Sections:
252:100-31-13. Requirements for existing sulfuric acid plants, OKd27

252:100-31-16. Requirements for existing fossil fuel-fired steam generators, OKd27

252:100-31-13. Requirements for existing sulfuric acid plants, SIP effective September 3, 2019 (OKd27)
     Any sulfuric acid plant that was in being on or before August 17, 1971 shall comply with the following requirements.
     (1)  Sulfuric acid mist standard. Emissions of sulfuric acid mist shall not exceed 0.5 pounds per ton of acid produced (250 grams per metric ton). The acid production shall be expressed as 100% sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
     (2)  Emission monitoring.  The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous SO2 emissions monitoring system for any sulfuric acid plant with a production capacity greater than 300 tons per day expressed as 100% acid, except where the conversion of sulfuric acid is utilized to prevent emissions of sulfur dioxide or other sulfur compounds.
     (3) Installation, calibration, maintenance, and operation of emission monitoring systems. Required emission monitoring systems shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P.

252:100-31-15. Requirements for existing kraft pulp mills, SIP effective September 3, 2019 (OKd27)
     After May 8, 1989, any kraft pulp mill that was in being on or before July 1, 1972 shall comply with the fo11owing requirements.
     (1)  TRS emissions from any recovery furnace shall not exceed 40 ppm, measured as H2S on a dry basis and on a 12-hour average, converted to eight percent (8%) by volume oxygen.
     (2)  TRS emissions from any lime kiln shall not exceed 40 ppm measured as H2S on a dry basis and on a 12-hour average, corrected to ten percent (10%) by volume oxygen.
     (3)  TRS emissions from any smelt-dissolving tank shall not exceed 0.033 pounds TRS per ton (0.016 g TRS/kg) of black liquor solids, measured as H2S on a 12-hour average.
     (4)  Non-condensable gases from all evaporators and digester systems shall be efficiently incinerated or otherwise treated to limit emissions of TRS to less than five (5) ppmv, measured as H2S at standard conditions on a dry basis.

252:100-31-16. Requirements for existing fossil fuel-fired steam generators, SIP effective September 3, 2019 (OKd27)
     Any fossil fuel-fired steam generator unit that was in being on or before July 1, 1972 shall comply with the following requirements.
     (1)  Emission monitoring. The owner or operator shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous SO2 emissions monitoring system for any fossil fuel-fired steam generator that utilizes an air pollution abatement operation to reduce the emissions of sulfur oxides.  Continuous monitoring of oxygen or carbon dioxide is required if it is necessary to convert SO2 monitoring results.
     (2)  Installation, calibration, maintenance, and operation of emission monitoring systems. Required emission monitoring systems shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix P.
