Before adding hazardous waste, the owner or operator shall bring the thermal treatment process to steady state (normal) conditions of operation, including steady state operating temperature, using auxiliary fuel or other means, unless the process is a non-continuous (batch) thermal treatment process which requires a complete thermal cycle to treat a discrete quantity of hazardous waste.

NR 665.0013, the owner or operator shall sufficiently analyze any waste which the owner or operator has not previously treated in the thermal process to enable the owner or operator to establish steady state (normal) or other appropriate (for a non-continuous process) operating conditions (including waste and auxiliary fuel feed) and to determine the type of pollutants which might be emitted. At a minimum, the analysis shall determine all of the following: NR 665.0375(3)(3) Concentrations in the waste of lead and mercury, unless the owner or operator has written, documented data that show that the element is not present.

Appropriate corrections to maintain steady state or other appropriate thermal treatment conditions shall be made immediately either automatically or by the operator. Instruments which relate to temperature and emission control would normally include those measuring waste feed, auxiliary fuel feed, treatment process temperature and relevant process flow and level controls. NR 665.0377(2)(2) The stack plume (emissions), where present, shall be observed visually at least hourly for normal appearance (color and opacity). The operator shall immediately make any indicated operating corrections necessary to return any visible emissions to their normal appearance.
