Q117. Does EPA's definition of treatment equipment include moisture knockout and blower systems?  Is it acceptable to EPA for the flow meter to be placed after the moisture knockout and blower or is it required to be placed before these items?

A117. The term treatment equipment under the rule refers to destruction devices.  Knock out pots, blowers, compressors, condensate traps, etc. are not considered treatment under the rule.  However, all measurements need to occur at the same relative location.  In other words, all measurement should either be made after the knock-out pot, blower, etc., or before the knock-out pot, blower, etc.  It is actually preferred that the measurements be made after the knock-out pot, blower, etc.
