As required in § 63.8005, you must meet each emission limit and work practice standard in the following table that applies to your process vessels.
For each ․․․ | You must ․․․ | And you must ․․․ |
---|---|---|
1. Portable process vessel at an existing source | a. Equip the vessel with a cover or lid that must be in place at all times when the vessel contains a HAP, except for material additions and sampling | Nonapplicable. |
2. Stationary process vessel at an existing source | a. Equip the vessel with a cover or lid that must be in place at all times when the vessel contains a HAP, except for material additions and sampling; or | i. Considering both capture and any combination of control (except a flare), reduce emissions of organic HAP with a vapor existing pressure ≥0.6 kPa by ≥75 percent by weight, and reduce emissions of organic HAP with a vapor pressure <0.6 kPa by ≥60 percent by weight. |
b. Equip the vessel with a tightly fitting vented cover or lid that must be closed at all times when the vessel contains HAP, except for material additions and sampling | i. Reduce emissions of organic HAP with a vapor pressure ≥0.6 kPa by ≥75 percent by weight, and reduce emissions of organic HAP with a vapor pressure <0.6 kPa by ≥60 percent by weight, by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to any combination of control devices (except a flare); or | |
ii. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by venting emissions from a non-halogenated vent stream through a closed-vent system to a flare; or | ||
iii. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to a condenser that reduces the outlet gas temperature to: | ||
<10°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure <0.6 kPa, or | ||
<2°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure ≥0.6 kPa and <17.2 kPa, or | ||
<-5°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure ≥17.2 kPa. | ||
3. Portable and stationary process vessel at a new source | a. Equip the vessel with a tightly fitting vented cover or lid that must be closed at all times when the vessel contains HAP, except for material additions and sampling | i. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by ≥95 percent by weight by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to any combination of control devices (except a flare); or |
ii. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by venting emissions from a non-halogenated vent stream through a closed-vent system to a flare; or | ||
iii. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to a condenser that reduces the outlet gas temperature to: | ||
<-4°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure <0.7 kPa, or | ||
<-20°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure ≥0.7 kPa and <17.2 kPa, or | ||
<-30°C if the process vessel contains HAP with a partial pressure ≥17.2 kPa. | ||
4. Halogenated vent stream from a process vessel subject to the requirements of item 2 or 3 of this table for which you use a combustion control 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 ≥95 percent; or |
b. Use a halogen reduction device before the combustion control device | ii. Reduce overall emissions of hydrogen halide and halogen HAP to ≤0.45 kilogram per hour (kg/hr). | |
Reduce the halogen atom mass emission rate to ≤0.45 kg/hr. |
