Boiler MACT - Implications for the Pulp and Paper Industry

摘要

EPA has handed-down its final, final version of the new Boiler MACT standards, and although the new rules may not be perfect, the clock is ticking for the industry to bring its boilers into compliance. The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters, or, as it's more commonly referred to as, Boiler MACT (Boiler Maximum Achievable Control Technology), was first finalized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in February of 2004.
