SUBPART B: FUEL COMBUSTION EMISSION SOURCES
Section 216.121 Fuel Combustion Emission Sources
No person shall cause or allow the emission of carbon monoxide (CO) into the atmosphere from any fuel combustion emission source with actual heat input greater than 2.9 MW (10 mmbtu/hr) to exceed 200 ppm, corrected to 50 percent excess air.
Section 216.122 Exception, Midwest Grain Products
The standard for carbon monoxide of Section 216.121 does not apply to emissions from the fluidized bed combustion boiler of Midwest Grain Products of Illinois, located in Pekin, Illinois, where the emission of carbon monoxide shall not exceed 700 parts per million, corrected to 50 percent excess air. Compliance shall be based upon a one-hour average.
(Source: Added at 12 Ill. Reg. 20774, effective December 6, 1988)
SUBPART C: INCINERATORS
Section 216.141 Incinerators
No person shall cause or allow the emission of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere from any incinerator to exceed 500 ppm, corrected to 50 percent excess air.
Section 216.142 Exceptions
Section 216.141 shall not apply to:
a) | Existing incinerators burning less than 907 kg (2000 lbs) of refuse per hour which are in compliance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 212.181(c). |
b) | Existing small explosive waste incinerators which meet the conditions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 212.184(a). |
(Source: Added at 4 Ill. Reg. 24, p. 514, effective June 4, 1980)
SUBPART N: PETROLEUM REFINING AND CHEMICAL MANUFACTURE
Section 216.361 Petroleum and Petrochemical Processes
a) | No person shall cause or allow the emission of a carbon monoxide waste gas stream into the atmosphere from a petroleum or petrochemical process unless such waste gas stream is burned in a direct flame afterburner or carbon monoxide boiler so that the resulting concentration of carbon monoxide in such waste gas stream is less than or equal to 200 ppm corrected to 50 percent excess air, or such waste gas stream is controlled by other equivalent air pollution control equipment approved by the Agency according to the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201. |
b) | Notwithstanding subsection (a), any existing petroleum or petrochemical process using catalyst regenerators of fluidized catalytic converters equipped for in situ combustion of carbon monoxide, may emit a carbon monoxide waste gas stream into the atmosphere if the carbon monoxide concentration of such waste gas stream is less than or equal to 750 ppm corrected to 50 percent excess air. |
c) | Notwithstanding subsection (a), any new petroleum or petrochemical process using catalyst regenerators of fluidized catalytic converters equipped for in situ combustion of carbon monoxide, may emit a carbon monoxide waste gas stream into the atmosphere if the carbon monoxide concentration of such waste gas stream is less than or equal to 350 ppm corrected to 50 percent excess air. |
Section 216.362 | Polybasic Organic Acid Partial Oxidation Manufacturing Processes |
No person shall cause or allow the emission of any gases containing carbon monoxide into the atmosphere from any polybasic organic acid partial oxidation manufacturing process unless the total fuel value of the waste gas stream is less than 30 percent of that required for flame incineration of the waste gas stream at 793°C (1460°F) without heat exchange. Polybasic organic acid partial oxidation manufacturing processes not meeting the above conditions shall burn such waste gas stream in a direct flame afterburner to achieve a resulting concentration of carbon monoxide in such waste gas stream of less than or equal to 200 ppm or shall employ such other equivalent control method or equipment as may be approved by the Agency according to the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.
SUBPART O: PRIMARY AND FABRICATED METAL PRODUCTS
Section 216.381 Cupolas
No person shall cause or allow the emission of gases containing carbon monoxide into the atmosphere from any cupola with a manufacturer's rated melt rate in excess of 5 tons per hour, unless such gases are burned in a direct flame afterburner so that the resulting concentration of carbon monoxide in such gases is less than or equal to 200 ppm corrected to 50 percent excess air or such gas streams are controlled by other equivalent pollution control equipment approved by the Agency according to the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.
Section 216.382 | Exception, General Motor's Ferrous Foundry in Vermilion County |
The standard for carbon monoxide of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 216.381 shall not apply to the existing ferrous foundry located adjacent to Interstate 74 at G Street in Vermilion County, owned by General Motors Corporation on the effective date of this regulation. The emission of carbon monoxide from this foundry shall not exceed 2,000 ppm corrected to 50 percent excess air.
