0823-Engine PTE Calculator
0823-Engine PTE Calculator
This tool is intended to be used for estimating the PTE (potential to emit) from engines and to help evaluate the need for an air permit
under Kansas air quality regulations. Emission factors used come primarily from EPA AP42 (https://www.epa.gov/air-emissions-factors-
and-quantification/ap-42-compilation-air-emissions-factors). If you have emission data from the engine manufacturer, it is recommended
you use that information; the spreadsheet is set up to allow you to input your own data.
The spreadsheet is "protected" for all cells where text is not shaded in blue. This is to reduce chances of incorrectly changing formulas.
If you would like to make a change (such as increase the width of a column), click on "Review" at the top of the Excel window, then on
"Unprotect sheet." No password is required.
While every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of this tool, please contact the Kansas Small Business Environmental Assistance
Program (SBEAP) if you have suggestions for improvement, find discrepancies, or have related questions and comments. SBEAP does
not guarantee accuracy of the information contained. This spreadsheet is subject to continual revision and updating. Call 800-578-8898
or email [email protected].
1b) Much of the information you enter will be limited using the options in a drop-down table (see screenshot to the right). If an option that you need
isn't available, pleae contact SBEAP for assistance.
1c) You can enter information for up to 15 different engines, including up to 15 engines with manufacturer-specific emission factors. In order to
make this spreadsheet easier to view, the default is to only show the first five engines. To add more than five, you will first need to unhide
columns. Instructions on how to do this are shown below.
1d) If you would like to change the sulfur content of diesel and natural gas, that can be changed on the Emission Factors tab in the blue cells.
2b) In the "PTE Results" section on the PTE Emissions tab, you can review the PTE for each engine and compare it to the permitting thresholds,
which can be found on the Data&Conversions tab.
2c) You can review the emission and conversion factors used on the Emission Factors and Data&Conversions tabs. Remember, if you have
emission data from the engine manufacturer, it is recommended you use that information.

Note 1: Johnson and Wyandotte Counties were once non-attainment for ozone; they are now in a maintenance area and are subject to lower VOC thresholds for
construction approvals. The thresholds are 15 lbs/24 hrs and 3 lbs/hour, both of which must be met.
- Is facility located in Johnson or Wyandotte county? Yes
Note 2: To add more engines, you will need to unhide columns. Click the triangle in the top left (near cell A1). Then click on the "Home" tab. Next click on "Format,"
"Hide & Unhide," and then "Unhide Columns." See screenshots on the "Instructions" tab for more detail.
Note 3: Potential to emit is based on 24/7 operation 8,760 hours/year. For emergency engines, 500 hours is used.
