Definitions for subpart RRR MACT sources

Afterburner means an air pollution control device that uses controlled flame combustion to convert combustible materials to 

noncombustible gases; also known as an incinerator or a thermal oxidizer. 

Aluminum scrap means fragments of aluminum stock removed during manufacturing (i.e., machining), manufactured aluminum 

articles or parts rejected or discarded and useful only as material for reprocessing, and waste and discarded material made of 

aluminum.

Aluminum scrap shredder means a unit that crushes, grinds, or breaks aluminum scrap into a more uniform size prior to 

processing or charging to a scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating kiln, or furnace. A bale breaker is not an aluminum scrap 

shredder.

Clean charge means furnace charge materials, including molten aluminum; T-bar; sow; ingot; billet; pig; alloying elements; 

aluminum scrap known by the owner or operator to be entirely free of paints, coatings, and lubricants; uncoated/unpainted 

aluminum chips that have been thermally dried or treated by a centrifugal cleaner; aluminum scrap dried at 343 °C (650 °F) or 

higher; aluminum scrap delacquered/decoated at 482 °C (900 °F) or higher, and runaround scrap.

Cover flux means salt added to the surface of molten aluminum in a group 1 or group 2 furnace, without agitation of the molten 

aluminum, for the purpose of preventing oxidation.

Dross-only furnace means a furnace, typically of rotary barrel design, dedicated to the reclamation of aluminum from dross 

formed during melting, holding, fluxing, or alloying operations carried out in other process units. Dross and salt flux are the sole 

feedstocks to this type of furnace.

Group 1 furnace means a furnace of any design that melts, holds, or processes aluminum that contains paint, lubricants, coatings, 

or other foreign materials with or without reactive fluxing, or processes clean charge with reactive fluxing.

Group 2 furnace means a furnace of any design that melts, holds, or processes only clean charge and that performs no fluxing or 

performs fluxing using only nonreactive, non-HAP-containing/non-HAP-generating gases or agents.

In-line fluxer means a device exterior to a furnace, located in a transfer line from a furnace, used to refine (flux) molten 

aluminum; also known as a flux box, degassing box, or demagging box.

Melting/holding furnace, or melter/holder, means a group 1 furnace that processes only clean charge, performs melting, holding, 

and fluxing functions, and does not transfer molten aluminum to or from another furnace.

Rotary dross cooler means a water-cooled rotary barrel device that accelerates cooling of dross. 

Runaround scrap means scrap materials generated on-site by aluminum casting, extruding, rolling, scalping, forging, 

forming/stamping, cutting, and trimming operations and that do not contain paint or solid coatings. Uncoated/unpainted aluminum 

chips generated by turning, boring, milling, and similar machining operations may be clean charge if they have been thermally 

dried or treated by a centrifugal cleaner, but are not considered to be runaround scrap.

Scrap dryer/delacquering kiln/decoating kiln means a unit used primarily to remove various organic contaminants such as oil, 

paint, lacquer, ink, plastic, and/or rubber from aluminum scrap (including used beverage containers) prior to melting.

Secondary aluminum processing unit (SAPU): an existing SAPU means all existing group 1 furnaces and all existing in-line fluxers 

within a secondary aluminum production facility. Each existing group 1 furnace or existing in-line fluxer is considered an emission 

unit within a secondary aluminum processing unit. A new SAPU means any combination of group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers 

which are simultaneously constructed after February 11, 1999. Each of the group 1 furnaces or in-line fluxers within a new SAPU 

is considered an emission unit within that secondary aluminum processing unit.

Sidewell means an open well adjacent to the hearth of a furnace with connecting arches between the hearth and the open well 

through which molten aluminum is circulated between the hearth, where heat is applied by burners, and the open well, which is 

used for charging scrap and solid flux or salt to the furnace, injecting fluxing agents, and skimming dross.

Sweat furnace means a furnace used exclusively to reclaim aluminum from scrap that contains substantial quantities of iron by 

using heat to separate the low-melting point aluminum from the scrap while the higher melting-point iron remains in solid form.

Thermal chip dryer means a device that uses heat to evaporate water, oil, or oil/water mixtures from unpainted/uncoated 

aluminum chips.
