  • Table 4 to Subpart DDDDD of Part 63 - Operating Limits for Boilers and Process Heaters

    As stated in § 63.7500, you must comply with the applicable operating limits:

    Table 4 to Subpart DDDDD of Part 63 - Operating Limits for Boilers and Process Heaters

    When complying with a Table 1, 2, 11, 12, or 13 numerical emission limit using . . . You must meet these operating limits . . .
    1. Wet PM scrubber control on a boiler or process heater not using a PM CPMS Maintain the 30-day rolling average pressure drop and the 30-day rolling average liquid flow rate at or above the lowest one-hour average pressure drop and the lowest one-hour average liquid flow rate, respectively, measured during the performance test demonstrating compliance with the PM emission limitation according to § 63.7530(b) and Table 7 to this subpart.
    2. Wet acid gas (HCl) scrubbera control on a boiler or process heater not using a HCl CEMS Maintain the 30-day rolling average effluent pH at or above the lowest one-hour average pH and the 30-day rolling average liquid flow rate at or above the lowest one-hour average liquid flow rate measured during the performance test demonstrating compliance with the HCl emission limitation according to § 63.7530(b) and Table 7 to this subpart.
    3. Fabric filter control on a boiler or process heater not using a PM CPMS a. Maintain opacity to less than or equal to 10 percent opacity or the highest hourly average opacity reading measured during the performance test run demonstrating compliance with the PM (or TSM) emission limitation (daily block average); or
    b. Install and operate a bag leak detection system according to § 63.7525 and operate the fabric filter such that the bag leak detection system alert is not activated more than 5 percent of the operating time during each 6-month period.
    4. Electrostatic precipitator control on a boiler or process heater not using a PM CPMS a. This option is for boilers and process heaters that operate dry control systems (i.e., an ESP without a wet scrubber). Existing and new boilers and process heaters must maintain opacity to less than or equal to 10 percent opacity or the highest hourly average opacity reading measured during the performance test run demonstrating compliance with the PM (or TSM) emission limitation (daily block average).
    b. This option is only for boilers and process heaters not subject to PM CPMS or continuous compliance with an opacity limit (i.e., dry ESP). Maintain the 30-day rolling average total secondary electric power input of the electrostatic precipitator at or above the operating limits established during the performance test according to § 63.7530(b) and Table 7 to this subpart.
    5. Dry scrubber or carbon injection control on a boiler or process heater not using a mercury CEMS Maintain the minimum sorbent or carbon injection rate as defined in § 63.7575 of this subpart.
    6. Any other add-on air pollution control type on a boiler or process heater not using a PM CPMS This option is for boilers and process heaters that operate dry control systems. Existing and new boilers and process heaters must maintain opacity to less than or equal to 10 percent opacity or the highest hourly average opacity reading measured during the performance test run demonstrating compliance with the PM (or TSM) emission limitation (daily block average).
    7. Performance testing For boilers and process heaters that demonstrate compliance with a performance test, maintain the 30-day rolling average operating load of each unit such that it does not exceed 110 percent of the highest hourly average operating load recorded during the performance test.
    8. Oxygen analyzer system For boilers and process heaters subject to a CO emission limit that demonstrate compliance with an O2 analyzer system as specified in § 63.7525(a), maintain the 30-day rolling average oxygen content at or above the lowest hourly average oxygen concentration measured during the CO performance test, as specified in Table 8. This requirement does not apply to units that install an oxygen trim system since these units will set the trim system to the level specified in § 63.7525(a).
    9. SO2 CEMS For boilers or process heaters subject to an HCl emission limit that demonstrate compliance with an SO2 CEMS, maintain the 30-day rolling average SO2 emission rate at or below the highest hourly average SO2 concentration measured during the HCl performance test, as specified in Table 8.
