Model pickling plants

In order to estimate emissions from pickling facilities, U.S. EPA developed 17 model plants to represent five types of pickling operations and one acid regeneration process.12 The model plants include one or more size variation for each process model. The model plants were developed from information obtained from a survey of steel pickling operations and control technologies. U.S. EPA estimated emission rates for model facilities. Using these emission rates and the production and hours of operation for the model pickling plants, emission factors were calculated. These appear in Table 28.12.
