A burnout oven is an enclosed insulated oven that has an exposed heating element. Products are put in the oven to clean or cure a product. The most common burnout oven is a brick kiln. Burnout ovens produce emissions by heating products that release VOCs at high temperatures.
Who Needs a Permit?
A permit is required for all burnout ovens with a rated heat input capacity of 1 million BTU per hour or greater or that are not fired exclusively on purchased quality natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, or any combination thereof.
Each burnout oven will be permitted individually if rated at 1 million BTU per hour or greater.
A permit is required if the aggregate rated heat input capacity of all burnout ovens used in the same process is 1 million BTU per hour or greater.
