    Maruf Mahmood performed air quality monitoring and testing of particulate emissions from a circular stack on behalf of his company to comply with local regulatory requirements. He used several approved test methods to measure gas velocity, temperature, water vapor concentration, and particulate concentration. The results obtained included stack dimensions, dew point, CO2 concentration, static pressure, sampling time, filter weights, average temperature, velocity pressure at traverse points, and nozzle diameter. Based on his analysis of the test parameters, diagrams, graphs, tables, and calculation formulas, Mahmood concluded that the particulate concentration in the exhaust gas was very low under normal conditions, in compliance with regulations.

    Assignment 1 St No. 2770719

    Introduction:
    According to the local requirements, a particulate emission from a circular stack has
    to be annually monitored. As our company has been commissioned to perform the
    test according to the procedures recommended by Queensland Environmental
    Protection Agency, I performed all tests on behalf of my company. To perform the
    tests I used the following methods to obtain the results as it is recommended by
    Queensland Environmental Protection Agency.

    • Gas velocity of the stack: Victorian EPA Method B4

    • Location of traverse points of a circular stack: USEPA Method 1

    • Temperature of Gas: BS 1041 Part 4 “Guide to selection and use of


    thermocouples”.

    • Water Vapour Concentration: USEPA Method 4

    • Particulates concentration: USEPA Method 5

    The following parameters were obtained

    • Diameter of the stack

    • Stack diameters downstream from flow disturbance

    • Stack diameters upstream from flow disturbance

    • Dew Point

    • CO2 Concentration

    • Static Pressure

    • Sampling time

    • Filter weight before the procedure

    • Filter weight after the procedure

    • Average temperature

    • Velocity pressure at traverse point

    • Diameter of the nozzle to obtain sampling flowrate to ensure isokinetic


    conditions.

    Conclusion and recommendation:


    In the first recommendation, I used 40 C as my normal temperature to convert
    velocity pressure (Kilopascal) at traverse points to mm of H2O.

    In the second recommendation for normalised cubic meter, I used 200 C and 101.3
    kPa as my normal condition.

    According to the parameters, diagrams, graphs, tables and the formulae that I have
    used for these tests, I think the results I have obtained are realistic. According to the
    result I have got a very low particle concentration in the exhaust gas under normal
    condition.
