Sec. 60.292 Standards for particulate matter.
(a) On and after the date on which the performance test required to
be conducted by Sec. 60.8 is completed, no owner or operator of a glass
melting furnace subject to the provisions of this subpart shall cause to
be discharged into the atmosphere--
(1) From any glass melting furnace fired exclusively with either a
gaseous fuel or a liquid fuel, particulate matter at emission rates
exceeding those specified in table CC-1, Column 2 and Column 3,
respectively, or
(2) From any glass melting furnace, fired simultaneously with
gaseous and liquid fuels, particulate matter at emission rates exceeding
STD as specified by the following equation:
STD=X [1.3(Y)+(Z)]
Where:
STD=Particulate matter emission limit, g of particulate/kg (lb of
particulate/ton) of glass produced.
X=Emission rate specified in table CC-1 for furnaces fired with gaseous
fuel (Column 2).
Y=Decimal fraction of liquid fuel heating value to total (gaseous and
liquid) fuel heating value fired in the glass melting furnaces as
determined in Sec. 60.296(b). (joules/joules).
Z=(1-Y).
(b) Conversion of a glass melting furnace to the use of liquid fuel
is not considered a modification for the purposes of Sec. 60.14.
(c) Rebricking and the cost of rebricking is not considered a
reconstruction for the purposes of Sec. 60.15.
(d) An owner or operator of an experimental furnace is not subject
to the requirements of this section.
(e) During routine maintenance of add-on pollution controls, an
owner or operator of a glass melting furnace subject to the provisions
of paragraph (a) of this section is exempt from the provisions of
paragraph (a) of this section if:
(1) Routine maintenance in each calendar year does not exceed 6
days;
(2) Routine maintenance is conducted in a manner consistent with
good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions; and
(3) A report is submitted to the Administrator 10 days before the
start of the routine maintenance (if 10 days cannot be provided, the
report must be submitted as soon as practicable) and the report contains
an explanation of the schedule of the maintenance.
