Under these circumstances, the owner or operator is not required to conduct an emission test for HCl.(d) The owner or operator of a sidewell group 1 furnace that conducts reactive fluxing, except for cover flux, in the hearth, or that conducts reactive fluxing in the sidewell at times when the level of molten metal falls below the top of the passage between the sidewell and the hearth, shall conduct the performance tests required by par. (a) or (b), to measure emissions from both the sidewell and the hearth. (5) GROUP 1 FURNACE, INCLUDING MELTING AND HOLDING FURNACES, WITHOUT ADD-ON AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICES.

Each test shall be conducted while the group 1 furnace, including a melting and holding furnace, processes only clean charge.(d) The owner or operator may choose to determine the rate of reactive flux addition to the group 1 furnace and assume, for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the SAPU emission limit, that all reactive flux added to the group 1 furnace is emitted. Under these circumstances, the owner or operator is not required to conduct an emission test for HCl.(6) SWEAT FURNACE. The owner or operator shall measure emissions of D&F from each sweat furnace at the outlet of the control device except that the owner or operator is not required to conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance with the emission standard of s.

Under these circumstances, the owner or operator is not required to conduct an emission test for HCl. If the owner or operator of any in-line flux box which has no ventilation ductwork manifolded to any outlet or emission control device chooses to demonstrate compliance with the emission limit for HCl by limiting use of reactive chlorine flux and assuming that all chlorine in the flux is emitted as HCl, compliance with the HCl limit shall also constitute compliance with the emission limit for PM, and no separate emission test for PM is required. In this case, the owner or operator of the unvented in-line flux box shall utilize the maximum permissible PM emission rate for the in-line flux boxes when determining the total emissions for any SAPU which includes the flux box.(9) ROTARY DROSS COOLER. The owner or operator shall conduct a performance test to measure PM emissions from a rotary dross cooler at the outlet of the control device.(10) SECONDARY ALUMINUM PROCESSING UNIT. The owner or operator shall conduct performance tests as described in pars. (a) to (c). The results of the performance tests shall be used to establish emission rates in lb/ton of feed or charge for PM and HCl and mg TEQ/Mg of feed or charge for D&F emissions from each emission unit. These emission rates shall be used for compliance monitoring in the calculation of the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average emission rates using the equation in s. NR 463.15(20).
