Performance standards.

§ 264.343 Performance standards.

An incinerator burning hazardous waste must be designed, constructed, and maintained so that, when operated in accordance with operating requirements specified under § 264.345, it will meet the following performance standards:

(a)

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, an incinerator burning hazardous waste must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under § 264.342) in its permit for each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following equation:

where:

Win = mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the incinerator

and

Wout = mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere.
