Section 465.09. Performance test methods.

 

(1)  

(a) Except as provided in par. (c) , the owner or operator of an affected source shall use Method 311 in 40 CFR part 63 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (25) , in conjunction with formulation data, to determine the VHAP content of liquid coatings. Formulation data shall be used to identify VHAP present in the coating. Method 311 shall then be used to quantify those VHAP identified through formulation data. Method 311 may not be used to quantify HAP such as styrene and formaldehyde that are emitted during the cure.

(b) Except as provided in par. (c) , the owner or operator of an affected source shall use Method 24 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , to determine the solids content by weight and the density of coatings.

(c) If it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the administrator that a coating does not release VOC or HAP byproducts during the cure, batch formulation information shall be accepted for determining the VHAP or VOC content of the coating. The owner or operator of an affected source may request approval from the administrator to use an alternative method for determining the VHAP content of the coating. In the event of any inconsistency between Method 24 or Method 311 test data for a material and formulation data for the same material, the applicable test method shall govern unless, after consultation, the owner or operator can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that the formulation data are correct.

(2)  An owner or operator demonstrating compliance in accordance with s. NR 465.07 (1) (d) or (2) (b) or 465.08 (1) (d) or (2) (b) , or complying with any of the other emission limits of s. NR 465.04 by operating a capture and control device, shall determine the overall control efficiency of the control system (R) as the product of the capture and control device efficiency, using the test methods in sub. (3) and the procedures in sub. (4) .

(3)  When an initial compliance demonstration is required by s. NR 465.07 (1) (d) or (2) (b) , the following test methods shall be used:

(a) Method 18 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be used to determine the HAP concentration of gaseous air streams. The test shall consist of 3 separate runs, each lasting a minimum of 30 minutes.

(b) Method 1 or 1A in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be used for sample and velocity traverses.

(c) Method 2, 2A, 2C or 2D in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be used to measure velocity and volumetric flow rates.

(d) Method 3 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be used to analyze the exhaust gases.

(e) Method 4 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be used to measure the moisture in the stack gas.

(f) Methods 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 3 and 4 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , shall be performed, as applicable, at least twice during each test period.

(4)  An owner or operator of an affected source demonstrating compliance in accordance with s. NR 465.07 (1) (d) or (2) (b) shall perform a gaseous emission test using the following procedures:

(a) Construct the overall HAP emission reduction system so that all volumetric flow rates and total HAP emissions can be accurately determined by the applicable test methods specified in sub. (3) .

(b) Determine capture efficiency from the affected emission points by capturing, venting and measuring all HAP emissions from the affected emission points. The owner or operator shall isolate affected emission points located in an area with other nonaffected gaseous emission sources from all other gaseous emission points and shall determine capture efficiency according to the following procedures as appropriate:

1. For temporary total enclosures, capture efficiency shall be determined according to Method 204, and as applicable, Methods 204A through 204F, in 40 CFR part 51 , Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (9) .

2. For permanent total enclosures built around the affected emissions points, and where the building that houses the process is used as the enclosure, capture efficiency shall be assumed to be 100% when the requirements for a permanent total enclosure in Method 204, in 40 CFR part 51 , Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (9) , are satisfied. Notwithstanding par. (e) , when a permanent total enclosure is confirmed through Method 204, a value of one shall be used for N when determining R under sub. (5) , (6) , (7) or (8) .

3. Use any alternative protocol and test method provided they meet either the requirements of the data quality objective (DQO) approach or the lower confidence level (LCL) approach in 40 CFR part 63 , Subpart KK, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (24) .

4. Shut down all nonaffected HAP emission points and continue to exhaust fugitive emissions from the affected emission points through any building ventilation system and other room exhausts such as drying ovens. All exhaust air shall be vented through stacks suitable for testing.

5. Use another methodology approved by the administrator provided it complies with the criteria for acceptance under Method 301 in 40 CFR part 63 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (25) .

(c) Operate the control device with all affected emission points that will subsequently be delivered to the control device connected and operating at maximum production rate.

(d) Determine the efficiency (F) of the control device using the following equation:

(e) Determine the efficiency (N) of the capture system using the following equation:

(5)  For an owner or operator complying with s. NR 465.04 (1) (a) in accordance with s. NR 465.06 (1) (a) 3. , compliance is demonstrated if the product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of E ac in Equation 2 in s. NR 465.06 (1) (a) 3. is no greater than 1.0.

(6)  For an owner or operator complying s. NR 465.04 (2) (a) in accordance with s. NR 465.06 (2) (a) 3. , compliance is demonstrated if the product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of E ac in Equation 4 in s. NR 465.06 (2) (a) 3. is no greater than 0.8.

(7)  For an owner or operator complying with s. NR 465.04 (1) (b) 2. in accordance with s. NR 465.06 (1) (c) 2. , compliance is demonstrated if the product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of G ac in Equation 3 in s. NR 465.06 (1) (c) 2. is no greater than 1.0.

(8)  For an owner or operator complying with s. NR 465.04 (2) (b) in accordance with s. NR 465.06 (2) (b) 2. , compliance is demonstrated if the product of (F x N)(100) yields a value (R) such that the value of G ac in Equation 3 s. NR 465.06 (1) (c) 2. is no greater than 0.2.
