A. Testing the regenerative thermal oxidizer equipment above the permit requirement. Often companies wish to run the system at higher destruction. This is great; however testing above the permit level can cause a new set of problems. You may be required to operate the regenerative thermal oxidizer equipment on an established baseline. After a period of time the thermal oxidizer may be running in compliance with the original permit, but fails to be in the higher baseline due to aging of valve seals or particulate within the media. At this point you may be out of the established baseline compliance.
