FW: Residential Wood Combustion Update

["Cabrera-Rivera, Orlando" <Orlando.Cabrera-Rivera@dnr.state.wi.us>]

Hello! Below is a link to MARAMA's residential wood combustion study documents. Technical Memorandum #2 includes the emission factors for different kinds of combustion devices. Table 2.3.1 has the factors for conventional fireplaces, and includes B(a)P. Please take a look at the document and let's discuss the possibility of using these emission factors. We may also want to discuss using the emission factors for other HAPs, and combustion types as well. 

 

Thanks,

 

Orlando

Hello All,

 

Due to an error in some of OMNI’s data, revisions have been made to portions of Technical Memorandums 1 and 2. Thanks to the keen eyes of David Fees, OMNI realized that the treatment of zeros was not done correctly and have revised portions of Technical Memorandums 1 and 2 to reflect the change in average burn rates that this has caused.  The Pechan database was not interpreted correctly and the burn rate averaged across all households reporting having a wood-burning device rather than across only households that report using their wood-burning device was erroneously used.  This has a small but real effect on the emission inventory (20% to 30%).  Compliments to David Fees for going through the documents in enough detail to find this mistake. 

 

The following revised documents will be placed on the Residential Wood Combustion Section of the MARAMA website (http://www.marama.org/visibility/ResWoodCombustion/):

1-     Technical Memorandum 1 (the Activity Data) database and report

2-     Technical Memorandum 2 ( the Emissions Inventory) database and report

3-     Technical Memorandum 2 ( the Emissions Inventory) in SMOKE and NIF 3.0 format

4-     A new set of comment responses from 7/28 and 8/1

 

Let me know if there are any questions. Regards,

 

Angie
