Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a)
Operating Procedures: No person shall operate a cold cleaning degreaser unless:
1) Waste solvent is stored in covered
containers only and not disposed of in such a manner that more than 20% of the
waste solvent (by weight) is allowed to evaporate into the
atmosphere;
2) The cover of the
degreaser is closed when parts are not being handled; and
3) Parts are drained until dripping
ceases.
b) Equipment
Requirements: No person shall operate a cold cleaning degreaser unless:
1) The degreaser is equipped with a cover
which is closed whenever parts are not being handled in the cleaner. The cover
shall be designed to be easily operated with one hand or with the mechanical
assistance of springs, counter-weights or a powered system if:
A) The solvent vapor pressure is greater than
2 kPa (15 mmHg or 0.3 psi) measured at 38° C (100° F);
B) The solvent is agitated; or
C) The solvent is heated above ambient room
temperature.
2) The
degreaser is equipped with a device for draining cleaned parts. The drainage
device shall be constructed so that parts are enclosed under the cover while
draining unless:
A) The solvent vapor
pressure is less than
4.3 kPa (32 mmHg or 0.6
psi) measured at 38° C (100° F); or
B) An internal drainage device cannot be
fitted into the cleaning system, in which case the drainage device may be
external.
3) The
degreaser is equipped with one of the following control devices if the vapor
pressure of the solvent is greater than
4.3 kPa (32 mmHg or 0.6
psi) measured at 38° C (100° F) or if the solvent is heated above
50° C (120° F) or its boiling point:
A) A freeboard height of
7/10 of the
inside width of the tank or 91 cm (36 in), whichever is less; or
B) Any other equipment or system of
equivalent emission control as approved by the Agency and further processed
consistent with Section
218.108
of this Part. Such a system may include a water cover, refrigerated chiller or
carbon adsorber.
4) A
permanent conspicuous label summarizing the operating procedure is affixed to
the degreaser; and
5) If a solvent
spray is used, the degreaser is equipped with a solid fluid stream spray,
rather than a fine, atomized or shower spray.
c) Material and Control Requirements:
1) On and after March 15, 1999, no person
shall:
A) Cause or allow the sale of solvent
with a vapor pressure which exceeds 2.0 mmHg (0.038 psi) measured at 20° C
(68° F) in units greater than five gallons, for use in cold cleaning
degreasing operations located in the area covered by Section
218.103 of this
Part.
B) Operate a cold cleaning
degreaser with a solvent vapor pressure which exceeds 2.0 mmHg (0.038 psi)
measured at 20° C (68° F).
2) On and after March 15, 2001, no person
shall:
A) Cause or allow the sale of solvent
with a vapor pressure which exceeds 1.0 mmHg (0.019 psi) measured at 20° C
(68° F) in units greater than five gallons, for use in cold cleaning
degreasing operations located in the area covered by Section
218.103 of this
Part.
B) Operate a cold cleaning
degreaser with a solvent vapor pressure which exceeds 1.0 mmHg (0.019 psi)
measured at 20° C (68° F).
3) On and after May 30, 2007 no person shall:
A) Cause or allow the sale of solvent with a
vapor pressure which exceeds 1.0 mmHg (0.019 psi) measured at 20° C
(68° F) in units greater than five gallons, for use in cold cleaning
degreasing operations located in the area covered by Section
218.103 of this
Part, unless the purchaser provides a copy of a valid State or federal
construction or operating permit or a copy of the Federal Register
demonstrating that the purchaser is in compliance with the control requirements
of subsection (c)(4) of this Section or is exempt under subsection (f) or (g)
of this Section.
B) Operate a cold
cleaning degreaser with a solvent vapor pressure which exceeds 1.0 mmHg (0.019
psi) measured at 20° C (68° F), unless the person is in compliance with
the control requirements of subsection (c)(4) of this Section or is exempt
under subsection (f) or (g) of this Section.
4) Control Requirements:
A) A person may operate a cold cleaning
degreaser using solvent with a vapor pressure greater than 1.0 mmHg (0.019 psi)
but less than 56 mmHg (1.064 psi) measured at 20° C (68° F) provided
add-on control devices demonstrating at least 95 percent overall capture and
control of emissions are used. The add-on controls may include, but are not
limited to, carbon adsorbers or afterburners.
B) An equivalent alternative control plan may
be used to meet the control requirements of this Section pursuant to Section
218.108
of this Part. Pursuant to the material requirements of subsection (c)(3)(B) of
this Section, a solvent with a vapor pressure of 1.0 mmHg (0.019 psi) measured
at 20° C (68° F) shall be the basis for assessment of equivalent
emissions from any equivalent alternative control plan. If used as an
equivalent alternative control plan, an add-on control must demonstrate at
least a 95 percent overall capture and control efficiency. A control plan
approved by the Agency shall be effective only when included in a federally
enforceable permit or approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision pursuant to
Section
218.108
of this Part.
C) Add-on controls
operating at a source prior to May 30, 2007, shall be tested by August 31,
2007. Add-on controls constructed on or after May 30, 2007, shall be tested
within 90 days after initial startup. Testing procedures and recordkeeping for
add-on controls and equivalent alternative controls subject to subsections
(c)(4)(A) and (B) of this Section are to be performed pursuant to Section
218.105(c), (d), (e)
and (f) of this Part.
