SITE SPECIFIC STACK EMISSION TEST PLAN

Name of Establishment: BENGUET CORPORATION – ACUPAN CONTRACT MINING PROJECT

Location of Facility: BALATOC, VIRAC, ITOGON BENGUET

Sources to be tested: 1 unit 5,013 CFM Verantis Acid Fume Scrubber

INTRODUCTION :

GREENTEK ENVIRONMENTAL PHILS. CO. (GREENTEK ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING

SERVICES) was contracted by BENGUET CORPORATION – ACUPAN CONTRACT MINING
PROJECT to conduct source emission testing of 1 unit 5,013 CFM Verantis Acid Fume Scrubber at
their plant facility located at the above address.

The purpose of the test is to determine the compliance of the above sources with the emission
standards. This test plan is prepared for review and approval by the DENR-EMB - CAR so that the
results of the emission tests can be used as basis of their accomplishment of self-monitoring report and
compliance to permit conditions of their permit to operate.

The parameters to be test are PM, SOX, NOX & CO the test will be conducted in three (3) runs.

FACILITY INFORMATION:

The above testing activity will be performed at the facility specified below with the following contact
information:

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCE TO BE TESTED:

BENGUET CORPORATION – ACUPAN CONTRACT MINING PROJECT, is a mining and has

maintained and operates 1 unit 5,013 CFM Verantis Acid Fume Scrubber.

Emission testing will be conducted with a load of at least 90% of the rated capacity per unit.

TEST METHODOLOGIES:

The sampling will be conducted in three sampling runs per source. The following DENR Standard
Procedure (US-EPA Reference Methods) will be used in this stack-sampling program. These
procedures are based on the US-EPA 40 CFR 60, Appendix A – Reference Methods for Emission
Testing of Stationary Sources:

Method 1 Sample and velocity traverses

Method 2 Stack gas velocity and volumetric flowrate
Method 3 Gas analysis for O2 and CO2 and dry molecular weight
Method 4 Determination of moisture content
Method 5 Determination of particulate emission
Method 6 Determination of sulfur dioxide emission
Method 7 Determination of nitrogen oxides emission
Method 10 Determination of carbon monoxide emission

Methods 1 to 4 will be conducted in conjunction with Methods 5 and 6 which requires isokinetic
emission sampling. GREENTEK ENVIRONMENTAL PHILS. CO., (GREENTEK ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES) will use stainless steel probe liner and sampling nozzle which is an
accepted alternative of the USEPA (DENR approved) methods.

In addition to PM and SOx sampling, the NOx testing will be conducted using three samples per test run
where one result may be disregarded if they are found to be an outlier from other values. CO samples
will be collected in a tedlar bag and will be analysed using a non-dispersive infra-red analyse
 The table below describes the implementation of the above sampling procedures:

The facility should operate the unit source continuously during testing. In case the boiler is operating
intermittently, or the stack test ports did not comply with the Method 1 requirements, only gaseous pollutants
will be tested such as SOx, NOx and CO including gas analysis of CO2 and O2. Three replicate test runs,
about 30minutes in duration shall be performed when the boilers are intermittently.
TEST SCHEDULE AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
