SUBJECT: Development of the RTR Risk Modeling Dataset for the Secondary Aluminum 

Production Source Category

FROM: Mark Bahner, RTI International

TO: Rochelle Boyd, Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA)

The purpose of this memorandum is to document the technical approach and rationale used to develop 

risk modeling input data for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions for secondary aluminum 

production facilities. This work is being performed pursuant to section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act as 

part of the residual risk assessment for facilities that are subject to the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart 

RRR).

1. Facilities Modeled

There are an estimated 161 facilities subject to the Secondary Aluminum Production NESHAP. Risk 

assessment inputs were developed for 155 facilities, as shown in Table 1. There were six facilities that 

are subject to the Secondary Aluminum NESHAP that were not included in the risk assessment input 

files, as shown in Table 2. The facilities that were not included in the risk assessment input files 

included one major HAP source and five area HAP sources. The major HAP source was not included 

because the secondary aluminum equipment at the source consists of group 2 furnaces, which do not 

have emission limits under the NESHAP. The five area sources were not included because they had no 

equipment subject to dioxins/furans emissions standards, which are the only standards applicable to 

secondary aluminum production area sources.

2. Emission Process Groups Modeled

Table 3 shows the secondary aluminum emission process groups that were modeled. Also modeled as 

part of facility-wide risk assessments were primary aluminum sources that were collocated at secondary

aluminum facilities. Finally, other collocated operations such as coating lines, gas-fired boilers and other 

emission processes were also included in the facility-wide modeling. Group 2 furnaces were not 

included in the modeling dataset because the EPA did not have HAP emissions estimates for those 

furnaces.

3. Collocated Sources

The modeling inputs for the primary aluminum operations collocated at secondary aluminum production 

facilities are exactly the same as the inputs used in the recent risk assessment for the primary aluminum 

production source category.

4. Compound-Specific Emissions

The pollutants regulated under subpart RRR are particulate matter (PM), hydrochloric acid (HCl), total 

hydrocarbon (THC) and dioxins/furans (D/F). Emissions standards for the affected secondary aluminum

sources are given in Table 4. 

Subpart RRR uses PM as a surrogate for metallic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and THC is a 

surrogate for organic HAPs. Since subpart RRR compliance testing is performed for the surrogate PM 

and THC, there are limited test data available for compound-specific metallic and organic HAP 

emissions. In order to generate compound-specific metallic HAP and organic HAP data, Clean Air Act 

Section 114 requests (also known as Information Collection Requests or ICRs) were sent to nine 

companies, asking them to perform tests and provide the resulting data regarding metallic HAP and 

organic HAP emissions.

2

The metallic HAP data reported in the ICRs consisted of metallic HAP concentrations in the particulate 

collected in air pollution control devices that controlled emissions from various pieces of equipment. 

Using these test data, Table 5 presents the average, minimum, and maximum concentrations of metallic 

HAPs in PM emitted from individual secondary aluminum operations. It should be noted that the testing 

ICR was not designed exclusively to obtain metallic HAP data. Rather, the intent was to contact nine 

companies that operated many pieces of equipment, with an emphasis on companies that operated 

thermal chip dryers or scrap dryer/delacquering/decoating kilns (because the latter two pieces of 

equipment are relatively rare in the industry). However, even though gathering metallic HAP data was 

only one of the goals of the testing ICR, the data gathered is considered representative, because in most 

cases, many data points from multiple plants for each piece of equipment were obtained. See Table 5 for 

the results of metals testing; the average values in Table 5 were used in the residual risk input file. 

The data in Table 5 can be used to calculate emissions of specific metallic HAPs from a particular piece 

of secondary aluminum equipment. For example, assume a Group 1 furnace handling other than clean 

charge receives 100,000 tons per year (tpy) of charge. The allowable emissions of PM (from Table 4) 

are 0.4 lb/ton of charge, so allowable emissions of PM are 40,000 lb/year (or 20 tons per year). The

average concentration of antimony (from Table 5) in the PM is 18.6 mg/kg (i.e., 18.6 parts per million, 

or ppm). The calculated allowable emissions of antimony are therefore 20 tpy times 18.6 ppm, or 

3.72E-04 tpy. 

