     The following words and terms, when used in this chapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

          (1) Continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS)--All of the equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and availability requirements of Subchapter G of this chapter, to sample, condition (if applicable), analyze, and provide a record of emissions on a continuous basis.

          (2) Continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS)--All of the equipment necessary to meet the data acquisition and availability requirements of Subchapter G of this chapter, to monitor process and control device operational parameters (for example, control device secondary voltages and electric currents) and other information (for example, gas flow rate, 02 or C02 concentrations), and to record average operational parameter value(s) on a continuous basis.

          (3} Emission cap--Emission limit for a specific air contaminant based on total emissions of that pollutant from all facilities that are included in a flexible permit.

          (4) Expected maximum capacity--The maximum capacity of a facility according to its physical and operational design and planned operation.

          (5) Individual emission limitation--Emission limit for a specific air contaminant for an individual facility.

          (6) Predictive emissions monitoring system (PEMS)--All of the equipment necessary to monitor process and control device operational parameters (for example, control device secondary voltages and electric currents) and other information (for example, gas flow rate, 02 or C02 concentrations), and calculate and record the mass emissions rate (for example, pounds per hour) on a continuous basis.
