Appendix - Table 8 to Subpart HHHHHHH of Part 63—Methods and Procedures for Conducting Performance Tests for Process Vents
For each control device used to meet the emission limit in Table 1 or 2 to this subpart for the following pollutant . . . You must . . . Using . . .
1. Total hydrocarbonsa. Measure the total hydrocarbon concentration at the outlet of the final control device or in the stackMethod 25A at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. Conduct each test run for a minimum of 1 hour.
2. Total organic HAPa. Measure the total organic HAP concentration at the outlet of the final control device or in the stacki. Method 18 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-6 and ASTM D6420-99. a Conduct each test run for a minimum of 1 hour.
ii. Method 320 at 40 CFR part 63, appendix A and ASTM D6348-03. a Conduct each test run for a minimum of 1 hour.
3. Vinyl chloridea. Measure the vinyl chloride concentration at the outlet of the final control device or in the stackMethod 18 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-6. Conduct each test run for a minimum of 1 hour.
4. Hydrogen chloridea. Measure hydrogen chloride concentrations at the outlet of the final control device or in the stacki. Method 26 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, collect 60 dry standard liters of gas per test run; or
ii. Method 26A at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, collect 1 dry standard cubic meter of gas per test run.
5. Dioxin/furana. Measure dioxin/furan concentrations on a toxic equivalency basis (and report total mass per isomer) at the outlet of the final control device or in the stackMethod 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 and collect 5 dry standard cubic meters of gas per test run.
6. Any pollutant from a continuous, batch, or combination of continuous and batch process vent(s)a. Select sampling port locations and the number of traverse pointsMethod 1 or 1A at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-1.
b. Determine gas velocity and volumetric flow rateMethod 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, or 2G at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-1 and A-2.
c. Conduct gas molecular weight analysis and correct concentrations the specified percent oxygen in Table 1 or 2 to this subpartMethod 3, 3A, or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2 using the same sampling site and time as HAP samples.
d. Measure gas moisture contentMethod 4 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3.
