EPA MACT BLDs

BLDs for EPA MACT Rules

Many of the EPA’s Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Rules have a requirement or option to use broken bag leak detectors (BLDs). B3 Systems has over 20 years of experience working with these application and rules. We have a range of products and services available to support BLDs under MACT. Some of the Rules where BLDs are referenced include:

  • Secondary Aluminum Production (RRR)
  • Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters (DDDDD)
  • Primary Copper Smelting (CCCCCC)
  • Portland Cement (F)
  • Area Sources: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production (JJJJJJ)

Experience

Combining our experience with baghouse operations with knowledge of EPA’s requirements can be a WIN-WIN. We have the dust sensors that meet or exceed the EPA’s requirements along with the knowledge and experience to know how they are applied. We have also spentover 20 years developing algorithms for establishing your BLD alarm limits. The result is the best and easiest way to set-up your MACT BLD systems.

Whether you need an analog signal, Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP, contact us about your system.

Our Sensors

We are located in Raleigh, NC, where we maintain our inventory and support for every sensor application sold. This means that everything you need is easily accessible. We offer options that will simplify your compliance and maintenance efforts. An electronic drift check (EDC) is required monthly under the BLD MACT Guidance. Our automated EDC option makes that as easy as the push of a button. We also offer our patented rod isolation check (RIC) which actuallly measures the amount of buld-up between the sensor’s rod and the process wall. This function allows the sensor to tell you when it needs to be cleaned, elminating unnecessary maintenance efforts.

BLD Alarm Setup

We have extensive experience with setting up baghouse alarm limits using the methodology set out by EPA. We have sent almost 2 decades developing algorithyms to properly process the raw data. We use:

  • Your Data
  • Our Knowledge
  • Proven Methodologies
  • Your Data

… and you get … Third Party Documentation / Report
