United Group offers EPA compliance package - Equipment Report - for sweat furnaces - Brief Article

Recycling Today, Jan, 2002

United Group Inc., Topeka, Kan., has created an EPA compliance package to help sweat furnace owners comply with new EPA regulations. The new regulations say the sweat furnace afterburner must be operated at 1,600 degrees. To show that a sweat furnace is meeting this regulation, the afterburner portion of the furnace now has to be equipped with an electronic device that monitors the operating temperature continuously.

United Group has been working with the EPA on how recording equipment must store data and how reporting software must compile the recorded data. United Group now offers a software program for this requirement that is available for most sweat furnaces.
