Sec.  63.1513  Equations for determining compliance.



    (a) THC emission limit. Use Equation 6 to determine compliance with 

an emission limit for THC:

Where,



E = Emission rate of measured pollutant, kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed;

C = Measured volume fraction of pollutant, ppmv;

MW = Molecular weight of measured pollutant, g/g-mole (lb/lb-mole): THC 

(as propane) = 44.11;

Q = Volumetric flow rate of exhaust gases, dscm/hr (dscf/hr);

K1 = Conversion factor, 1 kg/1,000 g (1 lb/lb);

K2 = Conversion factor, 1,000 L/m\3\ (1 ft\3\/ft\3\);

Mv = Molar volume, 24.45 L/g-mole (385.3 ft\3\/lb-mole); and

P = Production rate, Mg/hr (ton/hr).

    (b) PM, HCl and D/F emission limits. (1) Use Equation 7 of this 

section to determine compliance with an emission limit for PM or HCl:

Where:



E = Emission rate of PM or HCl, kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed;

C = Concentration of PM or HCl, g/dscm (gr/dscf);

Q = Volumetric flow rate of exhaust gases, dscm/hr (dscf/hr);

K1 = Conversion factor, 1 kg/1,000 g (1 lb/7,000 gr); and

P = Production rate, Mg/hr (ton/hr).



    (2) Use Equation 7A of this section to determine compliance with an 

emission limit for D/F:

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03SE04.019



Where:



E = Emission rate of D/F, [micro]g/Mg (gr/ton) of feed;

C = Concentration of D/F, [micro]g/dscm (gr/dscf);

Q = Volumetric flow rate of exhaust gases, dscm/hr (dscf/hr); and

P = Production rate, Mg/hr (ton/hr).



    (c) HCl percent reduction standard. Use Equation 8 to determine 

compliance with an HCl percent reduction standard:

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.006



Where,



%R = Percent reduction of the control device;

Li = Inlet loading of pollutant, kg/Mg (lb/ton); and

Lo = Outlet loading of pollutant, kg/Mg (lb/ton).



    (d) Conversion of D/F measurements to TEQ units. To convert D/F 

measurements to TEQ units, the owner or operator must use the procedures 

and equations in ``Interim Procedures for Estimating Risks Associated 

with Exposures to Mixtures of Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and -

Dibenzofurans (CDDs and CDFs) and 1989 Update'' (EPA-625/3-89-016), 

incorporated by reference in Sec.  63.1502 of this subpart, available 

from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal 

Road, Springfield, Virginia, NTIS no. PB 90-145756.

    (e) Secondary aluminum processing unit. Use the procedures in 

paragraphs (e)(1), (2), and (3) or the procedure in paragraph (e)(4) of 

this section to determine compliance with emission limits for a 

secondary aluminum processing unit.

    (1) Use Equation 9 to compute the mass-weighted PM emissions for a 

secondary aluminum processing unit. Compliance is achieved if the mass-

weighted emissions for the secondary aluminum processing unit 

(EcPM) is less than or equal to the emission limit for the 

secondary aluminum processing unit (LcPM) calculated using 

Equation 1 in Sec.  63.1505(k).

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.007



Where,



EcPM = The mass-weighted PM emissions for the secondary 

aluminum processing unit;

EtiPM = Measured PM emissions for individual emission unit i;

Tti = The average feed rate for individual emission unit i 

during the operating cycle or performance test period; and

n=The number of emission units in the secondary aluminum processing 

unit.



    (2) Use Equation 10 to compute the aluminum mass-weighted HCl 

emissions for the secondary aluminum processing unit. Compliance is 

achieved if the mass-weighted emissions for the secondary aluminum 

processing unit (EcHCl) is less than or equal to the emission 

limit for the secondary aluminum processing unit (LcHCl) 

calculated using Equation 2 in Sec.  63.1505(k).

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.008



Where,



EcHCl = The mass-weighted HCl emissions for the secondary 

aluminum processing unit; and

EtiHCl = Measured HCl emissions for individual emission unit 

i.

    (3) Use Equation 11 to compute the aluminum mass-weighted D/F 

emissions for the secondary aluminum processing unit. Compliance is 

achieved if the mass-weighted emissions for the secondary aluminum 

processing unit is less than or equal to the emission limit for the 

secondary aluminum processing unit (LcD/F) calculated using 

Equation 3 in Sec.  63.1505(k).

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23MR00.009



Where,



EcD/F = The mass-weighted D/F emissions for the secondary 

aluminum processing unit; and

EtiD/F = Measured D/F emissions for individual emission unit 

i.



    (4) As an alternative to using the equations in paragraphs (e)(1), 

(2), and (3) of this section, the owner or operator may demonstrate 

compliance for a secondary aluminum processing unit by demonstrating 

that each existing group 1 furnace is in compliance with the emission 

limits for a new group 1 furnace in Sec.  63.1505(i) and that each 

existing in-line fluxer is in compliance with the emission limits for a 

new in-line fluxer in Sec.  63.1505(j).
