downstream of the firebox before any substantial heat exchange occurs at least
once every fifteen minutes during each of the three runs of the compliance
test.
(ii) Calculate and record the
average combustion temperature maintained during the compliance test. This
average combustion temperature is the minimum operating limit for the thermal
oxidizer.
(b) If the
control device is a catalytic oxidizer, establish the operating limits
according to either paragraphs (J)(2)(b)(i) and (J)(2)(b)(ii) or paragraphs
(J)(2)(b)(iii) and (J)(2)(b)(iv) of this rule.
(i) Monitor and record the temperature just

at least once every fifteen minutes during each of the three test runs
comprising a compliance test.
(ii)
Calculate and record the average temperature just before the catalyst bed and
the average temperature difference across the catalyst bed maintained during
the compliance test. These are the minimum operating limits for the catalytic
oxidizer.
(iii) Monitor and record
the temperature just before the catalyst bed at least once every fifteen
minutes during each of the three test runs of the compliance test. Use this
recorded temperature data to calculate and record the average temperature
before the catalyst bed during the performance test. This is the minimum
operating limit for the catalytic oxidizer.
(iv) Develop and implement an inspection and
maintenance plan for the catalytic oxidizer for which the owner or operator
elects to monitor according to paragraph (J)(2)(b)(iii) of this rule. At a
minimum, the plan shall address, the following:
(a) Conduct an annual sampling and analysis
of the catalyst activity (i.e., conversion efficiency) following the
manufacturer's or catalyst supplier's recommended procedures. If problems are
found during the catalyst activity test, the owner or operator shall replace
the catalyst bed or take other corrective action consistent with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
(b)
Conduct monthly external inspection of the catalytic oxidizer system, including
the burner assembly and fuel supply lines for problems and, as necessary,
adjust the equipment to assure proper air-to-fuel mixtures.
(c) Conduct annual internal inspection of the
catalyst bed to check for channeling, abrasion, and settling. If problems are
found during the annual internal inspection of the catalyst, the owner or
operator shall replace the catalyst bed or take other corrective action
consistent with the manufacturer's recommendations. If the catalyst bed is
replaced and is not of like or better kind and quality as the old catalyst,
then the owner or operator shall conduct a new compliance test to determine the
control efficiency of the catalytic oxidizer according to paragraph (I)(1) of
this rule. If a catalyst bed is replaced and the replacement catalyst is of
like or better kind and quality as the old catalyst, then a new compliance test
to determine the control efficiency of the catalytic oxidizer is not required
and the previously established operating limits for that catalytic oxidizer may
be used.
(c)
If the control device is a regenerative carbon adsorber, establish the
operating limits as follows:
(i) Monitor and
record the total regeneration desorbing gas (e.g., steam or nitrogen) mass flow
for each regeneration cycle, and the carbon bed temperature after each carbon
bed regeneration and cooling cycle for the regeneration cycle either
immediately preceding or immediately following the compliance test.
(ii) The operating limits for the
regenerative carbon adsorber are the minimum total desorbing gas mass flow
recorded during the regeneration cycle and the maximum carbon bed temperature
