Title: Performance Specification 18 for Hydrogen Chloride Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems 
Abstract:

EPA is taking action to establish Performance Specification 18 for Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEM). Performance Specification 18 (PS 18) will provide Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures for assessing the acceptability of all HCl CEMS when they are initially installed. Currently the regulations specify the use of an extractive Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Performance Specification 15 to measure HCl continuously. Performance Specification18 is a flexible measurement-based PS for both FTIR and non-FTIR technologies.
