Thermal oxidizers, flares and any other air pollution control devices are exempt from the requirements of this part.
252:100-17-2.2. Definitions
The following words and terms when used in this part and Part 4 of this subchapter shall have the following meaning unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
"Capacity" means the maximum design charging rate of refuse in pounds per hour (lb/hr) an incinerator is designed to receive.
"Particulate matter" or "total particulate matter" means the sum of all filterable and condensable particulate matter emitted to the ambient air as measured by applicable reference methods, or an equivalent or alternative method.
"Primary combustion chamber" means the initial incinerator chamber where refuse is charged, ignited and burned.
"Secondary combustion chamber" means a component of the general purpose incinerator that receives combustion gases from the primary combustion chamber and in which the combustion process is completed.
252:100-17-3. Opacity
As adopted in Oklahoma Register June 15, 1998 (15 Ok Reg 2591) effective June 25, 1998.

252:100-17-5. Incinerator design requirements
An incinerator subject to this part shall be designed and built with a primary combustion chamber that maintains a temperature of at least 800 degrees F in the primary combustion chamber at all times when refuse is being incinerated, and a secondary combustion chamber(s) that is adequately designed and operated to combust gaseous and particulate matter suspended in the exhaust gas stream from the primary combustion chamber. The combustion device in each combustion chamber shall be in operation at all times when refuse is being incinerated.
252:100-17-5.1. Alternative incinerator design requirements
Notwithstanding OAC 252:100-17-5, the Director may approve an alternative incinerator design if the owner or operator of the proposed incinerator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the incinerator will comply with OAC 252:100-17-4 and all other applicable requirements of this chapter.

An incinerator subject to this part shall be designed and built with a primary combustion chamber and secondary combustion chamber(s) each equipped with burners or other combustion devices that maintain the applicable temperature and retention time specified in (1) through (3) of this section in both the primary and secondary combustion chamber(s) at all times when biomedical waste is being incinerated.
(1) The temperature in the primary combustion chamber shall not be less than 1,200 degrees F.
(2) The temperature in the secondary combustion chamber(s) shall not be less than 1,800 degrees F with a retention time of not less than one (1) second when processing biomedical waste containing no chemotherapeutic waste.
(3) The temperature in the secondary combustion chamber(s) shall not be less than 2,000 degrees F with a retention time of not less than two (2) seconds when processing biomedical waste containing chemotherapeutic waste.
252:100-17-11. Emission limits
