Results of the fuel analysis taken after each new shipment of oil is received shall be used as the daily value when calculating the 30-day rolling average until the next shipment is received. If the fuel analysis shows that the sulfur content in the fuel tank is greater than 0.5 weight percent sulfur, the owner or operator shall ensure that the sulfur content of subsequent oil shipments is low enough to cause the 30-day rolling average sulfur content to be 0.5 weight percent sulfur or less.
NR 440.207(7)(d)3.
3. Method 6B may be used in lieu of CEMS to measure SO
2 at the inlet or outlet of the SO

2 and carbon dioxide measurement train operated at the candidate location and a second similar train operated according to the procedures in
s. 3.2 and the applicable procedures in section 7 of Performance Specification 2 of
40 CFR part 60 Appendix B, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 440.17. Method 6B, Method 6A or a combination of Methods 6 and 3 or Methods 6C and 3A are suitable measurement techniques. If Method 6B is used for the second train, sampling time and timer operation may be adjusted for the stratification test as long as an adequate sample volume is collected; however, both sampling trains are to be operated similarly. For the location to be adequate for Method 6B 24-hour tests, then the mean of the absolute difference between the 3 paired runs shall be less than 10% (0.10).
