Texas Industrial Hazardous Waste Boiler And Industrial Furnace (BIF) Addendum Checklist

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality releases safety requirements and standards for industrial facilities to adhere to. Boilers and industrial furnaces are essential components of many modern solid waste disposal systems. These devices burn industrial waste and trash and are vital components for waste management companies and operators. These facilities are often referred to as waste-to-energy plants, energy recovery facilities, or waste gasification plants. The burning of industrial waste or other waste in an incinerator allows hot water to generate steam in a steam boiler or steam generator and ultimately generate electricity. The Texas Industrial Hazardous Waste Boiler And Industrial Furnace (BIF) Addendum Checklist app lists additional items to waste boiler and industrial furnace checklists which may be valuable to operators, and are categorized into the following sections: Direct Transfer Facilities and Assessment of Residues. The addendum contains regulatory items such as: Is hazardous waste directly transferred as defined under 40 CFR 266.111(a) from a transport vehicle to a boiler industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit? What type of transport containers (e.g tanker truck, tanker trailer, rail tank cars, containers on or in a transport vehicle.) are used? Is the direct transfer equipment provided with a secondary containment? The app is helpful for hazardous waste management program(s) and ensuring adherence to a range of environmental and regulatory requirements. The app stores inspector answers and any citations that require corrective action for each facility reviewed.
