Abstract
The main work items of Stationary air pollution source control project are as
follows: (1) Database establishment, maintenance and updates. (2) Stationary
Sources Permits application documents examining and issuing, including permit
inspection. (3) Annual emissions quantities check for the premises which have been
announced in 2 batches. (4) Using standard air pollutant testing method to inspect
plumes of stationary sources. (5) Reinforcing control of fugitive particulate
emissions. (6) Holding meetings for related policies or law announcement. (7)
Reinforcing control of dioxin. (8) Reinforcing control of the premises odor
complaints regarding stationary sources from citizens. (9) Audit of Continuous
Emission Monitoring Systems. (10) Other work items.
This project, started from 4th February 2015 till 3rd February 2016, was
empowered by a contract which issued by the Bureau of Environmental Protection,
Tainan County. We completed all work items before deadline. In order to make
sure that the quality and quantity both met the requirements of the contract, we
attended the monthly meeting of the Bureau, and followed internal QAQC plan.
Schedule and quality of every work items also had been reviewed by the State
Implement Plan, in order to ensure all requirements were met. Summaries of work
items are as follows:
1. Database establishment, maintenance and updates
The goal of this work item is to maintain and update the emission inventory of 725
plants and to add new emission inventory of 30 plants in database. We maintained
and updated the emission inventory of 738 plants and added new emission inventory
of 33 plants in database.
By the end of the project, annual emission quantities of different pollutants from
stationary sources in Tainan City are as follows: 2,678 tons of particles, 3,445.7 tons
of SOx, 4,720.8 tons of NOx and 3,011.1 tons of VOCs.
2. Stationary Sources Permits application documents examining and issuing,
including permit inspection.
373 permits were issued, including 49 installation permits, 15 modified permits,
49 operation permits, 133 change permits, 70 renewed permits, 49 re-issued permits
and 8 coal-fired permits. The average review duration of the application documents
was 14.8 days. 211 cases of air pollution qualified persons replacement were
proposed and approved. For 15 significant cases of permit application, experts
review was introduced to validate the content of the documents.
Periodic inspection for operation permits has been performed for 734 operation
permits. Among them, 79 operation permits didn’t meet the contents of permits, and
the discrepancy of inspection was 10.76%. Furthermore, the plants were asked to
modify and improve the inconformity. 79 plants proposed their modification or
changes.
3. Annual emissions quantities check for the premises which have been announced
in 2 batches.
376 premises are required to report emission inventory seasonally by regulation in
Tainan City. (96 of them are announced in first batch, and 280 of them are 2nd batch.)
The reporting rate, for a total of 1454 reports, is 100% from 4th quarter, 2014 till 3st
quarter, 2016. We also checked all reports and found that 1406 of them (96.7%)
were correct, 48 of them (3.3%) were asked to improve within a limited time.
On-site inspection for the reports was conducted on 312 premises; 89.4% of them
proved correct (279 premises), 10.6% of premises, which was asked to improve
within a limited time, showed discrepancy. We found that on-site records of raw
materials didn’t match the reports were the main reasons, a total of 15 premises
(42.86%), of inconformity. 36 premises report their emission inventory of Green
House Gas (GHG) seasonally. (21 of them are announced in first batch, 11 of them
are 2nd batch and 4 of them are volunteer to report their emission inventory of GHG.)
The reporting rate, for a total of 144 reports, is 100% from 4th quarter, 2014 till 3st
quarter, 2016. We reviewed all reports and found them correct.
4. Using standard air pollutant testing method to inspect plumes of stationary
sources.
We performed 18 plumes for SOx, NOx and particulate testing, 8 plumes for
dioxin testing, 5 plumes for heavy metal(Pd, Cd, Hg and As) testing, and total
suspended particulate testing in ambient air on boundary of 12 public or private
premises. We also took 30 fuel samples from different plants to check if the sulfur
content in the sample met the standard. Testing results of the total suspended
particulate in ambient air on boundary of 4 public or private premises were not in
compliance with standards, others testing results were in compliance with standards.

5. Control of Fugitive Dust Air Pollution from Stationary Pollution Sources.
This work item is to inspect the premises which have been specified by
Management Regulations of Air Pollution Control Facilities for Fugitive Particulate
Emissions of Stationary Source and to help them improving the discrepancy. 214
patrols were paid and 195 of them met the regulation, the compliance rate of the
regulation was 91%.
6. Holding assemblies.
4 assemblies were held during this period. Besides, for on-job training, three
sessions were completed.
7. Control of Dioxin emissions
On-site inspection works had been performed on 52 plants with 69 stacks and 2 of
them were under Dioxin monitoring span supervision. The results demonstrated all of
them could meet the requirement and emission standard.
8. Odor complains from citizens
Periodical check for the frequent odor complains factories list of stationary
sources.
9. Other work items
(1)10 articles regarding environmental protection were posted in newspapers.
(2)To cooperate with polices and attorneys for comprehensive inspection for 4
times and checking the gravel trucks for cover net pulling compliance policy for 8
times.
(3)To help determining if plumes meet the 8D/2D requirements when applying
permits as well as if they should apply for permits.
(4)To submit and summarize the work results as the Environmental Protection
Administration (Taiwan) and the State Implement Plan required
