58. (Replaced, O.C. 501-2011)Cast-iron producing cupolas: A cupola used for the production of cast-iron shall not emit into the atmosphere:
(a)  more than 12 kg of particulate matter per hour in the case of an existing cupola producing cast-iron at a melting rate of between 3 and 10 tonnes per hour;
(b)  more particulate matter than prescribed in the following table in the case of an existing cupola producing cast-iron at a melting rate of 10 tonnes per hour or more:
____________________________________________________

melting rate emission standard
(t/h) (kg/h)


10.0 12
12.5 13.5
15.0 14.5
17.5 15.3
20.0 15.7
22.5 15.8
≥ 25 16
____________________________________________________
The interpolation of the values of this table for intermediate melting rate shall be made linearly;

(c)  more particulate matter than prescribed in the following table, for a new cupola:

The interpolation of the values of this table for intermediate melting rates shall be made linearly;

(d)  more than 1 000 parts per million (in volume in the effluent gases) of carbon monoxide in the case of any cupola used for producing cast iron.
