Or. Admin. Code § 340-226-0320

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024
Section 340-226-0320 - Determination of Process Weight
(1) Process weight is the total weight of all materials introduced into a piece of process equipment. Solid fuels charged are considered part of the process weight, but liquid and gaseous fuels and combustion air are not.
(a) For a cyclical or batch operation, the process weight per hour is derived by dividing the total process weight by the number of hours in one complete operation, excluding any time during which the equipment is idle.
(b) For a continuous operation, the process weight per hour is derived by dividing the process weight by a typical period of time, as approved by DEQ.
(2) Where the nature of any process or operation or the design of any equipment permits more than one interpretation of this rule, the interpretation that results in the minimum value for allowable emission applies.

NOTE: This rule is included in the State of Oregon Clean Air Act Implementation Plan that EQC adopted under OAR 340-200-0040.
