    This document provides information and instructions for estimating dust collection emissions from particulate matter (PM 10) for reporting purposes. It lists the types of dust collection equipment as cyclone or baghouse, and provides typical emission rates for each. It instructs the user to input the emission rate, air flow rate, hours of operation, and calculates the annual emissions output. If air flow is unknown, it provides a method to estimate the fan size and air flow based on bag size and cleaning method. The total annual emissions are calculated and reported in pounds and tons.

    Step 1 List the dust collection equipment, location, name and the type of dust collection device. Choose the type of
    dust collection equipment from the choices on the drop down menu. There are three choices, bag house,
    cyclone and blank. The blank is to correct errors. The typical emission rate will be listed as you choose
    baghouse or cyclone.

    The emission rate, how dirty the air is as it leaves the control device, the Division typically uses 0.016 grains per
    cubic foot (gr/cf) for baghouse dust collection systems, if the manufacturers designed emissions rates are not
    known. For cyclone dust collection systems, use 0.055 gr/cf, if the manufacturers designed emissions rates are
    not known. Enter the number in Column A for each air pollution control device.
    Note: Do not include dust emission estimates for equipment discharging to the inside of buildings for this
    calculation.

    Step 2 Enter your air flow in cubic feet per min (cfm) in Column B. Refer to your manufacturer’s manual, name plate
    data or contact your vendor for this number. If you don't know your fan size, air flow thru the dust collector, use
    the last tab, Baghouse Size, to estimate air flow passing thru the equipment.

    Step 4 Estimate the hours you operate your dust collector per year. You can do this on a monthly basis and then
    multiply by 12 for a yearly estimate. Enter number in Column C.

    Step 5 The emission estimate, column D, is calculated by multipling Column A by the cfm in Column B. Multiply that
    number by 60 to convert from minutes to hours. Multiply that number by the hours in Column C. Divide by 7000
    to convert grains per year to pounds per year. D=A x B x C x 60 / 7000, enter numbers in Column D.

    Step 6 Add all the results in column D for a total in box X. Divide the total in X by 2000 to convert to tons per year,
    Y=X/2000, enter number in Box Y.

    How to Estimate Fan Size

    If you don’t know the air flow thru the bag house, the following method will estimate the fan size, air flow
    rate in cubic feet per minute (cfm), using the surface area of the bags and assume a typical air to cloth
    ratio. The air to cloth ratio is the air volumne per square foot of bag (cfm).

    First calculate the filter area of the bag house in square feet by estimating the surface area of all the bags
    in the bag house:

    Start by measuring the diameter and length of a bag. Next calculate the distance around the bag, Bag
    Circumference, using the bag diameter

    Bag Circumference = 3.1416 (times) Bag Diameter (inches)

    = 3.1416 X 10 = 31.42 Inches


    Bag Diameter "A"

    Next determine the filter area of all the bags in the bag house:

    Bag length in inches (times) bag circumference in inches, “A”, (times) Number of Bags in Bag House
    (divide by) 144 square inches to square feet:

    8.0 X 31.42 X 200 / 144 = 349.07 sq feet


    Length "A" Number of Bags "B"

    Now using the above filter area and a typical air to cloth ratio the flow rate thru the bag house can be
    estimated.

    Determine which bag cleaning method you have in your bag house, each cleaning method has a typical
    air to cloth ratio : shaker cleaning = 3 cfm/sq ft
    pulse jet cleaning = 7 cfm/sq ft

    Flow Rate = Bag filter area (times) exhaust ratio for the bag house cleaning system.

    = 349.07 X 3 = 1047 CFM


    "B" 3 or 7 cfm/sq ft "C"

    Note: There are many ways to estimate flow rates thru ventilation systems, this is one method, you may
    use any logical method. Please include the calculation method you use with the information you are
    submitting.