The ICR organic HAP data were collected by performing stack testing on thermal chip dryers and scrap 

dryer/delacquering decoating kilns, which are the two types of secondary aluminum sources that are 

regulated for THC emissions. Testing was conducted for both THC and individual organic HAP 

emissions. Test results were reported as pounds per ton of feed (lb/ton of feed). The collected 

information was used to calculate allowable emissions for each organic HAP at the THC limit given in 

the standard. For example, the THC limit for a thermal chip dryer is 0.8 lb/ton of feed. If the test results 

were 0.4 lb/ton of feed for THC, and 1E-03 lb/ton of feed for benzene, the allowable benzene emissions 

would be 2E-03 lb/ton of feed (i.e., since the measured THC emissions were half of the NESHAP limit, 

the measured benzene emissions were multiplied by two to calculate the allowable emissions. Results 

for allowable emissions of organic HAPs are summarized in Table 6, in kilograms per megagram 

(kg/Mg) of feed. The results are separated into volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semivolatile 

organic compounds (SVOCs). The results in Table 6 can be converted to allowable emissions for each 

organic HAP for each piece of equipment. Take the example, of a thermal chip dryer with a production 

of 100,000 tpy. The allowable emissions (in the “average” column) for acrylonitrile from a thermal chip 

dryer are 9.89E-04 kg/Mg. Therefore, the allowable acrylonitrile emissions for this piece of equipment 

would be 0.0989 tons per year (i.e., 100,000 tpy, multiplied by 9.89E-4 kg/Mg, divided by 1000 kg/Mg).
3

As described above, Tables 5 and 6 were used in conjunction with production data to estimate allowable 

speciated metallic and organic HAP emissions for each piece of equipment subject to Subpart RRR at 

each facility. As also described above, it was necessary to do this because the standards for metallic 

HAPs are in the form of a PM surrogate, and the standards for organic HAPs are in the form of a THC 

surrogate. Therefore, facilities measure the PM and THC surrogates to determine compliance with the 

standards, rather than measuring speciated metallic and organic HAPs. This conversion was not 

necessary for HCl, since HCl is the form of the standard, and facilities are directly measuring HCl. 

Facilities also report D/F emissions; these emissions will be discussed in Section 8.

5. All-Company ICR Responses

In addition to the nine-company testing ICR sent out on May 27, 2010, an ICR was sent to all facilities 

thought to potentially be subject to subpart RRR on February 7, 2011.

3 Responses to this request were 

used for many of the modeling inputs, including:

 Latitudes and longitudes of stacks

 Height, diameter, exhaust gas flow rate, and exhaust gas temperature for stack releases

 Type of equipment exhausting to stacks (e.g. scrap shredder, thermal chip dryer, group 1 

furnace handling other than clean charge, etc.)

 Aluminum production of equipment exhausting to stacks, and

 Reported actual emissions PM (as a surrogate for HAP metals), THC (as a surrogate for 

organic HAPs), HCl, D/F (either reported as individual congeners or TEQ, or both), and 

other HAPs, chiefly from collocated sources (except for primary aluminum, for which 

modeling files had already been developed1).

Three separate types of information regarding equipment production or capacity were requested:

 Mass of charge (tons/yr) – this was the actual charge in the most recent year (after 2004) 

 Maximum capacity of unit (tons/year), and

 Charge during most recent performance test (lb/hr) 

The maximum capacity of the unit (tons/year) was used to estimate allowable emissions for the unit, 

whereas actual emissions were based on the amount of charge for the most recent year (after 2004). 

