Good morning, David! 

We used five years worth of TRI data to determine composite VOM and HAP concentration values for use in 

the evaporative equation.. I did not compare five years worth of data. I am working on the 2013 annual 

emissions inventory. Since thru put data for 2013 was handy, I used it to compare TANKS and evaporative 

methods in the small table I sent on March 3, 2014. 

I hope this clears things up! 

Have a great day!

Hi Nancy,
2

As stated in your email below, the emissions comparison shown in the table below is for one calendar year. Which 

year is this? Do you have emissions data for more than one calendar year that show what the difference in 

emissions between the two methods is? The email says you looked at 5 years of TRI data.

Thanks,

David

Hello David, 

 

Section 2.2(E)(3) of TWI's 2008 Title V permit states that the TANKS program must be used to calculate

emissions from MP1, MP2 and LPR. 

 

Last year, a consultant reviewed our emissions inventory process. The Surface Evaporation Model from EPA 

Guidance EIIP Volume II:Chapter 8 Section 4.1.4. Preferred and Alternative Methods for Estimating Air Emissions from Paint 

and Ink Manufacturing Facilities, March 1998. Equation 8.4-18 was used to calculate emissions from MP1, MP2 and 

LPR. The consultant compiled an average of 5 years of the most recent TRI concentration data to determine the 

concentration of VOC and HAP in the waste, which was then used in the EPA Surface Evaporation Model 

referenced above. 

 

TANKS is based on routine displacement of liquids. The surface evaporation model is based on the volatility 

and ability of a compound to evaporate from the surface of solids and then be picked up by the air in the 

building and carried to the atmosphere. The evaporation method seems to be more appropriate for MP1, MP2 

and LPR; TWI would like to change section 2.2(E)(3) of the upcoming permit (or the equivalent section

thereof) to indicate the Surface Evaporation Model will be used to calculate emissions from these sources. 

 

This table compares emissions calculated by both methods for the same calendar year:

TANKS Model Evaporative 

model 

area TPY lb TPY lb 

MP-1 0.06 117 0.21 424 

MP-2 0.02 44 0.11 212 

LABPACK/REPACK 0.03 68 0.04 85 

 

I hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have questions. 

 

Thank you, 

Nancy
