NESHAP

Overview

Boiler MACT Reconsiderations


• National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAP) – 40 CFR Part 63

– Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)

• Industrial, Commercial, & Institutional Boilers & Process

Heaters

• Subpart DDDDD (5D) – Major Source

• Subpart JJJJJJ (6J) – Area Source

• Major source = PTE > 10 tpy HAP or > 25 tpy combined HAPs

• Area source = less than major source

Rules


Timeline

• Final Rule 1/31/13

• Proposed Reconsideration of 5D and 6J on

1/21/15

• Comment deadline 3/9/15

• > 65,000 comments for 5D

• > 42,000 comments for 6J

• Compliance Date 1/31/16


• Startup and shutdown definitions and work

practice standards for engaging control devices

• Comments for carbon monoxide (CO) limits (not

revised)

• Use of Particulate matter (PM) continuous

parametric monitoring system (CPMS) and

parameter exceedance consequences (not revised)

Subpart 5D Reconsideration


Subpart 6J Reconsideration

• Startup and shutdown definitions

• New ultra low-sulfur oil-fired boilers – exclusion of initial testing

• Subcategory for limited-use boilers and standards (not revised)

• PM testing - exclusion of continuous testing (not revised)

• Fuel sampling (coal) – exclusion of continuous sampling (not revised)


Subparts 5D & 6J Startup Definition

• Comply with definition in final rule or new definition

• Both include = the first-ever firing or after a shutdown

• Final rule definition = Supplying steam or heat for heating and/or producing electricity, or for any other purpose, or the firing of fuel in a boiler after a shutdown event for any purpose. Startup ends when any of the steam or heat from the boiler or process heater is supplied for heating, and/or producing electricity, or for any other purpose

• Proposed new definition = Startup begins when fuel is fired for the purpose of supplying “useful thermal energy” and ends 4 hours thereafter


Subparts 5D & 6J Shutdown Definition

• Final rule definition = Cessation of operation for any purpose.

Shutdown begins either when none of the steam from the boiler

is supplied for heating and/or producing electricity, or for any

other purpose, or at the point of no fuel being fired in the boiler

or process heater, whichever is earlier. Shutdown ends when

there is no steam and no heat being supplied and no fuel being

fired in the boiler or process heater.

• Proposed new definition = Shutdown begins when the boiler no

longer makes “useful thermal energy” … or when no fuel is being

fed to the boiler, whichever is earlier. Shutdown ends where no

longer making useful thermal energy, generates electricity, or no

fuel is being combusted.


Additional Clarifications/Corrections

• Compliance date for new/reconstructed 4/1/13 (was 1/31/13)

• Affirmative defense exclusion for violations of standards during malfunctions

• Include deviations from startup/shutdown work practice standard in compliance report

• Specific startup records required

• Monitoring provision changes

• Many more corrections!


Next Steps

• Compliance Date 1/31/16 – Tune-up deadline

– Energy assessment deadline

• Initial compliance demonstration within 180 days – 7/29/16 – Notice of Intent to Test – 60 days prior

• Compliance status notification - 60 days after test

Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources – NESHAP VVVVVV


• National Emission Standards for Hazardous

Air Pollutants (NESHAP) – 40 CFR Part 63

• Subpart VVVVVV (6V)

• Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources

• Area source = PTE < 10 tpy HAP or < 25 tpy

combined HAPs
