2 Calculating the Control Efficiency for 3-Sided Enclosure for Various Activities
3 NOTE: This calculation sheet is ONLY for Filterable PM  
5 Step 1:
6 Enter Your Particle Size Distribution in D7, D8, and D9.  
7 The Reference for you Particle Size Distribution is:  
8 Pollutants Grain Size Distribution [1] Control Efficiency for Grain [2] Your Particle Size Distribution: AP-42 Section 13.2.4.3 (based on particle size multipliers used in the drop point equation)
9 PM 1.00 70% 100%
10 PM10 0.56 63% 47%
11 PM2.5 0.10 49% 7%
14 Step 2 - Conversion of 3-Sided Enclosure for Grain to Metal Alloy Handling
15 Pollutants Grain Distribution Fraction Fraction Removal Control Efficiency for Your Activity
16 PM - PM10 44% 79% 71%
17 PM10-PM2.5 46% 66% 63%
18 PM2.5 10% 49% 49%
19 [1] Particle size distribution from AP-42 , Table 9.9.1-1 "Headhouse and grain handling" (03/03)
20 [2] Capture and control efficiency based on the NDEQ default control efficiency for operation within a 3-sided enclosure for grain receiving/handling. Control Efficiency (CE) varies based on the type of device/equipment utilized. The CE is modified to account for the different size distribution for drop point emissions vs. grain handling.

19 Equation Set 1:        
20 (Emissions) X (1 - Capture Efficiency) = (Uncaptured Emissions)      
21 (Emissions) X (Capture Efficiency) X (1 - Control Efficiency[2]) = (Controlled Emissions)  
22 (Uncaptured Emissions) + (Controlled Emissions) = Total Emissions      
25 Equation Set 2:        
26 (Emissions) X ( 1 - Control Efficiency) = Total Emissions        
28 If more than one control or work practice is used in the Equation Set #2, use the following equation: Combined Control Efficiency = (Control Efficiency 1) X (Control Efficiency 2)

31 [1] The oiler suppression control efficiency can be applied to all operations downstream from the point of application. However, the oil can not properly mix with the grain during grain receiving so the oiling suppression control efficiency can not be used.
32
33 [2] Use mfg guarantees, performance specifications, or other documented control efficiencies such as AP-42 Appendix B.2 (ex. baghouse at 99.5% for PM, 99.5% for PM10, and 99% for PM2.5).
