Texas Administrative Code › Title 30 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part 1 - TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 112 - CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION FROM SULFUR COMPOUNDS › Subchapter B - CONTROL OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE › Section 112.33 - Calculation Methods

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Applicability.
				  Determination of the net ground level concentration shall be performed in
				  accordance with the procedures outlined in this section for hydrogen sulfide
				  and §
										112.32
				  of this title (relating to Allowable Emissions--Other Property) for sulfuric
				  acid.
(b) Determination of
				  compliance with emission limits. In most cases downwind samples will suffice;
				  however, if the sampled properties are suspected of being influenced by an
				  upwind source of H 2 S, then both upwind and downwind
				  samples will be taken. The concentration of H2 S in the
				  "downwind sample" less the concentration in the "upwind sample" shall be used
				  in determining whether the emissions from the property comply with the
				  requirements of §
										112.31
				  of this title (relating to Allowable Emissions--Residential, Business, or
				  Commercial Property) and §
										112.32
				  of this title (relating to Allowable Emissions--Other Property). Calculated
				  maximum allowable emission rates or ground level concentrations which are
				  obtained by the method in subsection (b) of this section may be used in
				  determining whether a property is in compliance with the emission limits
				  specified.
(c) Calculations of
				  H2 S concentrations from stack samples and measurements.
				  The maximum allowable H 2 S emission rate which may be
				  made from a stack on a property to comply with the emission limit set forth in
				  §
										112.31
				  of this title (relating to Allowable Emissions--Residential, Business, or
				  Commercial Property) and §
										112.32
				  of this title (relating to Allowable Emissions--Other Property) may be
				  calculated by Sutton's equation which has been modified to consider the
				  critical wind speed and to correspond to a 30-minute air sample. Additional
				  credit on stack emissions can be obtained if the distance from the stack to the
				  property line is greater than 30 stack heights. Those properties with greater
				  than 30 stack heights to the property line should contact the executive
				  director to obtain the proper correction factor.
(1) For exit stack gas for temperatures of
				  less than 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The following calculations shall be used for
				  exit stack gas for temperatures of less than 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
(A) The H2 S ambient
				  air level is 0.08 ppm for 30 minutes.

Sections
					 112.31-112.34

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) No person may
				  cause, suffer, allow, or permit emissions of sulfuric acid from a source or
				  sources operated on a property or multiple sources operated on contiguous
				  properties to exceed:
(1) a net ground level
				  concentration of 15 ug per cubic meter of air averaged over any 24-hour
				  period;
(2) a net ground level

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Application.
				  Determination of the net ground level concentration shall be performed in
				  accordance with the procedures outlined in §
										112.33 of
				  this title (relating to Calculation Methods) for hydrogen sulfide and this
				  section for sulfuric acid (H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub]).
(b) Determination of compliance with emission
				  limits. In most cases downwind samples will suffice; however, if the sampled
				  properties are suspected of being influenced by an upwind source of
				  H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub], then both upwind and downwind samples will be
				  taken. The concentration of H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub] in the downwind sample
				  less the concentration in the upwind sample shall be used in determining
				  whether the emissions from the property comply with the requirements of §
										112.41 of
				  this title (relating to Allowable Emissions). Calculated maximum allowable
				  emission rates or ground level concentrations which are obtained by the method
				  in subsection (c) of this section may be used in determining whether a property
				  is in compliance with the emission limits specified.
(c) Calculations of
				  H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub] concentrations from stack samples and measurements.
				  The maximum allowable H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub] emission rate which may be
				  made from a stack on property to comply with the emission limit set forth in
				  §
										112.41 of
				  this title (relating to Allowable Emissions) may be calculated by Sutton's
				  equation which has been modified to consider the critical wind speed and to
				  correspond to a one-hour sample. Additional credit on stack emissions can be
				  obtained if the distance from the stack to the property line is greater than 30
				  stack heights. Those properties with greater than 30 stack heights to the
				  property line should contact the executive director to obtain the proper
				  correction factor.
(1) For exit stack gas for
				  temperatures of less than 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The following calculations
				  shall be used for exit stack gas for temperatures of less than 125 degrees
				  Fahrenheit.
(A) The
				  H[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4[/sub] ambient air level of 80 ug/M[sup]3[/sup] for one
