The following data are from the U.S. EPA AP-42 emission factors for malt beverages. For a closed fermenter, fermenter venting CO2 = 2,100, VOC (ethanol) = 2.0, and hydrogen sulfide, H2S = 0.015. The units for the emission factors in the EPA tables are in lbs of pollutant per 1000 barrels (bbl). A brewery produces about 7 million barrels of product per year. Estimate the emissions of

a. Kg of carbon dioxide per year from fermenter venting
b. Kg of VOCs (ethanol) per year from fermenter venting
c. Kg of hydrogen sulfide per year from fermenter venting
