The system includes har d piping, all process drains and junction boxes, manholes, sumps, and lift stations, conveying wastewater. A segregated storm water sewer system, which is a drain and collection system designed and operated for the sole purpose of collecting rainfall-runoff at a facility, and which is segregated from all other individual drain systems, is excluded from this definition.

211 LEAK: A leak is: 211.1 The dripping of liquid containing VOC in excess of three drops per minute; or 211.2 A reading as methane on a portable hydrocarbon detection instrument of 500 part per million pursuant to Sections 305.5 and 305.6 as applicable or greater above background when measured within one centimeter of the source; or 211.3 The appearance of a visible mist.

212 MAINTENANCE WASTEWATER: Wastewater generated by the draining of process fluid from components in the chemical manufacturing process unit into an individual drain system prior to or during maintenance activities. Maintenance wastewater can be generated during planned and unplanned shutdowns and during periods not associated with a shutdown. Examples of activities that can generate maintenance wastewater include descaling of heat exchanger tubing bundles, cleaning of distillation column traps, draining of low legs and high point bleeds, dr aining of pumps into an individual drain system, and draining of portions of the chemic al manufacturing process unit for repair.

Limita tions on the physical or operational design capacity, including emissions control devices and limitations on hours of operation, may be considered only if such limitations are federally enforceable.

219 PROCESS: A process is a logical grouping of processing equipment which collectively functions to produce a product or isolated intermediate. A process may consist of one or more unit operations. A process includes all or a combination of reaction, recovery, separation, purification, or other activity, operation, manufacture, or treatment which are used to produce a product or isolated intermediate. The physical boundaries of a process are flexible, providing a process ends with a product or isolated intermediate, or with cessation of on-site processing. A nondedicated solvent recovery or nondedicated formulation operation which serves more than one process to recover or formulate numerous materials and/or products is considered as a single process.

220 PROCESS CONDENSER : A condenser whose primary purpose is to recover material as an integral part of a unit operation.

The condenser must support a vapor-to-liquid phase change for periods of source equipment operation that are above the boiling or bubble point of substance(s). Examples of process condensers include distillation condensers, reflux condensers, process condensers in line prior to the vacuum source, and process condensers used in stripping or flashing operations.

221 PROCESS TANK: A process tank is a tank, located within the bounds of a process, which is used for mixing, separating, blending, heating, treating and/or collecting material discharged from a feedstock storage tank or unit operation within the process, and which transfers this material to another unit operation within the process or a product storage tank.

Examples of process tanks, include surge control vessels, bottoms receivers, enclosed oil and water separators, or enclosed gravity separators.

222 PROCESS VENT: A vent from a unit operation through which has VOC-containing gas stream, or has the potential to be released into the atmosphere. Examples of process vents include, but are not limited to, vents on bottom receivers, surge control vessels, reactors, filters, centrifuges, wastewater tanks, process tanks and condensers used for product recovery.

223 PROCESS WASTEWATER: Wastewater which, during manufacturing or processing, comes into direct contact with or results from the production or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, by-product, or waste product. Examples are product tank drawdown or feed tank drawdown; water formed during a chemical reaction or used as a reactant; water used to wash impurities from organic products or reactants; water used to cool or quench organic vapor streams through direct contact; and condensed steam from jet ejector systems pulling vacuum on vessels containing organics.

224 PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT EXHAUST SYSTEM: An arrangement of hood, ductwork and/or stack which collects one or more process vents and discharges into the atmosphere. For the purposes of Section 303, the emission is the total amount of VOC collected and released to the atmosphere.
