PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEMS

1. INTRODUCTION

Preventive maintenance and performance monitoring of a pollution control system, be it an effluent treatment system to treat an industrial effluent, or an air pollution control system to abate the release of air contaminants into the atmosphere, is a prerequisite for an uninterrupted and efficient operation of the control system. Experience of the officers of the Department of Environment (D.O.E) during enforcement and site inspections attests to the undisputable fact that preventive maintenance and performance monitoring of pollution control systems is not given due importance by the industrial operators . With regard to air pollution control systems, broken and corroded ducting, corroded cyclones, broken filter bags, malfunctioned compressed air system, non functioning pressure gages, etc are common observations made during enforcement rounds. This subsequently leads to inefficient operation of the control system which may result in violation of emission standards as well as work place air quality standards. If performance monitoring had been put in place and strictly adhered to, this unacceptable state of affairs would never happen. Continual and efficient functioning of air pollution control systems is dependent on effective preventive maintenance and performance monitoring program.

2. OBJECTIVE OF THE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT

The objectives of the guidance document are:

(i)

To standardize the performance monitoring procedure to be conducted by the industries to ensure proper working conditions of air pollution control equipment. Regulation 40 of the Clean Air Regulations. 1978 requires that control system be maintained in proper working condition. This guidance

-2-

document has been prepared to satisfy the intent of the above regulatory provision (regulation 40). (ii) To standardize performance monitoring requirements as spelt out in the approval conditions of new installations of air pollution control system. The control equipment covered in this guideline falls under the broad definition of control equipment as used in the Environmental Quality Act, 1974.

3. IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE MONITORING

Performance monitoring typically forms an integral part of preventive maintenance procedure adopted in an industry to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation of air pollution control system. Additionally, preventive maintenance helps detect early onset of deteriorating performance of the control system hence avoids unnecessary plant shutdowns and costly enforcement penalties. Preventive maintenance procedure can specify action levels at which corrective actions are to be initiated.

From the enforcement viewpoint, performance monitoring of air pollution control equipment is an acceptable surrogate to stack emission testing to gage compliance with emission standards. As we all know, stack emission testing is not commonly conducted on a routine basis due to cost and other constraints. Data kept in preventive maintenance procedures and performance monitoring is typically used by environmental agencies worldwide as an additional enforcement tool apart from actual stack emission testing.

4. PERFORMANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENT

All air pollution control equipment must be maintained and operated in such a manner that they are in good working condition as required by Regulation 40 of the Clean Air Regulations. In order to ensure compliance with this requirement a set of activities need to be conducted on a routine basis typically by the operator of the pollution control equipment. These activities commonly referred to as operation and maintenance

-3-

(O&M) or more appropriately preventive maintenance and performance monitoring are routine duties of the operator.

4.1 Written permission conditions for new sources Approval of new installations of control equipment will invariably incorporate some conditions on performance monitoring requirements . These may include reporting and record keeping requirements. Typical forms/log sheets to be used to record the performance data may be prescribed or recommended.

4.2 Existing sources Although some existing sources have instituted regular activities to monitor the performance of air pollution control equipment on their premises, by en large most sources are still oblivious to the need to have such regular monitoring. A directive may be issued to these sources to instruct them to put in place a performance monitoring program and a reasonable time frame of six months is recommended for compliance with the directive. Within this time period the industries are expected to be able to undertake the necessary actions such as minor retrofitting work to install the required monitoring instruments, if necessary.

5. PERFROMANCE MONITORING OF CENTRIFUGAL COLLECTORS Centrifugal collectors/separators are the most widely used inertial separators today. Centrifugal collectors are commonly used as precleaners to remove coarser particulates and reduce load on more efficient dust collectors. New generation high efficiency axial flow vortex tubes are also used as filters on solid-fuelled burning equipment. The most common types of centrifugal collectors in use today are:

(i) Single-cyclone separators (ii) Multiple-cyclone separators or multiclones/multicyclones.

Table 1 below summarizes typical preventive maintenance procedure and performance monitoring for single cyclones and multicyclones .

5.1 Regulatory record keeping requirements At A minimum the mandatory performance monitoring data specified in Table 2 must be kept and made available to DOE officers for inspection. Typical forms to record performance data of mechanical separators are given in Appendix I Table 2: Records of performance data of cyclones Parameter

Opacity

Whether a continuous transmissometer/smoke meter/opacity meter is incorporated into the system or not, the output on opacity/stack observation should be recorded. The cause of abnormal change in opacity level should be identified and corrective action taken. If operator is not trained to conduct smoke observation, a descriptive statement on the condition of stack emission is sufficient

Dust

At least one parameter indicating the quantity of dust removed (e.g. weight or volume) from cyclone hopper must be monitored. Significant change in dust quantity may be indicative of cyclone failure or of process changes.

6. PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF BAGFILTERS Commonly known as baghouses, bagfilters are one of the most efficient and cost effective types of dust collectors available and can achieve a collection efficiency of more than 99% for very fine particulates. Classified on the basis of cleaning method, four common types of baghouses are:
(i) (ii) (iii) (iv)

Mechanical shaker Reverse air Reverse/Pulse jet Sonic cleaning

(Source: Adapted from Bureau of Mines, 1987) 6.1 Regulatory record keeping requirements A record keeping program is essential for the smooth operation of the baghouses and may lengthen its useful life and minimize emission. The program should comprise both

-7-

operating and preventive maintenance records and performance monitoring records. Record keeping requirements may vary from one industry to another depending on the type of manufacturing process being controlled, the size of operation, the size and the location of the industry. From the regulatory stand point, at the minimum the records specified in Table 4 must be kept and maintained. Typical forms to record performance data on bagfilters are illustrated in Appendix II. This form and other

relevant information must be kept in a logbook and made available to the DOE officers for inspection. The frequency for manual collection of the data on pressure drop and opacity observation should be at the minimum once per day.

