 fuel burning equipment < 1x106 BTU/hr total heat input design capacity.

 fuel burning equipment with designed heat inputs > 1x106 BTU per hour, but < 500x106 BTU per hour, the following equation will be used to determine the allowable particulate emission limitation.

 fuel burning equipment of > 500x106 BTU per hour or more.

 0.5 lbs. per 106 BTU heat input

 

 PE=0.5(FI)-0.26

Where:

PE = Particulate Emission in Pounds per million BTU heat input.

FI = Fuel Input in Million BTU per hour.

 0.1 lbs. per 106 BTU heat input
