Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
The following words and phrases when used in the Regulations
				  and Standards shall, for the purpose of these regulations, have the meanings
				  respectively ascribed to them in this section, unless a different meaning is
				  clearly indicated. This section augments the South Carolina Pollution Control
				  Act.
(1) Acid Mist - Means mist or
				droplets of sulfuric or other acids. Sulfuric acid mist includes sulfur
				trioxide (SO3) and sulfuric acid vapor as well as liquid
				mist.
(2) Add - Means additions to
				a process which will increase size, scope, or emissions from such
				process.
(3) Administrator - Means
				the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or
				his/her designee.
(4) Afterburner -
				Means an auxiliary burner for destroying unburned or partially burned
				combustion gases after they have passed from the combustion chamber.
(5) Air Curtain Incinerator - Means an
				incinerator that operates by forcefully projecting a curtain of air across an
				open chamber or pit in which burning occurs. Incinerators of this type can be
				constructed above or below ground and require a refractory lined chamber or
				pit.
(6) Alter - Means modification
				or change in a process or processes which would affect emissions to the
				atmosphere.
(7) Ambient Air Quality
				Standards - Means the standard for the quality of ambient air at or beyond a
				property line on which a source of pollution is emitting.
(8) Application - Means a form provided by
				the Department which is prescribed to provide the information required to grant
				approval to construct and operate a source or an incinerator; or to report an
				existing incinerator.
(9)
				Biologicals - Means preparations made from living organisms and their products,
				including vaccines, cultures, etc., intended for use in diagnosing, immunizing,
				or treating humans or animals or in research pertaining thereto.
(10) Blood Products - Means any product
				derived from human blood, including but not limited to blood plasma, platelets,
				red or white blood corpuscles, and other derived licensed products, such as
				interferon, etc.
(11) Board - Means
				Board of Health and Environmental Control.
(12) Body Fluids - Means liquid emanating or
				derived from humans and limited to blood; dialysate; amniotic, cerebrospinal,
				synovial, pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial fluids; and semen and vaginal
				secretions.
(13) Boiler - Means an
				enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having specific
				characteristics including the following:
(a)
				The combustion chamber and primary energy recovery section shall be of integral
				design (for example, waste heat recovery boilers attached to incinerators are
				not boilers). To be of integral design, the combustion chamber and the primary
				energy recovery sections (such as water walls and super heaters) shall be
				physically formed into one (1) manufactured or assembled unit. A unit in which
				the combustion chamber and the primary energy recovery sections are joined only
				by ducts or connections carrying flue gas is not integrally designed; however,
				secondary energy recovery equipment (such as economizers or air preheaters)
				need not physically be formed into the same unit as the combustion chamber and
				the primary energy recovery section. The following units are not precluded from
				boilers solely because they are not of integral design: process heaters (units
				that transfer energy directly to a process stream) and fluidized bed combustion
				units; and
(b) At least
				seventy-five (75) percent of recovered energy shall be "exported," for example,
				not used for internal uses like preheating of combustion air or fuel, or
				driving combustion air fans or feedwater pumps.
