Abstract |
The purpose of this document is to assist air pollution agencies in the enforcement of Federal new source performance standards (NSPS) for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) regenerators. The standards restrict the visible (opacity), particulate, and carbon monoxide emissions from FCC regenerators whose construction on modification commenced on or after June 11, 1973. This manual outlines the various NSPS regulations which currently apply to an FCC unit, and describes the different types of FCC operations the field inspector must be prepared to examine. This manual also provides an on-site inspection procedure and information checklist which will supply an agency with the information needed to determine compliance with NSPS regulations. A short summarization of the official EPA source test methods is included to enable the inspector to observe performance testing and ensure that proper procedures are used. |
