Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 5, May 24, 2024

Section 61-79.265.AA.1032 - Standards: Process vents

(a) The owner or operator of a facility with process vents associated with distillation, fractionation, thinfilm evaporation, solvent extraction or air or steam stripping operations managing hazardous wastes with organic concentrations at least 10 ppmw shall either:

(1) Reduce total organic emissions from all affected process vents at the facility below 1.4 kg/h (3 lb/h) and 2.8 Mg/yr (3.1 tons/yr), or

(2) Reduce, by use of a control device, total organic emissions from all affected process vents at the facility by 95 weight percent.

(b) If the owner or operator installs a closedvent system and control device to comply with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, the closedvent system and control device must meet the requirements of 265.1033.

(c) Determinations of vent emissions and emission reductions or total organic compound concentrations achieved by add-on control devices may be based on engineering calculations or performance tests. If performance tests are used to determine vent emissions, emission reductions, or total organic compound concentrations achieved by add-on control devices, the performance tests must conform with the requirements of 265.1034(c).

(d) When an owner or operator and the Department do not agree on determinations of vent emissions and/or emission reductions or total organic compound concentrations achieved by add-on control devices based on engineering calculations, the test methods in 265.1034(c) shall be used to resolve the disagreement.
