Preliminary Characterization Study

Traditional Fuels and Key Derivatives

Prepared in Support of the

Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking –

Identification of Nonhazardous Materials That Are Solid Waste

December 11, 2008

Introduction

	This document summarizes the features, composition, and characteristics
of both traditional fuels used in stationary combustion sources and
their key derivatives.  Traditional fuels include fossil fuels (coal,
fuel oil and natural gas) and wood.  Derivatives include:

Coal-based derivatives: bituminous coke, coal tar oil, blast furnace
gas, and coke oven gas, and

Petroleum-based derivatives: petroleum coke, refinery gas, and asphalts.

	For each fuel, this memorandum presents the following information to
the extent readily available:

Chemical Composition. Fuels are often described by an ultimate and/or
proximate analysis. An ultimate analysis is an elemental analysis of
major components, typically carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and
sulfur as well as ash. Meanwhile a proximate analysis determines the
moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content of the fuel.
Gaseous fuels and some liquid fuels can also be described by their
constituent compounds.  In general, the compositional analysis is
presented on a weight basis for liquid and solid fuels and on a
volumetric basis for gaseous fuels.

Heating Value (Calorific Value).  The heating value of a fuel is its
energy value or its heat of combustion (i.e., the energy released when a
unit mass (or volume) of the fuel is burned).  The heating value of a
fuel may be measured according to its higher heating value (HHV) or its
lower heating value (LHV). The HHV, or the gross heat of combustion, is
the energy released when the products of combustion are brought to a
standard temperature and any water produced from the process is
condensed.  The LHV, also referred to as the net heat of combustion,
treats the moisture produced from combustion as vapor. Unless specified
otherwise, all heating values presented in this document are HHVs and
will be presented on an as-received basis (i.e., with moisture and ash
included).

Composition of Non-Fuel Constituents and Impurities.  Non- fuel
constituents include gases with no fuel value such as nitrogen, carbon
dioxide and inert gases as well as moisture and ash. Impurities (i.e.,
contaminants) may include sulfur compounds and trace metals such as
mercury, vanadium, cadmium, chromium and lead. Impurity levels are
typically presented as parts per million by weight (ppm) or parts per
million by volume (ppmv)

We present this information by the major fuel groupings outlined above.
Section 2 describes coal and its derivatives. Petroleum-derived fuels
are detailed in Section 3, while Section 4 presents information on
natural gas.  Section 5 provides the composition and other
characteristics of wood.

Limitations of this Analysis:

This document presents information that is readily available from
engineering reference publications and reputable online sources. A
search of scientific, peer-reviewed journals was not performed due to
time and budget constraints.

When possible, we present composition and heating values that are
representative of the values associated with a given fuel.  However, for
some fuels where the available data were limited, we present data from
specific samples that were readily available.  These sample data may or
may not be representative.

Coal & Derivatives

       Coal

The ASTM (Method D-388) classification for coal ranks coal into four
primary classes based on its volatile matter and fixed carbon content as
well as its heating value.  The four categories (highest to lowest rank)
are:

Anthracite

Bituminous

Sub-bituminous

Lignite

Each of these classes is further divided into subclasses by the ASTM
classification. In general the higher rank coals have higher carbon
content and lower hydrogen and oxygen content in comparison to the lower
ranked coals. Most coals burned in combustion units are either
sub-bituminous or bituminous.

Anthracite: Anthracite coal is glossy black, hard, and by definition has
a fixed carbon content of more than 86% (dry, ash free basis) and a
volatile content of less than 14% (dry, ash free basis). Heating values
typically are on the order of 13,000 Btu/lb. Anthracite coal is
primarily found in northeastern Pennsylvania, and represents less than
2% of the US coal demonstrated reserve base.

