Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) If you are
					 using a wet scrubber to comply with the emission limitation under §
											113.2220
					 of this title (relating to What emission limitations must I meet and by when?),
					 you must install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and
					 operate devices (or establish methods) for monitoring the value of the
					 operating parameters used to determine compliance with the operating limits
					 listed in Table 3 in §
											113.2261
					 of this title (relating to Tables Relating to Division 4). These devices (or
					 methods) must measure and record the values for these operating parameters at
					 the frequencies indicated in Table 3 in §
											113.2261
					 of this title at all times except as specified in §
											113.2233(a)
					 of this title (relating to Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
					 obtain?).
(b) If you use a fabric
					 filter to comply with the requirements of this division, you must install,
					 calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a bag leak detection system as
					 specified in paragraphs (1) through (8) of this subsection.
(1) You must install and operate a bag leak
					 detection system for each exhaust stack of the fabric filter.
(2) Each bag leak detection system must be
					 installed, operated, calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the
					 manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations.
(3) The bag leak detection system must be
					 certified by the manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter
					 emissions at concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter or
					 less.
(4) The bag leak detection
					 system sensor must provide output of relative or absolute particulate matter
					 loadings.
(5) The bag leak
					 detection system must be equipped with a device to continuously record the
					 output signal from the sensor.
(6)
					 The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm system that will
					 sound automatically when an increase in relative particulate matter emissions
					 over a preset level is detected. The alarm must be located where it is easily
					 heard by plant operating personnel.
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter
					 systems, a bag leak detection system must be installed in each baghouse
					 compartment or cell. For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the
					 bag leak detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter.
(8) Where multiple detectors are required,
					 the system's instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
