A Case Study in Implementation of the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Portland Cement Industry at a Major Source
The regulations at 40 CFR 63, Subpart LLL are commonly known as PC MACT because the rule establishes the maximum available control technology for hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from portland cement plants in the United States. There are 188 HAPs specified in Section 112 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Two classifications of HAP emitters are specified in 40 CFR 63. Major sources of HAPs ...

EVALUATION OF STRATEGIES FOR MERCURY MACT COMPLIANCE
On December 15, 2003, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) proposed a rule with two alternatives to permanently reduce mercury (Hg) emissions from power plants. Under one alternative, which is the focus of this paper, the utilities would install controls known as Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (MACT) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed rule ...

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: ...

QUADRANT SR Thermal Oxidizer & the chemical industry - Case study
Chemical processing facilities across the country are facing ever tightening restrictions for volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. These emissions can be generated from such points as process vents, storage tanks, fugitive releases, among others…. To achieve compliance with Clean Air Act Amendments, facilities may have to apply maximum achievable ...

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 ...

PC MACT proposal may signal widespread change
On May 6, 2009, EPA proposed amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (PC MACT) in response to numerous petitions and court mandates. The proposed revisions present significant challenges to the portland cement industry by establishing a new lower maximum achievable control technology (MACT) floor that would require ...

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 ...
