Silicon Carbide Production &EPA Monitoring Checklist United States Environmental Protection Agency Final Rule: Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases What Must Be Monitored for Each Silicon Carbide Production Facility? IfusingaCEMS: In addition to the monitoring requirements under 40 CFR subpart C for the Tier 4 Calculation Methodology, measure these parameters for each facility... n Annual consumption of petroleum coke (tons) If NOT using a CEMS, measure these parameters... For determining the monthly facility-specific emission factor: n Carbon content for the petroleum coke d If using supplier data, the annual QA/QC consumed each month either from analysis of the petroleum coke using supplier data or as measured by the methods specified in subpart BB methods specified in subpart BB (percent by weight) (percent by weight) For calculating annual CO2 and CH4 process emissions for each facility: n Monthly mass of petroleum coke consumed (tons) All silicon carbide facilities measure these parameters... Q Annual production of silicon carbide Q Annual production capacity of silicon (tons) carbide (tons) n Annual operating hours See also the information sheet for Silicon Carbide Production (EPA-430-F-09-040R) at: www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads/infosheets/siliconcarbideproduction.pdf.
