Pct Time Off-Line
(Mandatory).
Represents the percentage of total annual operation time during which the abatement
device did not operate or operated improperly.
Pct time off-line = [(Hours off-line)/(Normal annual operating hours)]*100%
Example: FLARE 1, which normally operates 8760 hours per year, was off for 288 hours
and malfunctioned for 83 hours. The percent time off-line for FLARE1 is:
Pct time off-line = [(288+83) / 8760 * 100%]= 4.23 %

3.12 Revise Source, Point, and Control Device ID Numbers
Most users will begin using the program after importing their data from the agency’s data
download disk, in which case, the Source IDs, EPNs, and CINs are the “official” agency
identifiers for existing equipment. All of these equipment identification numbers can be changed
by the user by typing in a new
Source ID, EPN
or
CIN
on the
Detail
screen for these equipment
types. If a change is made, say to a Source ID, then when the user prepares the electronic report,
all of the information associated with the “new” Source ID will be re-associated with the “old”
Source ID. This way the agency’s information management system will recognize and utilize the
correct equipment in its database.
When the agency’s emission inventory database is updated with the user’s rename, then the
Agency ID
in COMPASS-EI will be changed to match the new equipment number.
