EMISSION ESTIMATE BASED ON APPROVED ESTIMATION METHODS

Sample Estimated Annual Mass Volume Rate for Diesel Engine Generator Set

• APSI Source: 100kW “Cummins “Generator Set

o Fuel Consumption: 433,800 gallons/year
50 gallons/hour
o Number of Operating Hours: 0.5 hours/day
3 days/week
78 hours/year
NOTE:
1. For standby generator sets, the operating hours indicated should be reflected in permit application.
2. Computation of operating hours is as follows: (**hrs/day) x (**days/week) x (52 weeks/yr)= **hrs/year

o No Air Pollution Control Device (APCD)

US EPA AP-42 Emission Factors (lbs/1000 gallons burned)

Where:
General Equation: E=Emissions
ER EF=Emission Factor
E = A x EF x (1 − )
100 A=Activity
ER=Overall Emission Reduction Efficiency

SOLUTION FOR 100 KW “CUMMINS” GENERATOR SET

• No Air Pollution Control Device (APCD): ER=0

• Emission Factors: PM CO NOx SOx VOC
41.49 127.1 590.2 38.31 48.18

• Fuel Consumption: 433,800 gallons/year or 50 gallons/hour
