Example Calculations 2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop 1
2 For most emission sources the following equation is used: E = (Q*EF*(1-ER/100)) Where E = Calculated emissions in tons per year (tpy) Q = Activity rate (process rate) EF = Emission factor-Determined by the Methods of Calculation (e.g., AP42, Mfg Data). For combustion emissions, the sulfur percent and/or the ash content of the fuel will affect the emission factor ER = Overall Control Efficiency (Overall Emission Reduction efficiency), %. This is the combination of the capture efficiency and the control/destruction/removal efficiency. To calculate, multiply the capture efficiency by the control/destruction/removal efficiency and divide by 100

Emissions Inventory Workshop Capture Efficiency- the percentage of air emission that is collected and routed to the control equipment. Control Efficiency- the percentage of air pollutant that is removed from the air stream. (control/destruction/removal efficiency)
2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop 33 Example: Capture efficiency is 80% Device has a control efficiency of 95% Overall Control Efficiency= % Captured * % Control Efficiency (0.80*0.95)= 0.76 or 76 %
Emissions Inventory Workshop Multiple emission control devices, affecting a common air stream. Common occurrences: Dual Catalytic convertors Combination of bag house(s) and cyclone(s)
Emissions Inventory Workshop Primary control device A The capture efficiency is 90%. The control equipment removes 80% of the air pollutant from the emission stream Secondary control device B The capture efficiency is 100%. The control equipment removes 98% of the air pollutant from the emission stream Note: secondary controls most always have 100% capture efficiency.
