* Includes fugitive and miscell ** ~la&ts % Reduction Emission Factorf From Model (Xs/lOOO Kg)- Plant I I I sions. I I I include solution processes but chis was a blind inquiry so specific process or producer was not connected to a given emission factor. I Consider the problem of plant R-1, 3, and 5. To reduce. their emissions to 0.25 Kg/l000 Kg they must now install an incinerator. For plant H-5, at model ?laat rates, this will amount to a reduction of 160 Mg./yr. a= a cost of $121,000 per year (Table 5-4) or $756/Hg, a figure over an order of magnitude higher than the $46/Mg shown in the CTG cost analysis (Table 5-6). . . . I I .EPACsAttempted JustiEcation for Reguirins Incineration of Stream Now Bemg Flared I 'IILSection 5-.4.2 the EPA attempt to justify requiring incirreration of streams now being flared, Their who1e case rests on the ass tion of a low efficiency (90%)for flares and a "state-o -the-art" ezficiency (98%) --i?- for incinerators . As discussed earliter (A 3 and 4) , the TCC aoubts that these is any significant difference between the destruction efficiency o:E flares and incinerators. Without definitive data to quantify a difference between the two the EPAssproposal to require the replacement. of existing flares with incinerators is unconscionable, I .
