Technical Bulletin No. 0358: A Study of Kraft Process Lime Kiln Total Gaseous Non-Methane Organic Emissions

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. This was a particularly troublesome problem at lime kilns. The bulletin contents describe the VOC emission levels found at lime kilns. The values would have been substantially greater had they not been corrected for the carbon dioxide interference occurring with the use of EPA Method 25 when used on combustion sources.
