63.8595 - How do I conduct performance tests and establish operating limits
(a) You must conduct each performance test in Table 4 to this subpart that applies to you.
(b) Before conducting the performance test, you must install and calibrate all monitoring equipment.
(c) Each performance test must be conducted according to the requirements in ? 63.7 and under the specific conditions in Table 4 to this subpart.
(d) You must test while operating at the maximum production level.
(e) You may not conduct performance tests during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in ? 63.7(e)(1).
(f) You must conduct at least three separate test runs for each performance test required in this section, as specified in ? 63.7(e)(3). Each test run must last at least 1 hour.
(g) You must use the data gathered during the performance test and the equations in paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this section to determine compliance with the emission limitations.
(1) To determine compliance with the production-based hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and particulate matter (PM) emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart, you must calculate your mass emissions per unit of production for each test run using Equation 1 of this section:
ER16MY03.003
Where:
MP=mass per unit production, kilograms (pounds) of pollutant per megagram (ton) of fired product
ER=mass emission rate of pollutant (HF, HCl, or PM) during each performance test run, kilograms (pounds) per hour
P=production rate during each performance test run, megagrams (tons) of fired product per hour.
(2) To determine compliance with the percent reduction HF and HCl emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart, you must calculate the percent reduction for each test run using Equation 2 of this section:
ER16MY03.004
Where:
PR=percent reduction, percent
ERi=mass emission rate of specific HAP (HF or HCl) entering the APCD, kilograms (pounds) per hour
ERo=mass emission rate of specific HAP (HF or HCl) exiting the APCD, kilograms (pounds) per hour.
(h) You must establish each site-specific operating limit in Table 2 to this subpart that applies to you as specified in Table 4 to this subpart.
(i) For each kiln that is subject to the emission limits specified in Table 1 to this subpart and is equipped with an APCD that is not addressed in Table 2 to this subpart or that is using process changes as a means of meeting the emission limits in Table 1 to this subpart, you must meet the requirements in ? 63.8(f) and paragraphs (i)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Submit a request for approval of alternative monitoring procedures to the Administrator no later than the notification of intent to conduct a performance test. The request must contain the information specified in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) A description of the alternative APCD or process changes.
(ii) The type of monitoring device or procedure that will be used.
(iii) The operating parameters that will be monitored.
(iv) The frequency that the operating parameter values will be determined and recorded to establish continuous compliance with the operating limits.
(2) Establish site-specific operating limits during the performance test based on the information included in the approved alternative monitoring procedures request and, as applicable, as specified in Table 4 to this subpart.
