Confirming Compliance Status – Calculation
 How do I calculate Potential To Emit or PTE?
 PTE formula
Max emission rate in lbs/hr x 8760 hrs/yr = PTE (tons per year)
2000 lbs/ton
 Use spreadsheet tools at www.sbeap.org/aqrules
14
When is an Air Operating Permit Needed?
 Operating permit required when annual potential to emit (PTE) exceeds
 100 tons or more of VOCs (or other criteria pollutants)
 25 tons or more of any combination of HAPs, or
 10 tons or more of a single HAP
 Depending on your PTE you may trigger different permits
 Class I operating permit
 Class II operating permit (willing to take operating or material limits to maintain
actual emissions below the above limits)
 Class II permit-by-rule regulation




Limit purchase or use of evaporative solvents containing VOCs, HAPs, or both
Materials purchased or used contain less than 90 tons total VOCs
Materials purchased or used contain less than 22.5 tons total combination HAPs
Materials purchased or used contain less than 9 tons total any single HAP
 Refer to www.sbeap.org/publications/solventuser.pdf
 Poll question
15
Air Construction Permits and RACT Rule
 Air Construction Permits – may be needed if adding new
equipment
 RACT rule – special rule for Kansas City area industries, like
printers that use solvents to clean metals
 Limits the vapor pressure to 1 mm Hg at 68 degrees F for all solvents used
or sold for cold-cleaning
 Applies to all printers except certain Class I facilities that may already be
under stricter rules
 SBEAP resource at
http://www.sbeap.org/publications/smell_of_success.pdf
 Poll question
16
Waste Management
 Determine which of your wastes are hazardous, and document how
determination made (e.g., process knowledge or laboratory
analysis)
 Follow four steps outlined in the guidance document found at
www.kdheks.gov/waste/techguide/hw-2011-G1.pdf
 Maintain on file
 Update annually

Waste Management – Rags
 Disposable rags
 Rags contaminated with characteristic- or listed-solvents cannot be air
dried before putting in a container
 Properly label hazardous waste storage drums “Hazardous Waste”
 D001 or F003 rags that contain no “free liquid” are not hazardous waste
 http://www.kdheks.gov/waste/techguide/HW-1995-G2.pdf
 Commercially laundered
 Spent cleaning rags laundered at a commercial facility do not count
towards monthly hazardous waste generation rate
 Manage spent cleaning rags in closed-lid container labeled “Used Rags for
Recycle”
 Non-hazardous waste disposal and recycling
 Poll question
19
Wastewater and Stormwater
 Spent fixer management
 Silver recovery for recycle or reuse
 Discharge industrial process wastewater only with permission




Local sewer plant or publically-owned treatment works (POTW)
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from KDHE
Do not discharge to septic tank system
May require on-site pretreatment before discharge
 File Notice of Intent (NOI) for stormwater runoff
 May need spill prevention control and countermeasure (SPCC) plan
20
Pollution Prevention Opportunities
 Explore alternative press cleaning methods, materials, and timing
 Find a blanket wash alternative with lower vapor pressure
 Consider an automatic blanket cleaner retrofit for presses
 Establish an inventory control system to track solvent use
 Use roller wash-up blades and ink blades to remove residual ink
 Improve operating practices for efficient press cleaning
 Use plunger-can solvent dispensers to control amount of solvent
 Eliminate open buckets of cleaning solvent at presses
21
Reducing Solvent Emissions
 Change the material
 Use less hazardous materials (characteristic and quantity)
 Change the practice
 Operating and maintenance procedures
 Management practices
 Waste stream segregation
 Production scheduling
 Inventory control
 Personnel training
 Change the technology
 Layout changes to improve workflow
 Increased automation
 Improved operating conditions
