All incinerators installed within the City of Buffalo must conform
to the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, which
are hereby made a part of this Part 1, except as may be herein otherwise
provided:
A.
Spark arrestors. All spark arrestors shall be not greater than one-half-inch
mesh, 12-gauge stainless steel.
B.
Height of a spark arrestor shall be twice the cross-sectional width
or diameter of the inside of the chimney or flue to which it is connected.
The arrestor shall be properly secured.
C.
If deemed necessary due to slow burning or moisture-laden refuse,
a secondary fuel with proper burners or a scrubber or settling chamber
shall be installed before approval of the certificate of inspection.
This shall apply to existing units.
D.
When scrubbers are used, they shall be installed adjacent to the
incinerator.
E.
The operating period shall be from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Special
permission may be granted upon written request and approval.
F.
The certificate of inspection shall state burning hours.
G.
The Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services or his designated
representative shall have the power to seal any incinerator that,
in his opinion, is causing a nuisance or dangerous condition, has
a defective spark arrestor or is operating during nonpermitted hours,
pending a hearing for revocation of a certificate or pending court
action.
[Amended 12-9-2003, effective 12-19-2003]
I.
Positive means of sufficient ventilation for combustion shall come
from outer air by louvers opening in the wall or ducts. Balanced counterweights
or motorized dampers may be installed for idle periods.
J.
Barometric dampers shall be installed on all incinerators and be
so designed as to maintain a low uniform draft in the combustion chamber.
In place of a barometric damper sequence draft, controllers may be
used to maintain a uniform low draft in the combustion chamber at
all times; during operation, no manual damper shall be allowed in
any incinerator or incinerator flue.
No new incinerator shall be installed without obtaining a permit,
nor shall existing ones be altered or changed in design without written
permission and approval.
The fees to be charged for a certificate of inspection for incinerators shall be as provided in Chapter 175, Fees.
The standard of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for
incinerators, Pamphlet No. 82, is hereby made a part of this Part
1, and the same shall be kept on file in the office of the Division
of Fuel Devices.
