Plasma Laser Cutting

This document provides information and calculations for estimating potential emissions from plasma arc or laser cutting operations. It includes equations that use metal properties like thickness, density, cutting speed, and fume generation rate to calculate an emission factor and potential emissions in pounds per hour and tons per year. Yellow boxes throughout require input of specific information about the facility and process to complete the calculations. The purpose is to estimate both potential and actual emissions to determine if the facility is operating within applicable permit limits.

POTENTIAL EMISSIONS - PM2.5 / PM10 SCC: 30903008


Emission Factor Equation from the Swedish Institute of Production Engineering Research (http://www.epa.gov/ttnchie1/efdocs/welding.pdf)

Cutting Technique: Note: Semidry = water about 50 mm under plate, Wet = burner 70mm below water surface
Metal Thickness: inch Density Converter
Kerf: inch Note: Kerf = width of the cut Type of Metal
Metal Cutting Speed: inch/min Note: used as the Maximium Desing Rate in INV-3 Spec.Grav. #N/A
Metal Density: #N/A lb/in3 = lb/in3 #N/A
Fume Generation: #N/A % of particulate generated
Hours of Operation: 8760 hrs/yr
Control Efficiency % Note: Fabric Filter = 95%,

Emission Factor (lb/in)= Metal Density (lb/in3) x Metal Thickness (in) x Average Kerf (in) x Fume Generation
Emission Factor (lb/in) = #N/A lb/inch

Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) = Metal Travel Speed (in/min) x Number of units x 60 min/hr
Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) = 0 inches/hr

Emissions (lb/hr) = Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) x Emission Factor (lb/inch)


Emissions (lb/hr) = #N/A lb/hr Uncontrolled #N/A lb/hr Controlled

Emissions (TPY) = Emissions (lb/hr) x Hours of Operation (hr/yr) x Control Efficiency / 2000 lb/ton
Emissions (TPY) = #N/A tons/yr

ACTUAL EMISSIONS - PM2.5 / PM10

Metal Thickness: inch


Kerf: inch
Metal Cutting Speed: inches/min
Metal Density: #N/A lb/in3
Fume Generation: #N/A % of particulate generated
Total Metal Cut inches/yr If unknown leave blank and enter hours of operation for the calendar year
Hours of Operation: hrs/yr Enter hours of operation for the calendar year only if inches/yr is unknown
Control Efficiency %

Emission Factor (lb/in)= Metal Density (lb/in3) x Metal Thickness (in) x Average Kerf (in) x Fume Generation
Emission Factor (lb/in) = #N/A lb/inch

Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) = Metal Travel Speed (in/min) x Number of units x 60 min/hr
Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) = 0 inches/hr

Emissions (lb/hr) = Metal Feed Rate (in/hr) x Emission Factor (lb/inch)


Emissions (lb/hr) = #N/A lb/hr

Emissions (TPY) = Emissions (lb/hr) x Hours of Operation (hr/yr) x Control Efficiency / 2000 lb/ton
Emissions (TPY) = #N/A tons/yr
