The APCTVC Mobile Sources Verification Program Sample Clauses

The APCTVC Mobile Sources Verification Program. The various retrofit technologies have been divided into three groups to facilitate ETV: • SCR systems, • retrofit diesel mobile source control devices, and • fuel and lubricant technologies. Selective catalytic reduction is an emissions control technology that reduces NOx by injecting a controlled amount of a reductant (usually urea or ammonia) into the gaseous exhaust stream ahead of a catalyst. In its simplest form, an SCR system includes a reductant storage and injection system, a control unit, and one catalyst. 1RTI International is a trade name of Research Triangle Institute. This GVP provides the requirements for APCTVC’s verification of the performance of SCR applied to mobile and stationary source diesel engines. Other organizations (e.g., EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality [OTAQ] and the California Air Resources Board [CARB]) also verify the performance of SCR to meet the needs of those organizations. The technology applicant should discuss the intended application of the SCR with OTAQ to determine the most suitable path for verification. This GVP is intended to apply only to SCR. The APCTVC reserves the right to evaluate each technology submitted for verification and to determine the applicability of this protocol to that specific technology. Regulatory authorities (OTAQ and others) may also have different requirements. Special testing may be required in some cases to maintain the integrity, credibility and, therefore, the value of verifications. The critical data quality objectives (DQOs) in this document were chosen to provide emissions measurements sufficient to support the vendor’s application for emissions credits under the Voluntary Diesel Retrofit Program (VDRP). This protocol was developed and has been reviewed by a technical panel composed of a broad group of stakeholders who have expertise in mobile source controls and come from the vendor, user, and regulatory spheres. Technical panel membership is dynamic, and its composition is expected to change over time as technical emphases change. The APCTVC will maintain membership balance on the panel. The basic SCR verification will measure and report baseline emissions concentrations and rates using the federal test procedures (FTPs) applicable to a particular engine or vehicle on a baseline fuel compared to that same engine or vehicle equipped with SCR. The number of engines and the test requirements will differ depending on the engine applicability and nature of the SCR. The t...

The APCTVC Mobile Sources Verification Program. This generic verification protocol (GVP) provides the requirements for APCTVC’s ETV of the performance of DEC, PM filter, and engine modification air pollution control technologies applied to highway and nonroad use diesel engines. Other technologies will be addressed similarly. Other organizations [e.g., EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality (EPA- OTAQ) and the California Air Resources Board] also ‘verify’ the performance of mobile source emissions control devices under different protocols to meet the needs of those organizations. Specifically, EPA-OTAQ has established, for applicants who meet particular criteria, a generally parallel path that does not require the level of external QA that is required for APCTVC ETV. The technology applicant should discuss the intended application of the technology with the appropriate regulatory body to determine the most suitable path for “verification.” This GVP is intended to apply only to DECs, PM filters, and engine modifications and their combinations. The APCTVC reserves the right to evaluate each technology submitted for ETV and to determine the applicability of this protocol to that specific technology. Special testing may be required in some cases to maintain the integrity and credibility, and, therefore, the value of ETVs. The critical data quality objectives (DQOs) in this document were chosen to provide emissions measurements sufficient to support the VDRP and its emissions credit provisions. Emissions credit allowances will be set by the appropriate state regulatory authority or EPA- OTAQ. (As stated above, the VDRP approving agencies may have data requirements that are in addition to the ETV test report.) This protocol was developed and has been reviewed by a technical panel composed of a broad group of stakeholders who have expertise in mobile source controls and come from the vendor, user, and regulatory spheres. Technical panel membership is dynamic, and its composition is expected to change over time as technical emphases change. The APCTVC will maintain membership balance on the panel. The basic APCTVC ETV test will measure and report baseline emissions concentrations and rates for an engine prior to use of the retrofit technology and also the emissions concentrations and rates for this engine following retrofit. It will be conducted at an independent, third-party test laboratory. The data quality requirements of this generic protocol will be applied at approved test laboratories through the...
