Section 250-RICR-120-05-20.11 - Trial Burns and Emission TestingA. The Director may require a trial burn for each alternative fuel that is significantly different in physical or chemical characteristics from any alternative fuel previously demonstrated to have been burned successfully under equivalent conditions. Such testing shall be conducted to determine the level of emission of air contaminants from the burning of alternative fuels.B. The above required emission testing shall be conducted at the expense of the owner or operator of the source according to methods that have the prior approval of the Director.C. The above required emission testing shall include the following minimum determinations: 1. An analysis of the exhaust gases for concentrations of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, particulates, hydrogen halides (if applicable) and any principal hazardous components identified by the Director;2. A measurement of combustion temperature;3. A computation of destruction efficiency for each principal hazardous component identified by the Director, where; Click here to view
