(A) (1) No person shall cause, suffer or allow to be emitted into the outdoor atmosphere from any fuel burning equipment or premises or to pass a convenient measuring point near the stack outlet particulate matter in the gases to exceed 0.60 pounds per 1,000,000 British thermal units heat input for installations using less than 10,000,000 British thermal units per hour total input.
(2) For a single unit using greater than 10,000,000 British thermal units per hour total input, the allowable particulate emission limitation shall be determined from the following table.
Heat Input in Millions of British Thermal Units per Hour
|
Maximum Allowable Emission of Particulate Matter in Pounds per Million British Thermal Units per Hour, Heat Input |
Heat Input in Millions of British Thermal Units per Hour
|
Maximum Allowable Emission of Particulate Matter in Pounds per Million British Thermal Units per Hour, Heat Input |
10 or less | 0.60 |
50 | 0.46 |
100 | 0.41 |
500 | 0.32 |
1,000 | 0.29 |
2,500 | 0.25 |
5,000 | 0.225 |
7,500 | 0.210 |
10,000 or more | 0.20 |
(B) For heat inputs between any 2 consecutive heat inputs in the table, the maximum allowable particulate matter emission shall be determined by graphical interpolation, using logarithmic graph paper.
(C) The burning of refuse in fuel burning equipment is prohibited, except in equipment from which no visible emission in excess of that permitted by § 90.022, no air pollutants in excess of that permitted by this section are emitted and no odorous materials arising from the installation are observable beyond the premises on which the installation is located.
