§ 63.1292 Definitions.

All terms used in this subpart shallhave the meaning given them in theAct, in subpart A of this part, and inthis section. If a term is defined in sub-part A and in this section, it shall havethe meaning given in this section forpurposes of this subpart.

Auxiliary blowing agent, or ABA,means a low-boiling point liquid addedto assist foaming by generating gas be-yond that resulting from theisocyanate-water reaction.

Breakthrough means that point in theadsorption step when the mass transferzone (i.e., the section of the carbon bedwhere the HAP is removed from thecarrier gas stream) first reaches thecarbon bed outlet as the mass transferzone moves down the bed in the direc-tion of flow. The breakthrough point ischaracterized by the beginning of asharp increase in the outlet HAP or or-ganic compound concentration.

Calibrate means to verify the accu-racy of a measurement device against aknown standard. For the purpose ofthis subpart, there are two levels ofcalibration. The initial calibration in-cludes the verification of the accuracyof the device over the entire operatingrange of the device. Subsequent cali-brations can be conducted for a pointor several points in a limited range ofoperation that represents the mostcommon operation of the device.

Canned motor pump means a pumpwith interconnected cavity housings,motor rotors, and pump casing. In acanned motor pump, the motor bear-ings run in the process liquid and allseals are eliminated.

Carbon adsorption system means a sys-tem consisting of a tank or containerthat contains a specific quantity of ac-tivated carbon. For the purposes of thissubaprt, a carbon adsorption system isused as a control device for storagevessels. Typically, the spent carbon beddoes not undergo regeneration, but isreplaced.

Connector means flanged, screwed, orother joined fittings used to connecttwo pipe lines or a pipe line and a pieceof equipment. A common connector is aflange. Joined fittings welded com-pletely around the circumference ofthe interface are not considered to be

connectors for the purposes of this sub-part.

Flexible polyurethane foam means aflexible cellular polymer containingurea and carbamate linkages in thechain backbone produced by reacting adiisocyanate, polyol, and water. Flexi-ble polyurethane foams are open-celled, permit the passage of airthrough the foam, and possess thestrength and flexibility to allow re-peated distortion or compression understress with essentially complete recov-ery upon removal of the stress.

Flexible polyurethane foam processmeans the equipment used to produce aflexible polyurethane foam product.For the purpose of this subpart, theflexible polyurethane foam process in-cludes raw material storage; produc-tion equipment and associated piping,ductwork, etc.; and curing and storageareas.

Foam fabrication process means an op-eration for cutting or bonding flexiblepolyurethane foam pieces together orto other substrates.

Grade of foam means foam with a dis-tinct combination of indentation forcedeflection (IFD) and density values.

HAP ABA means methylene chloride,or any other HAP compound used as anauxiliary blowing agent.

High-pressure mixhead means amixhead where mixing is achieved byimpingement of the high pressurestreams within the mixhead.

Indentation Force Deflection (IFD)means a measure of the load bearingcapacity of flexible polyurethane foam.IFD is generally measured as the force(in pounds) required to compress a 50square inch circular indentor foot intoa four inch thick sample, typically 15inches square or larger, to 25 percent ofthe sample’s initial height.

In diisocyanate service means a pieceof equipment that contains or contactsa diisocyanate.

In HAP ABA service means a piece ofequipment that contains or contacts aHAP ABA.

Initial startup means the first time anew or reconstructed affected sourcebegins production of flexible poly-urethane foam.

At eachslabstock foam production source com-plying with the rolling annual compli-ance provisions described in paragraph(a)(1) of this section, actual HAP ABAemissions shall not exceed the allow-able HAP ABA emission level for a con-secutive 12-month period. The actualHAP ABA emission level for a consecu-tive 12-month period shall be deter-mined using the procedures in para-graph (b)(1) of this section, and the al-lowable HAP ABA emission level forthe corresponding 12-month periodshall be calculated in accordance withparagraph (b)(2) of this section.

(1) The actual HAP ABA emissionsfor a 12-month period shall be cal-culated as the sum of actual monthlyHAP ABA emissions for each of the in-dividual 12 months in the period. Ac-tual monthly HAP ABA emissions shallbe equal to the amount of HAP ABAadded to the slabstock foam productionline at the mixhead, determined in ac-cordance with § 63.1303(b), unless a re-covery device is used. Slabstock foamproduction sources using recovery de-vices to reduce HAP ABA emissionsshall determine actual monthly HAPABA emissions using the procedures inparagraph (e) of this section.

(2) The allowable HAP ABA emis-sions for a consecutive 12-month periodshall be calculated as the sum of allow-able monthly HAP ABA emissions foreach of the individual 12 months in theperiod. Allowable HAP ABA emissionsfor each individual month shall be cal-culated using Equation 2.

Forsource streams that contain nitrogen,air, or other inerts which are not HAPor VOC, the average stream responsefactor shall be calculated on an inert-free basis. The response factor may bedetermined at any concentration forwhich monitoring for leaks will be con-ducted.

(3) The instrument shall be cali-brated before use on each day of its useby the procedures specified in Method21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.

(4) Calibration gases shall be:(i) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hy-

drocarbon in air); and(ii) A mixture of methane and air at

a concentration of approximately, 1,000ppm for all transfer pumps; and 500ppm for all other equipment, except asprovided in paragraph (a)(4)(iii) of thissection.

(iii) The instrument may be cali-brated at a higher methane concentra-tion (up to 2,000 ppm) than the leakdefinition concentration for a specificpiece of equipment for monitoring thatpiece of equipment. If the monitoringinstrument’s design allows for multiplecalibration gas concentrations, thenthe lower concentration calibration gasshall be no higher than 2,000 ppm meth-ane and the higher concentration cali-bration gas shall be no higher than10,000 ppm methane.

(5) Monitoring shall be performedwhen the equipment is in HAP ABAservice, in use with an acceptable sur-rogate volatile organic compound

which is not a HAP ABA, or is in usewith any other detectable gas or vapor.

(6) If no instrument is available on-site that will meet the performancecriteria specified in section 3.1.2(a) ofMethod 21 of 40 CFR Part 60, appendixA, the readings from an available in-strument may be adjusted by multi-plying by the average response factorfor the stream.
