The best bet would be to use emission factors published by the US EPA. These give emissions uncontrolled per ton of fuel burnt viz kg of SPM/1000Kg of Fuel Oil .
Use to calculate the individual load add emissions from both Fuel OIl and Gas (you can neglect PM emissions for practical purpose).
Calculate the flue gas quantity (which depends on - Combustion air + excess air + Fuel in Tonns or Kg ) calculate the Normal M3 of flue gasses.
Divide the Kg of PM emissions ( Gas + Fuel Oil) obtained from emission factors by the NM3 to get Kg/NM3.
Multiply by 1000,000 to get mg/NM3 of particulates.
