Section 219.413 - Emission Limitations and Control Requirements for Letterpress Printing Lines
Universal Citation: 35 IL Admin Code ยง 219.413
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) No owner or operator of letterpress printing lines subject to the requirements of this Subpart shall:
1) Cause or allow the operation
of any heatset web letterpress printing line that meets the applicability
requirements of Section
219.412(a)(1)
unless:
A)
The air pressure in the dryer is maintained lower than the air pressure of the
press room, such that air flow through all openings in the dryer, other than
the exhaust, is into the dryer at all times when the printing line is
operating;
B) An afterburner is
installed and operated so that VOM emissions (excluding methane and ethane)
from the press dryer exhausts are reduced as follows:
i) By 90 percent, by weight, for afterburners
first constructed at the source prior to January 1, 2010;
ii) By 95 percent, by weight, for
afterburners first constructed at the source on or after January 1, 2010;
or
iii) To a maximum afterburner
exhaust outlet concentration of 20 ppmv (as carbon);
C) The afterburner complies with all
monitoring provisions specified in Section
219.416(a)
of this Subpart; and
D) The
afterburner is operated at all times when the printing line is in operation,
except the afterburner may be shut down between November 1 and April 1 as
provided in Section
219.107
of this Part;
2) Cause
or allow the use of a cleaning solution on any letterpress printing line
unless:
A) The VOM content of the as-used
cleaning solution is less than or equal to 70 percent, by weight; or
B) The VOM composite partial vapor pressure
of the as-used cleaning solution is less than 10 mmHg at
20oC (68oF);
3) Cause or allow VOM-containing
cleaning materials, including used cleaning towels, associated with any
letterpress printing line to be kept, stored, or disposed of in any manner
other than in closed containers, except when specifically in use.
b) An owner or operator of a heatset web letterpress printing line subject to the requirements of subsection (a)(1)(B) of this Section may use a control device other than an afterburner, if:
1) The control device reduces VOM
emissions from the press dryer exhausts as follows:
A) By 90 percent, by weight, for control
devices first constructed at the source prior to January 1, 2010;
B) By 95 percent, by weight, for control
devices first constructed at the source on or after January 1, 2010;
or
C) To a maximum control device
exhaust outlet concentration of 20 ppmv (as carbon);
2) The owner or operator submits a plan to
the Agency detailing appropriate monitoring devices, test methods,
recordkeeping requirements, and operating parameters for the control device;
and
3) The use of the control
device in accordance with this plan is approved by the Agency and USEPA as
federally enforceable permit conditions.
