Again you fail to understand the material you post

Again you fail to understand the material you post. 

The operators are being trained to operate under a set of circumstances that don't really fit the realities of the machine's requirements. As JB pointed out, the permit requirements are inflexible with regard to what the machine needs for higher feed rate operation.  

The part you didn't grasp is that requirement for a max of 4000 lbs/hr is not likely to be so rigid in another jurisdiction outside of NYDEC.


That will make it considerably easier for operators to hold to an average feed rate that the machine requires rather than an artificial requirement per hour of the DEC.

The operators in NF are being trained to operate the machine as close to the limits established by the permit. Those limits constrain the machines through put.

I have done some estimation of the transit time of material from hopper to tank and I get an estimated value of between 6 to 10 hours. That should give you some sense of the challenges the operators face in trying to meet a requirement that is based on a 1 hour time frame.

If the DEC wrote the permit to say that the machine could average 4000 lbs/hr over a 24 hour period the operators would be in a more comfortable place in operating the machine
