Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Part 724 - STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES
Subpart AA - AIR EMISSION STANDARDS FOR PROCESS VENTS
Section 724.934 - Test Methods and Procedures
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this Subpart AA must comply with the test methods and procedures requirements provided in this Section.
b) When a closed-vent system is tested for compliance with no detectable emissions, as required in Section 724.933(l), the test must comply with the following requirements:
c) Performance tests to determine compliance with Section 724.932(a) and with the total organic compound concentration limit of Section 724.933(c) must comply with the following:
Eh |
= |
Q2sd |
x |
( |
n [SIGMA] i=1 |
Ci x MWi |
) |
x 0.0416 x 10-6 |
Where:
Eh |
= |
The total organic mass flow rate, kg/h |
Q2sd |
= |
The volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting control device, dscm/h, as determined by Reference Method 2 |
n |
= |
The number of organic compounds in the vent gas |
Ci |
= |
The organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, of compound i in the vent gas, as determined by Reference Method 18 |
MWi |
= |
The molecular weight of organic compound i in the vent gas, kg/kg-mol |
0.0416 |
= |
The conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3, at 293 K and 760 mm Hg |
10-6 |
= |
The conversion factor from ppm |
Eh = Q x C x MW x 0.0416 x 10-6
Where:
Eh |
= |
The total organic mass flow rate, kg/h |
Q |
= |
The volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting control device, dscm/h, as determined by Reference Method 2 |
C |
= |
The organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, of compound i in the vent gas, as determined by Reference Method 25A |
MW |
= |
The molecular weight of propane, 44 kg/kg-mol |
0.0416 |
= |
The conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3, at 293 K and 760 mm Hg |
10-6 |
= |
The conversion factor from ppm |
A = F x H
Where:
A |
= |
total organic emission rate, kg/y |
F |
= |
the total organic mass flow rate, kg/h, as calculated in subsection (c)(1)(D) |
H |
= |
the total annual hours of operation for the affected unit, h/y |
d) To show that a process vent associated with a hazardous waste distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation is not subject to the requirements of this Subpart AA, the owner or operator must make an initial determination that the time-weighted, annual average total organic concentration of the waste managed by the waste management unit is less than 10 ppmw using one of the following two methods:
e) The determination that a distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation that manages hazardous wastes that have time-weighted, annual average total organic concentrations less than 10 ppmw must be made as follows:
f) When an owner or operator and the Agency do not agree on whether a distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation manages a hazardous waste with organic concentrations of at least 10 ppmw based on knowledge of the waste, direct measurement may be used to resolve the dispute, as specified in subsection (d)(1).
