Bay Area Air Quality Management District - Boiler Requirements




BOMA San Francisco Members:

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) limits the air pollution emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter from industrial, institutional, and commercial boilers, steam generators and process heaters, all of which are collectively known as 'boilers' as well as stationary internal combustion engines (IC Engines). The Air District Inspection Staff will conduct inspections to ensure the equipment is registered or permitted and in compliance with emission standards.

Equipment Registration

Effective January 1, 2011 boilers, steam generators or process heaters with a rated heat input >2 MM BTU/hr to <10 MM BTU/hr must be registered with BAAQMD. Please click on the link below to register this equipment.