Bituminous:  Bituminous coal in general has lower fixed carbon (<86%,
dry, ash free) and higher volatiles than anthracite.  This coal has
banded layers that alternate between glossy black and dull black.
Heating values for bituminous coal range from 10,500 to 14,000 Btu/lb.
Bituminous coals are the most abundant class of coal in the US and make
up 53% of the demonstrated US coal reserve.  Bituminous coal is found in
many states east of the Mississippi River, including Illinois, Kentucky,
West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Sub-bituminous: These coals are also black in color but with less
banding and a higher moisture content than bituminous coals.  Heating
values range from 8,500 to 11,000 Btu/lb. Although heating values are
lower than for bituminous coal, sub-bituminous varieties in the US tend
to have a relatively lower sulfur content than bituminous coals.
Sub-bituminous coal represents approximately 37% of US coal reserves;
sub-bituminous reserves are highest in the states of Montana and
Wyoming.

Lignite: This is the lowest ranked coal. Lignite has a brown-black color
and is soft relative to the other types of coal. Heating values may
range from 4000-8000 Btu/lb.  Lignite is found in North Dakota, Montana
and Texas and accounts for about 9% of US coal reserves.

	Table 2-1 presents composition and heating value data from Avallone &
Baumeister for select US Coals for each of the classes described above.,
 Note that the data in Table 2-1 are sample values; properties may vary
widely within each rank.

Chemical Composition. As indicated in Table 2-1, most ranks of coal
consist primarily of carbon.

Non- Fuel Constituents. Moisture and ash represent the non-combustible
constituents in coal. The primary components of ash are silicon dioxide,
aluminum oxide, ferric oxide, and calcium oxide. (See Table 2-1)

Contaminants. One trace constituent of particular concern in coal is
mercury.  The mercury content of coal ranges from less than 0.1 ppm to
1.8 ppm with a median value of 0.11 ppm.  Approximately 80% of samples
tested below 0.25 ppm. Coal may also contain several other metals such
as arsenic, chromium and manganese as shown in Table 2-1.

Trace Organics: Data on trace organics in U.S. coal are not readily
available. One study from Spain, however, analyzed five Spanish and
South African coal samples for volatile organics. Of the several
organics detected, only two were 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII hazardous
constituents. Results for these two organics are shown in Table 2-1.

Additional information on the characteristics of coal is available in
the US Geological Survey coal quality database, which has information on
over 7,000 Coal samples.

     Fuels Derived from Coal

Bituminous Coke – Bituminous coke is derived from the destructive
distillation or pyrolysis of bituminous coal.  This involves heating
coal to very high temperatures (over 1000 °C) in the absence of air in
a furnace.  Much of the moisture and volatile components are driven off
leaving behind a product high in carbon. While coke is the desired end
product of the distillation/pyrolysis process, fuel gases, tar and oil
with fuel value are also typically produced.  A large fraction of
bituminous coke (approximately 90%) is burned in blast furnaces for
steelmaking. The remainder is largely used in foundries and for space
heating.

Table 2-2 shows the typical chemical composition and heating value of
bituminous coke.  Unsurprisingly, the fixed carbon and ash content are
much higher than the corresponding values for coal. The heating value of
bituminous coke is comparable to coal.  Table 2-2 also presents
composition and heating value estimates for coke breeze, an undersized
coke (particle size < 15 mm), comprising  about 5% of the total
bituminous coke production.  Coke breeze is not suitable for firing in a
blast furnace but is typically used for steam generation.  Information
on the impurities contained in blast furnace coke is not readily
available, but such information is available for coke breeze, as shown
in Table 2-2.

Coal Tar Oil: Coal tars are liquid products of the carbonization
process to produce coke. They may range from free-flowing, low viscosity
liquids to highly viscous coal tar pitch.

Table 2-3 shows an ultimate analysis of coal tar fuels CTF 50 and CTF
400.,   The table also presents estimates of the heating value for CTF
50 and CTF 400, as well as information on the non-fuel constituents and
trace metals in these fuels.

