In
general,
process
unit
means
any
collection
of
structures
and/
or
equipment
that
processes,

assembles,
applies,
blends,
or
otherwise
uses
material
inputs
to
produce
or
store
a
product.
A
single
stationary
source
may
contain
more
than
one
process
unit,
and
a
process
unit
may
contain
more
than
one
emissions
unit.

(
B)
Pollution
control
equipment
is
not
part
of
the
process
unit,
unless
it
serves
a
dual
function
as
both
process
and
control
equipment.
Administrative
and
warehousing
facilities
are
not
part
of
the
process
unit.

(
C)
For
replacement
cost
purposes,
components
shared
between
two
or
more
process
units
would
be
proportionately
allocated
based
on
capacity.

(
D)
The
following
list
identifies
the
process
units
at
specific
categories
of
stationary
sources.

(
1)
For
a
steam
electric
generating
facility,
the
process
unit
would
consist
of
those
portions
of
the
plant
that
contribute
directly
to
the
production
of
electricity.

For
example,
at
a
pulverized
coal­
fired
facility,
the
process
unit
would
generally
be
the
combination
of
those
systems
from
the
coal
receiving
equipment
through
the
emission
stack
(
excluding
post­
combustion
pollution
controls),
including
the
coal
handling
equipment,

coal
crushers,
feedwater
heaters,
ash

boiler,

turbine­

set,
air
preheaters,
and
operating
control
systems;
whereas
cooling
towers,
transformers,
and
downstream
electrical
equipment
would
not
be
included
in
the
steam
electric
generating
facility
process
unit.
Each
separate
generating
unit
would
be
considered
a
separate
process
unit.

(
2)
For
a
petroleum
refinery,
there
are
several
categories
of
process
units:
those
that
separate
and
distill
petroleum
feedstocks;
those
that
change
molecular
structures;
petroleum
treating
processes;
auxiliary
facilities,
such
as
boilers
and
hydrogen
production
units;

and
those
that
load,
unload,
blend
or
store
products.

(
3)
For
a
cement
plant,
the
process
unit
would
generally
consist
of
the
kiln
and
equipment
that
supports
it,
including
all
components
that
process
or
store
raw
materials,
preheaters,
and
components
that
process
or
store
products
from
the
kilns,
and
associated
emission
stacks.

(
4)
For
a
pulp
and
paper
mill,
there
are
several
types
of
process
units.
One
is
the
system
that
processes
wood
products,
another
is
the
digester
and
its
associated
heat
exchanger,
blow
tank,
pulp
filter,
accumulator,
and
oxidation
tower.
A
third
is
the
chemical
recovery
system,

which
includes
the
recovery
furnace,
evaporators,
lime
kiln,

storage
vessels,
and
associated
oxidation
processes
feeding
regenerated
chemicals
to
the
digester.
A
fourth
is
the
power
boiler.

(
5)
For
an
incinerator,
the
process
unit
would
consist
of
components
from
the
feed
pit
or
refuse
pit
to
the
stack,

including
conveyors,
combustion
devices,
heat
exchangers
and
steam
generators,
quench
tanks,
and
fans.

(

Functionally
equivalent
replacement
means
a
part
that
serves
the
same
function
as
an
original
part
of
a
process
unit.

(

Fixed
capital
cost
means
the
capital
needed
to
provide
all
the
depreciable
components.
"
Depreciable
components"
refers
to
all
components
of
fixed
capital
cost
and
is
calculated
by
subtracting
land
and
working
capital
from
the
total
capital
investment,
as
defined
in
paragraph
(
a)(

xlvi)
of
this
section.

(

Total

means
the
sum
of
the
following:
all

(

In

means
any
collection
of

that

otherwise
uses
material
inputs
to

or

product.
A
single
stationary
source
may
contain
more
than
one
process
unit,
and
a
process
unit
may
contain
more
than
one
emissions
unit.

(
ii)
Pollution
control
equipment
is
not
part
of
the
process
unit,
unless
it
serves
a
dual
function
as
both
process
and
control
equipment.
Administrative
and
warehousing
facilities
are
not
part
of
the
process
unit.

(
iii)
For
replacement
cost
purposes,
components
shared
between
two
or
more
process
units
would
be
proportionately
allocated
based
on
capacity.

(
iv)
The
following
list
identifies
the
process
units
at
specific
categories
of
stationary
sources.

(
a)
For
a
steam
electric
generating
facility,
the
process
unit
would
consist
of
those
portions
of
the
plant
that
contribute
directly
to
the
production
of
electricity.

For
example,
at
a
pulverized
coal­
fired
facility,
the
process
unit
would
generally
be
the
combination
of
those
systems
from
the
coal
receiving
equipment
through
the
emission
stack
(
excluding
post­
combustion
pollution
controls),
including
the
coal
handling
equipment,

pulverizers
or
coal
crushers,
feedwater
heaters,
ash
handling,
boiler,
burners,
turbine­
generator
set,

preheaters,
and
operating
control
systems;
whereas
cooling
towers,
transformers,
and
downstream
electrical
equipment
would
not
be
included
in
the
steam
electric
generating
facility
process
unit.
Each
separate
generating
unit
would
be
considered
a
separate
process
unit.
Components
shared
between
two
or
more
process
units
would
be
proportionately
allocated
based
on
capacity.

(
b)
For
a
petroleum
refinery,
there
are
several
categories
of
process
units:
those
that
separate
and
distill
petroleum
feedstocks;
those
that
change
molecular
structures;
petroleum
treating
processes;
auxiliary
facilities,
such
as
boilers
and
hydrogen
production
units;

and
those
that
load,
unload,
blend
or
store
products.

(
c)
For
a
cement
plant,
the
process
unit
would
generally
consist
of
the
kiln
and
equipment
that
supports
it,
including
all
components
that
process
or
store
raw
materials,
preheaters,
and
components
that
process
or
store
products
from
the
kilns,
and
associated
emission
stacks.

(
d)
For
a
pulp
and
paper
mill,
there
are
several
types
of
process
units.
One
is
the
system
that
processes
wood
products,
another
is
the
digester
and
its
associated
heat
exchanger,
blow
tank,
pulp
filter,
accumulator,
and
oxidation
tower.
A
third
is
the
chemical
recovery
system,

which
includes
the
recovery
furnace,
evaporators,
lime
kiln,

storage
vessels,
and
associated
oxidation
processes
feeding
regenerated
chemicals
to
the
digester.
A
fourth
is
the
power
boiler.

(
e)
For
an
incinerator,
the
process
unit
would
consist
of
components
from
the
feed
pit
or
refuse
pit
to
the
stack,

including
conveyors,
combustion
devices,
heat
exchangers
and
steam
generators,
quench
tanks,
and
fans.

(
56)
Functionally
equivalent
replacement
means
a
part
that
serves
the
same
function
as
an
original
part
of
a
process
unit.

(
57)
Fixed
capital
cost
means
the
capital
needed
to
provide
all
the
depreciable
components.
"
Depreciable
components"
refers
to
all
components
of
fixed
capital
cost
and
is
calculated
by
subtracting
land
and
working
capital
from
the
total
capital
investment,
as
defined
in
paragraph
(
b)(
58)
of
this
section.

(
58)
Total
capital
investment
means
the
sum
of
the
following:
all
costs
required
to
purchase
needed
process
equipment
(
purchased
equipment
costs);
the
costs
of
labor
and
materials
for
installing
that
equipment
(
direct
installation
costs);
the
costs
of
site
preparation
and
buildings;
other
costs
