Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires

Section 215 Section 215.461  Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires The owner or operator of an undertread cementing, treadend cementing or bead dipping operation at a pneumatic rubber tire manufacturing facility shall install and operate: a)         A capture system, with minimum capture efficiency of 65 percent by weight of volatile organic material for treadend cementing or bead dipping operations and a capture system with a minimum capture efficiency of 55.5 percent by weight of volatile organic material for undertread cementing; and b)         A control device that meets the requirements of one of the following: 1)         A carbon adsorption system designed and operated in a manner such that there is at least a 90 percent removal of volatile organic material by weight from the gases ducted to the control device; 2)         An afterburning system that oxidizes at least 90 percent of the captured nonmethane volatile organic materials (VOM measured as total combustible carbon) to carbon dioxide and water; and 3)         An alternative volatile organic material emission reduction system demonstrated to have at least a 90 percent overall reduction efficiency and approved by the Agency.
