Instructions for Spreadsheet Calculations for the Potential to Emit from Stationary Internal Combustion Engines

These spreadsheets are designed to help you determine the potential to emit from gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines using distillate oil, dual fuel, natural gas, or unleaded gasoline. Step 1 Choose one of the worksheets to calculate your emissions. Worksheet 1 calculates emissions based on horsepower-hour and Worksheet 2 calculates emissions based maximum fuel usage/hr and calculates this to million BTU/hr. Step 2 Each of the worksheets has multiple tables with emission factors based on the type of unit you operate. Use the table that corresponds to the type of fuel used and horsepower potential (listed at the top of each table): Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 (only on fuel page) Table 4 (or Table 5 on fuel Step 3 Enter the power output (in hp) or maximum hourly fuel usage (in gallons for diesel and gasoline and standard cubic foot for natural gas) in the corresponding highlighted field within the appropriate table as determined above. All tables refering to diesel assume .5% sulfur content. If you are required to use a fuel with a lesser sulfur content, alter the corresponding sulfur content field for Tables 1 or 2 of Worksheet 1. For dual fuel engines, enter the maximum million BTU per hour the unit can burn per the manufacturer's specifications. The potential emissions will then be automatically calculated.

The calculations are based upon 8,760 hours of operation. If you have an air quality permit that limits your hours of operation, you will have to change the equation in the Emissions (ton/yr) column to reflect that limit. Please note you will have to calculate the emissions for each engine and sum the emissions for each pollutant. This spreadsheet is only set up to calculate one engines emissions per table. Note: The emission factors used in this spreadsheet are generally assumed to be representative of long-term average emission rates and may not accurately represent emissions at your particular facility. The use of more representative emission factors obtained from stack tests or continuous monitoring systems (CEMS) is recommended when available. Contact the Air Quality Division if you have questions regarding the suitability of emission factors for your particular source. Step 4 Save a copy of your maximum potential emission calculations electronically and as a printout. If you need to apply for a permit, please submit a copy of your calculations with your permit application. Please note that if your operations change, you will have to reevaluate if you need an air quality permit. If you have any questions, please call the Air Quality Division at (877) 834-0474 or (402) 471-2189.