Table 2-3 also presents viscosity values for CTF 50 and CTF 40,
expressed in centistokes (cSt). For comparison, water has a viscosity of
about 1 cSt at 20°C and a liquid with a viscosity of 2 cSt at 20°
would have twice the viscosity of water.

Because coal tar oil is made up of a complex mixture of more than a
thousand individual compounds, fractional distillation of coal tar oil
can yield a spectrum of compounds for use in resins, polymers, motor
fuel, wax and electrode compounds.

Coke Oven Gas: Coke oven gas is the gaseous non-condensable fraction
generated from the coke production process.  As the analysis (by
component) in Table 2-4 shows, coke oven gas is primarily composed of
hydrogen and methane. The heating value is approximately 600 Btu/ft3 and
is about 55-60% that for natural gas (on a volume basis).

Impurities in coke oven gas may include hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and
hydrogen cyanide.,  Table 2-4 also shows the specific gravity of coke
oven gas.

Blast Furnace Gas:  Blast furnace gas is a low quality gas that is a
by-product of the blast furnace reduction process. Table 2-4 presents
volumetric composition and heating value estimates for this fuel.
Although the heating value is low, the amount of gas generated by blast
furnaces makes it economically feasible to recover the energy.  The
energy value is low because approximately 70% of the volume of this fuel
is made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide.  Blast furnace gas may
include small quantities of impurities including hydrogen cyanide.
Table 2-4 also shows the specific gravity of blast furnace gas. Blast
furnace gas is either burnt as fuel or flared.

Petroleum Fuels

This section presents characterization data for fuels produced by
petroleum refineries as well as their derivatives.  Although
transportation fuels (e.g., gasoline and diesel) make up most of the
petroleum-based fuel sold in the U.S., this section focuses on petroleum
fuels utilized by stationary combustion sources.

Fuel Oil

The term fuel oil may refer to any product derived from petroleum that
has volatility lower than that of gasoline. The ASTM D396-2(a)
specification divides fuel oil into several classes, from fuel oil No.1
to fuel oil No. 6, based on boiling range, composition, and other
physical properties.  Fuel oils are generally classified as either
distillate or residual based on whether they are vaporized in normal
refining operations. Usually, fuel oils No. 1 and 2 are distillate
fuels; No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils are residual fuels, and No.4 is a blend
of distillate and residual fuels.  Note that diesel has similar but not
identical properties and specifications to fuel oil No.2.

Table 3-1 provides the chemical composition, heating values, and typical
physical properties of various classes of fuel oil such as flash point,
specific gravity, API gravity, and viscosity.  The flash point is the
temperature to which the liquid must be heated to produce vapors that
flash but do not burn continuously.  API gravity is calculated by:

Composition: Fuel oils are primarily composed of hydrocarbons,
specifically paraffins, isoparafins, napthenes and aromatics. Table 3-1
shows an ultimate analysis for different types of fuel oil from Perry et
al.

Heating Values. Fuel oil heating values range from 18,000 to 20,000
Btu/lb or 130,000 to 150,000 Btu/gallon. As indicated in the table,
residual fuel oils are extremely viscous and must be heated in order to
be transported and atomized in a burner.

Moving along the scale from No. 1 fuel oil to No. 6 fuel oil, the
characteristics of fuel oil changes as follows:

The boiling point increases. For No. 1 oil, the boiling points of the
different constituents range from 150-300 °C, while for No. 6 oil this
range is 200-550 °C.

The density increases (i.e., API gravity decreases)

Viscosity increases from an average of about 1.8 centistokes (cSt) for
No. 1 Oil to 90-400 cSt for No. 6 oil.

Heating values decrease slightly.

