I have a used (waste) oil furnace. Is it exempt from Env-A 1400?
No. Used oil is not a virgin petroleum product and therefore emissions from its combustion as a fuel are subject to Env-A 1400. However, DES has determined that in most cases emissions from small, used oil furnace installations do comply with the Env-A 1400 requirements. DES has conducted a study of typical recycled oil burner emissions in order to simplify the compliance determination process. The study examined RTAP emissions from typical recycled oil burners using a variety of recycled oil characteristics, fuel use rates, and installation configurations. The results of this study show that recycled oil burners are in compliance with the provisions of Env-A 1400 provided they meet all of the following criteria. • The sum of all units are rated at 500,000 Btu per hour or less heat input; • The sum of all units are rated at 3.6 gallons per hour or less of fuel use; • All units burn 8,640 gallons per year or less of waste oil; • Each exhaust stack is 8 inches or less inside diameter; •
