West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 45 - Air Quality › Title 45 - LEGISLATIVE RULE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AIR QUALITY › Series 45-18 - Control of Air Pollution from Combustion of Solid Waste › Section 45-18-2 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
2.1.
				"Administrator" means the Administrator of the United States Environmental
				Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) or his or her designated representative.
2.2. "Air curtain incinerator" or "ACI" for
				the purpose of section 9 means an incinerator that operates by forcefully
				projecting a curtain of air across an open chamber or pit in which combustion
				occurs. Incinerators of this type can be constructed above or below ground and
				with or without refractory walls and floor. Air curtain incinerators are not to
				be confused with conventional combustion devices with enclosed fireboxes and
				controlled air technology such as mass burn, modular, and fluidized bed
				combustors.
2.3. "Bag leak
				detection system" for the purpose of section 9 means an instrument that is
				capable of monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric
				filter (i.e., baghouse) in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak detection
				system includes, but is not limited to, an instrument that operates on
				triboelectric, light scattering, light transmittance, or other principle to
				monitor relative particulate matter loadings.
2.4. "Cd" means Cadmium.
2.5. "CEMS" or "continuous emission
				monitoring system" for the purpose of section 9 means the total equipment that
				may be required to meet the data acquisition and availability requirements used
				to sample, condition (if applicable), analyze, and provide a record of
				emissions.
2.6. "CEMS data during
				startup and shutdown" for the purpose of section 9 means the following:
2.6.a. For incinerators and small remote
				incinerators: CEMS data collected during the first hours of operation of a
				CISWI startup from a cold start until waste is fed into the unit and the hours
				of operation following the cessation of waste material being fed to the CISWI
				during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length of time that CEMS
				data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup must be 48 operating
				hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length of time that CEMS data may
				be claimed as being CEMS data during shutdown must be 24 operating hours or
				less;
2.6.b. For energy recovery
				units: CEMS data collected during the startup or shutdown periods of operation.
				Startup begins with either the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler or process
				heater for the purpose of supplying useful thermal energy (such as steam or
				heat) for heating, cooling or process purposes, or producing electricity, or
				the firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for any purpose after a
				shutdown event. Startup ends four hours after the boiler or process heater
				makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for heating, cooling, or
				process purposes, or generates electricity, whichever is earlier. Shutdown
				begins when the boiler or process heater no longer makes useful thermal energy
				(such as heat or steam) for heating, cooling, or process purposes and/or
				generates electricity or when no fuel is being fed to the boiler or process
				heater, whichever is earlier. Shutdown ends when the boiler or process heater
				no longer makes useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for heating,
				cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity, and no fuel is being
				combusted in the boiler or process heater; and
2.6.c. For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data
				collected during the periods of kiln operation that do not include normal
				operations. Startup means the time from when a shutdown kiln first begins
				firing fuel until it begins producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown
				kiln turns on the induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner.
				Startup ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln for at
				least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of the kiln design
				limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means the cessation of kiln
				operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln is halted and ends when
				continuous kiln rotation ceases.
