Define: Control Device

The meaning of “Control Device” differs based on where it is used. We list many below, then combine them into one or more market-standard definitions.

How is Control Device defined in a legal contract?

  • Control Device means any equipment, including incinerators, carbon adsorbers, and condensers, that reduces the quantity of a pollutant that is emitted to the air by either destroying or securing the pollutant for subsequent recovery. Seen in 67 SEC filings
  • Control Device means an equipment such as a fume incinerator, adsorber, absorber, scrubber, filter media, cyclone, electrostatic precipitator, or the like, used to destroy or remove air pollutants before emitting to the atmosphere. Seen in 29 SEC filings
  • Control Device means any device or combination of devices specifically designed to recover or destroy Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) vapors received from the process vents. However, a recovery device that's an inherent part of a process like a condenser operating under specific conditions is not considered a control device. Seen in 21 SEC filings
  • Control Device means any combustion device or recapture device. A recovery device is however not regarded as a control device. Seen in 19 SEC filings
  • Control Device means an enclosed combustion device, vapor recovery system, or flare. However, a device that primarily recovers or captures solvents or other organics for use, reuse, or sale such as a primary condenser on a solvent recovery unit, does not qualify as a control device. Seen in 16 SEC filings
  • Control Device means an equipment like an afterburner, adsorber, fabric filter or scrubber, that is used to prevent or remove an air contaminant from a contaminated exhaust stream. Seen in 13 SEC filings
