For these operating parameters

You must establish these operating limits

And monitor using these minimum frequencies

Data measurement

Data recording b

Data averaging period for compliance

All sewage sludge incineration units

Every 15 minutes

12-hour block.

Fugitive emissions from ash handling

Site-specific operating requirements

Not applicable

No applicable

Not applicable.

Scrubber

Pressure drop across each wet scrubber.

Minimum pressure drop

Continuous

Every 15 minutes

12-hour block.

Scrubber liquid flow rate

Minimum flow rate

Every 15 minutes

12-hour block.

Scrubber liquid pH

Minimum pH

Continuous

Every 15 minutes

3-hour block.

Fabric Filter

Alarm time of the bag leak detection system alarm.

Maximum alarm time of the bag leak detection system alarm (this operating limit is provided in § 60.4850 and is not established on a site-specific basis)

Electrostatic precipitator

Secondary voltage of the electrostatic precipitator collection plates.

Minimum power input to the electrostatic precipitator collection plates.

Continuous

Hourly

12-hour block.

Secondary amperage of the electrostatic precipitator collection plates.

Effluent water flow rate at the outlet of the electrostatic precipitator.

Minimum effluent water flow rate at the outlet of the electrostatic precipitator.

Hourly

Hourly

12-hour block.

Activated carbon injection

Mercury sorbent injection rate

Minimum mercury sorbent injection rate.

Hourly

Hourly

12-hour block.

Dioxin/furan sorbent injection rate

Minimum dioxin/furan sorbent injection rate.

Carrier gas flow rate or carrier gas pressure drop.

Minimum carrier gas flow rate or minimum carrier gas pressure drop.

Continuous

Every 15 minutes

12-hour block.

Afterburner

Temperature of the afterburner combustion chamber.

Minimum temperature of the afterburner combustion chamber.

Continuous

Every 15 minutes

12-hour block.

a As specified in § 60.5190, you may use a continuous emissions monitoring system or continuous automated sampling system in lieu of establishing certain operating limits.

b This recording time refers to the minimum frequency that the continuous monitor or other measuring device initially records data. For all data recorded every 15 minutes, you must calculate hourly arithmetic averages. For all parameters, you use hourly averages to calculate the 12-hour or 3-hour block average specified in this table for demonstrating compliance. You maintain records of 1-hour averages.
