FF 09 12 02 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:  Area Source Standards for Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing” by U.S. EPA. Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 231, December 3, 2009, 28 p.

EPA is issuing national emission standards for control of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) for the Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing area source category. The final rule establishes emission standards in the form of management practices for volatile HAP, and emission standards in the form of equipment standards for particulate HAP. The emissions standards for new and existing sources are based on EPA’s determination as to what constitutes the generally available control technology or management practices (GACT) for the area source category.

FF 09 12 03 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources:  Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing; Final Rule” by U.S. EPA. Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 230, December 2, 2009, 32 p.

EPA is promulgating national emissions standards for the control of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from the asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing area source category. These final emissions standards for new and existing sources are based upon EPA’s final determination as to what constitutes the generally available control technology or management practices (GACT) for the source category.

FF 09 12 04 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources; Final Rule” by U.S. EPA. Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 208, October 29, 2009, 50 p.

EPA is issuing national emission standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants for nine area source categories in the chemical manufacturing sector:  Agricultural Chemicals and Pesticides Manufacturing, Cyclic Crude and Intermediate Production, Industrial Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, Industrial Organic Chemical Manufacturing, Inorganic Pigments Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing, Plastic Materials and Resins Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical Production, and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing. The standards and associated requirements for the nine area source categories are combined in one subpart. This final rule establishes emission standards in the form of management practices for each chemical manufacturing process unit as well as emission limits for certain subcategories of process vents and storage tanks. The rule also establishes management practices and other emission reduction requirements for subcategories of wastewater systems and heat exchange systems.

FF 09 12 05 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Petroleum Refineries; Final Rule” by U.S. EPA. Federal Register, Vol. 74, No. 207, October 28, 2009, 124 p.

This action amends the national emission standards for petroleum refineries to add maximum achievable control technology standards for heat exchange systems. This action also amends the general provisions cross-reference table and corrects section references.

FF 09 12 06 “Prevent Caking and Unintended Agglomeration” by Greg Mehos, Jenike & Johanson, Inc., Tyngsboro, MA and Scott Clement, Jenike & Johanson, Inc., San Luis Obispo, CA. Chemical Engineering, August 2008, 7 p.

When attacking a powder-caking problem, the key is to use a test method that measures a quantifiable property of the caked material. A fundamental property of any agglomerate is its strength. In the case of intentional agglomeration, this has been traditionally gauged by tensile strength, shear strength, compressive strength, or even using a drop test. In the case of unintentional agglomeration that occurs during bulk storage, a measurement of a material’s cohesive strength is the most useful tool in quantifying its caking potential.
