1.0 INTRODUCTION 

Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC (Veolia) owns and operates two fixed hearth incinerators 

(Units 2 and 3) and a rotary kiln incinerator (Unit 4) at its facility located in Sauget, Illinois. The 

incinerators are subject to the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC), 40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart EEE (§ 63.1200 

to § 63.1221). The NESHAP specifies emissions standards which reflect emissions performance 

of Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (MACT), and is commonly referred to as the 

H WC MACT. 

The HWC MACT Standard defines the control of emissions during normal, day-to-day 

operations. In order to address the control of emissions during transient periods, the 

development of a Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan (SSMP) is required. Startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) are defined in § 63.2 as follows: 

• Startup - the setting in operation of an affected source or portion of an affected source for 

any purpose 

• Shutdown - the cessation of operation of an affected source or portion of an affected 

source for any purpose 

• Malfunction - any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably preventable failure of air 

pollution control and monitoring equipment, process equipment, or a process to operate 

in a normal or usual manner which causes, or has the potential to cause, the emission 

limitations in an applicable standard to be exceeded. Failures that are caused in part by 

poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions 

During these transient periods of operations, a source must conform with its SSMP. Therefore, 

during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunctions the operating and maintaining of the 

incinerator will be consistent with the procedures and corrective actions that are prescribed in 

this plan. This will ensure that emissions are minimized, to the extent practical. 

The purpose of this startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is to: 

• Prescribe procedures for operating the incinerator systems during periods of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction that are consistent with safety and good air pollution control 

practices 

• Describe measures for the prevention and minimization of excess emissions during 

periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction 

• Reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction 

• Satisfy the requirements of § 63.1206(c) and § 63.6(e)(3), as shown in Table 1-1 

1 
Due to the similarity of the three incinerator systems, general references to an incinerator in this 

document will imply all three incinerator systems. Infonnation that is only applicable to one or 

two of the three units will be clearly identified either parenthetically or delineated by the section 

heading. 

As required by §§ 63.6(e)(v) and 63.6(e)(vi), this plan and other documents containing 

procedures or information referred to in this plan will be made available for inspection when 

requested by the Administrator. If Veolia is required to submit copies of this plan or portions of 

this plan (or related documents) confidential business information entitled to protection from 

disclosure will be clearly designated. 

The remainder of this section provides an overview of regulatory requirements and a program for 

compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Section 2.0 references an 

engineering description of the incinerator, air pollution control system, and continuous 

monitoring system. Section 3.0 addresses the startup and shutdown of the incinerator system. 

Section 4.0 addresses potential malfunctions of the incinerator system. 

1.1 Regulatory Requirements 

One of the objectives for this document is to establish a program that will ensure compliance 

with relevant sections of the Interim MAC T Standards. Table 1-1 includes the regulatory 

requirements and the location of each requirement addressed herein. 

1.2 Recordkeeping and Reporting Procedures 

This section addresses the recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to periods of SSM. 

The startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports discussed in this plan ensure that Veolia is 

satisfying the general duty to minimize emissions and document that actions taken during those 

periods are consistent with this plan. These reports and records provide the necessary 

documentation to shield transient events from the HWC MACT emission standards imposed on 

steady-state operations. 

As long as actions taken during a transient event sufficiently maintain the incinerator system 

within limits, there is no justification in distinguishing that event from steady-state operations. 

For example, problems may arise that meet the definition of a malfunction yet do not impact the 

ability to maintain the incinerator system within limits. In these cases, maintaining the 

incinerator system within limits substantiates that the actions taken sufficiently met the 

objectives of this SSMP and minimized emissions to a greater degree than required by 

regulations.

Accordingly, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements presented in this section are 

only applicable to periods of SSM in which there is a reasonable expectation that an OPL 

or emission standard can not be met. This includes all startups, all shutdowns, and all 

malfunctions that result in an exceedance of an operating limit or emission standard. 

Malfunctions that prevent the ability to document on-going compliance are also subject to 

recordkeeping and reporting requirements. 

