Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-19-30 - General provisions
(A) These
regulations apply to installations in which fuel is burned for the primary
purpose of producing steam, hot water, or hot air or other indirect heating of
liquids, gases, or solids and, in the course of doing so, the products of
combustion do not come into direct contact with process materials. Fuels
include those such as coal, coke, lignite, coke breeze, gas, fuel oil, and
wood, but do not include refuse. When any products or by-products of a
manufacturing process are burned for the same purpose or in conjunction with
any fuel, the same maximum emission limitations shall apply.
(B) The heat content of coal shall be
determined according to ASTM method D-271-64 "laboratory sampling and analysis
of coal and coke" or ASTM method D-2015-66 "gross calorific value of solid fuel
by the adiabatic bomb calorimeter," their replacements or other recognized
method as approved by the department. The heat content of oil shall be
determined according to ASTM method D-240-64 "heat of combustion of liquid
hydrocarbons by bomb calorimeter," or by its replacement, or other recognized
method as approved by the department.
(C) For purposes of this regulation the heat
input shall be the aggregate heat content of all fuels whose products of
combustion pass through a stack or stacks. The heat input value used shall be
the equipment manufacturer's or designer's guaranteed maximum input, whichever
is greater. The total heat input of all fuel burning units at a plant or on a
premise shall be used for determining the maximum allowable amount of
particulate matter which may be emitted.
