ENERActive Eye On
RACT 2 COMPLIANCE IS JANUARY 1, 2017
...ARE YOU READY?
Meeting the next generation of U.S. EPA stringent air
quality energy emission limits has become significantly
easier for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities in the Pennsylvania Market through an ENERActive
Solutions project teaming arrangement with All4 Inc. (ALL4) - a nationally recognized environmental air quality
consulting company. The team arrangement of both Eneractive Solutions and ALL4 brings enhanced services for
clients who need to be in compliance with air quality issues on a source by source basis.
What is RACT?
The lowest emissions limitation that a particular
source is capable of meeting by the application of
Control Technology that is Reasonably Available
considering technological and economic feasibility.
When must I comply?
The RACT compliance date
is set for January 1, 2017 for
Pennyslvania Markets.
Who must comply with RACT?
Existing “major sources” of either of the ozone
precursor pollutants; nitrogen oxides (NOX) or
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are affected
by RACT and must comply.
Eneractive Solutions Power Plant Division provides independent Power Plant services specializing in analysis,
design development, technology screening, implementation and project management oversight.
SO,WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), states across the country
are required to submit plans [i.e., state implementation
plans or (SIPs)], detailing how state regulatory agencies will
attain and/or maintain the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for
The
certain “criteria” pollutants. Such
date is
pollutants are primary constituents
mandated by the
of power providing sources, such
U.S. EPA and those
as engines, turbines, and boilers,
applicable facilities
etc. The application of RACT is
must demonstrate
one regulatory tool that states use
compliance
to attain and maintain the NAAQS.
Existing "major sources" of either of
the ozone precursor pollutants; nitrogen oxides (NOX)
or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are affected
by RACT and must comply by January 1, 2017. RACT
proposals, applications, and related documentation
must be substituted within six (6) months of the final
publication of the rule in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
HOW ENERACTIVE CAN HELP:
If your facility is impacted by the RACT 2
regulation and you have emission units that you
would like to evaluate, retrofit, and/or meet
emission requirements, our team of experts
can help you develop a complete strategy.
The Eneractive strategy would include:
1. An evaluation of rule applicability to
your emissions units (i.e., applicable
emissions limitations and/or work
practices)
2. Effectiveness of installing air pollution
technology/controls
