Emission source Applicability Requirement
Process ventsExisting:
Processes having uncontrolled organic HAP emissions ≥0.15 Mg/yr90% for organic HAP per process or to outlet concentration of ≤20 ppmv TOC.
Processes having uncontrolled HCl and chlorine emissions ≥6.8 Mg/yr94% for HCl and chlorine per process or to outlet HCl and chlorine concentration of ≤20 ppmv.
Individual process vents meeting flow and mass emissions criteria that have gaseous organic HAP emissions controlled to less than 90% on or after November 10, 199798% gaseous organic HAP control per vent or ≤20 ppmv TOC outlet limit.
New:
Processes having uncontrolled organic HAP emissions ≥0.15 Mg/yr98% for organic HAP per process or ≤20 ppmv TOC.
Processes having uncontrolled HCl and chlorine emissions ≥6.8 Mg/yr and <191 Mg/yr94% for HCl and chlorine per process or to outlet concentration of ≤20 ppmv HCl and chlorine.
Processes having uncontrolled HCl and chlorine emissions ≥191 Mg/yr99% for HCl and chlorine per process or to outlet concentration of ≤20 ppmv HCl and chlorine.
Storage vesselsExisting: ≥75 m 3 capacity and vapor pressure ≥3.45 kPaInstall a floating roof, reduce HAP by 95% per vessel, or to outlet concentration of ≤20 ppmv TOC.
New: ≥38 m 3 capacity and vapor pressure ≥16.5 kPaSame as for existing sources.
≥75 m 3 capacity and vapor pressure ≥3.45 kPaSame as for existing sources.
Wastewater aExisting: Process wastewater with ≥10,000 ppmw Table 9 compounds at any flowrate or ≥1,000 ppmw Table 9 compounds at ≥10 L/min, and maintenance wastewater with HAP load ≥5.3 Mg per discharge eventReduce concentration of total Table 9 compounds to <50 ppmw (or other options).
New:
Same criteria as for existing sourcesReduce concentration of total Table 9 compounds to <50 ppmw (or other options).
Total HAP load in wastewater POD streams ≥2,100 Mg/yr.99% reduction of Table 9 compounds from all streams.
Equipment leaksSubpart HSubpart H with minor changes, including monitoring frequencies consistent with the proposed CAR.
Product dryers and bag dumpsDryers used to dry PAI that is also a HAP, and bag dumps used to introduce feedstock that is a solid and a HAPParticulate matter concentration not to exceed 0.01 gr/dscf.
Heat exchange systemsEach heat exchange system used to cool process equipment in PAI manufacturing operationsMonitoring and leak repair program as in HON.
