There are really only two sources of Polymers & Resins IV SAN resins emissions at the KY Plant of any 

significance. All other vents have negligible emissions. The main one, of course, is the Spray Dryer #2 RTO vent 

(SD2RTO) and the other is the Spray Dryer #2 RTO Bypass (SD2BP). Spray Dryer #2 is used to dry both SAN 

resins and NBR. All styrene emissions allocated to these two vents are attributable to SAN resin manufacturing. 

The acrylonitrile emissions from these two vents are attributable to both product lines. The flow rates, exit 

velocities, temperatures, inside stack diameters, stack heights and locations have not changed.

Here are reasonable maximum annual emissions due to SAN resin manufacturing for these vents:

Subject: Zeon P&R IV Emissions Data

Tom, 

Attached is a draft emissions data file that EPA is planning to use for modeling of P&R IV emissions from your 

Louisville facility. This file was derived from emissions data that was sent by you back in 2009 that was used in 

Zeon's STAR modeling effort for the Louisville Metro APCD. We have subtracted from the STAR data the 

emissions from the ICR response EPA received for P&R I and assumed all the ethyl acrylate emissions are for 

the polyacrylate rubber produced and regulated under the MON, which leaves the rest of the emissions for P&R 

IV. We would appreciate Zeon's input on these emissions and please reassign any emission points that have 

been incorrectly apportioned. The first spreadsheet shows the emissions by MACT, the second shows the STAR 

data we received from you, and the third spreadsheet shows the ICR data received from you. 

We would appreciate if you could send us any revisions by June 4th. Thank you.
