Equipment Unit Operating Hours Permit

Purpose: Analyze all point source processes that operated in a given calendar period to compare the calculated total operating hours for each equipment unit in conjunction with permit limit hours.

Description: All production records are reviewed and the resulting equipment unit operating hours are calculated and compared against a permit value.

Additional Requirements: An Equipment Unit Operating Hours Permit is needed from a list of existing permits. If a new permit is needed then it can be created from the Report Specification Window.

Application: This report displays emissions from point sources as they exist in basic Emission Master process (filling, heating, …), storage tank, or combustion models. This report will not display fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions occur from piping and equipment connections in the field and point source emissions occur from basic process operations where the equipment is vented to the atmosphere through a connection.
