Granular Bed Filter Development Program: Particle Sampling Facility Operation

摘要

This report presents details regarding CPC's particle sampling techniques and procedures. It is shown that EPA Method 5 loading results check within 3% of other discrete sample techniques and within 9% of loadings calculated from an overall test material balance. Size distribution measurements using the Andersen 2000 Mark III impaction classifier are shown to compare favorably with University of Washington impaction classifier results obtained by an independent sampling team and are of the same order as manufacturer's data obtained using a scanning electron microscope. An outline of interface procedures with the outside sampling subcontractor is included. (ERA citation 03:020902)
