Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 19, October 7, 2024
Section 7:27-16.9 - Stationary combustion turbines
(a) The provisions of this section apply to any stationary combustion turbine that is subject to the provisions of N.J.A.C. 7:27-19, except emergency generators.
(b) The owner or operator of any stationary combustion turbine shall cause it to emit CO in concentrations that do not exceed 250 parts per million by volume, dry basis (ppmvd) at 15 percent oxygen.
(c) The owner or operator of any stationary combustion turbine shall cause it to emit VOC in concentrations that do not exceed 50 ppmvd at 15 percent oxygen.
(d) Any owner or operator of a stationary combustion turbine:
1. With a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 30 million BTU per hour or greater, subject to this section shall achieve compliance with this section by May 31, 1995, and maintain compliance with this section thereafter; or
2. With a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 25 million BTU, but less than 30 million BTU per hour, subject to this section shall achieve compliance with this section by March 7, 2007, and maintain compliance with this section thereafter.
(e) The owner or operator of any stationary combustion turbine:
1. With a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 30 million BTU per hour or greater, subject to this section shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with the procedures at 7:27-16.23 before May 31, 1996; or
2. With a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 25 million BTU, but less than 30 million BTU per hour, subject to this section shall demonstrate compliance with this subchapter in accordance with the procedures at 7:27-16.23 on or before March 7, 2008.
(f) The owner or operator of any stationary combustion turbine subject to this section with a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 25 million BTU per hour, shall adjust the combustion process in accordance with the procedure set forth at 7:27-19.16 and the following schedule:
1. For a stationary combustion turbine that has a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 25 million BTU but less than 30 million BTU per hour, according to manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedules beginning in 2007; or
2. For a stationary combustion turbine that has a maximum gross heat input rate of at least 30 million BTU per hour or greater, or required by this section prior to November 7, 2005 to adjust the combustion process, according to manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedules.
(g) Any source conducting emissions tests for VOC in accordance with this section shall do so using New Jersey Air Test Method 3 (N.J.A.C. 7:27B-3) or any equivalent method approved in advance by the Department and acceptable to EPA.
(h) Any source conducting emissions monitoring for CO to determine compliance with this section shall do so using the method set forth at 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification Test No. 2, and 40 CFR 60, Appendix F, Quality Assurance Requirements, including any amendments or supplements thereto, or any equivalent method approved in advance by the Department and acceptable to EPA.
(i) Any source conducting emissions tests for CO to determine compliance with this section shall do so using the method set forth at 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Reference Method 10, including any amendments or supplements thereto, or any equivalent method approved in advance by the Department and acceptable to EPA.
(j) Any owner or operator submitting a Repowering Plan for a combustion source pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-19 may submit facility-specific CO and VOC limits as an alternative to those specified in this section as part of the facility's proposed Repowering Plan.
