Section 229.150  Compliance with Operating Parameter Values

a)         Following the date on which the initial performance test is completed, as provided in Section 229.142 of this Part, an HMIWI, using a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet scrubber, or dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber to comply with the emission limits of this Part, shall not operate above any of the applicable maximum or below any of the applicable minimum operating parameter values specified in Appendix B of this Part.  All operating parameters shall be measured at all times, except during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (calculated each hour as a 3-hour rolling average of the previous 3 operating hours).  For batch HMIWIs, the charge rate shall be measured on a per batch basis.

b)         For HMIWIs using air pollution control equipment other than a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet scrubber, or dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber to comply with the emission limits under Section 229.125 of this Part, following the date on which the initial performance test is completed, as provided in Section 229.142 of this Part, an HMIWI shall not operate above any applicable maximum or below any applicable minimum operating parameter values established in its CAAPP permit.

c)         Operating parameter limits do not apply during performance tests.
