1 Is Method 1664A Silica Gel Treated N-Hexane Extractable Material (SGT-HEM: Non- Polar Materials) a Measure of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons? Dr. Michael W. Miller, NJ DEP Office of Quality Assurance; Michael S. Wright, TRC Omi Environmental Corp. Dr. Alexander M. Allen, ConocoPhillips Bayway Refinery; Boguslaw Dudek, ConocoPhillips Bayway Refinery Contact: M.W. Miller, NJDEP-OQA, P.O.B. 424, Trenton, NJ 08625, miller1@dep.state.nj.us

2 TPH Defined Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) is defined by U.S. EPA Method Method 418.1, Aqueous Matrix TPH extracted with Freon 113 Silica Gel Clean-up Extract analyzed by IR Spectroscopy Method can not be used for gasoline

3 Freon 113 Restrictions Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, required by Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 Effective January 1, 2002, laboratories are no longer allowed to purchase Freon 113 that was produced or imported after December 31, 2001 for laboratory analysis

4 Freon 113 Restrictions Recycled Freon will be allowed until 2005 Method requires a quality of Freon 113 that may not be readily available in recycled form

5 Freon 113 Replacement Development of GC methods SW846 Method 8015B GRO, GC/FID Petroleum with carbon numbers C8-C40 NJ OQA-QAM-025 FL TPH SW846 Method 8015B DRO, GC/FID C12-C28

6 Solvent Replacement The USEPA evaluated replacement solvents for Freon 113 and determined that n-hexane had similar extraction properties. Method O&G Development of a method with a gravimetric determinative procedure, USEPA Method 1664A n-hexane Extractable Materials (HEM)

7 USEPA Method 1664A n-hexane Extractable Materials (HEM) Liquid-Liquid and alternatively a solid phase extraction procedure (HEM-SPE) Treating the n-hexane extract with silica gel, 1664A Silica Gel Treated n-hexane Extracted Material (SGT-HEM) Extract is called Non-Polar Material (NPM) Non-Polar Material does not equal Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons.

22 Conclusions: Discharge Side by Side Comparison A direct correlation was not established between the results from method and method 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE Each method produce higher or lower results based on sample conditions Biological oxidation and extended aeration, are used to treat the Bayway wastewater prior to discharge Discharge expected to contain only higher weight organic compounds, EPA1664A SGT-HEM-SPE should be considered suitable for quantification At an evaporation temperature of 28 C, the mean recovery of the modeled discharge material (diesel fuel standard) was 85.8%

23 Conclusions: Temp. Dependence 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE PHC compounds with carbon numbers as low as C12 can be recovered using an evaporation temp. 28 C At 45 C method 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE is not suitable for PHC compounds with carbon numbers less than C A SGT-HEM-SPE distillation procedure for recovering NPM from n-hexane extract cannot be use for materials with Mol. Wts. similar to diesel or #2/3 fuel oil

24 Conclusions Method and Method 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE are empirical methods designed to measure a mixture of compounds Molecular Weight distribution of discharge should be known The recovery of NPM in Method 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE is Temperature dependent Since every discharge has different composition a comparison study should be performed between Method and Method 1664A SGT-HEM-SPE
