The FacilitySitePath component consists of the complex types and XML data elements of control paths. Like controls, paths are properties of the facility and can be shared by all components of the facility. EIS utilizes control paths to organize and determine how controls at the site are related to each other and how they connect to processes and release points. This is accomplished in two steps:
A path may consist of one or more controls that exist at the facility, one or more paths that exist as the facility, or a combination of controls and paths that exist at the facility. Controls can be connected in series. That is, the entire emissions stream moves from one control device to another. Controls can also operate in parallel. This example involves multiple controls that exist at a facility and may have an emissions stream that splits and then later converges before being released. So for the portion of the time that the stream is split, the control devices are considered operating in parallel. That is, part of the total emissions stream moves through one series of control devices, and the other part of the emissions stream moves through a separate series of control devices. When you have parallel configurations of controls, they will need to be evaluated as a set of series of controls. Each of these sets will also need to have their own path definitions.
Once a Control Path is defined, you can then associate the path with a release point apportionment record using the ReleasePointApportionmentPathIdentification component. That will associate a given process and release point with a control path.
The overall pollutant reduction percentages for the entirety of the control path can be specified through the ControlPathControlPollutant component. The overall percent effectiveness across the entire path may be reported through the FacilitySitePath component.
