Section 1200-03-06-.02 - NON-PROCESS PARTICULATE EMISSION STANDARDS(1) Existing Fuel Burning Equipment The maximum hour allowable particulate emissions for a fuel burning installation commenced before April 3, 1972, shall be determined from the following equations:

Where:
E = allowable particulate emissions in lb per million Btu.
Q = total installation heat input in million Btu per hour.
(2) New Fuel Burning Equipment(a) The maximum allowable particulate emissions for a fuel burning installation commenced on or after April 3, 1972, shall be determine from the following equations: Click to view Image
where, E and Q are as defined in paragraph (1) above.
(b) Where only part of the fuel burning equipment in a fuel burning installation is constructed or modified on or after April 3, 1972, the maximum allowable particulate emissions is determined by the following equation: Click to view Image
Where,
Et = allowable particulate emission in lb/hr,
Qx = total heat input for existing equipment in million Btu/hr,
Ex = allowable emissions for installation of size Qx as determined by paragraph (1) above in lb per million Btu,
Qy = total heat input for new equipment in million Btu/hr.
Ey = allowable emissions for installation of size Qy as determined by subparagraph (a) above in lb per million Btu.
(c) In lieu of (a) above, the maximum allowable particulate emissions from any wood refuse boiler built after April 3, 1972, in which 3% or more of the total heat input is obtained from ammonium sulfite spent liquor, shall not exceed .24 pounds per million BTU heat input. This rule applies to that fuel burning equipment designed to burn wood and when the burning of wood provides at least 30% of the heat input of the unit. This rule does not apply to units burning coal.(3) Incinerators (a) The maximum allowable particulate emissions from incinerators is 0.200 percent of the charging rate for incinerators with a 2000 pound per hour charging rate or less and 0.100 percent of the charging rate for incinerators with a charging rate greater than 2000 pounds per hour.(c) The particulate emission standards of this paragraph are not applicable to wigwam burners, air curtain destructors, and air curtain incinerators.(5) Relocated non-portable fuel burning equipment. The maximum allowable particulate emissions for non-portable fuel burning equipment which is relocated more than 1.0 km from the previous position after November 6, 1988 shall be the greater of the actual emissions at its previous site or the allowable emissions for new fuel burning equipment.Tenn.
