Top-Down BACT Analysis for VOC a. Step 1 - Identify All Possible VOC Control Technologies The SJVUAPCD BACT Clearinghouse Guideline 2.1.1 identifies for this soil remediation operation: - Achieved-in-practice BACT: Thermal Oxidizer @ 1400F and 0.5 sec, @ 95% or greater control efficiency. - Achieved-in-practice BACT: Catalytic Oxidizer @ 600F and 0.5 sec, @ 95% or greater control efficiency. - No technologically feasible alternatives are listed. b. Step 2 - Eliminate Technologically Infeasible Options There are no technologically infeasible options listed. c. Step 3 - Rank Remaining Control Technologies by Control Effectiveness - Achieved-in-practice BACT: Thermal Oxidizer @ 1400F and 0.5 sec, @ 95% or greater control efficiency. - Achieved-in-practice BACT: Catalytic Oxidizer @ 600F and 0.5 sec, @ 95% or greater control efficiency. d. Step 4 - Cost Effectiveness Analysis The only control technology alternative in the ranking list from Step 3 has been achieved in practice. Therefore, per SJVUAPCD BACT policy, the cost effectiveness analysis is not required. e. Step 5 - Select BACT The applicant is proposing BACT by the use of a thermal and/or catalytic oxidizer @ 1400F and 600F respectively and 0.5 sec, with a control efficiency of 95% or greater. OR
