Subpart CC - AIR EMISSION STANDARDS FOR TANKS, SURFACE IMPOUNDMENTS, AND CONTAINERS
Section 724.987 - Standards: Closed-Vent Systems and Control Devices

A) If a flow indicator is used to comply with this subsection (b)(3), the indicator must be installed at the inlet to the bypass line used to divert gases and vapors from the closed-vent system to the atmosphere at a point upstream of the control device inlet. For the purposes of this subsection (b), a flow indicator means a device that indicates the presence of either gas or vapor flow in the bypass line.

B) If a seal or locking device is used to comply with subsection (b)(3), the device must be placed on the mechanism by which the bypass device position is controlled (e.g., valve handle or damper lever) when the bypass device is in the closed position such that the bypass device cannot be opened without breaking the seal or removing the lock. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, a car-seal or a lock-and-key configuration valve. The owner or operator must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism at least once every month to verify that the bypass mechanism is maintained in the closed position.

A) A control device designed and operated to reduce the total organic content of the inlet vapor stream vented to the control device by at least 95 percent by weight;

B) An enclosed combustion device designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 724.933(c); or

C) A flare designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of Section 724.933(d).

A) Periods of planned routine maintenance of the control device, during which the control device does not meet the specifications of subsection (c)(1)(A), (c)(1)(B), or (c)(1)(C), as applicable, must not exceed 240 hours per year.

B) The specifications and requirements in subsections (c)(1)(A), (c)(1)(B), and (c)(1)(C) for control devices do not apply during periods of planned routine maintenance.

C) The specifications and requirements in subsections (c)(1)(A), (c)(1)(B), and (c)(1)(C) for control devices do not apply during a control device system malfunction.

D) The owner or operator must demonstrate compliance with the requirements of subsection (c)(2)(A) (i.e., planned routine maintenance of a control device, during which the control device does not meet the specifications of subsection (c)(1)(A), (c)(1)(B), or (c)(1)(C), as applicable, must not exceed 240 hours per year) by recording the information specified in Section 724.989(e)(1)(E).

E) The owner or operator must correct control device system malfunctions as soon as practicable after their occurrence in order to minimize excess emissions of air pollutants.

F) The owner or operator must operate the closed-vent system so that gases, vapors, or fumes are not actively vented to the control device during periods of planned maintenance or control device system malfunction (i.e., periods when the control device is not operating or not operating normally), except in cases when it is necessary to vent the gases, vapors, or fumes to avoid an unsafe condition or to implement malfunction corrective actions or planned maintenance actions.

A) Following the initial startup of the control device, all activated carbon in the control device must be replaced with fresh carbon on a regular basis, in accordance with the requirements of Section 724.933(g) or Section 724.933(h).

B) All carbon that is a hazardous waste and that is removed from the control device must be managed in accordance with the requirements of Section 724.933(n), regardless of the average volatile organic concentration of the carbon.

A) An owner or operator must demonstrate using either a performance test, as specified in subsection (c)(5)(C), or a design analysis, as specified in subsection (c)(5)(D), the performance of each control device, except for the following:

B) An owner or operator must demonstrate the performance of each flare in accordance with the requirements specified in Section 724.933(e).

C) For a performance test conducted to meet the requirements of subsection (c)(5)(A), the owner or operator must use the test methods and procedures specified in Section 724.934(c)(1) through (c)(4).

D) For a design analysis conducted to meet the requirements of subsection (c)(5)(A), the design analysis must meet the requirements specified in Section 724.935(b)(4)(C).

E) The owner or operator must demonstrate that a carbon adsorption system achieves the performance requirements of subsection (c)(1) based on the total quantity of organics vented to the atmosphere from all carbon adsorption system equipment that is used for organic adsorption, organic desorption or carbon regeneration, organic recovery, and carbon disposal.
