This report will provide information whether such installations has a significant effect on the environment within
the vicinity. Specifications of the Air Pollution Source Installation will be presented for this purpose.
LIST OF AIR POLLUTION SOURCE INSTALLATION (APSI) AND CONTROL FACILITY (APCF)
1. Two (2) units 860kW “Mitsubishi” Diesel Generator (Stand-by)
2. Two (2) units 2,000 liters capacity diesel Fuel Day Tank.
The fuel is atomized and mixed with compressed air, the heat generated during the compressed phase ignites
the fuel / air mixture. The combustion of fuel produces combustion gases and heat. The heat rises the
temperature of the combustion gases causing them to expand and forced back the cylinders to their original
position, ready to take in a new mixture of air and fuel thus repeating the process. This motion of cylinders is
translated to a rotary motion of shaft that is connected to the generator which in turn generates require AC
current of the building.
They are housed properly in the power room with properly engineered connections. Generator set shall be
properly maintained and serviced to ensure that optimum operating efficiency is attained.
The generator set is fitted with mufflers such a way as not to cause nuisance to the immediate surroundings.
Emissions expected from the operation of power generating set consist of by-products from combustion of
fuel. These are CO2, CO, NOx, SOx, water vapor, soot particles, and traces of unburned hydrocarbon.
Carbon Dioxide and water vapor are both present in pure atmosphere and are not considered air
contaminants. An oxide of Nitrogen is a result mostly of oxidation between nitrogen and oxygen components of
the combustion air which normally contains 79% N2 and 21% O2.
Carbon Monoxide results from incomplete combustion of the carbon content of fuel oil.
The soot particles are mostly solid impurities in the oil such as dirt, etc. and ash component.
Pollution Loading
Considering that the operation of the generator sets are minimal, and only by weekly test run, the following
emission computations are presented as follows:
E = A x EF (1- ER / 100)
E = Emission Estimation
EF = Emission Factor
Table 1.
Fuel Diesel
Hours of operation Assuming eight (8) hours per month (stand-by use only)
Fuel Consumption:
(246 liters / hour) x (8 hrs / month) x (12 months / year) x 1 gallon / 3.785 liters
= 6,239.36 gallons/year
B. NOx ENOx = 6,239.36 gals / year x 428.31 lbs /1000 gals of fuel x 1 MT / 2200 lbs
C. CO ECO = 6,239.36 gals / year x 133.8 lbs /1000 gals of fuel x 1 MT / 2200 lbs
D. SOx ESOx = 6,239.36 gals / year x 133.84 lbs /1000 gals of fuel x 1 MT / 2200 lbs
E. VOC EVOC = 6,239.36 gals / year x 12.05 lbs /1000 gals of fuel x 1 MT / 2200 lbs
Hydrocarbon emission from fuel storage tank is only during loading of fuel into the storage
tank. Emission is expected to be minimal as diesel is not highly volatile. Proper venting is
sufficient to prevent odor nuisance in its immediate environs.
