3 Phone conversation with Don Caniparoli of CH2M on 5/13/2016
5 air modeling can be done approximating the multiple stacks as one stack
6 parameters needed:    
7   emissions velocity and temperature
8   stack height  
9   mass emissions rate (g/hr)
10   topographic data (depends on model)
11   met data (depends on model
14 from simplest and most conservative to more complex:
15   $3k-5k SCREEN3 simplest screening model, EPA recommends AERSCREEN as its replacement
16   $10k AERSCREEN EPA recommended screening model
17   $20k AERMOD "full modeling", requires hourly met data
19 One approach is to go straight to AERMOD. Or, you could start with the simplest and move on if needed based on the results.
20 The modeling could tell you the maximum mass mass emissions rate (g/hr) that will keep the conc at the receptor below the required limit. So you could calculate your max production rate from that, for each pollutant.
21 The above costs are per-facility and not per-pollutant. It doesn't have to be run for each pollutant individually.

25 $10,000 low AERSCREEN only
26 $30,000 high AERSCREEN then AERMOD

5 $65k for three, 16-hr runs at the big Tier 2 manufacturers. (Their batch process takes ~16 hrs)
6 If they could do the standard shorter runs (three, 1-3hr runs) then that would be $10k to $15k.
8 The smaller manufacturers use a process that may take 4 days. If source testing had to take place over that entire 4 days, that would be approx $100k.
10 This is for DEQ method 5 testing at 1 stack. If multiple stacks had to be tested, that would almost be a multiple of the cost.
11 Total chrome and the other metals can all be tested with a single sample train.
12 If testing for Cr6, that requires a separate test run (with a separate sample train) so that would be another $65k.
14 Can't test for Cr6 at the same time as filterable particulate because Cr6 test requires recirculating a fluid to the tip of the sample intake. That fluid would wet and block the filter.
15 Can test for filterable particulate and metals (total Cr, Cd As etc) in a single sampling train, as long as you aren't testing for Cr6.
18 Talked with David Monro 5/16/2016
19 He used to work for a source testing company.
21 To test 99% baghouse filterable PM capture efficiency you don't need to measure an entire production run. You just need to compare the input vs the output over a time period long enough that detection limits allow you to demonstrate that if input is X, output is 0.01X. David estimates $4k to $6k for this kind of test if can be done with standard 1-hr runs.
22 To measure Cr3 conversion to Cr6 you'd need to source test over the entire production run, so that'd be 16hrs per run for the big facilities. David estimated $60k for Cr6 testing with 16 hr runs.
23 Tier 1 facilities that opt for source testing + modeliing would be testing for metals instead of PM. Their run length might be determined by modeling, which would show what detection limit was needed in order to show whether emissions were above / below source impact limits. David estimated this testing would be about $15k to $25k.
24 Tier 1 facilities that opt for source testing + modeling have the option to assume all Cr is Cr6 for modeling purposes. If they chose for some reason to test for Cr6 conversion their cost would also likely be about $60k.

22 5/17/2016 phone conversation with Abe:
23 Tier 1 facilities have about $2M to $3M per year of total sales in a year
25 Tier 1 furnace runs last about 32 to 48 hours, with raw materials added slowly over time to reduce time needed for air bubbles to work their way out.
26 One batch in a furnace would hold about 28 to 60 lbs of glass. Maybe as much as 75 lbs.
28 Abe suggested that cadmium should be treated like Cr 6. Cadmium has a low melting point, so according to Abe only 20% of it ends up in the glass.
29 80% goes up the stack. So, Abe feels that Tier 1 facilities shouldn't be able to use cadmium in an uncontrolled furnace. (Just as they can't use Cr6).
31 Abe said that it's easy to measure the amount of metals in the end product glass, and easy to measure what's in the raw materials.
32 You could have a conservative estimate of emissions just using a mass balance approach.

10 does not want to consider source test + modeling due to regulatory environment. Wants flexibility of operation and materials used.
11 Does not know what the result of modeling would be, has heard that modeling would cost $15k to $80k and have to be done for each pollutant.

5 $250k for installation of baghouse and ductwork for control of 11 furnaces
6 may add additional baghouse to control additional furnaces later
7 could have HEPA filter (as added backup & for detection of leaks) at exit of baghouse
8 bags designed to last a certain number of purge cycles, about 7 years.
