Technical Bulletin No. 0109: A Study of Wood-Residue Fired Power Boiler Total Gaseous Non-Methane Organic Emissions in the Pacific Northwest (AQTB)

This technical bulletin includes a description of the sampling and analytical method used and heretofore unidentified limitations of its use on combustion sources where carbon dioxide and significant amounts of moisture coexist. The bulletin contents describe the VOC emission levels found at four woodfired boilers in the Pacific Northwest firing principally Douglas Fir. To the extent that VOC emissions may differ from wood residues derived from other wood species, the findings are qualified.
