LAST REVISED 12/20/93

(Adopted: 12/20/93)

Rule 1160

Internal Combustion Engines

(A) General

(1) Purpose: The purpose of this rule is to establish

limits for emissions associated with emergency,

portable, standby, or stationary internal combustion

(IC) engines.

(2) Applicability: This rule is applicable to any

stationary internal combustion engine rated at 1000 or

(B) Definitions

For the purposes of this rule, the following definitions

shall apply:

(1) "Aggregate Emissions": A facility-wide sum of actual

emissions, on an emissions category specific basis,

from engines subject to this rule operated at a single

facility. Such "aggregating" of emissions will include

all regulated emissions categories subject to this

rule.

(2) "Baseline Emission Rate": Emissions under normal

operating conditions, prior to control, determined by

an emissions compliance test conducted in accordance

of compliance and operational preparedness testing (1

hr/wk) and during periods of actual power loss.

(5) "Emissions Compliance Test": An emissions compliance

test conducted in accordance with a District approved

test protocol pursuant to the District's Compliance

Test Procedural Manual.

primary power source is undergoing maintenance or

repairs.

(13) "Stationary Internal Combustion Engine": Any spark or

compression ignited reciprocating internal combustion

engine that is attached to a foundation at a location,

or is portable and operated at a location for more than

90 days in any consecutive twelve month period,

excluding engines used for self propulsion of a

vehicle.

(1) Compliance Schedule

(a) All internal combustion engines subject to this

rule shall achieve an overall 15 percent reduction

in their baseline emissions rate by January 1,

1995.

(b) All internal combustion engines subject to this

rule shall meet and be in full compliance with the

emissions requirements of subsections (C)(2) or

(C)(3) by January 1, 1998.

(2) Concentration Standards

Unless opting for the alternative NOx emissions

compliance strategy, on and after January 1, 1998,

engines subject to this rule shall not exceed the

following concentration standards:

(a) Rich-burn Engines:

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 50 ppmv*

Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) 250 ppmv*

Carbon Monoxide (CO) 4500 ppmv*

(b) Lean-burn Engines:

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 140 ppmv*

Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) 750 ppmv*

Carbon Monoxide (CO) 4500 ppmv*

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 700 ppmv*

Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) 750 ppmv*

Carbon Monoxide (CO) 4500 ppmv*

* All ppmv limitations shall be referenced at 15

percent volume stack gas oxygen measured on a dry

basis and averaged over 15 consecutive minutes.

(3) Alternative Compliance Strategy - NOx Emissions Only

The ROC and CO standards continue to apply when this

alternative NOx emissions compliance strategy is

selected by the permittee in consultation with the

District. For NOx emissions only, the alternative

strategy is a specified minimum percent reduction in

emissions of NOx from the baseline emissions rate. On

and after January 1, 1998, engines subject to this

rule, opting for the alternative compliance strategy,

shall achieve at least the following minimum

reductions:

(a) Rich-burn Engines

not less than a 90 % reduction of NOx emissions

from the baseline rate

(b) Lean-burn Engines

not less than an 80 % reduction of NOx emissions

from the baseline rate

not less than a 30 % reduction of NOx emissions

from the baseline rate

Following the baseline emission rate determination for

each engine subject to this rule, the choice of which

emission compliance standard shall apply, shall be made

on a case-by-case basis by the District in consultation

with the permittee. When such a determination is made,

the Authority To Construct/Permit To Operate (ATC/PTO)

shall thereafter contain specific enforceable operating

conditions which will ensure compliance with the

selected standard/limit.

The percent reduction as measured across the control

device or relative to the baseline emission rate of

each permit unit shall be determined on an emission

rate basis. A permittee may petition the District to

be allowed to "aggregate" the engine emissions

facility-wide by submitting an Emission Control &

Mitigation Plan. The District may approve the

facility's Emission Control & Mitigation Plan, pursuant

to subsection (C)(5), on a case-by-case basis.

(4) Demonstrated Engine Efficiency Alternative

For engines subject to this rule with a demonstrated

efficiency greater than 30%, the following procedure

may be used to determine the alternate allowable

emissions limit. Each emission limit expressed in

subsection (C)(2) may be multiplied by the engine

efficiency, (E), divided by the reference efficiency of

30 percent. Engine efficiency (E) shall be determined

using one of the following two methods, whichever is

lower:

(a) (3413 BTU/kW-Hr)(100)

E = -------------------------------------------

Actual Heat Rate at HHV of fuel (BTU/kW-Hr)

where the demonstrated percent efficiency (E)

applies to the engine only, without consideration

of any downstream energy recovery, is averaged

over 15 consecutive minutes and measured within 30

days of the first emissions compliance test. The

actual heat rate in Btu/kW-hr, which can be

converted to Btu/hp-hr by dividing by 1.34

according to the following formula, shall be

measured at peak load for each applicable engine.

(BTU/kwhr) = (BTU/bhp-hr)

----------

(1.34)

(b) E= (Mfg Rated Efficiency [Continuous] at LHV)(LHV)

-----------------------------------------------

(HHV)

Engine efficiency (E) shall not be less than 30

percent. An engine with less than a 30 percent

efficiency, shall be assigned an efficiency of 30

percent for the purpose of this rule.

(5) Emission Control & Mitigation Plan

The permittee may elect to petition the District for

the purpose of aggregating internal combustion engine

emissions in order to comply with emissions reduction

limitations under the percent reduction option in

subsection (C)(3). The operator of a facility subject

to the provisions of subsections (C)(1), (C)(2) or

(C)(4) of this rule shall, when selecting the emissions

aggregating approach to compliance, submit an Emission

Control and Mitigation Plan for the facility to the

District. The facility's Emission Control & Mitigation

Plan shall be submitted to the District not later than

January 1, 1995.

All affected internal combustion engines within the

facility shall be addressed within the Plan and each

engine shall be identified as to which option for

emissions compliance, i.e. the per engine ppmv limit,

the per engine adjusted ppmv limit, or the per engine %

reduction limit. The specific designation shall be

recorded onto the ATC/PTO along with any specific

operating limits or emissions limits pertaining to the

specific engine, as enforceable permit conditions.

The Plan shall be approved by the Air Pollution Control

Officer in writing. For new engines and modifications

to existing engines, the plan shall be submitted to and

approved by the District prior to issuance of the

ATC/PTO. The owner/operator may petition in writing

for a change to the plan at any time.

The Plan shall include the following:

(a) The manufacturer, model number, unit

identification (e.g. serial) number, rated

horsepower, and combustion method (i.e., rich-burn

or lean-burn or diesel) of each engine and the

fuel type.

(b) A description of the NOx control system installed

on the engine (if any), including unit

identification (e.g. serial) number, type (e.g.,

nonselective catalyst, "clean-burn" combustion,

etc.) and manufacturer, as well as a description

of any ancillary equipment related to the control

of emissions (e.g., automatic air/fuel ratio

controller, fuel valves, etc.). The operator

shall notify the District of any replacement of

such device(s) and the new serial or

identification numbers.

and the location of the engine by a schematic of

the affected facilities.

(d) A specific emission inspection procedure for each

engine to ensure that the engine is operated in

strict accordance with the manufacturer's

specifications and in continual compliance with

the provisions of this rule.

(e) The procedure shall include an operator's

inspection schedule.
