(Combustion Analysis)

(a). The volumetric flow rate of the air (m3 /min) fed to the boiler;

(b). The flue gas molar composition on a dry basis, reporting all constituents to the nearest 0.001% and assuming complete combustion of the fuel oil; and

(c). The dew point temperature (°C) of the combustion flue gas, if the pressure exiting the boiler stack is 200 kPa.

(d). The mass flow rate of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted from the boiler, in metric tons per day, assuming complete combustion of the fuel oil.
