ITALY - 2 Air Emissions
C2.2.22. Recycling. The reuse of ODS after a cleaning process based on filtration and
drying. For refrigerants, recycling includes the recharge of equipment carried out on site.
C2.2.23. Stack. Any point in a source covered by criteria contained in C2.3.1., C2.3.2.,
C2.3.3., C2.3.4., or C2.3.5. designed to emit pollutants.
C2.2.24. Steam/Hot Water Generating Unit. A device that combusts any fuel and produces
steam or heats water or any other heat transfer medium. This definition does not include nuclear
steam generators or process heaters.
C2.2.25. Substantially Modified. Any modification to a facility/building, the cost of which
exceeds $1 million, regardless of funding source.
C2.2.26. Thermal Civil Plant. Any unit or group of interconnected units designated to heat
living areas, also in non-residential buildings, and produce hot water for civil and sanitary uses.
For the purposes of this Chapter, thermal civil plants are units with a capacity > 35 kW (119,000
BTU/hr) and lower than:
C2.2.26.1. 1 MW (3.4 million BTU/hr) if fueled with biomass, oil, emulsion oil and/or
biodiesel;
C2.2.26.2. 0.3 MW (1 million BTU/hr) if fueled with fuel oil or emulsion oil;
C2.2.26.3. 3 MW (10.2 million BTU/hr) if fueled with natural gas and LPG; or
C2.2.26.4. 3 MW (10.2 million BTU/hr) if fueled with biogas.
C2.2.27. Vapor Cleaning Machine. A batch or in-line solvent cleaning machine that boils
liquid solvent which generates solvent vapor that is used as a part of the cleaning or drying cycle.
C2.2.28. Wood Residue. Bark, sawdust, slabs, chips, shavings, mill trim, and other wood
products derived from wood processing and forest management operations.
C2.3. CRITERIA
C2.3.1. Steam/Hot Water Generating Units. The following standards apply to units that
commenced construction on or after 1 October 1994 or that were substantially modified since 1
October 1994.
C2.3.1.1. DoD installations operating thermal civil plants will obtain a declaration
prepared and signed by the licensed professional who installed the thermal civil plants describing
the technical characteristics of the plant. Installations will provide the declaration upon request to
the Italian Base Commander.
C2.3.1.2. Air Emission Standards. The following criteria apply to units with a
maximum design heat input, including thermal civil plants.
C2.3.1.2.1. Steam/hot water generating units and associated emissions controls, if
applicable, must be designed to meet the emission standards for specific sized units shown in
September 2012 Italy FGS 2-4
