        Subpart D_Louisiana Raw Cane Sugar Processing Subcategory

 

Sec.  409.42  Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree of 

effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable 

control technology currently available.



    Except as provided in Sec. Sec.  125.30 through 125.32, any existing 

point source subject to this subpart shall achieve the following 

effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction 

attainable by the application of the best practicable control technology 

currently available (BPT):

    (a) Any cane sugar factory continuously discharging both barometric 

condenser cooling water and other process waste waters shall meet the 

following limitations. The BOD5 limitation is determined by the addition 

of the net BOD5 attributable to the barometric condenser cooling water 

to that amount of BOD5 attributable to the treated process waste water. 

The TSS limitation is that amount of TSS attributable to the treated 

process waste

water, excluding barometric condenser cooling water.

    (b) Any cane sugar factory employing waste stabilization where all

limitation is determined by the addition of the net BOD5 attributable to 

the barometric condenser cooling water to that amount of BOD5 

attributable to the treated process waste water. The TSS limitation is 

that amount of TSS attributable to the treated process waste water, 

excluding barometric condenser cooling water.