This plan, all revisions to this plan, and all records and reports described in this section 

will be retained in the operating record for at least five years. 

1.2.1 Records 

SSM records will include the following: 

• Date and time of each SSM 

• The duration of each SSM 

• Documentation to demonstrate that actions taken during periods of SSM are 

consistent with this SSMP 

• Description of any actions taken during periods of SSM that are not consistent 

with procedures in this SSMP 

• Results of investigations and evaluations of excessive exceedances occurring 

during malfunctions 

Attachments 1, 2, and 3 are blank recordkeeping forms for startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions, respectively. The information recorded on these forms will be utilized to 

document conformance with the SSMP and to comply with the reporting requirements. 

The startup, shutdown, and malfunction reporting requirements are described in the next 

section. 

1.2.2 Reports 

Revisions to this SSMP may be made without prior agency approval to reflect changes in 

equipment and procedures and to meet the regulatory requirements. Any such revisions 

made during a semiannual reporting period will be submitted with the periodic SSM 

report. Revisions to this plan—which alter the scope of activities during a startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction—will not take effect until a written notice, describing the 

revisions, is submitted to the permitting authority. Changes made to this plan that may 

significantly increase emissions are subject to approval by the Administrator. A written 

request for approval of the changes and the revised SSMP will be submitted to the 

4 
Administrator within 5 days after making such a change to this plan. Should an SSM 

event occur that is not addressed or inadequately addressed in this SSMP, Veolia will 

make the appropriate revisions to this plan within 45 days after the event. 

An investigation and evaluation will be performed on each set of 10 exceedances of a 

specific emission standard or a specific operating parameter limit that occur during 

malfunctions within a 60 day period. Within 45 days of the 10 exceedance, the 

investigation will determine plausible causes for each excessive exceedance. The 

evaluation will conclude how to minimize the frequency, duration, and severity of each 

excessive exceedance. The excessive emissions report required under § 63.10(e)(3) will 

include a summary of each investigation and evaluation required during the semiannual 

reporting period. In addition, the excessive emissions report will include any changes to 

this plan that may result from required investigations and evaluations of excessive 

exceedances occurring during malfunctions. 

Periodic SSM reports will be submitted to the Administrator semiannually, if a startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction occurred during that semiannual reporting period. This report 

will take the form of a letter to the Administrator and include the following information: 

• A statement that actions taken during all periods of startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction were consistent with the procedures given in this SSMP 

• The number, duration, and a brief description of each malfunction 

• The name, title, and signature of the owner/operator (or other responsible official) 

certifying the accuracy of the report 

An immediate SSM report will be submitted if an action performed during a period of 

SSM is not consistent with this plan; and an OPL or emission standard is exceeded. 

Within two working days after such an action, the Administrator will be advised via 

telephone or fax. Within 7 working days after such an action, a letter to the 

Administrator will be delivered or postmarked. The letter will explain the event, reasons 

for not following this plan, and descriptions of the excess emissions and/or operating 

parameter monitoring exceedances believed to have occurred. The letter will also include 

the name, title, and signature of the owner/operator (or other responsible official) 

certifying the accuracy of the report.

the Unit 3 secondary combustion chamber. Off gases from a waste handling glove box 

are also fed directly to the Unit 3 secondary combustion chamber. 

The primary combustion chamber main burner and the secondary combustion chamber 

main burner are used to maintain temperatures on natural gas. Combustion gases exit the 

primary combustion chamber and enter into the secondary combustion chamber, which 

serves as an afterburner. Combustion gases exit the secondary combustion chamber and 

enter the SDA. The secondary combustion chamber is equipped with an emergency 

stack. 

Lime slurry and water are fed to the SDA atomizer. The atomizer has a rapidly spinning 

wheel that atomizes the lime slurry and water into a cloud of fine droplets. Combustion 

gases are directed upward through a disperser in the SDA and into the cloud of fine 

droplet created by the atomizer. This provides acid gas removal and cooling of the 

combustion gas. Dried spent chemicals and ash settle to the bottom of the SDA and are 

discharged to the ash removal system. 

