2013 | Source Reduction - A new larger baghouse (60,000 acfm reverse air) was installed to improve the capture and control of emissions from two electric arc furnaces. A bag leak detection system was also installed to monitor baghouse operation. New retractable side capture hoods were installed at each furnace. Canopy hoods were also installed to capture emissions during furnace tapping. This project was started in late 2012 and the new system was operational in January 2013. A baghouse engineering study (i.e., stack test) was completed in February 2013. The emission factor determined by the study indicated the emission factor used to calculate copper emissions for reporting years 2001-2012 was overly conservative. A comparison of these emissions factors using 2013 gross furnace charge tonnage indicates a 68.42% decrease in total (stack + fugitive) copper emissions from metal melting. |
