Ashley, Indiana MSOP 033-11701-00073

Permit Reviewer: CAO/MES

(1) The monitoring equipment malfunctioned, giving a false reading. This shall be an

excuse from taking further response steps providing that prompt action was taken to

correct the monitoring equipment.

(2) The Permittee has determined that the compliance monitoring parameters established

in the permit conditions are technically inappropriate, has previously submitted a

request for an administrative amendment to the permit, and such request has not

been denied or;

activities to resolve noncompliant stack tests.

(b) A retest to demonstrate compliance shall be performed within one hundred twenty (120) days

of receipt of the original test results. Should the Permittee demonstrate to IDEM, OAM that

retesting in one-hundred and twenty (120) days is not practicable, IDEM, OAM may extend

the retesting deadline. Failure of the second test to demonstrate compliance with the

appropriate permit conditions may be grounds for immediate revocation of the permit to operate

the affected emissions unit.

The documents submitted pursuant to this condition do not require the certification by the “authorized

individual” as defined by 326 IAC 2-1.1-1.

Permit Reviewer: CarrieAnn Ortolani 

On August 3, 2000, the Office of Air Management (OAM) had a notice published in the Auburn Evening

Star, Auburn, Indiana, stating that Parker Hannifin Corporation had applied for a permit to operate a chromium

electroplating source with packed bed scrubber/ composite mesh pad systems, composite mesh pad

scrubbers, filter bags and dust collectors as controls. The notice also stated that OAM proposed to issue a

permit for this installation and provided information on how the public could review the proposed permit and other

documentation. Finally, the notice informed interested parties that there was a period of thirty (30) days to

provide comments on whether or not this permit should be issued as proposed.

On August 11, 2000, Tony Proper of Parker Hannifin Corporation submitted comments on the proposed

construction permit. The summary of the comments and corresponding responses are as follows (The permit

language, if changed, has deleted language as strikeouts and new language bolded.): 

Comment 1:

Please be advised that Parker Hannifin, Ashley facility, has upgraded its dust collection system. The

Emission Calculations

Chromium emissions (Single HAP) from the biggest chromium electroplating source in Indiana are less

than ten (10) tons per year and Parker Hannifin Corporation, Cylinder Division is a much smaller source

in comparison. Therefore, no emission calculations were necessary for the chromium electroplating

because the chromium emissions from this source will be less than ten (10) tons per year. See

Appendix A (pages 1 through 3) of this document for detailed emissions calculations for combustion

and grinding, buffing and polishing operations.

Potential To Emit

Pursuant to 326 IAC 2-1.1-1(16), Potential to Emit is defined as “the maximum capacity of a stationary

source or emissions unit to emit any air pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any

physical or operational limitation on the capacity of a source to emit an air pollutant, including air

pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or type or amount of material

combusted, stored, or processed shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation is enforceable

by the U. S. EPA, the department, or the appropriate local air pollution control agency.”

Permit Reviewer:MES

(a) The potential to emit (as defined in 326 IAC 2-7-1(29)) of each pollutant is less than 100 tons

per year. Therefore, the source is not subject to the provisions of 326 IAC 2-7.

(b) The potential to emit (as defined in 326 IAC 2-7-1(29)) of any single HAP is less than ten (10)

tons per year and the potential to emit (as defined in 326 IAC 2-7-1(29)) of a combination

HAPS is less than twenty-five (25) tons per year. Therefore, the source is not subject to the

provisions of 326 IAC 2-7.

(c) The existing source is subject to 326 IAC 20-8 but not subject to 326 IAC 2-5.5-1(b)(2),

Registration, because the source is not a decorative coating plant. The source is a hard

chromium electroplating source and the source emits less than major source levels (see (a)

and (b) above). Therefore, the source is subject to the provisions of 326 IAC 2-6.1-3(a).

The source is located in DeKalb County.

Pollutant Status

PM10 attainment

SO2 attainment

NO2 attainment

Ozone attainment

CO attainment

Lead attainment

(a) Volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) are precursors for the

formation of ozone. Therefore, VOC emissions are considered when evaluating the rule

applicability relating to the ozone standards. DeKalb County has been designated as attainment or unclassifiable for ozone. Therefore, VOC and NOX

 emissions were reviewed pursuant

to the requirements for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), 326 IAC 2-2 and 40 CFR

52.21.

(b) DeKalb County has been classified as attainment or unclassifiable for all remaining criteria

pollutants. Therefore, these emissions were reviewed pursuant to the requirements for

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), 326 IAC 2-2 and 40 CFR 52.21.

