A)        The applicable test methods and procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) must be used; provided, however, Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section 219.112, must be used to demonstrate compliance; or

 

B)        The manufacturer's specifications for VOM content for cleaning solvents may be used if such manufacturer's specifications are based on results of tests of the VOM content conducted in accordance with methods specified in Section 219.105(a); provided, however, Method 24 must be used to determine compliance.  In the event of any inconsistency between a Method 24 test and the manufacturer's specifications, the Method 24 test must govern;

 

3)         Testing to determine the VOM composite partial vapor pressure of cleaning solvents, cleaning solvent concentrates, and as-used cleaning solutions must be conducted in accordance with the applicable methods and procedures specified in Section 219.110;

 

4)         For afterburners and carbon adsorbers, the methods and procedures of Section 219.105(d) through (f) must be used for testing to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of subsection (b)(3), as follows:

 

A)        To select the sampling sites, Method 1 or 1A, as appropriate, 40 CFR 60, appendix A, incorporated by reference in Section 219.112;

i)          The allowable outlet concentration of VOM from the emissions control system is less than 50 ppmv, as carbon;

 

ii)         The VOM concentration at the inlet of the emissions control system and the required level of control result in exhaust concentrations of VOM of 50 ppmv, or less, as carbon; and

 

iii)        Due to the high efficiency of the emissions control system, the anticipated VOM concentration at the emissions control system exhaust is 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, regardless of inlet concentration.  If the source elects to use Method 25A under this option, the exhaust VOM concentration must be 50 ppmv or less, as carbon, and the required destruction efficiency must be met for the source to have demonstrated compliance.  If the Method 25A test results show that the required destruction efficiency apparently has been met, but the exhaust concentration is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, a retest is required.  The retest must be conducted using either Method 25 or Method 25A.  If the retest is conducted using Method 25A and the test results again show that the required destruction efficiency apparently has been met, but the exhaust concentration is above 50 ppmv, as carbon, the source must retest using Method 25;

 

D)        During testing, the cleaning equipment must be operated at representative operating conditions and flow rates;

 

5)         An owner or operator using an emissions control system other than an afterburner or carbon adsorber must conduct testing to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of subsection (b)(3) as stated in the owner's or operator's plan approved by the Agency and USEPA as federally enforceable permit conditions under subsection (b)(3).

Section 219.207  Alternative Emission Limitations

 

a)         Any owner or operator of a coating line subject to Section 219.204, except coating lines subject to Section 219.204(q)(6), may comply with this Section, rather than with Section 219.204, if a capture system and control device are operated at all times the coating line is in operation and the owner or operator demonstrates compliance with subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), or (n) (depending upon the source category) through the applicable coating analysis and capture system and control device efficiency test methods and procedures specified in Section 219.105 and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(e); and the control device is equipped with the applicable monitoring equipment specified in Section 219.105(d) and the monitoring equipment is installed, calibrated, operated and maintained according to vendor specifications at all times the control device is in use. A capture system and control device, which does not demonstrate compliance with subsection (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), or (n) may be used as an alternative to compliance with Section 219.204 only if the alternative is approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision.

 

b)         Alternative Add-On Control Methodologies

 

1)         The coating line is equipped with a capture system and control device that provides 81 percent reduction in the overall emissions of VOM from the coating line and the control device has a 90 percent efficiency; or

 

2)         The system used to control VOM from the coating line is demonstrated to have an overall efficiency sufficient to limit VOM emissions to no more than what is allowed under Section 219.204. Use of any control system other than an afterburner, carbon adsorption, condensation, or absorption scrubber system can be allowed only if approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. The use of transfer efficiency credits can be allowed only if approved by the Agency and approved by the USEPA as a SIP revision. Baseline transfer efficiencies and transfer efficiency test methods must be approved by the Agency and the USEPA. Such overall efficiency is to be determined as follows:

 

A)        Obtain the emission limitation from the appropriate subsection in Section 219.204;

 

B)        Unless complying with an emission limitation in Section 219.204 that is already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of solids, calculate "S" according to the equation in Section 219.206.  For coating lines subject to an emission limitation in Section 219.204 that is already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of solids, "S" is equal to such emission limitation;

 

C)        Calculate the overall efficiency required according to Section 219.105(e). For the purposes of calculating this value, according to the equation in Section 219.105(e)(2), VOM₁ is equal to the value of "S" as determined in subsection (b)(2)(B). If the coating line is subject to an emission limitation in Section 219.204 that is already expressed in terms of weight of VOM per volume of solids, VOM₁ is equal to that emission limitation.

