Sec. 63.7187  What performance tests and other compliance procedures 

must I use?



    (a) You must conduct each performance test in Table 1 to this 

subpart that applies to you as specified for process vents in Sec. 

63.982(a)(2) and storage tanks in Sec. 63.982(a)(1). Performance tests 

must be conducted under maximum operating conditions or HAP emissions 

potential. Section 63.982(a)(1) and (2) only includes methods to measure 

the total organic regulated material or total organic carbon (TOC) 

concentration. The EPA Methods 26 and 26A are included in Table 1 to 

this subpart in addition to the test methods contained within Sec. 

63.982(a)(1) and (2). The EPA Method 26 or 26A must be used for testing 

regulated material containing inorganic HAP. Method 320 of 40 CFR part 

63, appendix A, must be

used to measure total vapor phase organic and inorganic HAP 

concentrations.

    (b) If, without the use of a control device, your process vent 

stream has an organic HAP concentration of 20 ppmv or less or an 

inorganic HAP concentration of 0.42 ppmv or less, or your storage tank 

vent stream has an inorganic HAP concentration of 0.42 ppmv or less, you 

may demonstrate that the vent stream is compliant by engineering 

assessments and calculations or by conducting the applicable performance 

test requirements specified in Table 1 to this subpart. Your engineering 

assessments and calculations, as with performance tests (as specified in 

Sec. 63.982(a)(1) and (2)), must represent your maximum operating 

conditions or HAP emissions potential and must be approved by the 

Administrator. You must demonstrate continuous compliance by certifying 

that your operations will not exceed the maximum operating conditions or 

HAP emissions potential represented by your engineering assessments, 

calculations, or performance test.

    (c) If you are using a control device to comply with the emission 

limitations in Sec. 63.7184 and the inlet concentration of HAP to the 

control device is 20 ppmv or less, then you may demonstrate that the 

control device meets the percent by weight HAP emission reduction 

limitation in Sec. 63.7184(c)(1) or (d)(1) by conducting a design 

evaluation as specified in paragraph (i) of this section. Your design 

evaluation must represent your maximum operating conditions or HAP 

emissions potential and must be approved by the Administrator. You must 

demonstrate continuous compliance by certifying that your operations 

will not exceed the maximum operating conditions or HAP emissions 

potential represented by your design evaluation.

    (d) During periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, you must 

operate in accordance with your SSMP.

    (e) For each monitoring system required in this section, you must 

develop and submit for approval a site-specific monitoring plan that 

addresses the criteria specified in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of 

this section.

    (1) Installation of the continuous monitoring system (CMS) sampling 

probe or other interface at a measurement location relative to each 

affected process unit such that the measurement is representative of 

control of the exhaust emissions (e.g., on or downstream of the last 

control device);

    (2) Performance and equipment specifications for the sample 

interface, the pollutant concentration or parametric signal analyzer, 

and the data collection and reduction system; and

    (3) Performance evaluation procedures and acceptance criteria (e.g., 

calibrations).

    (f) In your site-specific monitoring plan, you must also address the 

procedural processes in paragraphs (f)(1) through (3) of this section.

    (1) Ongoing operation and maintenance procedures in accordance with 

the general requirements of Sec. 63.8(c)(1), (3), (4)(ii), (7), and 

(8);

    (2) Ongoing data quality assurance procedures in accordance with the 

general requirements of Sec. 63.8(d); and

    (3) Ongoing recordkeeping and reporting procedures in accordance 

with the general requirements of Sec. 63.10(c), (e)(1), and (e)(2)(i).

    (g) You must conduct a performance evaluation of each CMS in 

accordance with your site-specific monitoring plan.

    (h) You must operate and maintain the CMS in continuous operation 

according to the site-specific monitoring plan.

    (i) Design evaluation. To demonstrate that a control device meets 

the required percent by weight inorganic HAP emission reduction 

limitation in Sec. 63.7184(c)(1) or (d)(1), a design evaluation must 

address the composition of the inorganic HAP concentration of the vent 

stream entering the control device. A design evaluation also must 

address other vent stream characteristics and control device operating 

parameters as specified in any one of paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of 

this section, depending on the type of control device that is used. If 

the vent stream is not the only inlet to the control device, the 

efficiency demonstration must also consider all other vapors, gases, and 

liquids, other than fuels, received by the control device.

    (1) For a condenser, the design evaluation shall consider the vent 

stream flow rate, relative humidity, and temperature and shall establish 

the design outlet organic HAP compound concentration level, design 

average temperature of the condenser exhaust vent stream, and the design 

average temperatures of the coolant fluid at the condenser inlet and 

outlet. The temperature of the gas stream exiting the condenser must be 

measured and used to establish the outlet organic HAP concentration.

    (2) For a carbon adsorption system that regenerates the carbon bed 

directly onsite in the control device such as a fixed-bed adsorber, the 

design evaluation shall consider the vent stream flow rate, relative 

humidity, and temperature and shall establish the design exhaust vent 

stream organic compound concentration level, adsorption cycle time, 

number and capacity of carbon beds, type and working capacity of 

activated carbon used for carbon beds, design total regeneration stream 

mass or volumetric flow over the period of each complete carbon bed 

regeneration cycle, design carbon bed temperature after regeneration, 

design carbon bed regeneration time, and design service life of carbon. 

For vacuum desorption, the pressure drop shall be included.

    (3) For a carbon adsorption system that does not regenerate the 

carbon bed directly onsite in the control device such as a carbon 

canister, the design evaluation shall consider the vent stream mass or 

volumetric flow rate, relative humidity, and temperature and shall 

establish the design exhaust vent stream organic compound concentration 

level, capacity of carbon bed, type and working capacity of activated 

carbon used for carbon bed, and design carbon replacement interval based 

on the total carbon working capacity of the control device and source 

operating schedule.

    (4) For a scrubber, the design evaluation shall consider the vent 

stream composition, constituent concentrations, liquid-to-vapor ratio, 

scrubbing liquid flow rate and concentration, temperature, and the 

reaction kinetics of the constituents with the scrubbing liquid. The 

design evaluation shall establish the design exhaust vent stream organic 

compound concentration level and will include the additional information 

in paragraphs (i)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section for trays and a packed 

column scrubber.

    (i) Type and total number of theoretical and actual trays;

    (ii) Type and total surface area of packing for entire column, and 

for individual packed sections if column contains more than one packed 

section.
