SUBPART A:  GENERAL PROVISIONS

 


Section 214.100  Scope and Organization

 

    
a) This Part sets standards and limitations for emission of sulfur from stationary sources.
b) Permit for sources subject to this Part may be required pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.
c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Part, the air quality standards contained in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 243 may not be violated.
d) This Part is divided into Subparts which are grouped as follows:
    
1) Subpart A: General Provisions
2) Subparts B - J: Fuel Combustion Emission Sources and Incinerators
3) Subparts K - M: Process Emission Sources
4) Subparts N - End: Industry and site specific rules.
 
e) These rules have been grouped for the convenience of the public; the scope of each is determined by its language and history.


Section 214.101  Measurement Methods

 

A determination of non-compliance based on any subsection of this Section shall not be refuted by evidence of compliance with any other subsection.

 

        
a) Sulfur Dioxide Measurement. Measurement of sulfur dioxide emissions from stationary sources shall be made according to an applicable method specified in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 6, 6A, 6B, or 6C, incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(a), or by measurement procedures established pursuant to 40 CFR 60.8(b), incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(b). (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 111 1/2, par. 1010.)
b) Sulfuric Acid Mist and Sulfur Trioxide Measurement. Measurement of sulfuric acid mist and sulfur trioxide shall be according to the barium-thorin titration method specified in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 8, incoporated by reference in Section 214.104(a).
c) Solid Fuel Averaging Measurement Daily Analysis Method. This subsection applies to sources at plants with total solid fuel-fired heat input capacity exceeding 439.5 MW (1500 million Btu/hr). If daily fuel analysis is used to demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections 214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a) 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421, the sulfur dioxide emission rate to be compared to the emission limit shall be considered to be the result of averaging daily samples taken over any consecutive two-month period provided no more than 5 percent of the sample values are greater than 20 percent above the sample average. If samples from a source cannot meet this statistical criterion, each individual daily sample analysis for such source shall be compared to the source's emission limit to determine compliance. The specific ASTM procedures, incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(c), shall be used for solid fuel sampling, sulfur, and heating value determinations.
e) Weekly Analysis Method. This subsection applies to sources at plants with total solid fuel-fired heat input capacity exceeding 146.5 MW (500 million Btu/hr) but not exceeding 439.5 MW (1500 million Btu/hr). These plants shall demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections 214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 by either an analysis of calendar weekly composites of daily fuel samples or by compliance with subsection (c) above, at the option of the plant. The specific ASTM procedures incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(c), shall be used for sulfur and heating value determinations.
e) Monthly Analysis Method. This subsection applies to sources at plants with total fuel-fired heat input capacity exceeding 14.65 MW (50 millions Btu/hr) but not exceeding 146.5 MW (500 million Btu/hr). These plants shall demonstrate compliance or non-compliance with Sections 214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 by either an analysis of calendar monthly composites of daily fuel samples or by compliance with subsection (c) above, at the option of the plant. ASTM procedures incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(c), shall be used for sulfur and heating value determinations.
f) Small Source Alternative Method. This subsection applies to sources at plants with total solid fuel-fired heat input capacity not exceeding 14.65 MW (50 million Btu/hr). Compliance or non-compliance with Sections 214.122, 214.141, 214.142(a), 214.162, 214.186 and 214.421 shall be demonstrated by a calendar month average sulfur dioxide emission rate.
g) Exemptions. Subsections (c) through (f) shall not apply to sources controlling sulfur dioxide emissions by flue gas desulfurization equipment or by sorbent injection.
h) Hydrogen Sulfide Measurement. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 214.382(c), the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in petroleum refinery fuel gas shall be measured using the Tutwiler Procedure specified in 40 CFR 60.648, incorporated by reference in Section 214.104(d).

APPENDIX C


Method used to Determine Average Actual


Stack Height and Effective Height


of Effluent Release

 

Q (Btu/sec) =    Heat emission rate as determined by method outlined below.

 

H (feet) =  Plume rise.

 

 
H = Physical height in feet, above grade of each stack, except that for purposes of this calculation the value used for such stack height shall not exceed good engineering practice as defined by Section 123 of the Clean Air Act and Regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the owner or operator of the source demonstrates to the Agency that a greater height is necessary to prevent downwash or fumigation conditions.
 
T (Degrees Rankine) = Exit temperature of stack gases from each source during operating conditions which would cause maximum emissions.
 
V (feet/sec) = Exit velocity of stack gases from each source under operating conditions which would cause maximum emissions.

D (feet) =    Diameter of stack.

 

 
P = Percentage of total emissions expressed as decimal equivalents emitted from each source. Example: 21% = 0.21. NOTE: The sum of P1 + P2 ... + Pn = 1. The emission values to be used are those which occur during operating conditions which would cause maximum emissions.

X =  Average actual stack height.

 

Y =  Effective height of effluent release.

 

STEP 1:  Determine weighted average stack parameters utilizing the following formulae:

 

D =  P1 D1 + P2 D2 + ... + Pn Dn

 

V =  P1 V1 + P2 V2 + ... + Pn Vn

 

T =  P1 T1 + P2 T2 + ... + Pn Tn

 

X =  P1 H1 + P2 H2 + ... + Pn Hn

 

NOTE:

 

P1, D1, V1, T1, and H1 are the percentage of total emissions, stack diameter, exit velocity of gases, exit temperature of stack gases, and physical stack height, respectively, for the first source; P2, D2, V2, T2, and H2 are the respective values for the second source; similarly, Pn, Dn, Vn, Tn and Hn are the respective values for the nth source, where n is the number of the last source.

 

 
STEP 2: Calculate heat emission rate utilizing the following formula and the weighted average stack parameters obtained in Step 1:

Q + 7.54D2V (T - 515)

T

 

 
STEP 3: Calculate plume rise utilizing the appropriate formula given below and the total heat emission rate obtained in Step 2:

H =  2.58 (Q)0.6  for Q  6000 btu/sec.

(X)0.11

 

H =  0.718 (Q)0.75  for Q  6000 btu/sec.

(X)0.11

 

 
STEP 4: Calculate the weighted average facility effective height of effluent release utilizing the plume rise obtained in Step 3, the average stack height obtained in Step 1 and the formula given below:

Y =  X + H

 

 
STEP 5: Calculate the total facility hourly emission limitation utilizing the weighted actual stack height obtained in Step 1, the effective stack height given in Step 4, and the following formula:

 

E =  (X)0.11 (Y)2
