CE = control efficiency.
MU = the upstream VOC mass emission rate, in lb/hr.
MD = the downstream VOC mass emission rate, in lb/hr.
405 CALCULATION FOR DETERMINATION OF VOC CONTENT PER VOLUME OF
MATERIAL: The volume of material means the volume of the original
material, plus any VOC containing material added to the original
material. The weight of VOC per total volume of material shall be
calculated by the following equation:
G1 = Wv - Ww - Wec
-------------
Vm
Where: G1 = weight of VOC per total volume of material,
in grams per liter.
Wv = weight of all volatile compounds, in
grams.
Ww = weight of water in grams.
Wec= weight of compounds listed as exempt in
Section 210 from the definition of VOC, in
grams.
Vm = volume of material, in liters.
406 CALCULATION FOR VOC COMPOSITE PARTIAL PRESSURE: VOC
composite partial pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of the
compounds defined as VOCs, and shall be calculated by the following
equation: n
ä (Wi)(VPi)/(MWi)
PPc = i=1
----------------------
Ww We n Wi
---- + ---- + ä ----
MWw MWe i=1 MWi
Where: PPc = VOC composite partial pressure at 20oC, in
mm Hg.
Wi = Weight of the (i) VOC compound, in
grams.
Ww = Weight of water, in grams.
We = Weight of exempt compounds, in grams.
MWi = Molecular weight of the (i) VOC
compound, in grams per gram/mole.
MWw = Molecular weight of water, in grams
per gram/mole.
MWe = Molecular weight of exempt compound,
in grams per gram/mole.
VPi = Vapor Pressure of the (i) VOC
compound at 20oC, in mm Hg.
