US Nitrogen Reports No Excess Emissions

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

An eastern Tennessee chemical firm has submitted data showing that limits for nitrogen oxide emissions were not exceeded in the most recent quarter.
The data which was submitted to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation covered emissions from US Nitrogen's nitric acid plant and a steam boiler facility at its Midway location.
TDEC officials in letters dated Monday acknowledged receipt of the test results.
In the letter Bryan Parker, a TDEC manager, told Dylan Charles, US Nitrogen's plant manager, the reports were "technically correct and acceptable for a determination of compliance."
Parker noted that the data showed that at no time during the quarter were limits exceeded.
He added that the data showed the monitoring equipment achieved "95 per cent operational availability."
Parker concluded the letters by stating that the US Nitrogen submissions fulfill the reporting requirements of the company permits.