(c) Fugitive Emissions

Since this type of operation is not one of the 28 listed source categories under 326 IAC 2-2,

40 CFR 52.21, or 326 IAC 2-3 and since there are no applicable New Source Performance

Standards that were in effect on August 7, 1980, the fugitive particulate matter (PM) and

volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are not counted toward determination of PSD and

Emission Offset applicability.

These emissions are the total potential to emit of the entire source. This existing source is not a

major stationary source because no attainment regulated pollutant is emitted at a rate of 250 tons per

year or more, and it is not in one of the 28 listed source categories.

Part 70 Permit Determination

326 IAC 2-7 (Part 70 Permit Program)

This existing source, is not subject to the Part 70 Permit requirements because the potential to emit

(PTE) of:

(a) each criteria pollutant is less than 100 tons per year,

(b) a single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) is less than 10 tons per year, and

(c) any combination of HAPS is less than 25 tons/year.

This status is based on all the air approvals issued to the source. This status has been verified by the

OAM inspector assigned to the source. 

Federal Rule Applicability

(a) There are no New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)(326 IAC 12 and 40 CFR Part 60)

applicable to this source.

(b) Tanks VP-1, HP-1, HP-2, HP-3, HP-4, HP-5 and HP-6 are subject to the National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 326 IAC 14, (40 CFR 63, Subpart N, and 326 IAC 20-

1-1). Pursuant to 40 CFR 63, Subpart N, and 326 IAC 20-1-1, the chromium electroplating

operations are subject to the following conditions:

(1) Emission limitation:

The Permittee shall comply with the requirements of this condition on and after the

compliance date for the tanks.

(2) The hard chromium electroplating tanks, identified as VP-1, HP-1, HP-2 and HP-3

above, are considered a large, existing hard chromium electroplating operation. During tank operation, the Permittee shall control chromium emissions discharged to the

atmosphere from the tanks by not allowing the concentration of total chromium in the

exhaust gas stream discharged to the atmosphere to exceed fifteen-thousandth milligrams of total chromium per dry standard cubic meter of ventilation air (0.015 mg/

dscm) [equivalent to six and six-tenths times ten raised to the power of negative six

grains of total chromium per dry standard cubic foot of ventilation air (6.6x10-6

gr/dscf)].

Ashley, Indiana MSOP 033-11701-00073

Permit Reviewer:MES

(3) The hard chromium electroplating tanks, identified as HP-4, HP-5 and HP-6 above,

are considered a large, new hard chromium electroplating operation. During tank

operation, the Permittee shall control chromium emissions discharged to the atmosphere from the tanks by not allowing the concentration of total chromium in the

exhaust gas stream discharged to the atmosphere to exceed fifteen-thousandth milligrams of total chromium per dry standard cubic meter of ventilation air (0.015 mg/

dscm) [equivalent to six and six-tenths times ten raised to the power of negative six

grains of total chromium per dry standard cubic foot of ventilation air (6.6x10-6

gr/dscf)].

(4) Monitoring Requirements:

(A) Pursuant to 40 CFR 63.343(c)(1)(ii), when using a composite mesh-pad

system to comply with the limits specified above and pursuant to 40 CFR

63.343(c)(3) and 63.343(c)(1)(ii), when using a packed bed scrubber in

conjunction with a composite mesh-pad system to comply with the limits

specified above, the Permittee shall monitor and record the pressure drop

across the composite mesh-pad system during tank operation once each

day that the hard chromium electroplating tank is operating. To be in

compliance with the standards, the composite mesh-pad system shall be

operated within ±1 inch of water column of the pressure drop value

established during the initial performance test, or within the range of

compliant values for pressure drop established during multiple performance

tests.

(B) Tank operation or operating time is defined as that time when a part is in the

tank and the rectifier is turned on. If the amount of time that no part is in the

tank is fifteen minutes or longer, that time is not considered operating time.

Likewise, if the amount of time between placing parts in the tank (i.e., when

no part is in the tank) is less that fifteen minutes, that time between plating

the two parts is considered operating time.

(5) Reporting Requirements:

A summary report shall be prepared to document the ongoing compliance status of

the chromium electroplating operation. This report shall be completed annually, retained on site, and made available to IDEM upon request. If there are significant exceedance of chromium air emission limits (as defined in 40 CFR Part 63.347(h)(2)),

then semiannual reports shall be submitted to:

State Rule Applicability - Entire Source

326 IAC 2-4.1-1 (New Source Toxics Control)

The potential to emit each individual hazardous air pollutant (HAP) is less than 10 tons per year and

the potential to emit any combination of HAPs is less than 25 tons per year. Therefore, this source

will emit levels of air toxics less than those which constitute a major source according to Section 112

of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, and the requirements of 326 IAC 2-4.1-1, New Source Toxics

Control, are not applicable.

