|
For each . . . |
Then you must . . . |
And you must . . . |
|---|---|---|
|
1. Process with Group 1 batch process vents |
a. Reduce collective uncontrolled organic HAP emissions from the sum of all batch process vents within the process by ≥98 percent by weight by venting emissions from a sufficient number of the vents through one or more closed-vent systems to any combination of control devices (except a flare); or |
Not applicable. |
|
b. Reduce collective uncontrolled organic HAP emissions from the sum of all batch process vents within the process by ≥95 percent by weight by venting emissions from a sufficient number of the vents through one or more closed-vent systems to any combination of recovery devices or a biofilter, except you may elect to comply with the requirements of subpart WW of this part for any process tank; or |
Not applicable. |
|
|
c. Reduce uncontrolled organic HAP emissions from one or more batch process vents within the process by venting through a closed-vent system to a flare or by venting through one or more closed-vent systems to any combination of control devices (excluding a flare) that reduce organic HAP to an outlet concentration ≤20 ppmv as TOC or total organic HAP |
For all other batch process vents within the process, reduce collective organic HAP emissions as specified in item 1.a and/or item 1.b of this Table. |
|
|
2. Halogenated Group 1 batch process vent for which you use a combustion device to control organic HAP emissions |
a. Use a halogen reduction device after the combustion control device; or |
i. Reduce overall emissions of hydrogen halide and halogen HAP by ≥99 percent; or |
|
ii. Reduce overall emissions of hydrogen halide and halogen HAP to ≤0.45 kg/hr; or |
||
|
iii. Reduce overall emissions of hydrogen halide and halogen HAP to a concentration ≤20 ppmv. |
||
|
b. Use a halogen reduction device before the combustion control device |
Reduce the halogen atom mass emission rate to <=0.45 kg/hr or to a concentration ≤20 ppmv. |
|
|
3. Batch process vent that contains ethylene oxide such that it is considered to be in ethylene oxide service as defined in § 63.2550 |
Beginning no later than the compliance dates specified in § 63.2445(i), comply with the applicable emission limits specified in items 1 and 2 of this Table, and also: |
Not applicable. |
|
i. Reduce emissions of ethylene oxide by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to a flare; or |
||
|
ii. Reduce emissions of ethylene oxide by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to a control device that reduces ethylene oxide by ≥99.9 percent by weight, or to a concentration <1 ppmv for each process vent or to <5 pounds per year for all combined process vents. |
