As environmental managers are planning for 2018, one thing to plan for is Minnesota’s update to Minn. R. 7011.2300 Standards of Performance for Stationary Internal Combustion Engines (IC engines) according to a November 27, 2017 Trinity Consultants report.
No later than January 31, 2018, owners and operators must not combust fuel in an IC engine with a sulfur dioxide content in excess of 0.0015 lb./MMBtu actual heat input unless an alternative sulfur dioxide emission limit has been proposed to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In order to propose a revised limit, a modeling demonstration and permit amendment application must be submitted.
What this means to you
Effective 1/31/18 Minnesota owners and operators of stationary IC engines must not combust fuel in an IC engine with an SO2 content in excess of 0.0015 lb./MMBtu actual heat input unless an alternative SO2 limit has been proposed to MPCA.
