R307-401-14. Used Oil Fuel Burned for Energy Recovery

  (1) Definitions.

  "Boiler" means boiler as defined in R315-1-1(b).

  "Used Oil" is defined as any oil that has been refined from crude oil, used, and, as a result of such use contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.

  (2) Boilers burning used oil for energy recovery are exempt from the requirement to obtain an approval order in R307-401-5 through R307-401-8 if the following requirements are met:

  (a) the heat input design is less than one million BTU/hr;

  (b) contamination levels of all used oil to be burned do not exceed any of the following values:

  (i) arsenic - 5 ppm by weight,

  (ii) cadmium - 2 ppm by weight,

  (iii) chromium - 10 ppm by weight,

  (iv) lead - 100 ppm by weight,

  (v) total halogens - 1,000 ppm by weight,

  (vi) Sulfur - 0.50% by weight; and

  (c) the flash point of all used oil to be burned is at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

  (3) Testing. The owner or operator shall test each load of used oil received or generated as directed by the director to ensure it meets these requirements. Testing may be performed by the owner/operator or documented by test reports from the used fuel oil vendor. The flash point shall be measured using the appropriate ASTM method as required by the director. Records for used oil consumption and test reports are to be kept for all periods when fuel-burning equipment is in operation. The records shall be kept on site and made available to the director or the director's representative upon request. Records must be kept for a three-year period.
