An incinerator burning hazardous waste
must
shall be
designed, constructed, and maintained so that, when operated in accordance with
operating requirements specified under rule
3745-57-45
of the Administrative Code, it will
meet
the incinerator meets the following
performance standards:
(A)
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (A)(2) of
this rule, an incinerator burning hazardous waste
must
shall achieve a
destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99 per cent for each principal
organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under rule
3745-57-42
of the Administrative Code) in
its
the incinerator's permit for each waste feed. DRE is
determined for each POHC from the following equation:
DRE = (Win -
Wout) / Win x 100%
Where:
Win = Mass feed rate of one
principal organic hazardous constituent
(POHC) in the waste stream feeding
the incinerator, and
Wout = Mass emission rate of the same
POHC present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere.
(2) An incinerator burning
hazardous waste F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027
must
shall
achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999 per cent for each
principal organic hazardous constituent
(POHC
) designated (under rule
3745-57-42
of the Administrative Code) in
its
the incinerator's permit. This performance
must
shall be
demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-,
penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is determined
for each POHC from the equation in paragraph (A)(1) of this
rule.
(B) An incinerator
burning hazardous waste and producing stack emission of more than 1.8 kilograms
per hour (four pounds per hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl)
must
shall
control HCl emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the
larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or one per cent of the HCl in the stack
gas prior to
entering
the stack gas' entry into any pollution control
equipment.
(C) An incinerator
burning hazardous waste
must
shall not emit particulate matter exceeding one
hundred eighty milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry
standard cubic foot) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas
according to the formula:
Pc = Mc x [ 14 /
(21 - Y) ]
Where:
Pc = the corrected concentration of
particulate matter,
Mc = the measured concentration of
particulate matter, and
Y = the measured concentration of oxygen in the stack gas,
using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in 40 CFR
Part 60 , "Appendix A" (method 3).
This correction procedure is to be used by all hazardous waste
incinerators except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment. For
these facilities, the director will select an appropriate correction
procedure.
(D) For purposes
of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in
the permit (under rule
3745-57-45
of the Administrative Code)
will be
is regarded as compliance with this rule. However,
evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure
compliance with the performance requirements of this rule may be "information"
justifying modification or revocation of the permit under rule
3745-50-51
or
3745-50-53 of
the Administrative Code.
