pb isotope ratios. Note that both Stacks A and B have higher 208Pb /207Pb ratios in March, 2011 than during August, 2008. Stack B also has higher 204Pb /207Pb ratios in 2011.
Table 5-7 lists abundances for 113 non-polar organic compounds normalized to PM2.5 and OC for Stacks A and B, respectively. There were large variabilities in non-polar compound abundances among different runs. For Stack A, the sum of non-polar compounds accounts for 0.558±0.622% and 0.029±0.016% of PM2.5, and 14.3±16.6% and 0.52±0.18% of OC in 2011 and 2008, respectively. For Stack B, the sum of non-polar compounds accounts for 0.002±0.004% and 0.038±0.009% of PM2.5, and 0.273±0.729% and 0.839±0.293% of OC in 2011 and 2008, respectively. For Stack A, retene was the most abundant species in 2011, accounting for 95% of the sum of quantified non-polar compounds; while n-alkanes was the most abundant category in 2008, accounting for 68% of non-polar compounds. For Stack B, branched alkanes and n-alkanes are the most abundant categories, accounting for 31% and 75% of measured non-polar compounds from Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Figures 5-11a and 5-11b plot the source profile of the most abundant (>0.0003% of PM2.5) non-polar compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. For Stack A, 2011 OC has higher PAH abundances, especially retene (13.7% of OC in winter) and cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (0.19% of OC in winter) as compared to <0.002% of OC in summer. On the other hand, 2008 samples had higher abundances for other categories, especially n-alkanes. For Stack B, winter sample also had more abundance in retene (0.035% of OC) than summer (0.008% of OC). Winter samples also had more pristine and phytane, while summer samples had higher abundances for most of the other compounds.

Tables 5-8a and 5-8b list abundances for carbohydrates, organic acids and WSOC for Stacks A and B, respectively. For Stack A, the most abundant carbohydrates were glycerol (1.36% of OC) in winter 2011 and xylitol (0.36% of OC) in summer 2008. The most abundant organic acids were succinic acid (2.01% of OC) in 2011 and methanesulfonic acid (4.33% of OC) in 2008. WSOC accounted for 29.8% of OC in 2011 but only 0.26% in 2008. For Stack B, glycerol was the only carbohydrates above the MDL, accounting for 3.71% and 0.04% of OC in 2011 and 2008, respectively. The most abundant organic acids were lactic acid (7.16% of OC) and acetic acid (6.91% of OC) in 2011 and methanesulfonic acid (7.92% of OC) in 2008. WSOC was 60.2% and 16.8% of OC in winter and summer, respectively.
Tables 5-9a and 5-9b list the abundances for nitro-PAHs and their abundance were <0.0005% of OC for Stacks A and B, respectively. For Stack A, the most abundant nitro-PAHs were 9-nitroanthracene, 2-nitroanthracene, and 4-nitropyrene; for Stack B, the most abundant species were 2-nitrobiphenyl, 2-nitrofluorene, and 2,7-dinitrofluorene.

6 Summary of Major Findings A dilution sampling and measurement system was deployed to measure emissions from
two stacks (Stacks A and B) in an Athabasca oil sands facility (Facility A) in March, 2011. Emissions from these two stacks were measured in August, 2008 by a similar dilution system.
Stack velocity was measured by a type-S pitot tube. Gases (i.e., total VOCs, CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and SO2), particle number concentration, and size-segregated mass concentrations including PM2.5 and PM10, BC, and UVC were measured in real time. CH4, NMHC, halocarbons, carbonyls, NH3, H2S, SO2, total Hg, PM2.5 mass, light transmission (babs), elements, isotopes, ions, carbon fractions, water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), carbohydrates, organic acids, and speciated organic compounds were taken on canisters, DNPH cartridges, and gas- and particle-absorbing filters. Emission rates and chemical source profiles were derived from these measurements.
NMHC species with the highest ERs were ethene, propene, propane, ethane, and n-heptane for Stack A, and n-pentane, iso-pentane, n-butane, iso-butane, and toluene for Stack B. Stack A had higher carbonyl concentrations than ambient levels, and the three carbonyls with the highest ERs were acetone (5.5 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (1.9 kg/hr), and formaldehyde (0.4 kg/hr). Carbonyl concentrations in Stack B were similar to ambient levels, and the three species with the highest ERs were acetone (0.12 kg/hr), acetaldehyde (0.06 kg/hr), and propionaldehyde (0.01 kg/hr).