 

c)         An owner or operator of a coating line subject to only one of the emission limitations from among Section 219.204(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(D), (a)(2)(A),(a)(2)(E), (a)(2)(F), (c)(1), (d), (e), (f), or (i) and equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the subject coating line unless the requirements in subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) are met. An owner or operator of a coating line subject to Section 219.204(a)(1)(B), (a)(1)(C), (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), or (a)(2)(D) and equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the coating line unless the owner or operator demonstrates compliance with such limitation in accordance with the topcoat protocol referenced in Section 219.105(b)(1)(A) or (b)(1)(B), as applicable.

 

d)         An owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal parts and products coating line that applies one or more coatings during the same day, all of which are subject to the same numerical emission limitation within Section 219.204(j) (e.g., all coatings used on the line are subject to 0.42 kg/l (3.5 lbs/gal)), and that is equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the subject coating line unless the requirements in subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) are met.

 

e)         An owner or operator of a heavy off-highway vehicle products coating line that applies one or more coatings during the same day, all of which are subject to the same numerical emission limitation within Section 219.204(k) (e.g., all coatings used on the line are subject to 0.42 kg/l (3.5 lbs/gal)), and that is equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the subject coating line unless the requirements in subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) are met.

 

f)         An owner or operator of a wood furniture coating line that applies one or more coatings during the same day, all of which are subject to the same numerical emission limitation within Section 219.204(l) (e.g., all coatings used on the line are subject to 0.67 kg/l (5.6 lbs/gal)), and that is equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the subject coating line unless the requirements in subsection (b)(1) or (b)(2) are met. If compliance is achieved by meeting the requirements in subsection (b)(2), then the provisions in the note to Section 219.204(l) must also be met.

 

g)         An owner or operator of a can coating line equipped with a capture system and control device must not operate the subject coating line unless the requirements in subsection (g)(1) or (g)(2) are met.

 

1)         An alternative daily emission limitation for the can coating operation, i.e., for all of the can coating lines at the source, must be determined according to Section 219.205(c)(2). Actual daily emissions must not exceed the alternative daily emission limitation and must be calculated by use of the following equation:

 



 

where:

 

Ed	=	Actual VOM emissions for the day in units of kg/day (lbs/day);
i	=	Subscript denoting the specific coating applied;
n	=	Total number of surface coatings as applied in the can coating operation;
Vi	=	Volume of each coating as applied for the day in units of l/day (gal/day) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM);
Ci	=	The VOM content of each coating as applied in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM); and
Fi	=	Fraction, by weight, of VOM emissions from the surface coating, reduced or prevented from being emitted to the ambient air. This is the overall efficiency of the capture system and control device.

 

2)         The coating line is equipped with a capture system and control device that provide 75 percent reduction in the overall emissions of VOM from the coating line and the control device has a 90 percent efficiency.

Section 219.208  Exemptions From Emission Limitations

 

a)         Exemptions for all coating categories except wood furniture coating and aerospace facilities. The limitations of this Subpart do not apply to coating lines within a source, that otherwise would be subject to the same subsection of Section 219.204 (because they belong to the same coating category, e.g., can coating), provided that combined actual emissions of VOM from all lines at the source subject to that subsection never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices. (For example, can coating lines within a source would not be subject to the limitations of Section 219.204(b) if the combined actual emissions of VOM from the can coating lines never exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices.) Prior to May 2012, volatile organic material emissions from heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines to determine applicability.  On and after May 1, 2012, VOM emissions from heavy off-highway vehicle products coating lines must be combined with VOM emissions from miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines and plastic parts and products coating lines to determine applicability.  Any owner or operator of a coating source must comply with the applicable coating analysis test methods and procedures specified in Section 219.105(a) and the recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in Section 219.211(a) if total VOM emissions from the subject coating lines are always less than or equal to 6.8 kg/day (15 lbs/day) before the application of capture systems and control devices and, therefore, are not subject to the limitations of Section 219.204. Once a category of coating lines at a source is subject to the limitations in Section 219.204 the coating lines are always subject to the limitations in Section 219.204.

 

b)         Applicability for Wood Furniture Coating

 

1)         The limitations of this Subpart apply to a source's wood furniture coating lines if the source contains process emission units, not regulated by Subparts B, E, F (excluding Section 219.204(l)), H (excluding Section 219.405), Q, R, S, T (excluding Section 219.486), V, X, Y, Z or BB, which as a group both:

a)         On and after March 15, 1996, any owner or operator of a coating line subject to the limitations set forth in Section 219.204 of this Subpart, except coating lines subject to the limitations in Section 219.204(a)(2), (c)(2), (g)(2), (h)(2), (o) or (q) of this Subpart, and with coating lines in operation prior to January 1, 1991 (pre-existing coating lines), may, for pre-existing coating lines only, elect to comply with the requirements of this Section, rather than complying with the applicable emission limitations set forth in Section 219.204, if an operational change of the type described below has been made after January 1, 1991, to one or more pre-existing coating lines at the source.  An operational change occurs when a pre-existing coating line is replaced with a line using lower VOM coating for the same purpose as the replaced line (replacement line). A source electing to rely on this Section to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this Subpart shall operate pursuant to federally enforceable permit conditions approved by the Agency and USEPA.

