1.2.1.3. Perform efficiency testing in accordance with 310 CMR 7.04 (4)(a). The requirements of this section shall be met using the abbreviated version in Appendix B for the base year and by performing a gas analysis in the option years.

1.2.1.4. Develop new baseline set points for each boiler on both fuels (base year only)

1.2.1.4.1. All recordable data for the baseline set points shall be recorded at each of the 10% increments from low fire to 100% fire. The goal is to create even stepped set points within the controls to maintain efficient and safe combustion between low fire and full fire. After these new fuel and O2 set points are established the contractor shall record as many of the parameters entering the boiler so that an effective baseline can be created to help with troubleshooting problems in the future. The setpoints shall be re-evaluated in 10% increments from low fire to the summer average during the summer RACT. The contractor shall provide tables listing the high and low 02 values for each boiler on both fuels at every 10% incriment. Appendix C shall be used as a guide for this information.

1.2.1.4.2. The contractor shall adjust the fuel flow rates at each firing rate to create even steps between the minimum flow required to maintain fire and the permit limit of 49.15MMBtu.

1.2.1.4.3. At each of the determined fuel rates the contractor shall adjust the controls to maintain the optimal oxygen set point in order to maintain maximum efficiency and reliability. This will be accomplished with a procedure similar to that of the RACT procedure.
