What Must Be Monitored for Each Waelz Kiln or Electrotherntic Furnace?
If NOT using a CEMS, measure these parameters...
United States
Environmental Protection
Agency
Monthly mass of each carbon
containing input material
(e.g., zinc bearing material,
flux materials, carbon electrodes) fed,
charged, or introduced to each Waelz
kiln or electrothermic furnace (tons)
Carbon content of each input material
(using three representative samples
analyzed annually or using information
provided by material supplier)
(percent by weight)
Operating hours for all Waelz kilns and
electrothermic furnaces used in zinc
production (hours)
Monthly production quantity for each
zinc product (tons)
If using a CEMS:
In addition to the monitoring requirements under 40 CFR subpart C
for the Tier 4 Calculation Methodology, measure these parameters
on an annual basis..
Facility production quantity for each
zinc product (tons)
Operating hours for all Waelz kilns and
electrothermic furnaces used in zinc
production (hours)
Monthly production quantity for each zinc
product (tons)
