Table 15 to Subpart DDDDD of Part 63—Alternative Emission Limits for Existing Boilers and Process Heaters d
[As stated in §63.7500, you may continue to comply with following emission limits until October 6, 2025: [Units with heat input capacity of 10 million Btu per hour or greater]]
If your boiler or process heater is in this subcategory . . . | For the following pollutants . . . | The emissions must not exceed the following emission limits, except during startup and shutdown . . . | The emissions must not exceed the following alternative output-based limits, except during startup and shutdown . . . | Using this specified sampling volume or test run duration . . . |
---|---|---|---|---|
a If you are conducting stack tests to demonstrate compliance and your performance tests for this pollutant for at least 2 consecutive years show that your emissions are at or below this limit, you can skip testing according to §63.7515 if all of the other provisions of §63.7515 are met. For all other pollutants that do not contain a footnote a, your performance tests for this pollutant for at least 2 consecutive years must show that your emissions are at or below 75 percent of this limit in order to qualify for skip testing. | ||||
b Incorporated by reference, see §63.14. | ||||
c An owner or operator may determine compliance with the carbon monoxide emissions limit using carbon dioxide as a diluent correction in place of oxygen as described in §63.7525(a)(1). EPA Method 19 F-factors in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, and EPA Method 19 equations in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, must be used to generate the appropriate CO 2 correction percentage for the fuel type burned in the unit, and must also take into account that the 3% oxygen correction is to be done on a dry basis. The methodology must account for any CO 2 being added to, or removed from, the emissions gas stream as a result of limestone injection, scrubber media, etc. This methodology must be detailed in the site-specific monitoring plan developed according to §63.7505(d). | ||||
d Before October 6, 2025 you may comply with the emission limits in this Table 15. On and after October 6, 2025, you must comply with the emission limits in Table 2 to this subpart. | ||||
