# INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST FOR THE CLAY CERAMICS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY **FORM I - ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS** Question Response

1. Please provide a copy of the cost estimate for your selected control device and explain any differences between the estimated and final installed costs. Costs should include costs for ancillary equipment, such as reconditioning drums, water treatment systems, etc 2. Do you currently do any work or operating practices (i.e., other than the use of an air pollution control device) that would have an impact on HF, HCl, or PM emissions from your kilns? If yes, please explain. 3. If you operate periodic kilns, please provide a time-temperature profile for each typical batch cycle. The profiles should show the duration of each temperature phase of the cycle from the time the kiln is fired to the time when the fired shapes can be removed from the kiln. (See instructions for example profile.) 4. If you operate periodic kilns, do you have any information regarding technological and/or economic limitations to testing those kilns? 5. Please provide a copy of a process flow diagram for your facility, if available.
