VOC/NOx Screening for Ozone Standards

***
The Scheffe memo has been used as a screening method to demonstrate compliance with ozone standards based on a facility's VOC and NOx PTEs. The first link below is a poor-quality scanned version of the memo with "draft" stamped on several pages. The second link is from a Nevada web site; it's cleaner and doesn't have the draft markings, but it cautions that it's a recreation of the original and they don't guarantee its accuracy.

Scanned original (marked "draft")

Cleaned version on Nevada web site

Here's a table and chart based on the Scheffe method that was used for permitting a previous incarnation of the Montana Advanced Biofuels project (stored in project folder ACT203382).

Equipment Leak Fugitive VOC Emissions Estimation

EPA-453/R-95-017

See Tables 2-1 through 2-4 for source-category-specific emission factors. Multiply kg/hr by 2.2046 to get lb/hr.

Influence of VOC Measurement and Reporting Methods on Regulatory Policy and Emissions Estimations

NC Division of Air Quality

Stationary Source Compliance Branch

December 6, 1996

"The most commonly used methods for quantifying VOCs in gas streams are in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 60) Appendix A, Methods 18, 25, and 25A. Each method has advantages and disadvantages relative to the other methods. The choice of measurement and reporting techniques depends on the purpose that the data will serve. Due to differing analytical limitations for each of the VOC test methods, all sources may not be able to use the same test method and data manipulation procedures."
