SECTION XI
EFFLUENT QUALITY ATTAINABLE THROUGH THE
APPLICATION OF NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
INTRODUCTION
The effluent limitations that must be achieved by new
sources are termed new source performance standards. New
Source Performance Standards apply to any source for which
construction starts after the promulgation and publication
of the standards. The standards are determined by adding to
the considerations underlying the identification of the Best
Practicable Control Technology Currently Available, a
determination of what higher levels of pollution control are
available through the use of improved production processes,
and/or treatment techniques. Thus, in addition to
considering the best in-plant and end-of-process control
technology. New Source Performance Standards are based on an
analysis of how the level of effluent may be reduced by
changing the production process itself. Alternative
processes, operating methods, or other alternatives are
considered. However, the end result of the analysis is to
identify effluent limitations which reflect levels of
control achievable through the use of improved production
processes and practices (as well as control technology)
rather than prescribing a particular type of process or
technology which must be employed. A further determination
is made whether a limitation permitting no discharge of
pollutants is practicable. For purposes of developing the
BPCTCA and BATEA technologies and limitations, the industry
was divided into the following subcategories:
G. Basic Oxygen Furnace (Wet Air Pollution Control Methods)
K. Vacuum Degassing
L. Continuous Casting and Pressure Slab Molding
M. Hot Forming - Primary
N. Hot Forming - Section
O. Hot Forming - Flat
P. Pipe and Tubes
Q. Pickling - Sulfuric Acid - Batch and Continuous
R. Pickling - Hydrochloric Acid
S. Cold Rolling
T. Hot Coating - Galvanizing
U. Hot coating - Terne
V. Miscellaneous Runoffs
W. Pickling - Combination Acid-Batch and Continuous
X. Scale Removal - Kolene and Hydride
Y. Wire Pickling and Coating
773
-------
Z. Continuous Alkaline Cleaning
With the exception of the Hot Coating - Galvanizing and
Terne subcategories and the absorber vent scrubber on the
hydrochloric acid subcategory, there are carbon steel plants
in all other categories which are presently achieving the
BATEA effluent limitation guidelines. This in itself
justifies the fact that technology is available and
demonstrates that the limitations can be achieved on a day
by day basis. Therefore, in those subcategories where an
existing facility is currently achieving the BATEA guideline
BADCT is the same as BATEA and the New Source Performance
Standards are the same as for BATEA. In the subcategories
apart from these the flow basis corresponds with the BPCTCA
technology but with the BATEA concentrations.
NSPS DISCHARGE STANDARD
For the following subcategories, refer to rationale as
discussed in Section X - BATEA.
G. Basic Oxygen Furnace (Wet Air Pollution Control Methods)
K. Vacuum Degassing
L. Continuous Casting and Pressure Slab Molding
N. Hot Forming Section
O. Hot Forming Flat
P. Pipe and Tubes
Q. Pickling - Sulfuric Acid - Batch
R. Pickling - Hydrochloric Acid (if spent liquor is
neutralized)
S. Cold Rolling
V. Miscellaneous Runoffs
W. Pickling - Combination Acid-Batch and Continuous
X. Scale Removal - Kolene and Hydride
Y. Wire Pickling and Coating
Z. Alkaline Cleaning
For the remaining subcategories:
M. Hot Forming Primary
The New Source Performance Standards are based on the
performance of the best carbon steel plant operating today.
Using direct transfer of technology, the guidelines for this
category were scaled up to reflect the higher water use rate
for alloy operations to arrive at the New Source Performance
Standards for alloy plants.
R. Pickling - Hydrochloric Acid
(B) Absorber Vent Scrubber
774
-------
If acid regeneration is used the NSPS limitations are based
on the BATEA treatment technology (and concentrations) and
on the BPCTCA waste volume; i.e., recycle of the
regeneration unit acid absorber vent scrubber water is not a
basis for the NSPS limitation. Thus with acid regeneration,
the NSPS limitations are based on a flow of 833 1/kkg (100
gal/1000 Ibs) as in BPCTCA limitations. The recommended
recycle of scrubber water is BATEA technology which has not
been practiced as yet on an actual operating acid recovery
unit although one surveyed plant is modifying their system
to accomplish this. For this reason, the NSPS limitations
were based on once-through discharge of the treated scrubber
waters. For rinse water flows, and for fume hood scrubber
flows, the NSPS limitations are the same as the BATEA
limitations.
T. Hot Coating - Galvanizing
U. Hot Coating - Terne
New source performance standards (NSPS) for these
subcategories use the same flow basis as the effluent
limitations for BPCTCA. As yet, neither recommended BATEA
flow reduction technique has been applied to full scale
galvanizing operations, although they are used successfully
in pickling operations and in gas scrubbing systems in iron
and steel furnace operations. However, all parts of the
end-of-process treatment technologies are currently in use
at existing plants in this subcategory. BATEA concentration
limits were therefore used to establish loads, even though
BPCTCA flows had to be used.

SECTION XIV
GLOSSARY
Acid Furnace. A furnace lined with acid brick as contrasted
to one lined with basic brick. In this instance the terms
acid and basic are in the same relationship as the acid
anhydride and basic anhydride that are found in aqueous
chemistry. The irost common acid brick is silica brick or
chrome brick.
Air Cooled Slag. Slag which is cooled slowly in large pits
in the ground. Light water sprays are generally used to
accelerate the cooling over that which would occur in air
alone. The finished slag is generally gray in color and
looks like a sponge.
Alloying Materials. Additives to steelmaking processes
producing alloy steel.
Annealing. A process for producing certain physical
properties in steel. The process consists of raising the
temperature of the steel to a pre-established level and then
slowly cooling the steel at a prescribed rate.
Alkaline Chlorination. The oxidation of undesirable
substances with chlorine under alkaline conditions.
Alkaline Cleaning. A process for cleaning steel where
mineral and animal fats and oils must be removed from the
surface. Solutions at high temperatures containing caustic
soda, soda ash, alkaline silicates, and alkaline phosphates
are commonly used.
Apron Rolls. Rolls used in the casting strand for keeping
cast products aligned.
Bar. A long, thin, relatively stiff steel shape. Bar is
produced by rolling from billets. It can be round, square,
hexagonal, or rectangular in shape. It is generally handled
straight in cut lengths of 20 or more feet long as
contrasted by rod (which may be larger in diameter than some
bars) which is coiled in lengths of several hundred feet.
Basic Brick. A brick made of a material which is a basic
anhydride such as MgO or mixed MgO plus CaO. See acid
furnace.
803
-------
Basic Furnace. A furnace in which the refractory material
is composed of dolomite or magnesite.

carried out in a basic lined furnace which is shaped like a
pear. High pressure oxygen is blown vertically downward on
the surface of the molten iron through a water cooled lance.

rolled from a bloom. While billets are usually smaller than
blooms, all billets are not necessarily smaller than all
blooms. Blooms are rolled from ingots, while billets are
rolled from blooms.

rolling blooms to billets.
Black Plate. A steel generally used in the manufacture of
containers. It is similar to tin-plate except that it is

sectional area that is square or slightly oblong and not
less than 36 sq. in., that has been rolled or forged from an

Briquette. An agglomeration of steel plant waste material
of sufficient strength to be a satisfactory blast furnace
charge.
Carbon Steel. Steel which owes its properties chiefly to
various percentages of carbon without substantial amounts of
other alloying elements. Steel is classified as carbon
steel when no minimum content of elements other than carbon
is specified or required to obtain a desired alloying
effect.
Charge. The minimum combination of skip or bucket loads of
material which together provide the balanced complement
necessary to produce hot metal of the desired specification.
