“Petroleum cracking” means a unit composed of a reactor, regenerator and fractioning tower which is used to convert certain petroleum fractions into more valuable products by passing the material at elevated temperature through a bed of catalyst in the reactor. Coke deposits produced on the catalyst during cracking are removed by burning off in the regenerator.

“Photochemically reactive material” means any liquid organic material with an aggregate of more than twenty percent (20%) of its total volume composed of the chemical compounds classified below or which exceeds any of the following individual percentage composition limitations, referred to the total volume of liquid:
(a) A combination of hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ester, ethers or ketones having a olefinic or cyclo-olefinic type of unsaturation: five percent (5%);
(b) A combination of aromatic hydrocarbons with eight (8) or more carbon atoms to the molecule except ethylbenzene eight percent; (8%);
(c) A combination of ethylbenzene, ketones having branched hydrocarbon structures, trichloroethylene or toluene: twenty percent (20%).
Wherever any organic material or any constituent of an organic material may be classified from its chemical structure into more than one (1) of the above groups of organic compounds, it shall be considered as a member of the most reactive chemical group, that is, that group having the least allowable percent of total volume of liquid.

“Process equipment” means any equipment, device or contrivance for changing any materials whatever or for storing or handling of any materials, and all appurtenances thereto, including ducts and stack, the use of which may cause discharge of an air contaminant into the atmosphere, but not including that equipment specifically defined in this Code as fuel- burning equipment or incinerator.
(Ord. No. 857-A-76. Passed 6-27-77, eff. 6-30-77)
“Process weight” means the total weight of all material introduced into a unit operation or unit process, including solid fuels, but excluding liquid fuels and gaseous fuels when these are used solely as fuels and excluding air introduced for purposes of combustion.
(Ord. No. 857-A-76. Passed 6-27-77, eff. 6-30-77)
“Process weight per hour” means a rate established as follows:
(a) For continuous or long-run steady-state unit operation or unit process, the total process weight for the entire period of continuous operation or for a typical portion thereof, divided by the number of hours of such period or portion thereof.
(b) For cyclical or batch unit operation or batch process, the total process weight for a period that covers a complete operation or an integral number of cycles, divided by the hours of actual process operation during such period.
Where the nature of any process or operation or the design of any equipment is such as to permit more than one (1) interpretation of this definition, the interpretation that results in the minimum value for allowable emission shall apply.
(Ord. No. 857-A-76. Passed 6-27-77, eff. 6-30-77)
“Refuse” means any discarded matter or any matter which is to be reduced in volume or otherwise changed in chemical or physical properties in order to facilitate its discard, removal or disposal including garbage, rubbish, trade wastes, leaves, salvageable material, agricultural wastes, human or animal remains and other wastes.
(Ord. No. 857-A-76. Passed 6-27-77, eff. 6-30-77)