Combustion gas exits the SDA and is distributed to the fabric filter modules. Unit 2 has 

four fabric filter modules and Unit 3 has three fabric filter modules. Combustion gas 

passes through Teflon-coated fiberglass cloth bags. Particles in the combustion gases are 

deposited on the outside of each bag in the filter module. During the bag cleaning cycle, 

a burst of air in the direction opposite to the gas flow dislodges particulate matter from 

the bag. 

The induced draft fan is located downstream of the fabric filter baghouse. The induced 

draft fan moves the combustion gas through the system and exhausts the gas through the 

main stack. 

Hot, wet gas is extracted downstream of the baghouse througli a continuous emissions 

monitoring system. This system features a multi-component infrared gas analyzer that 

detects hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and water vapor concentrations. An 

integrated zirconium oxide-based analyzer detects oxygen concentrations. 

2.2 Rotary Kiln Incinerator 

The rotary kiln incinerator includes the following components: 

• Waste feed system 

9 
• Primary and secondary combustion chambers 

• Tempering chamber 

• Lime injection system 

• Spray dryer absorber 

• Carbon injection system 

• Fabric filter baghouse 

• Solids and ash removal systems 

• Induced draft (ID) fan and stack 

• Instrumentation, controls, and data acquisition systems 

Figure 2-3 presents a block flow diagram of the Unit 4 incinerator system. 

A variety of solid and liquid wastes are thermally treated in the rotary kiln incinerator. 

Solid wastes are fed to a ram feeder via a clamshell, a drum feed conveyor and an 

auxiliary feed conveyor. A hydraulic ram pushes the solid waste into the kiln. Liquid 

waste from tanks and tanker trucks is fed to the primary and secondary combustion 

chambers through atomized liquid injectors. 

The primary combustion chamber main burner and the secondary combustion chamber 

main burner are used to maintain temperatures on natural gas. Combustion gases exit the 

primary combustion chamber and enter into the secondary combustion chamber, which 

serves as an afterburner. A surge vent is located at the front of the kiln and the secondary 

combustion chamber is equipped with a thermal relief vent. 

Combustion gases exit the secondary combustion chamber and enter the tempering 

chamber. Process water is fed to tempering chamber through air atomized spray nozzles. 

Combustion gas is cooled as it passes through the spray of water. The water is 

completely vaporized, cooling the combustion gas. The combustion gas exits the 

tempering chamber and is distributed between two identical SDAs. 

Lime slurry is fed to each SDA through air atomized spray nozzles. Combustion gases 

are directed downward through a duct in the SDA and then dispersed symmetrically into 

the cloud of atomized lime. This provides acid gas removal and cooling of the 

combustion gas. Dried spent chemicals and ash settle to the bottom of the SDA and are 

discharged to the ash removal system.

A carbon injection system is utilized for controlling dioxin/furan and mercury emissions. 

The activated carbon is air injected into the combustion gas immediately downstream of 

the convergence of combustion gases from the SDAs. 

Combustion gases exit the SDAs and are distributed to two fabric filter modules. Each 

module has three compartments in parallel containing multiple fabric bags. Combustion 

gas passes through the fabric bags. Particles in the combustion gases are deposited on the 

outside of each bag. During the bag cleaning cycle, a burst of air in the direction 

opposite to the gas flow dislodges particulate matter from the bag. 

The induced draft fan is located downstream of the fabric filter baghouse. The induced 

draft fan moves the combustion gas through the system and exhausts the gas through the 

main stack. 

Hot, wet gas is extracted downstream of the ID fan through a continuous emissions 

monitoring system. This system features a multi-component infrared gas analyzer that 

detects hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and water vapor concentrations. An 

integrated zirconium oxide-based analyzer detects oxygen concentrations.

3.0 STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES 

The purpose of this section is to prescribe procedures for the startup and shutdown of the 

incinerator system. This section also clarifies which actions are within the scope of the 

regulatory definition of startup and shutdown. 

