Update on ICI Boiler MACT
2 icfi.com |
Clean Air Acts Standards for Boilers and Incinerators On December 20, 2012, EPA finalized a specific set of adjustments to
March 2011 Clean Air Act standards for boilers and certain solid waste incinerators − Area Source Boiler Rule − Major Source Boiler Rule (ICI Boiler MACT) − Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators MACT
Adjustments based on new data and additional information on real-world performance − Maintain public health benefits by reducing toxic air pollution,
including mercury and particulates − Increase flexibility of compliance − Maintain cuts in the cost of implementation represented by March
2011 rule − Provide clarity in identifying which non-hazardous secondary materials
are, or are not, solid wastes

Compliance Timelines Adjustments to numerical emissions limits and to technology
subcategories significant enough to warrant allowing a full three years for compliance
Major Source Boiler Rule (ICI Boiler MACT) − Three years after publication in Federal Register (January 31, 2016) − Sources may request an additional year if required for the installation
of controls or repowering (installation of CHP included)
Area Source Boiler Rule − Timeline for initial notification for existing area source boilers no later
than January 2014 − Compliance date for emissions limits, tune-up requirements and
energy assessments March 21, 2014
CISW Incinerator Rule − Five years after publication in Federal Register (January 31, 2016)

Affected Major and Area Source Boilers Major Source Boilers About 14,000 Covered Units
88% follow work practice rules
12% have numerical limits
About 183,000 Covered Units (no natural gas boilers)
Less than 1% have limits
99% follow work practice rules
12,300 need to follow work practice standards such annual tune ups 1,700 need to meet numerical emissions limits
182,400 need to follow work practice standards such tune ups 600 need to meet numerical emissions limits

ICI Boiler MACT (Major Source Rule) Standards for hazardous air pollutants from major sources:
industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters (excludes any unit combusting solid waste)
Major source is a facility that emits: − 10 tpy or more of any single Hazardous Air Pollutant, or 25 tpy or
more of total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)
Emissions limits applicable to new and existing units > 10 MMBtu/hr − Mercury (Hg) − Filterable Particulate Matter (PM) or Total Selective Metals (TSM) as
a surrogate for non-mercury HAP metals − Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) as a surrogate for acid gas HAP − Carbon Monoxide (CO) as a surrogate for non-dioxin/furan organics

ICI Boiler MACT (cont’d)
For new and existing units < 10 MMBtu/hr – the rule establishes a work practice standard instead of numeric emission limits (periodic tune-ups)
Rule significantly impacts oil, coal, biomass, and process gas boilers − Emission limits must be met at all times except for start-up and
shutdown periods − Controls are potentially required for Hg, PM, HCI, and CO − Also includes monitoring and reporting requirements − Limits are difficult (technically and economically) for oil and coal
boilers (especially older units)

Compliance Strategies Standard Control Technologies for Affected Boilers
− Mercury (Hg): Fabric filters and activated carbon injection are the primary control devices
− Particulate Matter (PM): Electrostatic precipitators may be required for units to meet emission levels
− Hydrogen Chloride (HCl): Wet scrubbers or fabric filters with dry injection are the primary control technologies
− Carbon Monoxide (CO): Tune-ups, replacement burners, combustion controls and oxidation catalysts are the preferred control technologies
Required compliance measures for any unit depend on current emissions levels from the units and the control equipment
already in place

Convert boilers to natural gas − Replace burners in existing boilers with natural gas
burners (lose efficiency)
− Replace boiler with natural gas boiler
− Compliance becomes straight forward (tune-ups in lieu of more rigorous control options)
Compliance Strategies
9 icfi.com |
Install a natural gas fueled CHP system − Gas turbine/generator produces electricity − Turbine waste heat generates steam through a HRSG
Represents a tradeoff of benefits versus additional costs – Represents a productive investment – Potential for lower steam costs due to generating own
power – Higher overall efficiency and reduced emissions – Higher capital costs, but partially offset by required
compliance costs or new gas boiler costs

Texas Permitting Options
Texas has three permitting routes for CHP – Standard Permit – applies to most EGUs
Permit by Rule (PBR) – only applies to natural gas CHP systems
Case-by-Case – applies to systems not eligible under the 1st two options
22 icfi.com |
Texas Standard Permit
Issued in 2001, revised in 2007 Defined permitting procedure for CHP and other
EGUs Includes output-based NOx limits
o No size constraints o Separate limits for East and West Texas
Must use either: o Natural gas o Landfill gas, digester gas, stranded oilfield gas o Liquid fuels
23 icfi.com |
Texas Standard Permit
Allows for CHP thermal credit: o Provides a compliance credit based on a rate of 1
MWh for each 3.4 MMBtu of heat recovered(added to denominator of lbs/MWh emissions rate).
o To receive compliance credit, the heat recovered must be > 20% of the total energy output of the CHP unit
o The SP can be accessed at: http://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/permitting/air/NewSourceReview/Combustion/egu_techsum_sp.pdf
24 icfi.com |
Texas Permit by Rule (PBR)
Issued in July 2012
Expedited permit option for CHP systems fueled by “pipeline-quality” natural gas o Emergency fuels (propane, LPG, diesel, etc.) may be
used for no more than 720 hours in any 365 day period
CHP systems < 20 kW are exempt from permitting requirements
Individual CHP system or any group of units may not exceed 15 MW in capacity
CHP systems from 8 to 15 MW must install an oxidation catalyst
No supplemental firing (gas turbines)
25 icfi.com |
Texas Permit by Rule (PBR)
PBR output-based NOx limits are generally less stringent than those in the standard permit; CO limits also apply
Recovered heat must be > 20% of the total heat energy output to qualify o Total heat energy output is “fuel in” minus “power out”
CHP thermal credit same as under the standard permit o 1 MWh for each 3.4 MMBtu of heat recovered
The PBR can be accessed at: http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&app=9&p_dir=&p_rloc=&p_tloc=&p_ploc=&pg=1&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=106&rl=513
26 icfi.com |
PBR M&V Requirements
Reciprocating engine (ICE) > 20kW – analyze emissions within 180 days with portable analyzer; ongoing monitoring every 6 months
If CHP unit not certified by manufacturer, tested within 90 days of startup; Gas turbines and ICE > 375kW retest every 16,000 hours
If oxidation catalyst required, tested within 90 days and retest every 16,000 hours
Records need to be kept for 2 years – non compliance events, maintenance, and emergency fuel hours.