Among the GHGs, CO2 had the highest ERs: (4.99±0.06)×105 kg/hr and (2.61±0.05)×105 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and (2.62±0.02)×105 kg/hr and (1.77±0.02)×105 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Winter 2011 CO2 ERs were 1.9 and 1.5 times those of summer 2008 ERs for Stacks A and B, respectively. CH4 ERs were 6.4±1.9 kg/hr and 5.8±2.3 kg/hr for Stacks A and B in 2011, respectively. ERs of halocarbons were also very low from both stacks, with the sum of halocarbon ERs being 0.22 kg/hr and 0.11 kg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively.
For the criteria pollutants, ERs of the sum of NMHC were 6.2±3.0 kg/hr and 5.3 ±3.4 kg/hr for Stacks A and B in 2011, respectively. CO has ERs of 301±47 kg/hr and 1599±54 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and 87±7 kg/hr and 982±45 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. NO has ERs of 1072±37 kg/hr and 295±11 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and 271±6 kg/hr and 133±3 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. SO2 has ERs of 9344±331 kg/hr and >1050 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and 639±98 kg/hr and 727±132 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. PM2.5 (OPC) has ERs of 231±13 kg/hr and 49±5 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and 128±7 kg/hr and 8.0±0.3 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively. Lead (Pb) has ERs of 0.790±0.094 kg/hr and 1.861±0.139 kg/hr for Stack A in 2011 and 2008, respectively, and 0.110±0.028 kg/hr and 0.610±0.371 kg/hr for Stack B in 2011 and 2008, respectively.
The differences in ERs between cold and warm dilution were statistically insignificant for most species. However, there were important differences between winter 2011 and summer 2008 ERs: For Stack A, the ER of CO in winter 2011 was ~20% of that in summer 2008, and NH3 was below detection limit in winter 2011 but was 16.6 kg/hr in summer 2008. ERs of other species were higher in winter 2011 than summer 2008 with 2011/2008 ratios of: 1.9 for CO2, 3.6 for NO, 5.8 for H2S, and 4.7 for PM2.5. For Stack B, the ER of CO in winter 2011 was ~10% of that in
6-2
summer 2008, and winter 2011 NH3 was only ~4% of summer 2008. Winter 2011 SO2 was ~90% of summer 2008. ERs of other species were higher in winter with winter/summer ratios of: 1.5 for CO2, 2.0 for NO, and 15.9 for PM2.5. These differences are probably caused by differences in the feedstock, stack operating conditions between the two tests periods rather than by the summer/winter temperature differences.
Stack A NOx, SO2, and PM25 ERs from dilution sampling in summer 2008 were 52%, >12%, and 18%, respectively, of NOx, SO2, and TSP ERs from 2007 compliance tests, while NOx and SO2 ERs from winter 2011 sampling were 90% and 6% higher than compliance tests, and PM2.5 was 6% lower than TSP. For Stack B, NOx from summer 2008 dilution testing was 45% higher than NOx from the compliance tests, and summer 2008 SO2 ERs were similar to those from the compliance tests. The PM2.5 ER from summer 2008 dilution sampling was only ~3% of the TSP or 21% of filterable PM from compliance tests. The NOx ER from winter 2011 dilution sampling was 3.2 times of that of compliance tests, while SO2 was 14% lower. The winter 2011 PM2.5 ER from dilution sampling was 4.5 times of the compliance test’s hot filter PM, and 39% lower than the TSP summed from the hot filter and impinger catches.
Soluble SO4= had the highest concentration and ER among all PM2.5 constituents for both
stacks, accounting for 39-73% of the PM2.5 emissions. For Stack A, SO4= ER in winter 2011 was
~6 times of that in summer 2008, while NH4+ ER in winter 2011 was 23% of that in summer
2008. For Stack B, SO4= ER in winter 2011 was ~20 times of that in summer 2008 and NH4
+ ER in winter 2011 was ~17 times of that in summer 2008. Stack emissions of rare earth elements were <5 g/hr.
Retene was the dominant non-polar organic species in PM2.5 from Stack A in winter 2011, with an ER of 1299.3±451.0 g/hr, which caused the total measured non-polar organic species in 2011 to be ~100 times of that of 2008. ERs for non-polar organic species were low (~3 g/hr) in Stack B PM2.5, and winter 2011 and summer 2008 ERs were comparable. ERs of PM2.5 carbohydrates and organic acids were <300 g/hr. Both stacks had higher total WSOC ERs in winter 2011 than in summer 2008. Most nitro-PAHs ERs were below detection limits except for 9-nitroanthracene in Stack A (50.6±19.9 mg/hr). Total Hg ERs were 17.80±8.41 mg/hr and 13.73±3.15 mg/hr for Stacks A and B, respectively.
