Method 1H - Fuel Use Basis
Method 2H - Steam Balance Basis
Method 3H - Flue Gas Analysis Basis
The test supervisor is to submit data on the heat input(s) based on the Fuel Use Basis (Method 1H) whenever coal scales or other fuel meters, as appropriate, are available.
If the appropriate fuel metering device(s) are not available, Method 2H - Steam Balance Basis is to be used.
For all test runs also submit data on the heat input(s) based on Method 3H - Flue Gas Analysis Basis, in addition to the data required by Method 1H or 2H, whichever is applicable.
8.1.b. The following Sub-Sections detail the specific data required for each method and the means of obtaining these data.
8.2. Fuel Use Method (1H).
8.2.a. This computational method requires:
a.1. The measured amount of all fuel(s) fired in the fuel burning units during each test run period, as determined by continuous coal scales or equivalent and/or oil flow and/or gas meter(s). When gas is fired, the temperature and pressure of the gas meter(s) are needed.

This sample is to be obtained in accordance with the Commercial Sampling Procedure of ASTM: Method D 2234-76 or its latest revision. Consult this ASTM standard for details of the required procedures. Sampling and analysis of coal entering bunkers or silos feeding the fuel burning unit to be tested is also acceptable provided that ASTM requirements are met and that such sampling/analysis properly represents the quality of the coal burned during the test periods.
A.2. Prepare the reduced gross sample, obtained above, for laboratory analysis in accordance with ASTM: Method D 2013-72, "Preparing Coal Samples for Analysis" or its later revision.

In this ASTM method, further amplification is given to the methods of reducing the gross sample to a laboratory sample and preparing the laboratory analysis. The laboratory sample is so prepared that 100% of the coal sample shall pass through a No. 60 (250 micron) sieve. The final product is thoroughly mixed prior to extracting analytical samples.
A.3. Extract an analytical sample from the laboratory sample and determine the moisture, ash, and volatile matter content of this sample in accordance with ASTM Method D 3173-73 or ASTM Method D 2961-87 (Moisture), ASTM D 3174-82 (Ash), and ASTM D 3175-82 (Volatile Matter) or their latest revisions.

Consult this ASTM standard for details of the required procedure.
A.5. Extract another analytical sample from the laboratory sample and determine total sulfur content of the sample in accordance with ASTM Method D 3177-75 "Test for Total Sulfur in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke" or ASTM Method D 4239-85 or their latest revisions. Consult these ASTM standards for details of the required procedures.
A.6. Send a sealed and marked one pint sample of the laboratory sample representative of the gross sample, to the Director with the test report. If drying was used in reducing the gross sample to the laboratory sample, indicate the percent loss of moisture during this process. For each container provide the test identification number assigned by the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection in accordance with Sub-Section 7.2.b of this Appendix and the test run number.
2.B. For Fuel Oils:
Determine the supplier's name and address, and the specifications for the oil supplied. Use the supplier's specifications when available for the ash content and Btu value of the oil. When such specifications are not available, determine the grade of oil fired, by referring to any Standard Engineering Handbook. As such the Handbook and appropriate edition should be properly identified, for inclusion as part of any results submitted to the agency for the ash, sulfur and Btu values. Send an eight ounce, sealed and marked, sample of the oil fired during the test to the Director with the test report.
2.C. For Natural Gas:
Determine the supplier's name and address, and the specification of the natural gas supplied. Use the supplier's specification for the Btu value of the fuel. Ash may be considered negligible.
2.D. Other Fuels:
Determine the name and address of the supplier(s) or producer(s) of any other materials fired during the test run period. Determine the source(s) of the fuel(s). Use the supplier(s)'/producer(s)' specifications for the ash, sulfur, and Btu value. When such specifications are not available, resolve with the Director or his designee, the method which shall be used to determine these values, prior to conducting the test. Submit an appropriate small sample of the fuel fired, if other than a gas, to the Director in a sealed and marked sample container.
8.3. Steam Balance Method (2H).
This method requires a materials balance and inlet and outlet water/steam or other media pressure and temperature data during the test run period, for the boiler(s) of the fuel burning unit(s) vented by the test stack.
8.3.a. Measure the mass flow rate of all water/steam or other media flowing through each boiler, including blowdown.

8.4. Flue Gas Analysis Method (3H).
8.4.a. This method involves determining the heat input for the boiler(s) of the fuel burning unit(s) vented by the test stack utilizing:

a.2. total volume of stack gas discharged through the stack during the test run; and
a.3. the average excess air discharged [O2% or CO2%] through the test stack during the test run period.
8.4.b. Appropriate F-factors are to be obtained from 40 CFR, Part 60, Subpart D [as of July 1, 1994], unless carbon content of fly ash or bottom ash exceeds five (5) percent on a per weight basis. In these cases, consult the Director or his designee prior to conducting the test to determine and resolve a suitable F-factor adjustment.
8.4.c. Total Volume of Stack Gas.
The total volume of stack gas is determined from:
c.1. volume meter readings obtained during subject test run and recorded on Form TD: Test Run Data Sheet for each test run.
8.4.d. Stack Excess Air.
d.1. For low nitrogen content fuel(s) (coal, fuel oil, natural gas), the stack excess air can be computed from the data obtained from the Orsat analysis and recorded on Form TOA - Laboratory Data Sheet (Orsat) for each test run. If blast furnace gas, producer gas, or other fuel(s) of high nitrogen content are used, consult the Director or his designee prior to conducting the test to determine and resolve a suitable method of determining the excess air when such fuel(s) is burned.
