					 recycling; or purchasing recycled or recyclable products. A waste management
					 plan may include different goals or approaches for different areas or
					 departments of the facility and need not include new waste management goals for
					 every waste stream. It should identify, where possible, reasonably available
					 additional waste management measures, taking into account the effectiveness of
					 waste management measures already in place, the costs of additional measures,
					 the emission reductions expected to be achieved, and any other environmental or
					 energy impacts they might have. The American Hospital Association publication

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
The review of all incinerators shall include verification
					 of the residence time stated on the application. This guidance shall be
					 followed to assure that these calculations are handled in a uniform
					 manner.
STEP 1. Estimate the total heat input to the system:
Total system heat input (BTU/hr) = [Maximum waste firing
					 rate (lbs/hr) x Maximum heating value (BTU/lb)] +" Average primary burner heat
					 input +" Average secondary burner input.
NOTE: Use the average burner inputs required after the
					 onset of waste burning.
Use a waste heating value of 8,500 BTU/lb.
STEP 2. Estimate the system heat loss (prior to heat
					 recovery):
System heat loss = Shell loss +" sensible heat in ash +"
					 sensible heat in unburned carbon +" latent heat.
The heat loss may be assumed to be 20% of total heat
					 input.
STEP 3. Calculate the net heat available (Q) to raise the
					 temperature of the products of combustion:
Q (BTU/hr) = (Total system heat input) - (system heat
					 loss).
STEP 4. Calculate the weight of product of combustion
					 (M)
M = Q/ {Cp x
					 (To - Ti)}
Cp = average specific heat (BTU/lb
					 F), assume a value of 0.28
To = exit temperature (°F), use the
					 design temperature of 2000° F as To.
Ti = ambient air temperature (°F),
					 assume the ambient temperature to be 70° F.
STEP 5. Calculate the volume of product of combustion
					 (F):
F (scfs) = M / d x 60 x 60
d (lb/cu. ft.) = density of exhaust gases at 70° F, use a
					 value of 0.075.
Fl (acfs) = F x (To + 460) / 530
Fl design temperature = F x 2460 / 530
STEP 6. Calculate the volume of secondary chamber.
STEP 7. Residence time = chamber volume / Fl
For a minimum 1 sec secondary chamber residence time and
					 design temperature 2000° F.
secondary chamber volume m = > 1 / Fl

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
I. GENERAL
				APPLICABILITY.
This Standard is applicable to sources of toxic air
				  pollutants as provided below. This Standard does not apply to fuel burning
				  sources which burn only virgin fuel or specification used oil. The terms in
				  this Standard are used as defined in South Carolina Air Pollution Control
				  Regulations and Standards Regulation 62.1, Section I, "Definitions". The
				  effective date of this Standard is June 28, 1991.
A. EXISTING SOURCES:
(1) Any person with an existing source of any
				toxic air pollutant shall be required to show compliance with this standard not
				later than two years after the effective date of this standard. These sources
				must provide the Department with the name and Chemical Abstract Service(CAS)
				number of the chemical, stack parameters, and emission rate data. If potential
				emissions of any single toxic air pollutant are 1000 lbs/month or greater an
				operating permit will be required. An operating permit may or may not be
				required for sources with emissions less than 1000 lbs/month. This
				determination will take into consideration, but not be limited to, the nature
				and amount of the pollutants, location, proximity to commercial establishments
				and residences.
(2) Any person
				holding an operating permit prior to the effective date of this standard shall
				be required to demonstrate compliance with this standard for all toxic air
				pollutant emissions prior to renewal of the operating permit. The compliance
				demonstration must include all sources of toxic air pollutants at the facility,
				including sources not previously subject to permit requirements. Methods for
				compliance demonstration may be found in the Air Quality Modeling Guidelines as
				prepared pursuant to paragraph II(A) of this regulation.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
(A) No person shall
				cause or permit any fugitive particulate matter to go beyond property
				boundaries below a height of 150 feet. Necessary precautions shall be taken to
				prevent such occurrences and be in accordance with good dust control practices
				as determined by the Department taking into consideration economic
				reasonableness, the seriousness of the dust conditions, and anticipated
				benefits, and may include but not be limited to the following:
1. Use, where possible, of water or chemicals
				for control of dust in demolition or construction operations, the grading of
				roads, or the clearing of land;
2.
				Application of asphalt (cut back asphalt is prohibited), water, or suitable
				chemicals on dirt roads, material stockpiles, and other surfaces which can give
				rise to airborne dust;
3.
				Installation and use of hoods, scrubbers, fabric filters or other dust cleaning
				devices where feasible and effective to capture and contain fugitive
				particulate matter while handling dusty materials. Adequate containment methods
				shall be employed during sandblasting or other similar operations;
4. The paving of roadways and the prompt
				removal of earth or other materials from paved streets that have been deposited
				by vehicular traffic, earth moving equipment, water erosion or other
				means;
5. Stabilization of long
				term storage piles by vegetation or appropriate chemicals and reclamation of
				mined areas;
6. Modifying the
				process or materials handling system;
7. Use of a slurry to move material if
				feasible;
8. Use of traveling
				booms, telescopic chutes, rotary stackers, adequate shrouding of openings in
				containers to be filled;
9. Avoid
				use of front end loader in handling dry dusty materials unless there is no
				other reasonable option;
10. Impose
				strict slow speed limits for vehicular traffic on plant property or
				construction/destruction sites;
11.
				Ensure proper loading of trucks, trailers, front end loaders, etc., to prevent
				spillage on paved roadways.
