Emission Calculation of Concrete Batching Plant for Cyber-Port Development

 

Stage 2

 

1.      Daily Plant Operation time (07:00 – 19:00) = 12 hours

 

2.      Density of Concrete = 2380 kg/m3

 

3.      Maximum Hourly Production rate of Concrete = 300 m3 (714 Ton)

 

4.      Average Ingredient of Concrete Production:

 

Crushed Rock                    = 750 kg/m3     = 315 kg/Ton

10/20mm Aggregate           = 1050 kg/m3   = 441 kg/Ton

Cementitious Material         = 440 kg/m3     = 185 kg/Ton

Water                                 = 180 kg/m3     = 76 kg/Ton

 

5.      Maximum Hourly Throughput Rate:

 

Rock + Aggregate              = 540 Ton/hour

Cement/PFA                            = 132 Ton/hour

 

6.      Exhaust air flowrate of dust collectors:

 

At maximum = 5800 m3/hour (for DC5 and DC7)

At maximum = 12000 m3/hour (for DC4)

At maximum = 1700 m3/hour (for DC6 and DC8)

 

 

 


 

Emission for Unloading of Sand/Aggregate to Ground Receiving Hopper

 

Referring to (AP-42, Section 11.19.2, Table 11.19.2-1, 1/95 Edition) the emission factor for truck unloading was recorded:

RSP - Given

8.0´10-6

a      Relative ratios in AP-42 Section 13.2.2 and 13.2.4 indicate that TSP emission factors may be estimated by multiplying PM-10 by 2.1.

 

 

Emission for Particles from Aggregate Stock Pile

 

Referring to (AP-42, Section13.2.4, 1/95 Edition) the aggregate storage piles can be calculated.

 

 (kg/Mg)

 

            Where  E = emission factor

                           k = particle size multiplier (dimensionless)

                           U = mean wind speed, meters per second (m/s)

                           M = material moisture content (%)

 

Given,  Moisture Content = 4.8%

            k value for TSP (particle size <30mm) = 0.74

 

Thus, emission factors for aggregate storage plies are:

 

            TSP     = 0.74 ´ (0.0016) ´ [(U/2.2)1.3 / (4.8/2)1.4] kg/Mg

                        = 1.25´10-4 U1.3 kg/Mg

 


 

Emission for Particles from Paved Access Road

 

 

Referring to (AP-42, Section 13.2.1, 10/97 Edition), Predictive Emission Factor Equation --- the quantity of dust emissions from vehicle on a paved road be estimated using the following empirical expression:

 

 

            E = k (sL/2)0.65 ´ (W/3)1.5                                            …..(1)

 

 

Where

      E    = particulate emission factor (having units matching the units of k)

                  k    = base emission factor for particle size range and units of interest (see below)

                  sL  = road surface silt loading (grams per square meter) (g/m2)

                  W  = average weight (tons) of the vehicle traveling the road

 

 

Referring to (AP-42, Table 13.2-1.1.), constant for equation 1.

a     The value shown is the mean value.

 

 

Mean vehicle weight is 18 Ton.

 

Thus, TSP emission factor         = k (sL/2)0.65 ´ (W/3)1.5 g/VKT

                                                = 24 (12/2)0.65 ´ (18/3)1.5 g/VKT

                                                = 1.130 kg/VKT

 


 

Emission Point EP1 and EP2 (Emission from Ground Receiving Hopper)

 

Emission factor for TSP = 16.8´10-6 kg/Mg

 

Maximum throughput rate of sand/aggregate = 540 Ton/h

 

Thus, the maximum TSP emission rate         = 540 ´16.8´10-6 kg/h

= 9.07´10-3 kg/h

= 2.52´10-3 g/s

 

With water spraying system and 3-sides and top enclosed the emission rate is reduced by 90%.

