Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 229 - HOSPITAL/MEDICAL/INFECTIOUS WASTE INCINERATORS › Subpart L - RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS › Appendix C - Reference Test Methods and Procedures for Performance Tests

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following test methods and procedures shall be used as
				  specified in Section
				  229.140(e)
				  of this Part, when conducting any performance test for the purpose of
				  demonstrating compliance with the emissions limits established under this
				  Part.
a) All performance tests shall
				consist of a minimum of 3 test runs conducted under representative operating
				conditions. The minimum sample time of 1 hour per test run shall be used unless
				otherwise indicated. In order to demonstrate compliance with the emissions
				limits set forth in Subpart E of this Part, the arithmetic average of all 3
				performance test runs shall be used.
b) Method 1, at 40 CFR 60, incorporated by
				reference at Section
				229.104(d)
				of this Part, shall be used to select the sampling location and number of
				traverse points.
c) Method 2, at 40
				CFR 60, shall be used to determine average gas density, as well as to measure
				gas velocity.
d) Method 3, 3A, or
				3B, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used for gas composition analysis, including
				measurement of oxygen concentration. Method 3, 3A or 3B, at 40 CFR 60, shall be
				used simultaneously with each of the other reference methods. As an alternative
				to Method 3B, ASME PTC-19-10-1981-Part 10 may be used.
e) The pollutant concentrations shall be
				adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using the following equation:

f) Method
				5, 26A, or 29, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to measure PM emissions. As an
				alternative, a PM CEMS may be used in determining compliance with PM emissions
				using a 12-hour rolling average, calculated each hour as the average of the
				previous 12 operating hours.
g)
				Method 7 or 7E, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to measure
				NOx emissions.
h) Method 6 or 6C, at 40 CFR 60, shall be
				used to measure SO2 emissions.
i) Method 9, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to
				measure stack opacity. As an alternative, the use of a bag leak detection
				system or a PM CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the PM standards is
				considered demonstrative of compliance with the opacity requirements.
j) Method 10 or 10B, at 40 CFR 60, shall be
				used to measure CO emissions. As an alternative, a CO CEMS may be used to
				measure CO emissions.
k) Method 22,
				at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to measure fugitive ash emissions.
l) Method 23, at 40 CFR 60, shall be used to
				measure total dioxin/furan emissions. As an alternative, the facility may elect
				to sample total dioxins/furans by installing, calibrating, maintaining, and
				operating a continuous automated sampling system for monitoring dioxin/furan
				emissions. The minimum sample time for Method 23 sampling shall be 4 hours per
				test run. If the affected facility has selected the TEQ for dioxin/furans (set
				out in Appendix A of this Part), as provided under Section
				229.125
				or
				229.126
				of this Part, whichever is applicable, the following procedures shall be used
				to determine compliance:
1) Measure the
				concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra-through-octa-congener emitted using
				Method 23;
2) For each dioxin/furan
				congener measured in accordance with subsection (i)(1) of this Section,
				multiply the congener concentration by its corresponding TEQ factor specified
				in Appendix A of this Part; and
3)
				Sum the products calculated in accordance with subsection (i)(2) of this
				Section to obtain the total concentration of dioxin/furans emitted in terms of
				TEQ.
