June 9, 2020
As required in §63.2455, you must meet each emission limit and work practice standard in the following table that applies to your continuous process vents:

For each . . . | For which . . . | Then you must . . . |
---|---|---|
1. Group 1 continuous process vent | a. Not applicable | i. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by ≥98 percent by weight or to an outlet process concentration ≤20 ppmv as organic HAP or TOC by venting emissions through a closed-vent system to any combination of control devices (except a flare); or |
ii. Reduce emissions of total organic HAP by venting emissions through a closed vent system to a flare; or | ||
iii. Use a recovery device to maintain the TRE above 1.9 for an existing source or above 5.0 for a new source. | ||
2. Halogenated Group 1 continuous process vent stream | a. You use a combustion control device to control organic HAP emissions | i. Use a halogen reduction device after the combustion device to reduce emissions of hydrogen halide and halogen HAP by ≥99 percent by weight, or to ≤0.45 kg/hr, or to ≤20 ppmv; or ii. Use a halogen reduction device before the combustion device to reduce the halogen atom mass emission rate to ≤0.45 kg/hr or to a concentration ≤20 ppmv. |
3. Group 2 continuous process vent at an existing source | You use a recovery device to maintain the TRE level >1.9 but ≤5.0 | Comply with the requirements in §63.993 and the requirements referenced therein. |
4. Group 2 continuous process vent at a new source | You use a recovery device to maintain the TRE level >5.0 but ≤8.0 | Comply with the requirements in §63.993 and the requirements referenced therein. |
