In

process
unit
means
any
collection
of
structures

that
processes,

assembles,
applies,

or
otherwise
uses
material
inputs
to
produce

aan
intermediate

completed
product.
A
single
stationary
source
may
contain
more
than

unit,

may
contain
more

facility,
the
process
unit
would
consists
of
those
portions
of
the
plant
that
contribute
directly
to

For
example,
at
a
pulverized

the

would
generally
be
the
combination
of
those
systems
from
the
coal
receiving
equipment
through
the
emission
stack
(
excluding

whereas
cooling
towers,
transformers,
and

in
the

unit.
Each

a
separate
process
unit.
Components
shared
between

would
be

For
a

there
are
several
categories
of
process
units:
those
that
separate

those
that

units;
and
those
that
load,
unload,
blend
or
store
intermediate
or
completed
products.

(
c)
For
a
cement
plant,
the
process
unit
would
generally
consist
of
the
kiln
and
equipment
that
supports
it,
including
all
components
that
process
or
store
raw
materials,
preheaters,
and
components
that
process
or
store
products
from
the
kilns,
and
associated
emission
stacks.

(
d)
For
a
pulp
and
paper
mill,
there
are
several
types

system
that

products,
another
is

processes
feeding

chemicals
to
the

A
fourth
is
the
power
boiler.

(
e)
For
an
incinerator,
the
process
unit
would
consist
of
components
from
the
feed
pit
or

to
the
