| There are several
reasons for obtaining source emission data
on the type and amounts of materials being
emitted from industrial stacks: |
 |
to determine if a process unit is in compliance with existing or proposed emission regulations; |
|
to ascertain the economics of materials or product losses from a source; |
|
to obtain relevant data which can facilitate the selection and design of control equipment; |
|
to test the efficiency of installed control equipment; |
|
to allow control of a process by continuous or frequent observation of one or more constituents in the stack gas stream; |
|
to provide more accurate data to develop air resources management programs, control regulations and inventories; |
|
to calibrate continuous monitors. |
