Negative Pressure System Testing

The owner or operator of a source subject to the requirements of OAC 3745-71-06(A)(6) shall perform smoke testing of outside openings to the building enclosure containing materials storage, materials handling, rotary furnaces and refining operations on a monthly basis.

(1) The owner or operator shall determine the effectiveness of the negative pressure system by testing various outside and inside openings leading to the emission areas within the building enclosure. Testing locations shall include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

(a) Flashings around ventilation ducts extending through the roof of the building,

(b) Cracks in walls,

(c) Openings around closed overhead doors,

(d) Air flow direction when outside man-doors are opened in the building enclosure, and

(e) Air flow at man-doors connecting adjacent building structures to the controlled emissions area.

(2) The owner or operator shall conduct the smoke testing with MSA ventilation smoke tubes.

(3) The owner or operator shall record and maintain records of the monthly testing described above on a map of the building enclosure identifying the location of the emission sources. The map shall include a description of the inside and outside openings tested, arrows depicting air flow at each testing point, date and time of the test, weather conditions at the time of the test and process equipment operating and other emission activity occurring at the time of the test.

(4) The owner or operator shall immediately determine the cause of any positive pressure test results, repair the cause and repeat the smoke test described in paragraphs 1 and 2 above as soon as is reasonably possible, after giving consideration to facility and personal safety, and record and maintain the results.
