If you were starting from scratch, how would you approach evaluating the amount of emissions occuring from a batch reactor that processed different chemicals?
I have about a dozen reactors to do this for, each of which produce several different chemicals throughout the year. I'm starting small and doing one reactor. I have a production number of total pounds made last year, and the number of days each reactor was used per chemical. I figure if I get the typical lb/batch, I can calculate how many batches there are made. Would then doing a material balance around the reactor be a sufficient estimate?
We don't have source test information on all of the reactors for emission factors.
