What is "Best Available Control Technology"?

"Best Available Control Technology" or "BACT" refers to an air emissions limitation based on using the most current, state-of-the-art methods, systems, techniques, and production processes available to achieve the greatest feasible air emissions reductions. These processes also include fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel combustion techniques for control of emissions' pollutant. These are the most stringent requirements for new or modified sources and are determined on a case-by-case basis as part of New Source Review, by the permitting authority, taking into account energy, environmental, economic and other costs of control.. BACT is also specific to a facility and whether it is in an attainment or non-attainment area.

Best Available Control Technology (BACT) Presumption

The EPA proposes to adopt a presumption that, in the case of PSD permits issued by EPA under 40 CFR 52.21, BACT for emissions of nitrogen oxides from coal-fired electric utility steam generating units is the technology required under section 407 of the Clean Air Act. In general, this will call for the use of combustion modification and/or low-NOx burners or similar, cost- effective technologies by those utilities required to obtain PSD permits for NOx emissions.

The proposed presumption is consistent with BACT requirements because it does not purport to relieve the permitting authority of the obligation to weigh the statutory factors in reaching BACT determinations. Rather, it reflects an exercise of policy judgment by the permitting authority that in most cases a BACT analysis of currently demonstrated technologies for retrofitting existing utility boilers would lead to the selection of low NOx burners and/or combustion modifications identified in section 407(b)(1).

Nitrogen Oxides

What are Nitrogen Oxides?

Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, is the generic term for a group of highly reactive gases, all of which contain nitrogen and oxygen in varying amounts. Many of the nitrogen oxides are colorless and odorless. However, one common pollutant, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) along with particles in the air can often be seen as a reddish-brown layer over many urban areas.

Nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned at high temperatures, as in a combustion process. The primary sources of NOx are motor vehicles, electric utilities, and other industrial, commercial, and residential sources that burn fuels.

Motor Vehicles, 49%; Utilities, 27%; Industrial/Commercial/Residential, 19%; All Other Sources, 5%

Reasons for Concern: Nitrogen Oxides

What are Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)

are one of the main ingredients involved in the formation of ground-level ozone, which can trigger serious respiratory problems.
reacts to form nitrate particles, acid aerosols, as well as NO₂, which also cause respiratory problems.
contributes to formation of acid rain.
contributes to nutrient overload that deteriorates water quality.
contributes to atmospheric particles, that cause visibility impairment most noticeable in national parks.
reacts to form toxic chemicals.
contributes to global warming.

NOx and the pollutants formed from NOx can be transported over long distances, following the pattern of prevailing winds in the U.S. This means that problems associated with NOx are not confined to areas where NOx are emitted. Therefore, controlling NOx is often most effective if done from a regional perspective, rather than focusing on sources in one local area.

NOx emissions are increasing.

Since 1970, EPA has tracked emissions of the six principal air pollutants - carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. Emissions of all of these pollutants have decreased significantly except for NOx which has increased approximately 10 percent over this period

How can Nitrogen Oxides be Removed from the Environment?

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a proven and effective method to reduce nitrogen oxides which is an air pollutant associated with the power generation process. Nitrogen oxides are a contributor to ground level ozone.

How does Selective Catalytic Reduction work?

SCR Systems work similar to a catalytic converter used to reduce automobile emissions. Prior to exhaust gases going up the smokestack, they will pass through the SCR System where anhydrous ammonia reacts with nitrogen oxide and converts it to nitrogen and water.
