Description

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report presents the results of a field testing effort to
characterize particulate emissions from refinery combustion sources.
The effort included 155 tests on two process heaters and three boilers
over a one year period. The units are described in Table 1-1 along
with process conditions and number of tests by category.

The major objective of this program was to determine emission factors,
size distribution, and chemical composition of particulates from
refinery combustion sources. This was accomplished by measuring and
analyzing source emissions from several types of units under a variety
of fuel firing and excess air conditions. The tests were run under
steady load conditions.

Key study findings and data interpretation are presented in Section 4.
A brief discussion of major study findings is given below.
