SUBCHAPTER  37.  CONTROL OF EMISSIONS OF ORGANIC MATERIALS
PART  7.  CONTROL OF SPECIFIC PROCESSES

Outline:
252:100-37-35.  Waste gas disposal
252:100-37-36.  Fuel-burning and refuse-burning equipment


252:100-37-35.  Waste gas disposal

(As approved by EPA 11/03/1999 (64 FR 59629) at 52.1920(c)(48) effective 01/03/2000.)

     (a)  Ethylene manufacturing emissions.  No person shall build or install or permit the building or installation of any ethylene manufacturing plant unless the waste-gas stream under normal operating conditions is properly burned at 1,300°F.  for 0.3 seconds or greater in a direct-flame afterburner equipped with an indicating pyrometer which is positioned in the working area for the operator's ready monitoring or an equally effective catalytic vapor incinerator also with pyrometer.  Proper burning of the waste-gas stream is defined as reduction by 98 percent of the ethylene emissions originally present in the waste-gas stream.

     (b)  Vapor blowdown.  Except where inconsistent with the "Minimum Federal Safety Standards for the Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline," or any State of Oklahoma regulatory agency, no person shall emit organic gases to the atmosphere from a vapor recovery blowdown system unless these gases are burned by smokeless flares, or an equally effective control device as approved by the  Executive Director.

252:100-37-36.  Fuel-burning and refuse-burning equipment

(As approved by EPA 11/03/1999 (64 FR 59629) at 52.1920(c)(48) effective 01/03/2000.)

     No person shall cause or allow the emission of hydrocarbons or other organic materials from any fuel-burning or refuse-burning equipment.  All such equipment shall be operated as to minimize such emissions.  Among other things, such operation shall assure that the equipment is not overloaded, that it is properly cleaned and maintained, and that temperature and available air are sufficient to provide essentially complete combustion.
