Section 664.1032. Standards: process vents.

 

(1)  The owner or operator of a facility with process vents associated with distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction or air or steam stripping operations managing hazardous wastes with organic concentrations of at least 10 ppmw shall do any of the following:

(a) 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).

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

(2)  If the owner or operator installs a closed-vent system and control device to comply with sub. (1) , the closed-vent system and control device shall meet s. NR 664.1033 .

(3)  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 shall conform with s. NR 664.1034 (3) .

(4)  When an owner or operator and the department do not agree on determinations of vent emissions, emission reductions or total organic compound concentrations achieved by add-on control devices based on engineering calculations, use the procedures in s. NR 664.1034 (3) to resolve the disagreement.
