Section 20.11.69.17 - OPERATING REQUIREMENTS

A. The owner or operator of a PWD shall not manually charge the primary combustion chamber through doors open to the atmosphere while the unit is operating. Charging of waste for units other than batch units shall be by mechanical means, which prevents upsets in the burn cycle.

B. Each unit shall operate so that during shutdown the unit continues to meet applicable emission limitations and the secondary combustion chamber temperature is maintained at 1800 degrees F or above until the waste is completely burned.

C. Units utilizing control devices to attain emission limits must be designed such that the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the final control device does not exceed 300 degrees F unless a demonstration is made that an equivalent collection (removal) of heavy metals and toxic organics can be achieved at a higher temperature or through the use of alternate technologies.