Therefore,        the maximum TSP emission rate            = 2.52´10-4 ´ 10% g/s

                                                                                    = 0.000252 g/s

 

 

Emission Point EP-7 (Emission from 225 Ton Aggregate Stock Pile)

 

Emission factor for TSP = 1.25´10-4 U1.3 kg/Mg

Assume the mean wind speed = 2.3 m/s

 

Maximum throughput rate of sand/aggregate = 540 Ton/h

 

Thus, the maximum TSP emission rate         = 540 ´ 1.25´10-4 U1.3 kg/h

= 0.0675 U1.3 kg/h

 

With water spraying system, 3-side and top enclosure and plastic curtain, the emission rate is reduced by 95%.

Therefore,        the maximum TSP emission rate            = 0.0675 U1.3 ´ 5% kg/h

                                                                                    = 3.375´10-3 U1.3 kg/h

                                                                                    = 0.00094 U1.3 g/s

 

Emission Point EP8 (Exhaust from Dust Collectors, DC4)

 

Assume the maximum emission concentration for TSP = 50 mg/m3

The maximum exhaust gas flowrate = 5000 m3/h

 

Thus, the maximum TSP emission rate   = 5000 ´ 50 mg/h

                                                                  = 250 g/h

                                                                  = 0.0694 g/s

 


Emission Point EP9 and 11 (Exhaust from Dust Collectors, DC5 and DC7)

 

Assume the maximum emission concentration for TSP = 50 mg/m3

The maximum exhaust gas flowrate = 5800 m3/h

 

Thus, the maximum TSP emission rate   = 5800 ´ 50 mg/h

                                                                  = 290 g/h

                                                                  = 0.0806 g/s

 

 

Emission Point EP10 and EP12 (Exhaust from Dust Collectors, DC6 and DC8)

 

Assume the maximum emission concentration for TSP = 50 mg/m3

The maximum exhaust gas flowrate = 1700 m3/h

 

Thus, the maximum TSP emission rate   = 1700 ´ 50 mg/h

                                                                  = 85 g/h

                                                                  = 0.0236 g/s

 

 

Emission Point EP19 (Emission from Conveying of Aggregate)

 

Maximum trucks flowrate = 90 per hour

Mean vehicle weight = 18 Ton

(Vehicle weight is 24 Ton for full loading of 12 Ton concrete)

 

TSP emission factor = 1.130 kg/VKT

 

TSP emission rate   = 1.130 ´ 1000 ´ 90 / (1000 ´ 3600) g/ms

                                    = 0.028 g/ms

 

With water spraying system and speed limit control, the emission rate is reduced by 90%.

 

Therefore,        the maximum TSP emission rate            = 0.028 ´ 10% g/ms

                                                                                    = 0.002825 g/ms

 


Emission Point EP20 (Emission from Conveying of Cement)

 

Maximum trucks flowrate = 22 per hour

Mean vehicle weight = 18 Ton

(Vehicle weight is 24 Ton for full loading of 12 Ton concrete)

 

TSP emission factor = 1.130 kg/VKT

 

TSP emission rate   = 1.130 ´ 1000 ´ 22/ (1000 ´ 3600) g/ms

                                    = 0.0069 g/ms

 

With water spraying system and speed limit control, the emission rate is reduced by 90%.

 

Therefore,        the maximum TSP emission rate            = 0.0069 ´ 10% g/ms

                                                                                    = 0.00069 g/ms

 

 

Emission Point EP21 (Emission from Conveying of Concrete Product)

 

Maximum trucks flowrate = 60 per hour

Mean vehicle weight = 18 Ton

(Vehicle weight is 24 Ton for full loading of 12 Ton concrete)

 

TSP emission factor = 1.130 kg/VKT

 

TSP emission rate   = 1.130 ´ 1000 ´ 60/ (1000 ´ 3600) g/ms

                                    = 0.0188 g/ms

 

With water spraying system and speed limit control, the emission rate is reduced by 90%.

 

Therefore,        the maximum TSP emission rate            = 0.0188 ´ 10% g/ms

                                                                                    = 0.00188 g/ms
