Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, emissions monitoring equipment, process equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner which causes, or has the potential to cause, the emission limitations in an applicable standard to be exceeded.
Takeoff and idling emission also differ in surface properties (i.e., the ratio of active surface area to surface bound photoionizable species) and particle size distributions differ between aircraft and ground support equipment emissions.
"low-emission technology" means technology for vehicles and equipment whose emission performance is the best achievable under emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency and that relies exclusively on alternative fuels that are substantially nonpetroleum based, as defined by the Department of Energy, but not excluding hybrid systems or natural gas powered vehicles.
Fossil fuels burned in farm equipment, methane emissions from livestock, and land clearance for fields all contribute to climate change.
No other provisions of this subpart apply to equipment leak emissions vented through a closed vent system to a nonflare control device.
Inadequate documentation of the equipment whose emissions are being controlled is a potential cause for confusion in comparison of costs of the same controls applied to similar sources.
The first model explains coal production and investment and analyzes decisions related to the closures of unprofitable mines, the construction of new mines in different locations, and the installation of beneficiation equipment and emissions reduction equipment.
You may need to obtain a special permit (and do more record keeping) if any of the following apply to your business: –Your equipment vents emissions into the air.
We conclude that the occurrence of abnormal process conditions (for example, malfunctions upstream of the point of emissions; equipment issues) cause additional emissions that explain the gap between component-based and site-based emissions.
VW admitted equipping some vehicles with software that turned on emissions-control equipment to fool emissions tests, but allowed illegal levels of emissions in normal operation.
GCHQ's functions, according to the 1994 Intelligence Services Act, include "to monitor or interfere with electromagnetic, acoustic and other emissions and any equipment producing such emissions and to obtain and provide information derived from or related to such emissions or equipment … " It can do so "in support of the prevention or detection of serious crime".
