Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) To
					 demonstrate initial compliance with the provisions of §
											115.552(a)(1)(A)
					 of this title (relating to Control Requirements), the owner or operator of an
					 affected facility shall perform an initial test to verify that the flow rate of
					 recovered solvent from the recovery dryer is no greater than 1.7 fluid ounces
					 per minute (50 milliliters per minute) at the termination of the recovery
					 cycle. The test shall be conducted for the duration of one week during which no
					 less than 50% of the dryer loads shall be monitored for their final recovered
					 solvent flow rate. The location point for measuring the flow rate of recovered
					 solvent shall be the outlet of the solvent-water separator. Near the end of the
					 recovery cycle the entire flow of recovered solvent shall be diverted to a
					 graduated cylinder. As the recovered solvent collects in the graduated cylinder
					 the elapsed time is monitored and recorded in periods of greater than or equal
					 to one minute. At the same time, the volume of solvent in the graduated
					 cylinder is monitored and recorded to determine the volume of recovered solvent
					 that is collected during each time period. The recovered solvent flow rate is
					 calculated by dividing the volume of solvent collected per period by the length
					 of time elapsed during the period and converting the results with appropriate
					 factors into units of ounces or milliliters per minute. The recovery cycle and
					 the monitoring procedure should continue until the flow rate of solvent is less
					 than or equal to 1.7 fluid ounces per minute (50 milliliters per
					 minute).
(b) To demonstrate initial
					 compliance with the provisions of §
											115.552(a)(1)(C)
					 of this title (relating to Control Requirements), the owner or operator of an
					 affected facility shall apply the following test methods, as appropriate:
(1) Test Methods 1-4 (40 Code of Federal
					 Regulations (CFR) 60, Appendix A) for determining flow rate, as
					 necessary;
(2) Test Method 18
					 (40 CFR
					 60, Appendix A) for determining gaseous
					 organic compound emissions by gas chromatography;
(3) Test Method 25 (40 CFR
					 60, Appendix A) for determining total gaseous
					 non-methane organic emissions as carbon;
(4) Test Methods 25A (40 CFR
					 60, Appendix A) for determining total gaseous
					 organic concentrations using flame ionization or nondispersive infrared
					 analysis; or
(5) one of the above
					 test methods with minor modifications as approved by the executive
					 director.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Applicability.
					 Any site with a cooling tower heat exchange system in the Houston/
					 Galveston/Brazoria area, as defined in §
											115.10 of
					 this title (relating to Definitions), that emits or has the potential to emit a
					 highly-reactive volatile organic compound, as defined in §
											115.10 of
					 this title, is subject to the requirements of this division (relating to
					 Cooling Tower Heat Exchange Systems) in addition to the applicable requirements
					 of any other division in this subchapter or any other subchapter in this
					 chapter.
(b) Definitions. The
					 following terms, when used in this division, have the following meanings,
					 unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Additional definitions for
					 terms used in this division are found in §§
											3.2,
					 101.1, and
					 115.10 of
					 this title (relating to Definitions).
(1)
					 Cooling tower heat exchange system--Cooling towers, associated heat exchangers,
					 pumps, and ancillary equipment where water is used as a cooling medium and the
					 heat from process fluids is transferred to cooling water. This does not include
					 fin-fan coolers. This also does not include comfort cooling tower heat exchange
					 systems (i.e., those used exclusively in cooling, heating, ventilation, and air
					 conditioning systems).
(2) Jacketed
					 reactor--A heat exchange system where water is used as a cooling medium around
					 a heavy walled reactor rather than a conventional heat exchanger tube design.
					 For the purposes of this definition, a reactor is a device or vessel in which
					 one or more chemicals or reactants, other than air, are combined or decomposed
					 in such a way that the molecular structure of one or more chemicals are altered
					 and one or more new organic compounds are formed.
(3) Finite volume system--A system in which a
					 fixed amount of highly-reactive volatile organic compounds is contained or
					 circulated, and changes in the amount of highly-reactive volatile organic
					 compound in the system can only occur through transfers into the system to
					 maintain the system level, transfers out of the system for maintenance
					 purposes, or leakage out of the system (e.g., a propylene refrigeration
					 system).
