CEMDPS Access Continuous Emission Monitoring

System Data Processing System (CEMDPS)• GreenPort• Web-based portal in which all CEMS

related information will be submitted. Phase I (Monitoring Plan) Phase II Testing Phase III Certification

6

Migration Error Check Standards

• Facility Emission Standards Tracking

• Analyzer Information

7

Standards Streamlining

• “This condition also assures compliance with….”

25 Pa. Code §123.22(c)(4) [SO2] 25 Pa. Code §123.41 [Opacity] 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Da

Standards Values Averaging Periods

Tracking Tracking

• Analyzer Type• Measurement Basis (units, wet/dry)• Manufacturer• Model No.• Full Scale Range• LMESE

10

LMESE Lowest Monitored Emission Standard

Equivalent (LMESE )• Lowest emission standard (i.e., lb/hr,

lb/MMBtu, etc.) in terms of the analyzer output (i.e., ppm)

• Used to determine daily zero/upscale calibration drift

100 x /LMESE|A-R| =CE

11

LMESE LMESE [PADEP Default = (FS) ÷ 2] No LMESE for:

• Opacity (Abs. Difference)• CO2 (Abs. Difference)

• O2 (Abs. Difference)• VFR (most cases 2.5% range)• Dual Range Analyzers?

12

Alternative LMESE VFR (FS Range = 150,000 scfm)

• No flow standard• Maintenance Limit = ≤ 3,750 scfm

(2.5% * 150,000 scfm)• OOC = ≤ 7,500 scfm

(5.0% * 150,000 scfm)• Alternative LMESE = 62,500 scfm

(3,750 scfm ÷ 6.0%)

Streamlined Alternative LMESE

NOX (LMESE = 120 ppm)• Maintenance Limit = ≤ 6 ppm

(5.0% * 120 ppm)• OOC = ≤ 12 ppm

(10.0% * 120 ppm)

15

Streamlined Alternative LMESE

NOX (Part 75 Span = 260 ppm)• Maintenance Limit = ≤ 6.5 ppm

(2.5% * 260 ppm)• OOC = ≤ 13 ppm

(5.0% * 260 ppm)• Streamlined LMESE = 130 ppm

(6.5 ppm ÷ 5.0%)

Certification Activities 7-Day Drift DAHS Verification Sample Reports QA/QC Plan

18

7-Day Drift Evaluates the accuracy and stability

of CMS calibrations over an extended period of unit operation

Revision 6 CEMS Uses the LMESE drift tolerances

19

DAHS Verification Certifies that the DAHS is functioning

correctly• Normal Operating Hours• Process Down Hours• Partial Operating Hours• Invalid Data Hours• Missing Data Hours

20

Sample Reports Submittal of sample data via CEMDPS

to ensure proper data format

21

QA/QC Activities Daily Calibrations Calibration Error Tests vs. Linearity

Tests Maintenance Activities Flow Monitor Leak Checks