Impurities: As indicated in Table 3-1, the heavier fuel oils have higher
levels of sulfur than the lighter fuel oils.  The trace metal levels
shown in the table are from testing performed in 1998 for the
development of the comparable fuels specification, which was published
in 1999.  This testing involved eleven samples for No. 2 fuel oil, one
sample of #1 fuel oil, and seven samples of #6 fuel oil.  Note that
Perry et al. indicate that the nickel content of No. 6 Fuel Oil ranges
from 10-500 ppm and that vanadium concentrations in No. 6 Fuel Oil range
from 10-500 ppm.

Trace Organics: In developing the specifications for comparable fuels,
EPA tested samples of fuel oil for most of the hazardous organics listed
in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR Part 261.  Specifications were developed for
almost 200 individual volatile and semi-volatile toxic organic compounds
(including hydrocarbons, oxygenates, nitrogenated organics, sulfonated
organics, halogenated organics, and PCBs). Table 3-1 includes the
concentrations for the Appendix VIII organics that were detected.

Other Petroleum Derivatives

Petroleum Coke – Petroleum coke is produced when vacuum distillation
residues from the petroleum refining process are sent through a coker
where most of the volatiles are burned off.  Petroleum coke may be
called delayed coke or fluid coke, depending on the type of
process/reactor used.  Table 3-2 provides an ultimate and proximate
analysis for petroleum coke based on data from Avallone & Baumeister and
Stultz & Kitto.

Petroleum coke is used as the primary fuel or as supplementary fuel in
fluidized bed boilers as well as a supplementary fuel in pulverized coal
boilers and cyclone boilers.

Table 3-2 also provides a detailed ash analysis for petroleum coke.  As
indicated in the table, nickel and  vanadium levels are high similar to
the residual fuel oils because heavy metals tend to concentrate in the
heavier fraction of crude oil from which petroleum coke is produced.

Refinery Gas – Refinery gas is a general term describing the
non-condensable fractions from various refinery processes, including
atmospheric distillation, coking, reforming and cracking.  These gases
are sometimes blended together and are typically used by refineries for
their energy value.

The composition of refinery gas is highly variable, although the primary
constituents are C1-C4 hydrocarbons (methane, ethane and propane in
particular).  Table 3-3- presents composition information for two
blended refinery gas samples and composition data from a 2003 lifecycle
emissions study.,

Estimated heating values for refinery gas are on the order of 1300-1500
Btu/scf.   On a volume basis this is a little higher than natural gas
because refinery gas contains a greater fraction of heavier gases.

Asphalts – Asphalt is made from the residue that remains after the
vacuum distillation process at petroleum refineries.  It has a
consistency ranging from a viscous liquid to a glassy solid.  Table 3-4
presents an ultimate analysis range for four asphalt samples.
Impurities include sulfur, vanadium and nickel and their reported
concentrations are highly dependent on the source crude.  Heating values
for asphalt are on the order of 17,000-18,000 Btu/lb.

Asphalt is primarily used as a paving and roofing material.  Asphalt is
also used in asphalt-based paints, in lining irrigation canals and water
reservoirs, and in adhesives in electrical laminates. Although the use
of asphalt as a fuel is not common, boilers have been designed to burn
asphalt.

Natural Gas

Natural gas is widely used by boilers due to its low content of ash,
ease of handling, and ease of combustion.  In addition, natural gas is a
cleaner burning fuel than other fossil fuels.  The primary constituent
of natural gas is methane.  Other paraffinic hydrocarbons such as
ethane, propane, and butane, as well as other diluents gases (e.g.,
nitrogen), may be also present.  The composition of natural gas field
samples as well as pipeline gas is shown in Table 4-1.

Heating Value: The heating value of natural gas, like its composition,
varies by region but usually is in the range from 950-1150 Btu per cubic
feet.  Diluents include carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

Impurities: Trace contaminants found in natural gas include hydrogen
sulfide and other sulfur compounds. If naturally occurring levels are
high, these compounds are removed using various processes because most
pipeline specifications limit the level of sulfur compounds that may be
contained in pipeline gas.   Other impurities may include mercury in
very low levels. As Table 4-1 indicates, mercury levels are well below
one part per billion (ppbv).  Trace levels of odorants (eg. mercaptans)
are often added to pipeline gas, which allows natural gas leaks to be
easily detected.

