SUBJECT: HON NESHAP: Industry Characteristics/ Propyr-CEIoride 

Attached is a product-process summary (PPS) for the production of Propyl Chloride via 

hydrohalogenation of n-propyl alcohol. This PPS was developed as part of the Industrial 

Profile project in support of the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) regulatory effort. 

Information in this PPS is used as a basis for emissions and cost impact estimates for the 

HON program. 

Listed below are the key references used in developing the attached PPS.
