LAC 33:III.2123. Organic Solvents

A. Except as provided in Subsections B and C of this Section, any emissions source using organic solvents having an emission of volatile organic compounds resulting from the application of surface coatings equal to or more than 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) per day, or an equivalent level of 2.7 tons per 12-month rolling period, shall control emissions of volatile organic compounds through the use of low solvent coatings, as provided in Subsection C of this Section, or, where feasible, by incorporating one or more of the following control methods: 1. incineration, provided 90 percent of the carbon in the organic compounds being incinerated is oxidized to carbon dioxide (except as provided in Subsection D of this Section); 2. carbon adsorption, with a control efficiency of at least 90 percent, of the organic compounds; 3. any other equivalent means as may be approved by the administrative authority. Once a source exceeds the emission cutoff specified in this Section that source shall be subject and shall remain subject to the requirements of this Subsection regardless of future emission rates. B. Soldering operations, painting and coating operations not listed in Subsection C of this Section, and dry cleaning operations using organic solvents that are not considered photochemically reactive shall be considered for exemption from the requirements of this Section. 1. For the purposes of this Subsection, a photochemically reactive solvent is any solvent with an aggregate of more than 20 percent of its total volume composed of the chemical compounds classified below or which exceeds any of the following individual percentage composition limitations, referred to the total volume of solvent: a. a combination of hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ethers, or ketones having an olefinic or cycloolefinic type of unsaturation: 5 percent; b. a combination of aromatic compounds with eight or more carbon atoms to the molecule except ethylbenzene: 8 percent; c. a combination of ethylbenzene, ketones having branched hydrocarbon structures, trichloroethylene or toluene: 20 percent. 2. Whenever any organic solvent or any constituent of an organic solvent may be classified from its chemical structure into more than one of the above groups of organic compounds, it shall be considered as a member of the most reactive chemical group, that is, that group having the least allowable percent of the total volume of solvents. C. Surface Coating Industries. No person may cause, suffer, allow, or permit volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the surface coating of any materials affected by this Subsection to exceed the emission limits as specified in this Section.