To satisfy the requirements of § 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(B), waste feed restriction and operating 

limits have been imposed to startups and shutdowns. During a startup, the feeding of 

hazardous waste to the incinerator will not be initiated until all operating parameters are 

within limits. Hazardous waste will not be fed during a shutdown event. 

Consistent with the requirements of § 63.1206(c)(2)(iii), Veolia will utilize an oxygen 

correction factor of 1.6 (i.e., 12.3% O2) during periods of startup and shutdown. This 

will eliminate wide variations in corrected CO concentration that can occur during startup 

and shutdown due to changes in the oxygen concentration. The oxygen correction factor 

of 1.6 is based on the average oxygen correction factor observed during normal 

operations of the incinerators. This "default" oxygen correction factor can only be 

utilized when the waste residence time in the primary combustion chamber has expired 

and when the incinerator is in startup or shutdown. 

Veolia has developed standard division practices (SDPs) for the operation of each 

incinerator system and ancillary equipment and systems. The SDPs containing startup 

and shutdown procedures for the incinerators are: 

• SDP 2201 Startup, Operation, and Shutdown of No. 2/3 Incinerators 

• SDP 2417 Startup, Operation, and Shutdown of No. 4 Incinerator 

3.1 Startup 

A l l startups are preceded by a shutdown. Depending on the purpose of the preceding 

shutdown, portions of the air pollution control system may be in service upon 

commencing a startup. This will be reflected on the startup record (see Attachments 1). 

During a startup, waste will not be introduced until all operating parameters are within 

limits. A startup event is concluded once waste is introduced and all operating 

parameters are within limits. 

Veolia's startup procedures are representative of safety and good air pollution control 

practices. The procedures are designed to minimize the potential for excess emissions by 

ensuring that all equipment is fully operational (within permit limits) prior to the 

13 
introduction of hazardous waste to the system. Adherence to these startup procedui 

will employ the knowledge and skills demonstrated through the implementation of 1 

Operator Training and Certification Program. 

14 
3.2 Normal Shutdown 

Some shutdowns will allow the primary combustion chamber to cool. Prior to these 

shutdowns, the incinerator will be burning auxiliary fuel only and the hazardous waste 

residence time will have transpired. A shutdown will be initiated with the shutoff of 

auxiliary fuel to the incinerator or by shutoff of the ID fan. Other shutdowns will be 

initiated with the cessation of all waste feeds by the operator to stabilize system operating 

parameters. Portions or all of the air pollution control system may remain in operating 

mode at the conclusion of a shutdown through the subsequent startup. 

Veolia's shutdown procedures are representative of safety and good air pollution control 

practice. The procedures are designed to minimize the potential for excess emissions by 

ensuring that all waste feeds are off and/or the hazardous waste residence time has 

transpired prior to the shutdown of the incinerator system. Adherence to these shutdown 

procedures will employ the knowledge and skills demonstrated through the 

implementation of the Operator Training and Certification Program. Procedures for 

emergency shutdown are described in the next section regarding malfunctions. 

15 
4.0 MALFUNCTIONS 

The purpose of this section of the Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction Plan is to: 

• Define potential malfunctions and their causes 

• Describe measures to minimize the frequency and severity of malfunctions. 

• Prescribe procedures for operating and maintaining the incinerator during 

malfunctions 

• Prescribe actions to correct the cause of a malfunction 

A summary of potential malfunctions and their causes is given in Table 4-1. This list of 

potential malfunctions is arranged according to unit operations. The occurrence of any 

event listed in Table 4-1 should be responded to as a malfunction and a malfunction 

recordkeeping form, included as Attachment 3, should be initiated. During the response 

to these events, it will be determined if the event meets the regulatory definition of a 

malfunction. 

