incinerator, required emission limits for specific
compounds are given in the National Emission
Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)
Standard. The MACT standard is scheduled to be
finalized the end of 1998 and will not appear in
hard copies of the 40 CFR 63 until the July 1999
edition is issued by EPA. Until the 1999 CFR is
available, it will be necessary for designers to
obtain the Federal Register in which the new
standard is given.
Establishing and enforcing air regulations is
primarily done at the State level; therefore, it is
critical that designers research State specific
requirements applicable to the unit.
The BDT control device is a combustion device
capable of reducing NMOC emissions by 98
weight-percent or an outlet NMOC concentration of 20
ppmv or less. The EPA 98 percent DRE requirement
applies to total emissions as determined by stack
gas analysis (to include aerosols, particulates,
VOCs, etc.), not individual contaminants, and may
not be attainable on individual contaminants in long
term performance.
Include appropriate off-gas discharge requirements
(or DRE) and products of incomplete combustion (if
appropriate). Use energy conservation/recovery on
long term or high volume devices.
