H. The price adjustments shall be added together to arrive at a net overall negative, positive, or zero
price correction per ton. This net price correction shall be entered in the small block just to the left of
the analyst's signature block.
I.
The above derived "price correction" (price per ton) shall be multiplied by the total invoice weight in
tons to arrive at an overall price adjustment for the total tonnage represented on that fuel slip.
J.
Contractor will be required to make a calculation based on the actual fuel analysis to determine
calculated sulfur dioxide emission rate for boiler combustion of the fuel represented by each sample.
The sulfur dioxide emission rate calculation formula for solid fuels is:
E = 38 x (S)
H.V.
Where
S=
Sulfur content (as received analysis basis) written as percent by weight, i.e., 0.81%
= 0.81 numeric entry.
H.V. = Heating Value (as received analysis basis) expressed in units of million Btu per ton,
i.e., 13,100 Btu/lb. = 26.2 x 106 Btu/ton = 26.2 numeric entry.
E=
Resultant emission rate of sulfur dioxide expressed in units of pounds of SO2 per
million Btu heating value of the coal.
Example Calculation - Actual analysis results (as received basis):
Sulfur = 0.81%,
Btu/lb. = 13,100
E = 38 x (0.81) = 1.21 lbs. SO2 per million Btu
26.2
The number value 1.21 would then be entered in the appropriate space on the analysis reporting
form (coal slip).
K.
Contractor shall sign and date the slip upon completion of that slip (analysis and calculations, etc.)
as indicated.

A portion of each "as received" sample shall be retained for a period of 90 days after
mailing the analysis, for any possible fuel vendor audit or concern. If directed by the State of
Wisconsin, the primary laboratory shall forward to the secondary laboratory the remaining portion
of the contested "as received" sample for verification analysis. If the results of the verification
analysis are within the reproducibility of the results limits for each procedure as contained in the
latest ASTM Standards, all costs for the secondary lab analysis will be assumed by the State. If
the results are outside of those limits, the primary laboratory will be responsible for these costs.

D. Analysis results are to be reported on the contract laboratory's standard letterhead type form. All
analyses/reports are to be numbered beginning with analysis number DFO-1 and run chronologically
DFO-2, DFO-3, etc. as the requests for analyses are received by the laboratory. Reports must clearly
identify the sample origination (facility/location) and specify the ASTM methods used.
E. Contractor will be required to make a simple calculation from the actual fuel analysis results in order to
determine a calculated sulfur dioxide emission rate for boiler combustion of the fuel represented by each
sample. The sulfur dioxide emission rate calculation formula for Distillate Fuel Oils is:
E = 142 x (S)
H.V.
Where
S=
Sulfur content (as received analysis basis) written as percent by weight, i.e.,
0.4% = 0.4 numeric entry.
H.V. =
Heating Value (as received analysis basis) expressed in units of million Btu
per thousand gallons, i.e., 138,000 Btu/Gallon = 138 x 106 Btu/103 Gal. = 138
numeric entry.
E=
Resultant emission rate of sulfur dioxide expressed in units of pounds of SO2
per million Btu heating value of the distillate fuel oil.
Example Calculation - Actual analysis results (as received basis):
Sulfur = 0.35%,
Btu/lb. = 136,500
E = 142 x (0.35) = 0.36 lbs. SO2 per million Btu
136.5
This result (0.36 lbs. SO2 per million Btu) would then be reported on the laboratory reporting form
along with other required analysis parameters.
F.
Reports shall be promptly sent to the Bureau of Engineering & Technology as indicated in
paragraph I.-L. above.
