- Benefits:
- No compliance calculations

## HAP Content Limits for Resin and Gel Coat Operations

## HAP Content Limits for Production Resin Vacuum Bagging Operations Limits are Derived from MACT Model Point Value Equations

**HAP Content Limits for Production Resin Vacuum Bagging Operations**** ****Limits are Derived from MACT Model Point Value Equations**

## Weighted-average HAP content determined monthly from the material used in each 12-month compliance period. 

Separate compliance determination for each operation.

Benefit: You can use a mix of low-HAP and high HAP materials within an operation.

- Separate compliance determination for each operation.
- Benefit: You can use a mix of low-HAP and high HAP materials within an operation.

**Compliant Materials Option Based on Weighted-Average HAP Content**

## Weighted-Average HAP Content Example

## Step 1: Total resin used is 100 Mg; 5 Mg of the vinylester skin coat resin (5% of total) is exempt 

## Step 2: Multiply the HAP content  by the Mg of each resin used; total the resin and HAP 

## Step 3:  Divide Mg HAP by Mg resin and multiply by 100%

**Facility is in compliance with 35 percent HAP content limit.**

- HAP Content =

- 95 Mg Resin

- 33.15 Mg HAP

- x 100% = 34.9%

## HAP content of each material.

Amount of each material used per month.

Calculations performed each month to demonstrate compliance based on previous 12 months data.

- Amount of each material used per month.
- Calculations performed each month to demonstrate compliance based on previous 12 months data.

**Records Needed for the Compliant Materials Option Based on Weighted-Average HAP Content:**

## Emissions Averaging 

- Determine facility’s emission rate (kg/year)

- If emission rate is less than emission limit, facility is in compliance.

**Emissions Averaging **

- Emission limit and emission rate are 12-month rolling averages.
- Emission limit and emission rate may change every month.

## Emissions Averaging Features

- Averaging does not need to include all operations.
- Averaging must be done using MACT model point values.
- MACT model point values:
- Are NOT intended for use as emission factors.
- MUST be calculated from the equations in the rule.

## Emissions Averaging Implementation Plan

- Intended as a “road-map.”
- Submitted with notification of compliance status.
- Describes the operations included in the average.
- Describes HAP contents, application methods, other control methods.
- Includes calculations demonstrating future compliance.
- Kept on site and available for inspection.
- Submit any changes with the next semi-annual compliance report.

## Calculating the Emission Limitation

- HAP limit
- = 46(MR) + 159(MPG) + 291(MCG) + 54(MTR) + 214(MTG)
- 	HAP  limit = allowable HAP emissions (kg/year)
- 	Mi = mass of each material used, Mg
- (1 Mg = 1.1023 tons)

## Calculating the Emission Rate

- HAP emissions
- = PVR(MR) + PVPG(MPG) + PVCG(MCG) + PVTR(MTR) + PVTG(MTG)
- 	HAP emissions = HAP emission rate (kg/year)
- 	PVi =	point value for each material used,
- 			kg HAP/Mg material used
- (1 Mg = 1.1023 tons)

## MACT Model Point value EquationsTable 3 to Subpart VVVV

- Example: Production resin, non-spray:
- kg HAP/Mg resin applied = 0.014(HAP%)2.275
- Separate point value equations for resin based on:
- atomized or non-atomized application
- vacuum bagging with or without roll-out
- One equation for all gel coat operations

## Example: Is this facility in compliance based on emissions averaging?

## Step 1:  Calculate the Emission Limit

- HAP limit
- 	= 46(MR) + 159(MPG) + 291(MCG) + 54(MTR) + 214(MTG)
- HAP limit
- 	= 46(90+10) + 159(30) + 291(0) + 54(0) + 214(0)
- 	= 9,370 kg HAP

## Step 2: Calculate the MACT Model Point Value for Each Operation

## Step 3: Calculate HAP Emissions (kg/yr)

## Step 4: Compare the HAP Emissions to the  HAP Limit

- HAP emissions = 9,051 kg
- HAP limit = 9,370 kg
- The operations included in the average are in compliance for this 12-month period.

**Records Needed For the  ****Emissions Averaging Option**

## Filled resins are mixed with an inert filler to reduce shrinkage and improve heat transfer.
Most often used for building molds (tooling).
Unfilled (neat) resin contains more styrene (e.g., 45%). 
Filled resins cannot comply based on the HAP content of the filled resin:
Must use MACT model point values.
Fraction of styrene emitted is higher than unfilled resin of same HAP content.

- Most often used for building molds (tooling).
- Unfilled (neat) resin contains more styrene (e.g., 45%).
- Filled resins cannot comply based on the HAP content of the filled resin:
- Must use MACT model point values.
- Fraction of styrene emitted is higher than unfilled resin of same HAP content.

**What are Filled Resins?**

## Standards for Filled Resins

- 	Production resin: 46 kg HAP/Mg filled resin applied.
- 	Tooling resin: 54 kg HAP/Mg filled resin applied.

## Calculating the MACT Model Point Value for a Filled Resin

- PV**F** 	=	The as-applied MACT model point value for a filled 			production resin or tooling resin.
- PV**U **	=	The MACT model point value for the neat (unfilled) 			resin, before filler is added.
- % Filler =	The weight-percent of filler in the as-applied
- 				filled resin system.

- PVF = PVU    x

- (100 - % Filler)

- 100

## Example:  Is this filled tooling resin in compliance? (Limit = 54 kg/Mg)

- The resin has a HAP content of 46 percent.
- The resin is mixed 40 percent by weight with filler and applied with a flow coater.

## Step 1: Determine the MACT model point value for the unfilled resin

- PV**U** = 0.014 x (46%)**2.275** = 84.9 kg/Mg

## Step 2: Calculate PVF

- PV**F **	= 84.9 kg/Mg x (100 - 40% filler)/100
- 		= 50.9 kg/Mg
- PV**F **is less than 54 kg/Mg.
- This filled resin is in compliance.

## Example: Using Filled Resins in Emissions Averaging

## Step 1: Calculate the Emission Limit

- HAP limit
- 	= 46(MR) + 159(MPG) + 291(MCG) + 54(MTR) + 214(MTG)
- HAP limit
- 	= 46(90+10) + 159(30) + 291(0) + 54(10) + 214(0)
- 	= 9,910 kg HAP

## Step 2: Determine HAP Emissions (kg/yr)

## Step 3: Compare the HAP Emissions to the  HAP Limit

- HAP emissions = 9,560 kg
- HAP limit = 9,910 kg
- The operations included in the average are in compliance for this 12-month period.
