Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 724.445 - Operating Requirements
a) An
incinerator must be operated in accordance with operating requirements
specified in the permit. These will be specified on a case-by-case basis as
those demonstrated (in a trial burn or in alternative data as specified in
Section
724.444(b)
and included with Part B of the facility's permit application) to be sufficient
to comply with the performance standards of Section
724.443.
b) Each set of operating requirements will
specify the composition of the waste feed (including acceptable variations in
the physical or chemical properties of the waste feed that will not affect
compliance with the performance requirement of Section 724.443) to which the
operating requirements apply. For each such waste feed, the permit will specify
acceptable operating limits, including the following conditions:
1) Carbon monoxide (CO) level in the stack
exhaust gas;
2) Waste feed
rate;
3) Combustion
temperature;
4) An appropriate
indicator of combustion gas velocity;
5) Allowable variations in incinerator system
design or operating procedures; and
6) Such other operating requirements as are
necessary to ensure that the performance standards of Section
724.443 are
met.
c) During start-up
and shut-down of an incinerator, hazardous waste (except wastes exempted in
accordance with Section
724.440 ) must not
be fed into the incinerator unless the incinerator is operating within the
conditions of operation (temperature, air feed rate, etc.) specified in the
permit.
d) Fugitive emissions from
the combustion zone must be controlled by the following:
1) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed
against fugitive emissions;
2)
Maintaining a combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure;
or
3) An alternative means of
control demonstrated (with Part B of the permit application) to provide
fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone
pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
e) An incinerator must be operated with a
functioning system to automatically cut off waste feed to the incinerator when
operating conditions deviate from limits established under subsection
(a).
f) An incinerator must cease
operation when changes in waste feed, incinerator design, or operating
conditions exceed limits designated in its permit.
