What Must Be Monitored for Each Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) ?
       If NOT using a CEMS, measure these additional parameters on a
                    monthly basis (unless otherwise noted)...

For calculating carbon dioxide (CO2) process emissions from each furnace:	
        Mass of each reducing agent fed,
        charged, or otherwise introduced into
        the EAF (tons)

        Carbon content in each reducing agent
        (percent by weight)

        Mass of each carbon electrode
        consumed in the EAF (tons)

        Carbon content in each carbon
        electrode (percent by weight)

        Mass of each ore charged to the EAF
        (tons)

        Carbon content in each ore
        (percent by weight)

        Monthly production quantity for
        each ferroalloy product (tons) for
        each EAF
Mass of each flux material fed, charged,
or otherwise introduced into the EAF
(tons)

Carbon content in each flux material
(percent by weight)

Mass of each alloy product tapped from
EAF (tons)

Carbon content in each alloy product
(percent by weight)

Mass of each non-product outgoing
material removed from EAF (tons)

Carbon content in each non-product
outgoing material (percent by weight)

Monthly and annual operating hours for
each EAF
For calculating CH4 process emissions from each furnace:

 Q    Annual mass of each alloy product
       listed in Table K-l produced in the
       EAF (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...
      Monthly production quantity for each
      ferroalloy product (tons) for each EAF
Monthly and annual operating hours for
each EAF
