NR 440.705(1)(a)(a) This section applies to each affected facility designated in par. (b) that is part of a process unit that produces any of the chemicals listed in sub. (8) as a product, co-product, by-product or intermediate except as provided in par. (c).
NR 440.705(1)(b)(b) The affected facility is any of the following for which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after June 29, 1990:
NR 440.705(1)(b)1.1. Each reactor process not discharging its vent stream into a recovery system.
NR 440.705(1)(b)2.2. Each combination of a reactor process and the recovery system into which its vent stream is discharged.
NR 440.705(1)(b)3.3. Each combination of 2 or more reactor processes and the common recovery system into which their vent streams are discharged.
NR 440.705(1)(c)(c) Exemptions from the provisions of par. (a) are as follows:
NR 440.705(1)(c)1.1. Any reactor process that is designed and operated as a batch operation is not an affected facility.
NR 440.705(1)(c)2.2. Each affected facility that has a total resource effectiveness (TRE) index value greater than 8.0 is exempt from all provisions of this section except for subs. (3) (c), (5) (d), (e) and (f) and (6) (g), (L) 1. and 6. and (t).
NR 440.705(1)(c)3.3. Each affected facility in a process unit with a total design capacity for all chemicals produced within that unit of less than one gigagram per year (1,100 tons per year) is exempt from all provisions of this section except for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in sub. (6) (i), (L) 5. and (n).
NR 440.705(1)(c)4.4. Each affected facility operated with a vent stream flow rate less than 0.011 scm/min is exempt from all provisions of this section except for the test method and procedure and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in subs. (5) (g) and (6) (h), (L) 4. and (o).
NR 440.705(1)(c)5.5. If the vent stream from an affected facility is routed to a distillation unit subject to s. NR 440.686 and has no other releases to the air except for a pressure relief valve, the facility is exempt from all provisions of this section except for sub. (6) (r).
NR 440.705(1)(c)6.6. Any reactor process operating as part of a process unit which produces beverage alcohols or which uses, contains and produces no VOC is not an affected facility.

NR 440.705 NoteNote: The intent of these standards is to minimize emissions of VOC through the application of best demonstrated technology (BDT). The numerical emission limits in these standards are expressed in terms of TOC, measured as TOC less methane and ethane. This emission limit reflects the performance of BDT.