The five most abundant NMHC species in Stack A were: ethene, ethane, propane, propylene, and n-butane, and the five most abundant species in Stack B were: trans-2-butene, 1,3-butadiene, n-nonane, cyclohexane, and benzene. Alkanes and cycloalkanes were the most abundant groups, accounting for 62% and 47% of PAMS for Stacks A and B, respectively. The sum of all halocarbons was 2.9% and 8.4% of the sum of PAMS compounds for Stacks A and B, respectively. Acetone and acetaldehyde are the most abundant carbonyls, accounting for 67% and 20% of total carbonyls for Stack A, and 71% and 24% for Stack B, respectively.
For Stack A, the summer 2008 NH3 abundance (34% of PM2.5) was higher than its winter 2011 abundance (<0.003% of PM2.5). For Stack B, both NH3 and SO2 were more abundant in summer 2008 (1025% and 9205% of PM2.5, respectively) than winter 2011 (3.1% and 429% of PM2.5, respectively).
For Stack A, the major chemical PM2.5 chemical component was (NH4)2SO4 in summer 2008 and H2SO4 droplets (i.e., mixed with liquid water) in winter 2011, accounting for 53.9% and 92.4% of PM2.5, respectively. For Stack B, (NH4)2SO4 was the major PM2.5 composition in both 2008 and 2011 (91.3% of PM2.5). The major PM2.5 component from Stack C in 2008 was H2SO4 droplets (95.9% of PM2.5). Trace element abundances were low (typically < 0.1%), but
6-3
these are still useful as source markers. Among these elements, both stacks had highest abundances for Al, S, and Fe. Carbon accounted for a minor fraction of PM2.5, with TC being 6.9% and 12.9% of PM2.5 from Stack A in winter 2011 and summer 2008 and 1.2% and 6.9% for Stack B in winter and summer, respectively. Rare earth element abundances were low (<0.01% of PM2.5). Lead isotopic abundances were consistent with natural abundances within ±10% except that 204Pb from Stack B in 2011 was 23.4% higher than its natural abundance.
Non-polar organic compounds accounted for 0.558±0.622% and 0.029±0.016% of PM2.5 for Stack A, and 0.002±0.004% and 0.038±0.009% for Stack B in winter 2011 and summer 2008, respectively. For Stack A, retene was the most abundant species in winter 2011, accounting for 95% of the sum of quantified non-polar compounds, while n-alkane was the most abundant category in summer 2008, accounting for 68% of non-polar compounds. For Stack B, n-alkanes are the most abundant category, accounting for 31% and 75% of measured non-polar compounds from Stack B in winter and summer, respectively.
For Stack A, the most abundant carbohydrates were glycerol (1.36% of OC) in winter 2011 and xylitol (0.36% of OC) in summer 2008. The most abundant organic acids were succinic acid (2.01% of OC) in winter 2011 and methanesulfonic acid (4.33% of OC) in summer 2008. WSOC accounted for 29.8% of OC in winter but only 0.26% in summer. For Stack B, glycerol was the only carbohydrates above the MDL, accounting for 3.71% and 0.04% of OC in winter 2011 and summer 2008, respectively. The most abundant organic acids were lactic acid (7.16% of OC) and acetic acid (6.91% of OC) in winter 2011 and methanesulfonic acid (7.92% of OC) in summer 2008. WSOC was 60.2% and 16.8% of OC in winter 2011 and summer 2008, respectively. Abundances for nitro-PAHs were <0.0005% of OC for both stacks.
This study generates a rich database of emission rates of multipollutants and source profiles of NMHC and PM2.5. This data can be used for evaluating multieffects. For example, the criteria contaminants emission rates can be used to verify current emission estimates, and provide input for source-oriented dispersion modeling; the GHG emission rates can be used to estimate global warming potentials (GWP); emission rates of air toxics can be used to establish or evaluate toxics inventory and exposure risks; and source profiles can be used in receptor-oriented source apportionment modeling and identify contributions to ambient pollution concentrations and adverse ecosystem responses.
Future studies on stack emissions will focus on: 1) evaluate emission changes with new pollution control devices are added (e.g., Facility A is adding a new bag house); 2) conduct a side-by-side comparison of dilution sampling and compliance test to evaluate different test methods; 3) understand the relationship between feedstock, stack operation, and emission rates and chemical compositions.
