dispersive infrared method or by other methods approved by the Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency (Agency) according to the provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201.

Section 216.102 Abbreviations and Conversion Factors

a) The following abbreviations are used in this Part:

British thermal unit (60

million btu per hour

Megawatts; one million watts

parts per million

b) The following conversion factors have been used in this Part:

Section 216.103 Definitions

The definitions contained in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 201 and 211 apply to this Part.

Section 216.104 Incorporations by Reference

The following materials are incorporated by reference: non-dispersive infrared method,

40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 10 (1982).

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

(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

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.

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

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.