 

b)         An owner or operator of pre-existing coating lines subject to a VOM content limitation in Section 219.204 of this Subpart and electing to rely on this Section to demonstrate compliance with this Subpart must establish, by use of the equations in subsection (d) of this Section, that the calculated actual daily VOM emissions from all participating coating lines, as defined in this subsection, are less than the calculated daily allowable VOM emissions from the same group of coating lines. For any pre-existing coating line to be aggregated for the purposes of Section 219.212, 219.213, or 219.214 of this Subpart (participating coating lines), the source must establish that:

 

1)         All coatings applied on the participating coating line shall, at all times, have a VOM content less than or equal to the applicable VOM content limitation for such coating listed in Appendix H of this Part; and

 

2)         On the date the source elects to rely on this Section to demonstrate compliance with this Subpart, all coatings applied on the participating coating line are not already in compliance with the VOM content limitation for such coating effective on or after March 15, 1996; or the participating coating line is a replacement line, as defined in subsection (a) of this Section with an operational change occurring on or after January 1, 1991.

1)         The replacement line is operated as a powder coating line;

 

2)         The replacement line was added after July 1, 1988; and

 

3)         The owner or operator also includes as a participating coating line one or more coating lines that satisfy the criteria of a replacement line, as described in subsection (a) of this Section.

 

d)         To demonstrate compliance with this Section, a source shall establish the following:

 

1)         An alternative daily emission limitation shall be determined for all participating coating lines at the source according to subsection (d)(2) of this Section.  All participating coating lines shall be factored in each day to demonstrate compliance.  Provided compliance is established pursuant to the requirements in this subsection, nothing in this Section requires daily operation of each participating line.  Actual daily emissions from all participating coating lines (E_d) shall never exceed the alternative daily emission limitation (A_d) and shall be calculated by use of the following equation:

 



 

where:

 

Ed	=	Actual daily VOM emissions from participating coating lines in units of kg/day (lbs/day);

Ci	=	The VOM content of each coating as applied in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM).

 

2)                  The alternative daily emission limitation (A_d) shall be determined for all participating coating lines at the source on a daily basis as follows:

 



 

where A_i and A_p are defined in subsections (d)(2)(A) and (d)(2)(B) of this Section.

 

A)        The portion of the alternative daily emissions limitation for coating operations at a source using non-powder coating (A_i) shall be determined for all such participating non-powder coating lines on a daily basis as follows:

 



 

where:

 

Ai	=	The VOM emissions allowed for the day in units of kg/day (lbs/day);
i	=	Subscript denoting a specific coating applied;
n	=	Total number of coatings applied by all participating coating lines at the source;
Ci	=	The VOM content of each coating as applied in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM);
Di	=	The density of VOM in each coating applied. For the purposes of calculating Ai, the density is 0.882 kg VOM/l VOM (7.36 lbs VOM/gal VOM);
Vi	=	Volume of each coating applied for the day in units of l (gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM); and
Li	=	The VOM emission limitation for each coating applied, as specified in Section 219.204 of this Subpart, in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM).

 

B)         The portion of the alternative daily emission limitation for coating operations at a source using powdered coating (A_p) shall be determined for all such participating powder coating lines at the source on a daily basis as follows:

 



 

where:

 

Ap	=	The VOM emissions allowed for the day in units of kg/day (lbs/day);
h	=	Subscript denoting a specific powder coating line;
j	=	Subscript denoting a specific powder coating applied;
m	=	Total number of participating powder coating lines;
n	=	Total number of powder coatings applied in the participating coating lines;
Dj	=	The assumed density of VOM in liquid coating, 0.882 kg VOM/l VOM (7.36 lbs VOM/gal VOM);
Vj	=	Volume of each powder coating consumed for the day in units of l (gal) of coating;
Lj	=	The VOM emission limitation for each coating applied, as specified in Section 219.204 of this Subpart, in units of kg VOM/l (lbs VOM/gal) of coating (minus water and any compounds that are specifically exempted from the definition of VOM); and
K	=	A constant for each individual coating line representing the ratio of the volume of coating solids consumed on the liquid coating system that has been replaced to the volume of powder coating consumed on the replacement line to accomplish the same coating job. This value shall be determined by the source based on tests conducted and records maintained pursuant to the requirements of Section 219.213 of this Subpart demonstrating the amount of coating solids consumed as both liquid and powder. Tests methods and recordkeeping requirements shall be approved by the Agency and USEPA and contained in the source's operating permit as federally enforceable permit conditions, subject to the following restrictions:
		i)		K cannot exceed 0.9 for non-recycled powder coating systems; or
		ii)	K cannot exceed 2.0 for recycled powder coating systems.
