Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

Section 252:100-37-35 - Waste gas disposal

(a)Ethylene manufacturing emissions. No owner or operator shall build or install any ethylene manufacturing plant unless the waste-gas stream under normal operating conditions is properly burned at 1,300° F for 0.3 seconds or greater in a direct-flame afterburner equipped with an indicating pyrometer that is positioned in the working area for the operator's ready monitoring or an equally effective catalytic vapor incinerator also with pyrometer. Proper burning of the waste-gas stream is defined as reduction by 98 percent of the ethylene emissions originally present in the waste-gas stream.

(b)Vapor blowdown. Except where inconsistent with the "Minimum Federal Safety Standards for the Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline" or any State of Oklahoma regulatory agency, no owner or operator shall allow VOC gases to be emitted from a vapor recovery blowdown system unless these gases are burned by smokeless flares or an equally effective control device as approved by the Division Director.
