15A N.C. Admin. Code 02D .0515 - PARTICULATES FROM MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
(a) The allowable emission rates for
particulate matter from any stack, vent, or outlet, resulting from any
industrial process for which no other emission control standards are
applicable, shall not exceed the level calculated with the equation E =
4.10(P)0.67 calculated to three significant figures
for process rates less than or equal to 30 tons per hour. For process rates
greater than 30 tons per hour, the allowable emission rates for particulate
matter shall not exceed the level calculated with the equation E =
55.0(P)0.11- 40 calculated to three significant
figures. For the purpose of these equations "E" equals the maximum allowable
emission rate for particulate matter in pounds per hour and "P" equals the
process rate in tons per hour.
(b)
Process rate means the total weight of all materials introduced into any
specific process that may cause any emission of particulate matter. Solid fuels
charged are considered as part of the process weight, but liquid and gaseous
fuels and combustion air are not. For a cyclical or batch operation, the
process rate is derived by dividing the total process weight by the number of
hours in one complete operation from the beginning of any given process to the
completion thereof, excluding any time during which the equipment is idle. For
a continuous operation, the process rate is derived by dividing the process
weight for a typical period of time by the number of hours in that typical
period of time.
