An incinerator burning hazardous waste must be designed,
constructed, and maintained so that, when operated in accordance with operating
requirements specified under Section
724.445,
it will meet the following performance standards:
a) Destruction and Removal Efficiency
1) Except as provided in subsection (a)(2),
an incinerator burning hazardous waste must achieve a destruction and removal
efficiency (DRE) of 99.99 % for each principal organic hazardous constituent
(POHC) designated (under Section
724.442
) in its permit for each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the
following equation:

Where:
|
N
|
=
|
Mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous
constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the incinerator
|
|
O
|
=
|
Mass emission rate of the same POHC present in
exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere
|
2)
An incinerator burning hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027
must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999 % for each
principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under Section
724.442) in its permit. This performance must be demonstrated on POHCs that are
more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta-, and
hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is determined for each POHC
from the equation in subsection (a)(1).
b) An incinerator burning hazardous waste and
producing stack emissions of more than
1.8
kg (4 lbs) per hour of hydrogen chloride (HCl) must control HCl emissions such
that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger of either
1.8
kg (4 lbs) per hour or one percent of the HCl in the stack gas prior to
entering any pollution control equipment.
c) An incinerator burning hazardous waste
must not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard
cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot) when corrected for the
amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the following formula:

Where:

C

the corrected concentration of particulate
matter
|
|
M
|
=
|
the measured concentration of particulate
matter
|
|
Y
|
=
|
the measured concentration of oxygen in the stack
gas, using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in
Reference Method 3 in appendix A to 40 CFR 60 (Gas Analysis for the
Determination of Dry Molecular Weight), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill.
Adm. Code
720.111(b)

2)
This correction procedure is to be used by all hazardous waste incinerators
except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment. For these
facilities, the Agency must select an appropriate correction procedure, to be
specified in the facility permit.
d) For the purposes of permit enforcement,
compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under
Section 724.445) will be regarded as compliance with this Section. However,
evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure
compliance with the performance requirements of this Section may be
"information" justifying modification, revocation or reissuance of a permit
under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
702.184.
