You must . . . | Using . . . | According to the following requirements . . . |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. 2SLB, 4SLB, and CI stationary RICE | a. reduce CO emissions | i. Select the sampling port location and the number/location of traverse points at the inlet and outlet of the control device; and | (a) For CO and O2 measurement, ducts ≤6 inches in diameter may be sampled at a single point located at the duct centroid and ducts >6 and ≤12 inches in diameter may be sampled at 3 traverse points located at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3% of the measurement line (`3-point long line'). If the duct is >12 inches in diameter and the sampling port location meets the two and half-diameter criterion of Section 11.1.1 of Method 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-1, the duct may be sampled at `3-point long line'; otherwise, conduct the stratification testing and select sampling points according to Section 8.1.2 of Method 7E of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-4. | |

Measure the O2 at the inlet and outlet of the control device; and | (1) Method 3 or 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, or ASTM Method D6522-00 (Reapproved 2005)a c (heated probe not necessary) | (b) Measurements to determine O2 must be made at the same time as the measurements for CO concentration. | ||
| iii. Measure the CO at the inlet and the outlet of the control device | (1) ASTM D6522-00 (Reapproved 2005)a b c (heated probe not necessary) or Method 10 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-4 | (c) The CO concentration must be at 15 percent O2, dry basis. | ||
| 2. 4SRB stationary RICE | a. reduce formaldehyde emissions | i. Select the sampling port location and the number/location of traverse points at the inlet and outlet of the control device; and | (a) For formaldehyde, O2, and moisture measurement, ducts ≤6 inches in diameter may be sampled at a single point located at the duct centroid and ducts >6 and ≤12 inches in diameter may be sampled at 3 traverse points located at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3% of the measurement line (`3-point long line'). If the duct is >12 inches in diameter and the sampling port location meets the two and half-diameter criterion of Section 11.1.1 of Method 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, the duct may be sampled at `3-point long line'; otherwise, conduct the stratification testing and select sampling points according to Section 8.1.2 of Method 7E of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. | |
| ii. Measure O2 at the inlet and outlet of the control device; and | (1) Method 3 or 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, or ASTM Method D6522-00 (Reapproved 2005)a (heated probe not necessary) | (a) Measurements to determine O2 concentration must be made at the same time as the measurements for formaldehyde or THC concentration. | ||
| iii. Measure moisture content at the inlet and outlet of the control device; and | (1) Method 4 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3, or Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, or ASTM D 6348-03a | (a) Measurements to determine moisture content must be made at the same time and location as the measurements for formaldehyde or THC concentration. | ||
| iv. If demonstrating compliance with the formaldehyde percent reduction requirement, measure formalde-hyde at the inlet and the outlet of the control device | (1) Method 320 or 323 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A; or ASTM D6348-03a, provided in ASTM D6348-03 Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking Technique), the percent R must be greater than or equal to 70 and less than or equal to 130 | (a) Formaldehyde concentration must be at 15 percent O2, dry basis. Results of this test consist of the average of the three 1-hour or longer runs. | ||
| v. If demonstrating compliance with the THC percent reduction requirement, measure THC at the inlet and the outlet of the control device | (1) Method 25A, reported as propane, of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 | (a) THC concentration must be at 15 percent O2, dry basis. Results of this test consist of the average of the three 1-hour or longer runs. | ||
| 3. Stationary RICE | a. limit the concentra-tion of formalde-hyde or CO in the stationary RICE exhaust | i. Select the sampling port location and the number/location of traverse points at the exhaust of the stationary RICE; and | (a) For formaldehyde, CO, O2, and moisture measurement, ducts ≤6 inches in diameter may be sampled at a single point located at the duct centroid and ducts >6 and ≤12 inches in diameter may be sampled at 3 traverse points located at 16.7, 50.0, and 83.3% of the measurement line (`3-point long line'). If the duct is >12 inches in diameter and the sampling port location meets the two and half-diameter criterion of Section 11.1.1 of Method 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, the duct may be sampled at `3-point long line'; otherwise, conduct the stratification testing and select sampling points according to Section 8.1.2 of Method 7E of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. If using a control device, the sampling site must be located at the outlet of the control device. | |
| ii. Determine the O2 concentration of the stationary RICE exhaust at the sampling port location; and | (1) Method 3 or 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, or ASTM Method D6522-00 (Reapproved 2005)a (heated probe not necessary) | (a) Measurements to determine O2 concentration must be made at the same time and location as the measurements for formaldehyde or CO concentration. | ||
| iii. Measure moisture content of the station-ary RICE exhaust at the sampling port location; and | (1) Method 4 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3, or Method 320 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, or ASTM D 6348-03a | (a) Measurements to determine moisture content must be made at the same time and location as the measurements for formaldehyde or CO concentration. | ||
| iv. Measure formalde-hyde at the exhaust of the station-ary RICE; or | (1) Method 320 or 323 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A; or ASTM D6348-03a, provided in ASTM D6348-03 Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking Technique), the percent R must be greater than or equal to 70 and less than or equal to 130 | (a) Formaldehyde concentration must be at 15 percent O2, dry basis. Results of this test consist of the average of the three 1-hour or longer runs. | ||
