Re: FW: Residential Wood Combustion Update

["Dennis McGeen" <MCGEENDD@michigan.gov>]

After reviewing the MARAMA document, in particular Section 2.3.1, I'd be
comfortable using the B(a)P and other factors.  Their approach looks to
be very thorough.

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
