The provisions of this section shall be applicable to all existing stationary sources located within a region classified Priority 1 for carbon monoxide by Regulation EP-11-06, of any subsequent revision, of the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and to all new stationary sources regardless of location.
(a) All new stationary carbon monoxide emission sources shall minimize carbon monoxide emissions by use of the best available control techniques and operating practices in accordance with best current technology.
(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude the use of alternative means to abate emissions, if such alternative is approved by the Commissioner and will not result in emissions significantly greater than would result from the application of the means specified herein.
(c) No person shall emit the carbon monoxide gases generated during the operation of a grey iron cupola, blast furnace or basic oxygen steel furnace unless they are burned at one thousand three hundred degrees Fahrenheit (1,300°F) for three-tenths (0.3) seconds or greater in a direct-flame afterburner, equipped with an indicating pyrometer which is positioned in the working area at the operator’s eye level or such other equivalent device to burn up the carbon monoxide that may be approved for use by the Commissioner.
(d) No person shall emit carbon monoxide waste gas stream from any catalyst regeneration of a petroleum cracking system, petroleum fluid coker or other petroleum process into the atmosphere, unless the waste gas stream is burned at one thousand three hundred degrees Fahrenheit (1,300°F) for three-tenths (0.3) seconds or greater in a direct-flame afterburner or boiler, equipped with an indicating pyrometer which is positioned in the working area at the operator’s eye level or such other equivalent device to burn up the carbon monoxide that may be approved for use by the Commissioner.
