MAXCAM Assured Compliance Program

SERVICE DIVISIONMcGill AirClean Corporation now offers a complete MAX-CAM testing and monitoring program for your electrostaticprecipitator system. By using the capabilities of a personalcomputer-human-machine interface (PC-HMI), MAXCAMprovides Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) withoutthe expense of Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEM). Applying the latest PC-HMI technology, McGill AirCleanEngineering configures your computer to monitor perfor-mance indicators of the electrostatic precipitator that providereasonable assurance of compliance, without directly meas-uring emissions.FEATURES• Integrates with McGill AirClean’s PC-HMI software.• Simple test program confirms range of acceptable operation.• Considers system performance in terms of measurable and controllable variables.• Uses standardized emissions testing protocols.• Is designed to determine “reasonable assurance of com- pliance” as required by regulations.• Has automatic and continuous monitoring with two levels of alarms.• Has low-maintenance design.BENEFITS• Assures continuous compliance.• Satisfies regulatory requirements.• Reduces frequency of testing and reporting to the state.• Avoids expensive CEM equipment.• Avoids high maintenance cost of CEM equipment.• Provides more flexibility in equipment operation.• Provides low-cost operation. MAXCAM™ - ASSURED COMPLIANCE PROGRAMable to operate under a broader range of electrostatic precip-itator performance and production conditions and may evenincrease production significantly without additional testing. As part of the MAXCAM program, McGill AirClean designs a series of tests to determine emissions under a variety of performanceconditions that take into account total power input. Performance is then graphed, creating a total specific power performance curve. TheMAXCAM system monitors total specific power on a continuous basis. As long as the total specific power is within defined limits, theelectrostatic precipitator should meet the CAM requirements, regardless of production changes, and excessive costs for frequent stacktesting may be avoided. You can now reduce your compliance costs. The MAX-CAM program helps you meet the CAM rule and simplifyyour reporting requirements at the same time.

This rule requires ownersto consider, in their permit language, how their process andpollution control system is operated. That is, you will have todemonstrate, on a continuous basis, that your systemmaintains compliance levels. In the past, meeting regulatory compliance meantinstalling CEM equipment that would continuously monitorall controlled pollutants. This equipment was costly to installand operate. It was one more complicated system to main-tain. It often confined either the air pollution controlequipment operation or the manufacturing operation withinnarrow limits. Today, a new, more responsive monitoringmethod is available. The new method can allow you to meetthe requirements of the CAM rule, while providing moreflexible operation of the air pollution control equipment andyour manufacturing production. The rule recommends that an initial assessment beconducted to identify performance indicators, along withsubsequent process monitoring, that will reasonably assurecompliance. The rule states that the process and pollutioncontrol system is to be operated in such a way that it remainsin compliance. Once the CAM assessment is completed, theacceptable range for these parameters is used as a basis forcompliance. McGill AirClean’s MAXCAM program guidesyou through the CAM assessment, using parameters that canbe tracked by our PC-HMI software. What this means to your manufacturing operation is thatonce you have established an acceptable range of operationthrough testing, you can continue to operate, as long as youremain within this range. Once testing is completed, ourMAXCAM system will assist you with record keeping,tracking and compliance assurance. The program uses our standard software package that canproduce reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Bestof all, if you already have one of our PC-HMI controlsystems, this capability can be added at a reduced cost. Please contact us today to see how this powerfultechnology can help you meet the CAM requirement, whileadding flexibility to your operation. We can help youprovide compliance assurance and potentially reduce youroperating costs.
