Universal Citation: 06 ME Code Rules § 096-123-7

Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

A.Within 60 days from the date upon which this regulation becomes applicable to a source, that source shall submit the following information to the Department for each control device:

(1) Control device identification number and model number;

(2) Manufacturer;

(3) Installation date;

(4) Coating line(s) controlled;

(5) Whether or not the control device always is in operation when the line(s) it is serving is in operation;

(6) Type of control device;

(7) Destruction or removal efficiency;

(8) Date tested (If not tested, method of determining destruction efficiency);

(9) For thermal incinerators - design combustion temperature (oF);

(10) For catalytic incinerators - design exhaust gas temperature (oF), design temperature rise across catalyst bed (oF), anticipated frequency of catalyst change;

(11) For a condenser - design inlet temperature of cooling medium (oF), design exhaust gas temperature (oF);

(12) For a carbon adsorber - design pressure drop across the adsorber, VOC concentration at breakthrough;

(13) Emission test results - inlet VOC concentration (ppm), outlet VOC concentration (ppm), method of concentration determination, date of determination;

(14) Type and location of capture system;

(15) Capture efficiency (%); and

(16) Method of determining capture efficiency.

B.The source shall continuously monitor and record the following parameters:

(1) For thermal incinerators - exhaust gas temperature (oF);

(2) For catalytic incinerators - exhaust gas temperature (oF), temperature rise across catalyst bed (oF);

(3) For condensers - inlet temperature of cooling medium (oF), exhaust gas temperature (oF); and

(4) For carbon adsorbers - pressure drop across the adsorber, VOC concentration for breakthrough.

C. For catalytic incinerators, the source shall record the date of last change of catalyst in the bed.

D.Copies of all records and reports required by this regulation must be kept at the source for a minimum period of two years. These records shall be available during normal business hours and copies provided to the Department upon request.
