Sec. 424.10  Applicability; description of the open electric furnaces with wet air pollution control devices subcategory.


    The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges 
resulting from the smelting of ferroalloys in open electric furnaces 
with wet air pollution control devices. This subcategory includes those 
electric furnaces of such construction or configuration that the furnace 
off-gases are burned above the furnace charge level by air drawn into 
the system. After combustion the gases are cleaned in a wet air 
pollution control device, such as a scrubber, an electrostatic 
precipitator with water or other aqueous sprays, etc. The provisions of 
this subpart are not applicable to noncontact cooling water or to those 
electric furnaces which are covered, closed, sealed, or semi-covered and 
in which the furnace off-gases are not burned prior to collection 
(regulated in subpart B of this part).
