1. The applied methodology and the revised monitoring plan require that the baseline emissions are limited to the design capacity of the existing nitric acid plant, which is 600 t/day for Line A and B. However, the nitric acid production of Line A and B have exceeded the plant capacity for 9 days and 26, days respectively. Clarification is required on how the DOE verified that this requirement had been met.
2. The revised monitoring plan and the methodology require that the plant output of nitric acid is regularly checked with the acid density and concentration during the project lifetime. Further clarification is required on how the DOE verified the plant output of nitric acid.
3. The DOE verified the calibration of the measuring equipment in details except the flow meters for ammonia input to SCR De-NOx facility and hydrocarbon input for tail gas reheating. Further clarification is required.