6. Allowable Emissions Calculation Procedures

Allowable emissions were calculated as the product of the maximum capacity of the unit (from the allcompany ICR response) times a conversion factor that calculated the allowable emissions of the 

surrogate pollutant (e.g., PM or THC) times the concentration of the compound-specific metallic or 

organic HAP (from the nine-company testing ICR responses, as shown in Tables 5 and 6). 

Table 7 shows how conversion factors were calculated for each piece of equipment and pollutant, and

Table 8 summarizes the conversion factors used in the allowable emissions calculations. Table 9

provides an example of allowable emissions calculations for a HAP metal (antimony), HCl, D/F (in 

toxic equivalents), a volatile organic HAP (acrylonitrile), and a semi-volatile organic HAP 

(acenaphthene).

7. Actual Emissions Calculation Procedures

Actual emissions were calculated as a fraction of allowable emissions, using the actual amount charged 

in the most recent year (from the all-company ICR responses), and the actual emissions of surrogate 

pollutants (from the all-company ICR responses). It should be noted that nearly all companies provided 
4

only the surrogate pollutant information (i.e., PM and THC) rather than the speciated HAP information 

(i.e. speciated HAP metals and speciated organic HAP). Further, no company provided the complete 

suite of metallic and organic HAPs for which extensive testing was conducted in the nine-company ICR. 

Therefore, we used reported surrogate emissions and calculated the speciated metallic and organic HAP 

emissions using the nine-company testing data. The only instances where we used the facilities’ reported 

speciated metallic and organic HAP emissions were for the facility-wide HAP emissions modeling, 

when processes were not covered under the secondary aluminum or primary aluminum NESHAPs. 

Table 10 provides an example of actual emissions calculations for a HAP metal (antimony), HCl, D/F 

(in toxic equivalents), a volatile organic HAP (acrylonitrile), and a semi-volatile organic HAP 

(acenaphthene). 

8. Stack Locations and Stack Characteristics

Stack latitudes and longitudes as reported in the ICR responses were plotted using Google EarthTM and 

sent to facilities for confirmation or correction when time was available. The confirmation or correction 

consisted of sending individual facilities a picture (.jpg) file of the ICR response latitudes and longitudes 

plotted in Google EarthTM, with a request that the facility either confirm or correct the plotted locations. 

When there was insufficient time to obtain facility responses, the results plotted in Google EarthTM were 

simply checked to ensure that the stack latitudes and longitudes were located on a building at the facility

site, or at a control device near a building. Where the results were not located on or near a building at the 

facility site or a control device, the latitudes and longitudes were adjusted. 

9. Default Values

If emissions were not reported in the ICR responses, default emission factors were used. These default 

emission factors were the average values determined from test results that were reported and credible. 

Table 11 summarizes the default emission factors used for modeling. For example, the average D/F 

emission rate during testing of Group 1 furnaces processing other than clean charge was 2.16 μg/Mg of 

feed, and the emission limit is 15 μg/Mg of feed. Therefore, the average test result was 0.144 times the 

standard. Similarly, the average PM emission rate during testing of Group 1 furnaces firing other than 

clean charge was 0.184 lb/ton of feed, and the emission limit is 0.4 lb/ton of feed; therefore, the average 

test result was 0.460 times the standard.

Default production capacity factor values were also used when the actual production in the most recent 

year was not given, or was claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI). Production capacity

factor is the ratio of the actual production for the most recent year divided by the production capacity.

As with the default emission factors, the default production capacities were taken as the average 

production capacity for all equipment of the same type. Table 12 summarizes default production

capacity factors.

The method in which these defaults were used can be illustrated for a facility that has reported a 

maximum production capacity for a group 1 furnace handling only clean charge of 100,000 tpy, but 

reported the actual production in the most recent year as CBI. If so, the production capacity factor of 

0.493 would be used, and the actual production would be assumed to be 49,300 tpy. Similarly, if HCl 

emissions were not reported for this furnace, the default emission factor of 0.144 lb/ton would be used. 

Therefore, the actual HCl emissions would be calculated as 49,300 tpy times 0.144 lb/ton, or 7099 lb/yr, 

or 3.55 tpy.

