Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 33 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part III - Air › Chapter 21 - Control of Emission of Organic Compounds › Subchapter N - Method 43-Capture Efficiency Test Procedures › Section III-2160 - Procedures

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Except as
				  provided in Subsection C of this Section, the regulations at  40 CFR 51,   appendix M, July 1, 2021, are hereby incorporated by reference.
B. The volumes containing those federal
				  regulations listed in Subsection A of this Section may be obtained from the
				  Superintendent of Documents, United States Government Printing Office,
				  Washington, DC 20402.
C.
				  Modifications and Exceptions. The following modifications and exceptions are
				  made to the incorporated federal standards.
1.
				  Method 204C, section 8.2 3.1. A sampling point shall be centrally located
				  outside of the temporary total enclosure (TTE) at four equivalent diameters
				  from each natural draft opening (NDO), if possible.
2. Other NDOs
a. This step is optional. Determine the
				  exhaust flow rate, including that of the control device, from the enclosure and
				  the intake air flow rate. If the exhaust flow rate divided by the intake air
				  flow rate is greater than 1.1, then all other NDOs are not considered to be
				  significant exhaust points.
b. If
				  the option above is not taken, identify all other NDOs and other potential
				  points through which fugitive emissions may escape the enclosure. Then use the
				  following criteria to determine whether flow rates and VOC concentrations need
				  to be measured.
i. Using the appropriate flow
				  direction indicator, determine the flow direction. An NDO with zero or inward
				  flow is not an exhaust point.
ii.
				  Measure the outward volumetric flow rate from the remainder of the NDOs. If the
				  collective flow rate is 2 percent, or less, of the flow rate from 40 CFR Part
				  51, Appendix M, Method 204E, Section 8.1 1, then these NDOs, except those
				  within two equivalent dia meters (based on NDO opening) from VOC sources, may
				  be considered to be nonexhaust points.
iii. If the percentage calculated in Clause
				  C.2.b.ii of this Section is greater than 2 percent, those NDOs (except those
				  within two equivalent diameters from VOC sources) whose volumetric flow rate
				  totals 2 percent of the flow rate from  40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M, Method 204E,
				  Section 8.1 1 may be considered as nonexhaust points. All remaining NDOs shall
				  be measured for volumetric flow rate and VOC concentrations during the capture
				  efficiency (CE) test.
iv. The
				  tester may choose to measure VOC concentrations at the forced exhaust points
				  and the NDOs. If the total VOC emissions from the NDOs are less than 2 percent
				  of the emissions from the forced draft and roof NDOs, then these NDOs may be
				  eliminated from further consideration.
