DeviceParameters to be monitoredEstablished operating parameter(s)
Thermal incineratorFirebox temperatureMinimum temperature.
Catalytic incineratorTemperature upstream and downstream of the catalyst bedMinimum upstream temperature; and minimum temperature difference across the catalyst bed.
Boiler or process heaterFirebox temperatureMinimum temperature.
Scrubber for halogenated ventspH of scrubber effluent; and scrubber liquid and gas flow rates [§ 63.1324(b)(4)(ii)]Minimum pH; and minimum liquid/gas ratio.
AbsorberExit temperature of the absorbing liquid; and exit specific gravity of the absorbing liquidMaximum temperature; and maximum specific gravity.
CondenserExit temperatureMaximum temperature.
Carbon adsorberTotal regeneration steam flow or nitrogen flow, or pressure (gauge or absolute) a during carbon bed regeneration cycle; and temperature of the carbon bed after regeneration (and within 15 minutes of completing any cooling cycle(s))Maximum flow or pressure; and maximum temperature.
Other devices (or as an alternate to the requirements previously presented in this table) bHAP concentration level or reading at outlet of deviceMaximum HAP concentration or reading.

a 25 to 50 mm (absolute) is a common pressure level obtained by pressure swing absorbers.

b Concentration is measured instead of an operating parameter.