Trace organics:  Only limited information on the organics content of
natural gas was readily available.  The one organics analysis identified
examined volatile organics concentrations in natural gas samples from
three California utility plants. Only two 40 CFR 261 Appendix VIII
hazardous organics were detected. (See Table 4-1).

Wood

Wood is burned primarily in industries where wood residues are obtained
as a by-product.

Table 5-1 shows the properties of wood on a dry basis and an ash
analysis based on data from Stultz & Kitto.  Wood has a lower carbon
content and a much higher oxygen content compared to coal.

Heating values for wood (on a dry basis) are in the range 8000-9000
Btu/lb.  Wet wood can have a significantly lower heating value.  As
indicated in Table 5-1, the sulfur content of wood is relatively low.
Trace metals in wood may include lead and cadmium.

 For example a typical ultimate analysis might be: 60% carbon, 15%
hydrogen, 10% oxygen, 3% nitrogen, 2% sulfur, and 10% ash. Ash, while
part of the ultimate analysis, is shown separately because it represents
a fraction of the fuel that does not burn.

 CTF stands for coal tar fuel. The designation CTF 50 and CTF 400
indicate the temperature to which the oil must be pre-heated (50 °F and
400°F, respectively) in order to be atomized in a burner.

 Viscosity values shown is for kinematic viscosity = dynamic
viscosity/density.  Note viscosity decreases with temperature for
liquids.

within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review (NSER). If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's
issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for
this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a NSER will serve to notify
federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all
necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
    Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must
file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate.
Such motions or protests must be filed on or before the comment date.
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of
that document on the Applicant, on or before the comment date. It is
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link

C. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), DOT solicits comments
from the public on the exemption request. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records
notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.
    This standard was adopted in 1970 and was revised in 1971 to allow
drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a hearing
aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (Apr. 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3, 1971).
    The 40 individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal of
their exemptions from the hearing standard in Sec.  391.41(b)(11), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated
these applications for renewal on their merits and decided to extend
each exemption for a renewable 2-year period.

III. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each of the 40
applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the hearing requirement. The 40 drivers in this notice
remain in good standing with the Agency. In addition, for commercial
driver's license (CDL) holders, the Commercial Driver's License
Information System and the Motor Carrier Management Information System
are searched for crash and violation data. For non-CDL holders, the
Agency reviews the driving records from the State Driver's Licensing
Agency. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each
driver's ability to continue to safely operate a CMV in interstate
commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for
each of these drivers for a period of 2 years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of June and
are discussed below.
    As of June 17, 2022, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) each driver must report any crashes or accidents as defined in
Sec.  390.5; and (2) report all citations and convictions for
disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR 383 and 49 CFR 391 to FMCSA; and
(3) each driver prohibited from operating a motorcoach or bus with
passengers in interstate commerce. The driver must also have a copy of
the exemption when driving, for presentation to a duly authorized
Federal, State, or local enforcement official. In addition, the
exemption does not exempt the individual from meeting the applicable
CDL testing requirements. Each exemption will be valid for 2 years
unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if:
(1) the person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the
exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety
than was maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the
exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b).

VI. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VII. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 40 exemption applications, FMCSA
renews the exemptions of the aforementioned drivers from the hearing
requirement in Sec.  391.41(b)(11). In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b), each exemption will be valid for 2 years unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) the applicant was qualified to perform the
proposed operations; (2) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any

1 To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government requirements
concerning security, the holder should, before commencing any new
service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that would be
the holder’s last point of departure for the United States, contact
its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of its plans
and to find out whether the Transportation Security Administration has
determined that security is adequate to allow such airport(s) to be
served.

  Guyana is currently a Category 2 country under the FAA’s
International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA).
