A practical approach to compliance with the HON MACT
- TRC Environmental Corp., Windsor, CT (United States)
In today`s highly regulated environment, most U.S. chemical manufacturing plants are already required to install devices to control air pollution, or take steps to otherwise reduce or eliminate emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Nonetheless, operators throughout the chemical process industries (CPI) are bracing for the HON Rule -- the Hazardous Organics National Emissions Standards, as promulgated by the US Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Determining whether or not the HON Rule applies to a given facility is not a simple matter, nor is compliance expected to come cheaply. This article will help manufacturers in the CPI to determine if the regulation applies to their facilities, and to assess what controls are required. The paper describes who is subject to the HON Rule; what is covered by the HON rule; the compliance timetable; reference control technologies; the emission rate standard; the use of emissions averaging; monitoring and recordkeeping; and getting started.
