Boiler mact - what the new emissions limits on industrial boilers mean for you
Generically known as “Boiler MACT”, the new possible industrial boiler limits directly address emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from industrial boilers and indirectly address the way that industrial sources operate their boilers. This white paper explains how Boiler MACT affects you and how to maintain operating flexibility while addressing compliance issues. The most ...

The Five CISWI Considerations
With so much talk of boilers and heaters since the 4 Rules were published in early 2013, most facilities are focused on developing an understanding and strategy to comply with the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for Boilers (commonly referred to as Boiler MACT). However, one of the 4 Rules is the Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) rule, and ...

Tuning Your Boiler for EPA Boiler MACT Compliance
The EPA’s Boiler MACT regulations are heating up. Boiler MACT is an EPA rule to limit hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from commercial and industrial boilers and process heaters. Originally proposed in 2011 as a mandate driven by the Clean Air Act, the rules are Area Source Boiler MACT 40 CFR 63, subpart JJJJJJ for smaller boilers (stores, hotels, apartments, small manufacturers, etc.) and ...

2016 ALL4 Look Ahead
As we do each year, ALL4 looks ahead to the upcoming new year and evaluates the air quality regulatory topics that may matter most to the regulated community. For 2016, it certainly will be the year of Boiler MACT, as facilities gear up to prepare plans and conduct performance testing. We see a continuing trend of electronic reporting and public access to such data. Finally, Federal enforcement ...

What is Boiler MACT & CISWI MACT? - Case study
Boiler MACT regulates production of carbon monoxide (CO). If CO is managed by combustion conditions, NOx production increases. The best strategy for Boiler MACT compliance is to control CO in the boiler and allow the UltraCat Catalytic Filter System to remove NOx in the flue gas. CISWI MACT regulates air pollutants from commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units, for: ...

How to Get the Most Out of Your Boiler MACT Energy Assessment
Congratulations! You’ve made it through the first year of planning for compliance with the Major and Area Source Boiler MACT rules. That means there are two years left for major sources to come into compliance by January 31, 2016 (or January 31, 2017 for those who requested and received a one-year extension), and just shy of two months left for area sources to come into compliance by ...

New boiler MACT and affiliated rules proposed
EPA proposed three related rules (with final rules expected by December 16, 2010), intended to reduce the emission of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters as well as commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators. Simultaneously, it also proposed a definition of solid waste that could potentially affect some units currently ...

The Hammer Falls Again as U.S. EPA Proposes Revisions to `MACT Hammer` Regulations
Until now, States have been left to interpret the applicability of section 112(j) with little input from U.S. EPA. Some States have adopted a “wait and see” approach and are waiting for U.S. EPA to weigh in on the issue. In the absence of any guidance, some States, such as Pennsylvania, have called for some sources to submit applications that meet the 112(j) requirements. The ...

Cement Manufacturing - Balancing Growth with Air Quality Requirements
In most areas of the U.S., it appears that the recession is a bad memory and the signs of recovery are all around us. As described by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) on its website[1], “following the strongest cement consumption gains in seven (7) years in 2012, cement consumption growth will continue in 2013 with a 6.2% increase.” PCA continues to explain that “the ...

New solid waste definition proposed
When the Boiler MACT rule was vacated in 2007, one key element in the court challenge was that many non-fossil fuel materials burned in industrial boilers should be classified as solid wastes and regulated accordingly. Along with the recently proposed Boiler MACT and rules for commercial/industrial/solid waste incinerators (CISWI), EPA proposed criteria to determine whether non-hazardous ...
