The parameter \ct{FINITE_RATE_MIN_TEMP} defines the minimum temperature (in ~$^\circ$C) above which chemistry calculation will be performed. CVODE allows specification of relative and absolute tolerances at the species-level using the \ct{ODE_REL_ERROR} and \ct{ODE_ABS_ERROR} parameters in the \ct{SPEC} input line. These tolerances can also be set globally in the \ct{COMB} input line, with species-level settings taking precedence. Currently, CVODE only allows absolute tolerance at the species level. The minimum concentration of a species is determined as the product of \ct{ODE_REL_ERROR} and \ct{ZZ_MIN_GLOBAL}. Concentrations below this threshold are treated as zero.

Additional optional parameters include \ct{EQUIV_RATIO_CHECK}, \ct{MIN_EQUIV_RATIO}, and \ct{MAX_EQUIV_RATIO}. When \ct{EQUIV_RATIO_CHECK} is enabled (set to true), the chemistry calculation is performed only for those cells for which equivalence ratio is within the specified \ct{MIN_EQUIV_RATIO} and \ct{MAX_EQUIV_RATIO} limits, reducing computational time. Enabling \ct{DO_CHEM_LOAD_BALANCE} significantly accelerates chemistry calculations by distributing the computational load evenly across all MPI processes.