10. Chromium and Mercury Speciation

Mercury emissions from the Secondary Aluminum Production source category are extremely low (on 

the order of one pound per year for all of the secondary aluminum production major sources. However, 

for risk modeling purposes, mercury emissions were assumed to be 80 percent elemental gaseous 

mercury, 10 percent divalent gaseous mercury and 10 percent particulate mercury. 

Chromium speciation between hexavalent chromium and total chromium was as shown in Table 5 for 

Subpart RRR sources. For other facility-wide sources, 3 percent of chromium was assumed to be 

hexavalent.

11. Allowable and Actual Emissions Results for D/F

D/F was determined to be a risk driver for both major sources and area sources. In fact, D/F was the only

HAP modeled for area sources. Therefore, the procedures used to calculate D/F emissions and the 

resulting calculated emissions will be presented here. The all-company ICR requested that facilities 

provide individual D/F congener data. However, many facilities provided both individual congener data 

and TEQ values, and some facilities provided only TEQ values. The May 23, 2000 Federal Register 

notice for the secondary aluminum NESHAP directs facilities to calculate TEQ values using EPA625/3-89-016, so the individual congener toxic equivalency factor (TEF) values in that document were 

used to calculate TEQ values for this modeling. Calculated allowable and actual emissions of D/F (in 

TEQ) for major sources are presented in Table 13 and for area sources in Table 14.

12. Quality Control Checks and Resulting Changes

Data reported in the ICRs were checked in several ways. The paragraphs below discuss data quality

checks that were performed and changes that were made when data reported in the ICR responses were 

found to be incorrect.

 First, the stack latitudes and longitudes reported by facilities were checked in Google 

EarthTM, as previously described.

 Anomalously high production values for RTI #120 (Crestwood Metals) were resolved 

through discussions with a consultant for that company.

 For RTI #257 and #352, test reports were received but no ExcelTM workbook ICR responses

were received. Therefore, risk input files were developed from the test reports and Google 

EarthTM images. Similarly, air permits were available for RTI #85 and #384, but no ExcelTM

workbook ICR responses were received. Risk input files were therefore developed from the 

air permits and Google EarthTM images.

 In general, emissions from non-Subpart RRR equipment were input directly into risk files.

One facility (RTI #292, NEI8066) reported anomalously high emissions of nickel from a 

painting line; contacts with the facility established that the painting line did not emit nickel.

 Source category classification (SCC) codes were defaulted where they were missing based on 

process descriptions.

a D/F limit applies to a unit at a major or area source.

b

Sweat furnaces equipped with afterburners meeting the specifications of §63.1505(f)(1) are not required to conduct a 

performance test.

c These limits are also used to calculate the limits applicable to secondary aluminum processing units.

d Equation definitions: LiPM = the PM emission limit for individual emission unit i in the secondary aluminum processing unit 

[kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed]; Ti = the feed rate for individual emission unit i in the secondary aluminum processing unit; LtPM

= the overall PM emission limit for the secondary aluminum processing unit [kg/Mg (lb-ton) of feed]; LiHCl = the HCl 

emission limit for individual emission unit i in the secondary aluminum processing unit [kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed]; LtHCl = 

the overall HCl emission limit for the secondary aluminum processing unit [kg/Mg (lb/ton) of feed]; LiD/F = the D/F 

emission limit for individual emission unit i [μg TEQ/Mg (gr TEQ/ton) of feed]; LtD/F = the overall D/F emission limit for 

the secondary aluminum processing unit [μg TEQ/Mg (gr TEQ/ton) of feed]; n = the number of units in the secondary 

aluminum processing unit.

e

In-line fluxers using no reactive flux materials cannot be included in this calculation since they are not subject to the PM 

limit.

f

In-line fluxers using no reactive flux materials cannot be included in this calculation since they are not subject to the HCl 

limit.

g Clean charge furnaces cannot be included in this calculation since they are not subject to the D/F limit.