Control Techniques 1. If add-on controls such as incinerators or vapor recovery systems are used to comply with the emission limitation requirements, in terms of pounds per gallon of solids as applied (determined in accordance with Paragraph D.8 of this Section), the volatile organic compound capture and abatement system shall be at least 80 percent efficient overall (85 percent for industrial cleaning solvents, and miscellaneous industrial adhesive operations; and 90 percent for factory surface coating of flat wood paneling, surface coating of metal furniture, large appliance coating, surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products, surface coating of miscellaneous plastic parts and products, surface coating of automotive/transportation plastic parts, surface coating of business machine plastic parts, surface coating of pleasure craft, surface coating of paper, film, foil, pressure-sensitive tape, and labels, and surface coating of motor vehicle materials). All surface coating facilities shall submit to the Office of Environmental Services, for approval, design data for each capture system and emission control device that is proposed for use. The effectiveness of the capture system (i.e., capture efficiency) shall be determined using the procedure specified in Paragraph E.6 of this Section. 2. If a person wishes to use low solvent technology to meet any of the emission limits specified in Subsection C of this Section and if the technology to be used for any particular application is not now proven but is expected to be proven in a reasonable length of time, he may request a compliance date extension from the administrative authority*. Compliance date extensions will require progress reports every 90 days, or as directed, to show reasonable progress, as determined by the administrative authority, toward technology to meet the specified emission limitation. 3. Compliance will be determined by the procedure specified in "Control of Volatile Organic Emissions for Existing Stationary Sources. Vol 2-Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabric, Autos and Lt. Duty Trucks", (EPA 450/2-77-008), the procedures specified in "Measurement of Volatile Organic Compounds" (EPA-450/2-78-041), a method approved by the administrative authority or certification from the paint manufacturer concerning the solvent makeup of the paint. Exempt solvents shall be treated the same as water in calculating the VOC content per gallon of coating. Exempt solvents are those compounds listed in LAC 33:III.2117. 4. Compliance with the emission limits established in Table 1, Item 16 of Subsection C of this Section shall be determined in accordance with EPA's "Protocol for Determining the Daily Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate of Automobile and Light Duty Truck Topcoat Operations", EPA 453/R-08-002, September, 2008. 5. A plant wide emission reduction plan may be approved by the administrative authority* if it can be demonstrated by the surface coating facility that any emissions in excess of those allowed for a given coating line will be compensated for by reducing emissions from regulated sources within the surface coating facility. 6. Surface coating facilities on any property in Ascension, Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, and West Baton Rouge parishes that when controlled have a potential to emit, at maximum production, a combined weight (total from the property) of VOCs less than 10 tons in any consecutive 12 calendar months are exempt from the provisions of Subsection C of this Section. Surface coating facilities on any property in parishes other than Ascension, Calcasieu, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, Pointe Coupee, and West Baton Rouge that when uncontrolled have a potential to emit a combined weight of VOCs less than 100 pounds (45 kilograms) in any consecutive 24-hour period or 10 tons in any consecutive 12 calendar months are exempt from the provisions of Subsection C of this Section. Any surface coating facility with VOC emissions of less than or equal to 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) per day is exempt from the provisions of Table 1, Items 1, 7, and 15 of Subsection C of this Section. 7. Soldering and surface coating facilities or portions thereof, may request from the administrative authority* exemption from the requirements of Subsection C of this Section if all of the following conditions are met: a. the affected portion of the facility will not emit 25 tons per year (TPY) or more of VOC if the facility is located in the parish of Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston, or West Baton Rouge, or 50 TPY or more of VOC if located in any other parish; b. that the only practical means of VOC control is thermal oxidization; c. that the substance to be emitted is not toxic; d. that the moles of fuel used would exceed the moles of VOC destroyed; e. that the reasonable control of the VOC would result in a net increase of emissions from the facility; f. the exemption will be described in detail in the Compliance Orders, under Section 110a.(3) of the Federal Clean Air Act, adopted by the administrative authority*. 8. Compliance with an emission limit specified under Subsection C of this Section may be demonstrated, in terms of pounds per gallon solids as applied, based upon the daily weighted average of a coating type within a single coating line. The equivalent emission limit in terms of pounds per gallon solids as applied (Es) shall be determined using the following calculation. Vs = (1 - Ec/Ds) Es = Ec/Vs Ds = 7.36 pounds volatile organic compound per gallon volatile organic compound (i.e., density of reference solvent) Ec = Emission limit found in Subsection C. of this Section, in terms of pounds per gallon of coating (less water and exempt solvents) Es = Emission limit equivalent to Ec, but in terms of pounds per gallon solids as applied Vs = Gallon solids per gallon coating (less water and exempt solvents) 9. If improved transfer efficiency application equipment is used to comply with the emission limitations in terms of pounds per gallon solids deposited, the improved transfer efficiency equipment shall be tested following procedures approved in advance by the administrative authority* and consistent with those transfer efficiency testing procedures specified in Paragraph E.5 of this Section. The applicable emission limit shall be calculated using the transfer efficiency baseline established by the administrative authority* and compliance shall be determined following a calculation procedure also approved by the administrative authority*. 10. Control techniques for use of industrial cleaning solvents include: a. covering open containers and used applicators; b. minimizing air circulation around cleaning operations; c. properly disposing of used solvent and shop towels; d. implementing equipment practices that minimize emissions (e.g., keeping arts cleaners covered, maintaining cleaning equipment to repair solvent leaks, etc.); and e. employing cleaning material with a VOC content limit of 50 grams VOC per liter (0.42 lb./gal.), or a composite vapor pressure of 8 millimeters of mercury at 20 degrees Celsius. 11. Cleaning operations in the course of the following categories are excluded from the requirements of Paragraph D.10 of this Section: a. aerospace coating; b. wood furniture coating; c. application of coatings in shipbuilding and ship repair; d. flexible packaging printing; e. lithographic printing; f. letterpress printing; g. flat wood paneling coating; h. large appliance coating; i. metal furniture coating; j. paper, film and foil coating; k. plastic parts coating; l. miscellaneous metals parts coating; m. fiberglass boat manufacturing; n. application of miscellaneous industrial adhesives; and o. auto and light-duty truck assembly coating. 12.

VOC cleaning solvents for routine application equipment cleaning shall contain no more than 5 percent VOC by weight, or have a composite vapor pressure of no more than 0.50 millimeters of mercury at 20 degrees Celsius. b. Non-VOC solvents shall be used to remove cured resin and gel coat from application equipment. 13. When applying adhesives, one of the following application methods must be used: a. electrostatic spray; b. HVLP spray; c. flow coat; d. roll coat or hand application, including non-spray application methods similar to hand application or mechanically powered caulking gun, brush, or direct hand application; e. dip coat (including electrodeposition); f. airless spray; g. air-assisted airless spray; and h. other adhesive application methods capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent to or better than that achieved by HVLP spraying.
