Municipal Waste Combustors: Operating Practices
(1)
Emissions of carbon monoxide from each unit must not exceed 100 parts per million by volume on a dry basis corrected to 7 percent oxygen as a 4-hour block arithmetic average.(2)
No owner or operator of an affected facility may cause such facility to operate at a load level greater than 110 percent of the maximum demonstrated municipal waste combustor unit load as defined in 40 CFR 60.51b except as specified in subsections (2)(a) and (b) of this rule. The averaging time is a 4-hour block arithmetic average as specified under OAR 340-230-0340 (Municipal Waste Combustors: Monitoring and Testing)(9).(a)
During the annual dioxin/furan or mercury performance test and the 2 weeks preceding the annual dioxin/furan or mercury performance test, no municipal waste combustor unit load limit is applicable if the provisions of subsection (2)(b) of this rule are met.(b)
The municipal waste combustor unit load limit may be waived in writing by the Administrator for the purpose of evaluating system performance, testing new technology or control technologies, diagnostic testing, or related activities for the purpose of improving facility performance or advancing the state-of-the-art for controlling facility emissions. The municipal waste combustor unit load limit continues to apply, and remains enforceable, until and unless the Administrator grants the waiver.(3)
No owner or operator of an affected facility may cause or allow such facility to operate at a temperature, measured at the particulate matter control device inlet, exceeding 17°C above the maximum demonstrated particulate matter control device temperature as defined in 40 CFR 60.51b, except as specified in subsections (3)(a) and (b) of this rule. The averaging time must be a 4-hour block arithmetic average as specified under OAR 340-230-0340 (Municipal Waste Combustors: Monitoring and Testing)(9). The requirements specified in this paragraph apply to each particulate matter control device utilized at the affected facility.(a)
During the annual dioxin/furan or mercury performance test and the 2 weeks preceding the annual dioxin/furan or mercury performance test, no particulate matter control device temperature limitations are applicable if the provisions of subsection (3)(b) of this rule are met.(b)
The particulate matter control device temperature limits may be waived in writing by the Administrator for the purpose of evaluating system performance, testing new technology or control technologies, diagnostic testing, or related activities for the purpose of improving facility performance or advancing the state-of-the-art for controlling facility emissions. The temperature limits continues to apply, and remains enforceable, until and unless the Administrator grants the waiver.
