NR 440.216(12)(j)
(j) The following procedures shall be used for calculating municipal waste combustor unit capacity as defined under
sub. (2):
NR 440.216(12)(j)1.
1. For municipal waste combustor units capable of combusting municipal solid waste continuously for a 24-hour period, municipal waste combustor unit capacity shall be calculated based on 24 hours of operation at the maximum charging rate. The maximum charging rate shall be determined using one of the following as applicable:
NR 440.216(12)(j)1.a.
a. For combustors that are designed based on heat capacity, the maximum charging rate shall be calculated based on the maximum design heat input capacity of the unit and a heating value of 12,800 kilojoules per kilogram for combustors firing refuse-derived fuel and a heating value of 10,500 kilojoules per kilogram for combustors firing municipal solid waste that is not refuse-derived fuel.
NR 440.216(12)(j)1.b.
b. For combustors that are not designed based on heat capacity, the maximum charging rate shall be the maximum design charging rate.
NR 440.216(12)(j)2.
2. For batch feed municipal waste combustor units, municipal waste combustor unit capacity shall be calculated as the maximum design amount of municipal solid waste that can be charged per batch multiplied by the maximum number of batches that could be processed in a 24-hour period. The maximum number of batches that could be processed in a 24-hour period is calculated as 24 hours divided by the design number of hours required to process one batch of municipal solid waste, and may include fractional batches, for example, if one batch requires 16 hours, then 24 divided by 16, or 1.5 batches, could be combusted in a 24-hour period. For batch combustors that are designed based on heat capacity, the design heating value of 12,800 kilojoules per kilogram for combustors firing refuse-derived fuel and a heating value of 10,500 kilojoules per kilogram for combustors firing municipal solid waste that is not refuse-derived fuel shall be used in calculating the municipal waste combustor unit capacity in megagrams per day of municipal solid waste.
