Section 3-6 - Emission standards for volatile organic compounds

(a) The term "volatile organic compounds" (VOCs) is defined in 40 CFR § 51.100(s), 51.100(s)(1), and 51.100(s)(5), incorporated by reference under Section 9(a) of this chapter.

(b) VOC emissions shall be limited through the application of Best Available Control Technology (BACT) in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 2 of these regulations. Not withstanding the above, whenever acceptable control of VOC emissions from vapor blowdown, emergency relief systems, or VOC emissions generated from oil and gas production, storage, exploration, development, or processing operations is specified pursuant to these regulations as a flare, the flare shall not exceed a 20 percent opacity emission standard. If acceptable control of VOC emissions is specified as a smokeless flare, the definition given in subsection (i) of this section applies.

• (i) For the purposes of this section, "smokeless flare" means a flare designed for and operated with no visible emissions except for periods not to exceed a total of 5 minutes during any 2 consecutive hours.

• (ii) Each flare subject to Chapter 3, Section 6(b) must be equipped and operated with an automatic igniter or a continuous burning pilot which must be maintained in good working order.
