that Meets the Requirements of §98.350 and §98.351?
Each facility with anaerobic wastewater treatment must
monitor these parameters...

anaerobic reactor or anaerobic lagoon
(weekly)

wastewater entering an anaerobic
reactor or lagoon (weekly)
Each facility with anaerobic wastewater or anaerobic sludge treatment
processes with biogas recovery must also monitor these parameters...
Volumetric flow rate of recovered
biogas (continuously)
Temperature at which biogas flow and
CH4 content are measured, unless
temperature is incorporated into
monitoring equipment internal
calculations (weekly)
Moisture content at which biogas flow
and CH4 content are measured unless
moisture content is incorporated into
monitoring equipment internal
calculations (weekly)
CH4 content of recovered biogas
(continuously, if available, or weekly)
Pressure at which biogas flow and CH4
content are measured, unless pressure is
incorporated into monitoring equipment
internal calculations (weekly)
Operating hours per year of the biogas
destruction device (and backup
destruction device, if applicable)