4.1 Measures to Minimize the Frequency of Malfunctions 

The following measures contribute to prevent malfunctions: 

• Incinerator system design consistent with safety and good engineering practices 

• Hazards and operability studies of the incinerators 

• Appropriate frequency of preventative maintenance and inspection 

• Good operating practices 

• Well trained and qualified personnel 

Veolia's performance history, this document, and the following regulatory documents 

serve as evidence of Veolia's proactive measures to minimize the frequency of 

malfunctions. 

• Operation and Maintenance Plan 

• Operating Training and Certification Program 

• Continuous Emissions Monitoring System Quality Assurance Plan (CEMS QA 

Plan) 

• Continuous Monitoring System Quality Control Plan (CMS QC Plan) 

• Automatic Waste Feed Cutoff System Operability Test Procedures

Despite these efforts, equipment failures and other operating anomalies can occur. 

Within the scope of regulatory requirements, the operating record will contain the 

appropriate documentation to establish that poor maintenance or careless operations are 

not contributing factors to the cause of a malfunction. 

4.2 Measures to Mmimize the Severity of Malfunctions 

The following measures contribute to minimize the severity of malfunctions: 

• Alarms and interlocks 

• AWFCO testing 

• Failure positions for critical equipment 

• Well trained and qualified personnel 

• Design of the incinerator system 

Typically, an event that meets the definition of a malfunction will trigger an alarm. An 

alarm informs the operator of the situation and may provide an opportunity to avoid an 

exceedance. If conditions become unsafe or exceed operating limits, interlocks are in 

place for an automated response that is specific to the triggering condition. Refer to 

Veolia's Documentation of Compliance or Notification of Compliance, whichever is 

currently applicable, for details on AWFCO conditions. Additional details on alarms and 

interlocks are maintained on piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) 

The most critical key to minimizing the severity of malfunctions is the functionality of 

AWFCO interlocks. Accordingly, Veolia performs testing of the AWFCO system, as 

described in the AWFCO Plan. This testing confirms a state of readiness to respond to a 

malfunction in a manner that will minimize the release of hazardous air pollutants. 

Through training and job experience, the operator will have the process knowledge that 

qualifies him to use discretion in responding to malfunctions. Due to the unusual and 

dynamic conditions that are present during a malfunction, operator discretion is essential 

to minimizing the severity of malfunctions. An operator can evaluate process conditions 

and alarms and choose the best response to avoid an exceedance, if possible. If the 

malfunction adversely affects the functionality of alarms, interlocks, or fail safe positions, 

the operator must recognize the situation and respond appropriately. In the event that the 

malfunction affects the ability to automatically cutoff waste, the operator will manually 

cutoff waste feeds as quickly as possible. 

18 
The design of the each incinerator system also ensures that the severity of malfunctions 

will be minimized. This includes alarms and interlocks, the fail safe position of actuated 

valves, and redundant instrumentation and process equipment. Also, the design of each 

incinerator's instrumentation and control systems provides the operator convenient access 

to process variable indication, including position indication of selected actuated valves. 

This is essential to providing the operator the information required to best evaluate 

system conditions and responses. Table 4-2 lists potential malfunctions and associated 

redundant equipment and systems that are available to prevent these malfunctions or to 

minimize the potential for a significant release of hazardous air pollutants. 

4.3 Corrective Measures 

The Program of Corrective Actions for Malfunctions is Attachment 4 of this document. 

This program addresses how the incinerator will be operated and maintained during 

malfunctions. In this program, potential malfunctions are listed for each portion of the 

incinerator system. The malfunctions are events that will be recognized by the operator, 

or indicated by an alarm, and threaten to cause an exceedance. In the response to the 

malfunction and/or alarms, the operator will apply discretion and attempt to maintain the 

incinerator system within regulatory limits. In the program of corrective actions, 

potential causes of each malfunction are listed. The operator will utilize process 

knowledge, job experience, and, if needed, assistance from other personnel to identify the 

cause of the malfunction. For each potential cause, actions to correct the failure are 

listed. The corrective actions prescribed may require the collaboration of multidisciplined personnel who are qualified to return the incinerator system to proper working 

conditions (i.e., maintenance personnel, control system technicians, engineering).
