Appendix A: Definitions for Questionnaire
Definitions:
1. For purposes of this survey, combustion units include the following devices:
Boiler means an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion and having the primary purpose of recovering thermal energy in the form of steam or hot water. Waste heat boilers, electric utility steam generating units (see definition), kraft recovery furnaces (see definition),and units required to have permit under Section 3005 of RCRA (e.g., hazardous waste waste incinerators) do not have to respond to this survey.
Process heater means an enclosed device using controlled flame, that is not a boiler, and the unit’s primary purpose is to transfer heat indirectly to a process material (liquid, gas, or solid) or to a heat transfer material for use in a process unit, instead of generating steam. Process heaters are devices in which the combustion gases do not directly come into contact with process materials. Process heaters do not include units used for comfort heat or space heat, food preparation for on-site consumption, or autoclaves.
Other combustion unit means any other unit firing a non-fossil liquid or solid fuel/material, other than unadulterated wood (see definition), whether covered under another MACT standard that is not a boiler, process heater, or incinerator. Units required to have a permit under Section 3005 of RCRA (e.g., hazardous waste incinerators) do not have to respond to this survey.
Incinerator refers to a combustion unit with the primary purpose of destroying matter and/or reducing the volume of the materials and is neither a boiler or process heater. Units required to have a permit under Section 3005 (e.g., hazardous waste incinerators) do not have to respond to this survey.
2. Electric utility steam generating unit means a fossil fuel-fired combustion unit of more than 25 megawatts that serves a generator that produces electricity for sale. A fossil fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam and electricity and supplies more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 megawatts electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale is considered an electric utility steam generating unit. Non-fossil fuel-fired electric utility steam generating units of any size must respond to this survey.
3. Kraft recovery furnace means a furnace (i.e., boiler) used to recover chemicals consisting primarily of sodium and sulfur compounds by burning black liquor which is spent cooking liquor that has been separated from the pulp produced by the kraft pulping process. Recovery furnaces that combust other non-fossil liquid or solid materials with the black liquor must respond to this survey.
4. Small gas-fired boilers or process heaters mean boilers or process heaters that have a heat input capacity less than 10 mmBtu/hr that: (1) burn natural gas, propane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or refinery gas not combined with any other fuels; (2) if a unit burns distillate liquid fuel only during periods of gas curtailment, gas supply emergencies, or for periodic testing of liquid fuel and the periodic testing of liquid fuel does not to exceed a combined total of 48 hours during any calendar year, this unit is still a gas-fired boiler for the purpose of this survey.
5. On-site means the fuel/material generated from a process located at the facility. Off-site means either a raw material or other material generated from a process not located at the same facility as the combustion unit.
6. Major sources are those plant sites with the potential to emit 10 tons per year (tpy) of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tpy of a combination of HAPs. Section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act Amendments contains the list of HAPs.
7. Small Entity is defined as follows:
(1) for Private Businesses it is determined for each NAICS of the owning entity based on number of employees and/or company revenue. Please see http://www.sba.gov/idc/groups/public/documents/sba_homepage/serv_sstd_tablepdf.pdf to evaluate the small entity status of your facility;
(2) for local government entities, such as a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and
(3) for not-for-profits an organization that is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
8. Solid fuel fired units are any boilers, process heaters or other combustion units that fire solid fuel alone or in conjunction with other fuel types
9. Stack configurations are defined as follows:
A dedicated single stack configuration is where all flue gases from a combustion device are emitted through one stack.
A common stack configuration combines flue gases from more than one combustion device.
A multiple stack configuration represents a situation where a boiler vents to a dedicated control device, and the exhaust gases from the control device are emitted from more than one stack.
10. Seasonal operation indicates an operating pattern that varies heat input demand depending on time of year, but follows the same pattern annually.
11. Seasonal average is the mean value of number (emission rate or operating parameter) over an entire operating season. For example, if bagasse is fired 120 days per year, 24 hours per day, the seasonal average heat input rate would be the average of all the heat input rates during the 120 day period.
12. CEM (Continuous emission monitor) provides continuous measurement of pollutants emitted into the atmosphere in exhaust gases from combustion or industrial processes.
13. CPMS (Continuous Parameter Monitoring System) provides continuous measurement of operating parameters for control devices such as gas flow rate entering or exiting the control device, daily average voltage and secondary current (or total power input) to the control device, daily average pressure drop across the scrubber, or daily average liquid-to-gas ratio.
14. Start-up means the setting in operation of an affected combustion unit for any purpose. Start-up fuel does not apply to stabilization fuels. You should include stabilization fuels as part of your response to questions II.C.2 and II.C.3.
15. Unadulterated wood means wood that is not painted, varnished or treated with chemicals such as glues, resins, preservatives or adhesives. Any painted or varnished wood, wood containing glues or resins, or chemically treated wood (e.g., pressure treated wood, treated railroad ties) or wood containing glues or adhesives (e.g., plywood, particle board) is considered adulterated wood.
16. Non-fossil or other fuel/material is defined as any material that is not coal, oil, or natural gas, or derived from coal (e.g., coal refuse (culm, gob, coal tar), oil (e.g., petroleum coke), or natural gas. For illustrative purposes only, EPA has provided a detailed (though not extensive) list of non-fossil fuels. This definition or list does not represent or imply any regulatory definition of non-fossil fuel.
