Section R315-264-343 - Performance StandardsAn incinerator burning hazardous waste shall be designed, constructed, and maintained so that, when operated in accordance with operating requirements specified under Section R315-264-345, it shall meet the following performance standards:
(a)(1) Except as provided in Subsection R315-264-343(a)(2), an incinerator burning hazardous waste shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous constituent designated, under Section R315-264-342, in its permit for each waste feed. Destruction and removal efficiency is determined for each principal organic hazardous constituent from the following equation: Destruction and removal efficiency = ((Win-Wout)/Win)x100%
where:
Win = mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous constituent in the waste stream feeding the incinerator
And
Wout = mass emission rate of the same principal organic hazardous constituent present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere.
(2) An incinerator burning hazardous wastes FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, or FO27 shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency of 99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent designated, under Section R315-264-342, in its permit. This performance shall be demonstrated on principal organic hazardous constituents that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. Destruction and removal efficiency is determined for each principal organic hazardous constituent from the equation in Subsection R315-264-343(a)(1). (b) An incinerator burning hazardous waste and producing stack emissions of more than 1.8 kilograms per hour, 4 pounds per hour, of hydrogen chloride shall control hydrogen chloride emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or 1% of the hydrogen chloride in the stack gas prior to entering any pollution control equipment. (c) An incinerator burning hazardous waste shall not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter, 0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot, when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula: Pc = Pm x (14/(21-Y))
Where Pc is the corrected concentration of particulate matter, Pm is the measured concentration of particulate matter, and Y is the measured concentration of oxygen in the stack gas, using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in 40 CFR 60, appendix A Method 3, which is adopted and incorporated by Section R307-221-3. This correction procedure is to be used by all hazardous waste incinerators except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment. For these facilities, the Director shall select an appropriate correction procedure, to be specified in the facility permit.
(d) For purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit, under Section R315-264-345, shall be regarded as compliance with Section R315-264-343. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the performance requirements of Section R315-264-343 may be "information" justifying modification, revocation, or reissuance of a permit under Section R315-270-41.
