NJAC 7:27-19.11 EMERGENCY GENERATORS "Emergency generator" means a combustion source greater than or equal to 37 kw (50 HP) that: 1. Is located at a facility and produces mechanical or thermal energy, or electrical power exclusively for use at the facility; 2. Is the source of mechanical or thermal energy, or electrical power during an emergency when the primary source of energy is unavailable; and 3. Is operated only: i. During the performance of normal testing and maintenance procedures, as recommended in writing by the manufacturer and/or as required in writing by a Federal or State law or regulation; ii. When there is power outage or the primary source of mechanical or thermal energy fails because of an emergency; or iii. When there is a voltage issued by PJM and posted on the PJM internet website (www.pjm.com) under the emergency procedures menu. All other uses, i.e. peak shaving, as part of a financial arrangement with another entity, supply power to the grid or for demand response are NOT considered emergency uses and the generator must meet the NOx RACT emission limits. Less than 80 MMBtu/hr (single engine or total combined ratings engines) Complies with NSPS Subpart IIII and burns Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (if combusting liquid fuel)? Sub 8 or Sub 22 Permit Comply with: i) Work Practice Standards ii) Management Practice Standards &/or iii) Comply with CI/SI NSPS. iv) O&M Testing <= 100 hrs/year General Permit GP-005 NJAC 7:27-19.11: RECORDKEEPING
N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.15 et seq.: How Do I Demonstrate Compliance with NOx RACT Emission Limits? 1. N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.15: i. Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) installed on the engine [NOT COMMON] or ii. Stack Testing based upon the average NOx of three (1)-hr tests, each performed over a consecutive 60-minute period specified by the Department, and performed in compliance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.17, where the engine is operating at maximum achievable load at the ambient conditions of the day of testing. NOx testing shall be conducted concurrently with CO testing. The applicable NOx emission limits will not be considered to have been met unless the concurrent CO testing demonstrates compliance with the CO limit in N.J.A.C. 7:27-16.10 which is CO <= 500 ppmvd @ 15% O 2, or the permit limit for CO, whichever is more stringent, is also met. 2. N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.16: Annual Combustion Adjustment : Determine concentrations of NOx, CO and Oxygen measured before and after the adjustment was made.
N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.6 et seq.: What if I Cannot Meet or Demonstrate Compliance with NOx RACT Emission Limits? The facility can seek approval of one of the following: 1. N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.6 Emissions Averaging for two (2) or more source operations or items of equipment. Facility to submit a written application or emissions averaging plan to the Department in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.14(a), (b) and (c) for approval. or 2. N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.13 Alternate (Maximum) Emission Limit or AEL instead of meeting NOx RACT regulatory. Facility to submit a request for a proposed AEL in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:27-19.13(b) for approval. Procedure will require a public comment period. AEL is submitted to EPA for approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. Agency review may last from six (6) months up to one year.
