Jacques Whitford Presentation Fall 2007 Odour and VOC Testing Program November 8, 2007
Purpose • The purpose of the testing program is to measure odour and VOC emissions from the Raywal facility. • Raywal Volunteered to conduct this assessment in their CofA Application for the new finishing line. • The MOE incorporated the testing in the terms and Conditions of Certificate of Approval 5598-6JSMJP issued by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on June 12, 2007.
Source Measurements • The following sources will be tested under worst-case (maximum production) emission conditions: • Stack 30 – Stain line spray exhaust; • Stack 28 – Stain line curing oven exhaust; • Stack 27 – Sealer/topcoat line spray exhaust; • Stack 24 – Sealer/topcoat line oven exhaust; • Stack 39 – Spray booth 1&2 exhaust; • Stack 35 – Spray booth 4 exhaust; and, • Stack 20 – Spray booth 6 exhaust
Testing Methodology • Triplicate testing on each of the exhaust stacks will be conducted. • The odour samples will be collected subject to the assessment of an odour panel. • VOC samples will be collected and submitted to a CAEL accredited laboratory for analysis. • The sampling program will also include monitoring stack exit gas flow parameters, such as volumetric flow rate, moisture content, temperature and molecular weight. • Operating conditions of the seven stacks will also be monitored during each test by qualified operators.
Test Methods • Cyclonic/Reverse Flow – OSTC Method 1 • Moisture Content - OSTC Method 4 • Velocity - OSTC Method 2 • Odour (continuous sources) - MOE Source Sampling For Odours Ver. 2. • Odour (intermittent sources) - Sampling Lung and Vacuum Pump • VOCs - charcoal tube and personal sampling pump for Total VOC (TVOC) and specific VOC species. • Methanol - Silica gel tube and personal sampling pump
QA/QC Procedures • All equipment to be used in the sampling program is regularly calibrated against primary standards. Calibration records will be provided in the final report for all equipment used in the program. • Field data sheets for stack parameter testing will be based on formats provided in the Ontario Source Testing Code. Any anomalies that might take place during the sampling will be noted by the operators in a hard cover notebook. • The sampling preparation and on site sampling QA/QC checks will follow the related MOE documents OSTC (Version #2) and Source Sampling and Evaluation for Odours (Version #2).
Schedule • Preliminary testing date: week of November 26, 2007. • Laboratory analysis: 2-weeks from sample submission • Data analysis and reporting: 3-4 weeks from receipt of lab data.
