Utilizing VSA data to provide the "record and explanation" required for exceedances under §60.103a.

As industrial modernization continues under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, ensuring that New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) are met requires precision monitoring. This paper examines the role of high-frequency signal processing, specifically using the Keysight 89601B VSA framework, to improve the accuracy of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). We analyze a 55-minute and 52-second operational window to evaluate how vector analysis can identify transient spikes in particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) that traditional monitoring might miss. I. Introduction Overview of NSPS regulations for stationary sources.

The integration of specialized signal analysis software like the 89601B series allows facilities to maintain attainment status more effectively than traditional low-resolution logging. Future NSPS updates should consider incorporating these higher-fidelity standards to ensure a "best demonstrated technology" approach. New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) | US EPA
