1. The dryer shall be equipped with an automatic temperature control system which shall be used to continuously maintain the dryer temperature below the level which results in excessive visible air contaminant emissions.
2. The particulate matter concentration in the exhaust of the fabric collector shall not exceed .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot.
3. The fabric collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the pressure differential across the collector.
4. The air compressor supplying the compressed air used to clean the fabric collector bags shall be equipped with an air dryer and oil trap.
5. Spare fabric collector bags shall be kept onsite.
6. The fabric collector shall be equipped with an exhaust stack that will effectively prevent precipitation from entering the collector.