Table 4: Record of performance data of bagfilters
Data Pressure drop Flowrate Comments Pressure drop across the filter must be monitored as an indication of resistance to flow and cleaning effectiveness Proper interpretation of pressure drop information can be made if flowrate information is available. A developing leak in the ducting or in the baghouse itself can be identified by examining flowrate record. Whether a continuous transmissometer/smoke meter/opacity meter is incorporated into the system or not, the output on opacity/stack observation should be recorded. The cause of abnormal change in opacity level should be identified and corrected In some applications, temperature data are also important to evaluate high temperature excursion condensation. At least the inlet gas temperature of the baghouse must be monitored.

7. PERFROMANCE MONITORING OF WET PARTICULATE SCRUBBERS Commonly known as wet scrubbers, these particulate/dust collectors use liquid (usually water) as the scrubbing liquid to remove dust particles from a dust-laden gas stream. Wet scrubbers may be categorized by pressure drop (in inches water gauge) as follows:
   

Low-energy scrubbers (0.5 to 2.5), e.g. gravity-spray-tower scrubber Low- to medium-energy scrubbers (2.5 to 6), e.g. wet cyclones Medium- to high-energy scrubbers (6 to 15), e.g. packed-bed scrubbers High-energy scrubbers (greater than 15), e.g. venturi scrubbers.

Although there are a variety of commercially available scrubbers hence preventive maintenance procedures may differ slightly from one another, Table 5 summarizes the procedures for typical wet scrubbers for particulates control. 8. PERFROMANCE MONITORING OF GASEOUS SCRUBBERS The preventive maintenance procedures recommended for gaseous scrubbers are given in Table 6.

The most important and useful parameter to monitor is pressure hence pressure instruments must be installed at strategic locations, namely on the scrubber, mist eliminator and fan as a minimum.

8.1 Regulatory record keeping requirements At A minimum the parameters stated in Table 7 must be monitored and data kept in log book and made available to the DOE officers for inspection. Typical forms to record performance data on gaseous scrubbers are depicted in Appendix III.

-11-

Table 7: Records of performance data Data TemperatureComment The scrubber inlet temperature is monitored to prevent high inlet gas temperature. Inlet gas temperature higher than the design value could lead to excessive liquid evaporation resulting in damage to scrubber components. The scrubber outlet temperature is monitored to evaluate scrubber operation and to protect downstream equipment from excessive temperature. High outlet temperature may be indicative of poor liquid distribution or plugging of liquid inlet To provide the most useful information, the pressure drop should be monitored across specific scrubber components i.e. scrubber chamber and mist eliminator instead of across the entire scrubber body. To ensure effective scrubbing, the liquor feed rate as well as the water make up rate should be monitored. Also for ensuring effective scrubbing, the pH of the chemical and scrubbing liquid feed streams and the recycle liquor systems should be monitored.

9. PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF TRANSMISSOMETERS Transmisometers are opacity monitors which are more commonly known as smoke meters and recorders in Malaysia. The instrument is generally installed across a stack or a duct that leads to the stack. Transmissometers are widely used to monitor the effectiveness of dust arrestment device and sometimes directly as a method of determining compliance with opacity emission standards.

-12-

A transmissometer is not per se an air pollution control equipment whose primary objective is to limit the discharge of containments into the atmosphere. Rather, it is an instrumentation system, hence a quality assurance program is imperative.

For the continued smooth operation of this continuous opacity emission monitoring system (COMS), quality control activities should be performed to assure that quality data are generated from the system. A summary of preventive maintenance/quality control procedures for a transmissometer system is given in Table 8.

Table 8: Preventive and corrective maintenance for transmissometers Task Operation checks (daily check, observations, adjustment) Check indicator lights status Record zero value Record span value Examine strip chart Clean outer surfaces, windows and filters Check alignment, dessicants and blower motor Check and replace lamps Performance audit* Assess the performance of the entire transmissometer system Monthly Monthly 1-2 years 3 years (fault) Frequency Daily

* Performance audit is an involved exercise which should be independently conducted by the company’s assurance group or a third party consultant.

9.1 Regulatory record keeping requirements

-13-

To comply with regulatory record keeping requirements at a minimum the records summarized in Table 9 should be kept in a logbook and made available to the DOE officers. Typical forms for recording performance data of transmissometers are given in Appendix V. Table 9: Performance monitoring record for transmissometers

Daily record of zero and calibration values Record of window cleanings Record of part replacements (lamps, filters, electronic components) Record of any maintenance Summary and results of audits

10. ENFORCEMENT OF PERFORMANCE MONITORING REQUIREMENTS

Approval conditions for new installations of chimneys/air pollution systems must include some conditions on performance monitoring requirements. During inspection duties the DOE enforcement officers will examine the logbooks kept at the factory premises for completeness of entries as specified in the preceding paragraphs entitled “Regulatory record keeping requirements” (paragraphs 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, and 9.1) for each control equipment. This represents the minimum requirement. Other activities to be conducted by the officers during the inspection rounds are discussed in a separate document entitled “Compliance Inspection of Air Pollution Control Systems” . 11. ADDRESSING UPSET CONDITIONS Any upset situations such as malfunctioning of air pollution control system must be attended to immediately. The corrective actions taken should be recorded in the relevant form as illustrated in Appendix V.
