Kansas Administrative Regulations › Agency 28 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT › Article 19 - AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS AND AIR POLLUTION CONTROL › Section 28-19-20 - Particulate matter emission limitations

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 28, July 11,
			 2024
(a) Subject to the
			 provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-9 and 28-19-11, no person shall cause, suffer, allow
			 or permit the emission of particulate matter from any processing machine,
			 equipment, device or other articles, or combination thereof, excluding indirect
			 heating equipment and incinerators, in excess of the amounts allowed in table
			 P-1 during any one hour.
(b) For
			 the purposes of this regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) "Process weight" shall mean the total
			 weight of all materials introduced into a source operation which may
			 constitute, or form, a source of particulate matter emissions. In the case of
			 direct heating operations, any solid fuel used shall be included as part of the
			 process weight, but liquid and gaseous fuels and combustion air shall not be
			 included.
(2) "Process weight
			 rate" shall mean the total process weight introduced into the source operation
			 over a specific time period divided by that time period in hours. For a
			 cyclical or batch operation, the time period shall be that time required to
			 complete one operation or an integral number of cycles, and for continuous or
			 long-run steady-state operations, time period shall be the total operating time
			 or a typical portion.
(3) "Source
			 operation" shall mean the last operation preceding the emission of particulate
			 matter, which results in the separation of the particulate matter emissions
			 from the processed materials or the conversion of the processed materials into
			 the particulate matter emissions, excluding those operations which are an
			 integral part of the functioning of a control device.

Interpolation of the data in table P-1 for other process
				weights shall be accomplished by use of the following equations:
Process weight &#60;= 30 ton/hr, E = (4.1) (P0.67)
Process weight &#62; 30 ton/hr, E = (55) (P0.11) =n 40
Where: E = rate of emissions in lb/hr.
P = process weight in ton/hr.
Where the nature of any process or operation or design of any
				equipment permits more than one interpretation of these definitions, the
				interpretation that results in the minimum allowable emission rate shall apply.
