Depending on the methods selected to calculate CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions (see previous section titled “Adding or Updating Catalytic Cracking, Fluid Coking, or Catalytic Reforming Unit Information”), you will be presented with screens to collect the respective CO2, CH4 and N2O emission results and additional data. Each specific screen is discussed below.

...

  • Annual average flow rate of exhaust gas (dscfh)
  • Manufacturer's recommended method used for annual average flow rate of exhaust gas
  • Number of hours missing data procedures were used for annual average flow rate of exhaust gas (hours)
  • Annual average percent CO2 in exhaust gas stream (percent by volume - dry basis; 0 ? x ? 0 ≤ x ≤ 100)