326 IAC 2-6 (Emission Reporting)

This source is located in DeKalb County and the potentials to emit VOC, PM10 and NOX are less than

one-hundred (100) tons per year. Therefore, 326 IAC 2-6 does not apply.

326 IAC 5-1 (Opacity Limitations)

Pursuant to 326 IAC 5-1-2 (Opacity Limitations), except as provided in 326 IAC 5-1-3 (Temporary

alternative opacity limitations), opacity shall meet the following, unless otherwise stated in this permit:

(a) Opacity shall not exceed an average of forty percent (40%) any one (1) six (6) minute

averaging period as determined in 326 IAC 5-1-4.

(b) Opacity shall not exceed sixty percent (60%) for more than a cumulative total of fifteen (15)

minutes (sixty (60) readings as measured according to 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9 or

fifteen (15) one (1) minute nonoverlapping integrated averages for a continuous opacity monitor)

in a six (6) hour period.

State Rule Applicability - Individual Facilities

326 IAC 6-3-2 (Process Operations)

(a) Pursuant to 326 IAC 6-3 (Process Operations), the allowable PM emission rate from the two

(2) centerless grinders shall not exceed 1.44 pounds per hour, total, when operating at a

combined process weight rate of 419 pounds per hour.

The PM emissions from the two (2) centerless grinders before controls are 0.005 pounds per

hour which is less than the allowable PM emission rate of 1.44 pounds per hour. Therefore,

the two (2) centerless grinders are in compliance with this rule.

(b) Pursuant to 326 IAC 6-3 (Process Operations), the allowable PM emission rate from the two

(2) polishing machines shall not exceed 1.44 pounds per hour, total, when operating at a

combined process weight rate of 419 pounds per hour.

The PM emissions from the two (2) polishing machines before controls are 0.079 pounds per

hour which is less than the allowable PM emission rate of 1.44 pounds per hour. Therefore,

the two (2) polishing machines are in compliance with this rule.

(c) Pursuant to 326 IAC 6-3 (Process Operations), the allowable PM emission rate from the one

(1) buffing machine shall not exceed 1.02 pounds per hour when operating at a process weight

Permit Reviewer:MES

The PM emissions from the one (1) buffing machine before controls are 0.032 pounds per hour

which is less than the allowable PM emission rate of 1.02 pounds per hour. Therefore, the one

(1) buffing machine is in compliance with this rule.

These limitations are based on the following equation:

Interpolation and extrapolation of the data for the process weight rate up to sixty thousand (60,000)

pounds per hour shall be accomplished by use of the equation:

E = 4.10 P 0.67 where E = rate of emission in pounds per hour and 

 P = process weight rate in tons per hour

Conclusion

The operation of this chromium electroplating source shall be subject to the conditions of the attached

proposed Minor Source Operating Permit 033-11701-00073.

*PM emission factor is filterable PM only. PM10 emission factor is filterable and condensable PM10 combined.

**Emission Factors for NOx: Uncontrolled = 100, Low NOx Burner = 50, Low NOx Burners/Flue gas recirculation = 32

Methodology

All emission factors are based on normal firing.

MMBtu = 1,000,000 Btu

MMCF = 1,000,000 Cubic Feet of Gas

Potential Throughput (MMCF) = Heat Input Capacity (MMBtu/hr) x 8,760 hrs/yr x 1 MMCF/1,000 MMBtu

Emission Factors are from AP 42, Chapter 1.4, Tables 1.4-1, 1.4-2, 1.4-3, SCC #1-02-006-02, 1-01-006-02, 1-03-006-02, and 1-03-006-03

(SUPPLEMENT D 3/98)

Emission (tons/yr) = Throughput (MMCF/yr) x Emission Factor (lb/MMCF)/2,000 lb/ton

Note: Check the applicable rules and test methods for PM and PM10 when using the above emission factors to confirm that the correct

factor is used (i.e., condensable included/not included).

Methodology

Rate Particulate Collected (lbs/hr) = Particulate Collected (lbs) / Operating Time Resulting in Amount Collected (hrs)

Potential PM Emissions before Controls (lbs/hr) = Rate Particulate Collected (lbs/hr) / Control Efficiency

Potentia PM Emissions before Controls (tons/yr) = Potential PM Emissons before Controls (lbs/hr) * 8760 hours/year / 2000 lbs/ton

Potential PM Emissions after Controls (lbs/hr) = Potential PM Emissions before Controls (lbs/hr) * (1 - Control Efficiency)

Potential PM Emissions after Controls (tons/yr) = Potential PM Emissons after Controls (lbs/hr) * 8760 hours/year / 2000 lbs/ton

PM-10 is assumed equal to PM for these emission units
