Steel Industry Sintering Plant Dioxin Control and Emission Standards Article 2

Terms and symbols used in these Standards are defined as follows:I."Dioxin" means polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans.II."I-TEF" means the International Toxicity Equivalency Factor used internationally to calculate the toxicity weighting of dioxin concentrations.III."TEQ" (Toxicity Equivalency Quantity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin) means the method of calculating the toxicity weighting of dioxin concentrations.IV."Newly established sintering plant" means a sintering plant that was established on or after the date of promulgation of these Standards.V."Existing sintering plant" means a sintering plant that is already constructed or that is in the process of being constructed, for which project tender procedures have been completed, or if no tenders were invited, for which project contracts were issued and signed before the date of promulgation of these Standards. However, a sintering plant for which the dioxin emissions has increased by more than 10% of the annual allowable emissions as set forth in the operating permit due to the replacement or enlargement of relevant equipment shall be deemed a newly established sintering plant.
