SUBJECT: Revised Baseline Emission Estimates for Major Sources in the Polyvinyl

Chloride and Copolymers (PVC) Production Source Category

1.0 Introduction

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under section 112 of the Clean Air

Act (CAA), is required to establish National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAP) emitted from polyvinyl chloride and copolymer (PVC) production facilities. The

complete set of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is listed under CAA section 112(b). To assess the

effects of regulatory requirements on these HAP, it is first necessary to determine HAP

emissions at the current level of control at each PVC production facility. These emissions are

referred to as the baseline emissions.

This memorandum describes the development of revised baseline emissions estimates for

existing sources in the PVC production source category. Section 2.0 discusses the sources of data

used in the development of the baseline emission estimates, Section 3.0 presents the

methodology used to estimate baseline emissions, and Section 4.0 summarizes the results of this

analysis.

Each facility was required to conduct tests for vinyl chloride (VC) and other HAP at the

inlet and outlet of the control systems (e.g. thermal oxidizers in series with an acid gas scrubber).

Additionally, stack testing was also required to determine hydrogen chloride (HCl) and

chlorinated dibenzodioxin and dibenzofuran (CDD/CDF) emissions at the control system’s

outlet. The stack tests consisted of 3 runs and the facilities were required to provide PVC

production rates, the exhaust gas flow rate and oxygen concentration during testing. Some of the

facilities are co-located with other manufacturing processes such as vinyl chloride monomer

(VCM) and ethylene dichloride (EDC) and also share a common control device.

Each facility was required to conduct stripped resin sampling for 30 days as a part of the

August 21, 2009 section 114. The August 21 section 114 required each facility to take samples of

the stripped resin being produced daily over a 30-day period at the outlets of the resin stripper(s)

and the resin dryer(s). The facilities analyzed the samples for the concentration(s) of HAP

present in the resin and then calculated the corresponding mass of each HAP present in the

stripped resin, based on the analysis of the concentration in each of the samples.

memo 1

3.0 Methodology for Estimating Baseline Emissions

Baseline emissions were estimated for 7 emission points in the PVC production source

category: process vents, stripped resins, storage tanks, heat exchange systems, equipment leaks,

other emission sources, and wastewater. The general methodology consisted of multiplying a

HAP concentration by the emission point flow rate and assuming an operating time of 8,400

hours per year (with 2 weeks or 336 hours of downtime). Baseline emissions from certain

emission points or sources, such as equipment leaks, were determined using EPA supplied

factors; other emission estimates were supplied by facilities in their section 114 (survey and

testing) responses. In multiple instances, a complete emissions data set did not exist for a given

emission point or source. Average factors were used to estimate facility emissions where data did

not exist. A description of how baseline emissions were determined is provided below.

3.1 Process Vents

Annual baseline emissions from process vents were estimated in the PVC production

source category for VC, HCl, chlorine (Cl 2 

# ), CDD/CDF, and total organic HAP. The total

organic HAP estimated includes VC and CDD/CDF emissions, but does not include HCl or other

non-organic HAP. Baseline emissions estimates were calculated using the facility submitted

process vent stack testing information reported in the August 21, 2009 PVC section 114 testing

report and March 16, 2011 VCM/EDC section 114 testing report which included HAP

concentrations, exhaust gas flow rates, and oxygen concentrations. The determination of HAP

concentrations is described in a separate memo 2



# .

As noted in a separate memo, several PVC-combined facilities (Formosa Baton Rouge,

Westlake Calvert City, Formosa Point Comfort, and OxyVinyls Deer Park) isolated their process

vent control device while performing stack testing in response to the August 21, 2009 section

114 for the PVC production industry. In response to the March 16, 2011 section 114 for the

VCM/EDC manufacturing industries, 3 facilities (Formosa Point Comfort, OxyVinyls Deer Park,

and Shintech Plaquemine) conducted testing for VC and CDD/CDF with their process vent

control device operating under normal conditions (i.e., no normally controlled streams were

excluded). Therefore, the EPA did not receive VC and CDD/CDF concentration data as a result

of testing under normal operating conditions from 2 of the PVC-combined facilities (Formosa

Baton Rouge, Westlake Calvert City). The EPA also did not receive HCl or total organic HAP

concentration data as a result of testing under normal operating conditions from 4 PVCcombined facilities (Formosa Baton Rouge, Westlake Calvert City, Formosa Point Comfort and

OxyVinyls Deer Park).

Shintech Plaquemine reported VC emissions concentrations that were above the 40 CFR

Part 61, subpart F emission limit of 10 parts per million (PPM); therefore, all pollutant

concentrations reported by Shintech Plaquemine in response to the August 21, 2009 section 114

were excluded from the baseline emission analysis. Although Shintech Plaquemine conducted

2

# process vent testing in response to the March 16, 2011 section 114, results for VC were not used

in the analysis because the facility reported abnormally low concentrations as non-detect (ND).

To calculate baseline emissions for PVC-combined facilities that did not report data

under normal operating conditions, average factors were applied to these facilities based on

available data from PVC-combined facilities that reported data under normal operating

conditions. Therefore, baseline emission estimates for all PVC-combined facilities includes

process vent streams from PVC production and other source category processes (e.g.,

EDC/VCM). A process vent exhaust gas flow rate was calculated for each facility and used to

estimate baseline emissions. Since a single test method cannot be used to determine all of the

HAP concentrations in an emission stream, each facility used multiple test methods to determine

the concentrations of HAP present in their exhaust gas stream. Not all test methods can be

conducted concurrently; therefore, multiple volumetric flow rates were reported for each process

vent at every facility. Facilities were required to perform 3 test runs for each test method they

conducted, so 3 volumetric flow rates were reported for each test method. The volumetric flow

rate used in the baseline emission estimation was determined by calculating the average flow rate

for each test method for each facility. The maximum average flow rate was then selected for

each facility and used to estimate baseline emissions. For example, one facility may have

determined the concentration of VC, HCl, and CDD/CDF using Method 0031, Method 26, and

Method 23 respectively. Each method was comprised of 3 test runs, for a total of 9 individual

volumetric flow rates. The volumetric flow rates were averaged for each test method, resulting in

3 volumetric flow rate averages. The maximum average value was then selected for the baseline

emissions calculation. The maximum average volumetric flow rate was used to calculate a

conservatively high baseline emissions estimate.

A process vent exhaust gas oxygen concentration was also calculated for each facility and

used to estimate baseline emissions. Facilities were required to report HAP concentrations

corrected to a 3 percent oxygen basis. Concentration data are not directly comparable if reported

on various oxygen concentration bases; however, to calculate a HAP mass flow rate, it is

necessary to convert the concentration data point to the actual oxygen concentration of the

exhaust gas. As stated in the exhaust gas volumetric flow rate discussion, facilities used multiple

test methods to determine HAP concentrations and reported multiple oxygen concentrations in

their exhaust gas stream. The oxygen concentration used in the baseline emissions estimation

was determined by calculating the average oxygen concentration for all test methods for each

facility. It was assumed that facilities would more than likely control oxygen concentration (i.e.,

excess air) to a relatively constant level, regardless of flow rate; therefore, an average oxygen

concentration was used in the baseline emissions estimate.

Using the equations presented in Appendix A and the average exhaust gas flow rate and

oxygen concentrations previously discussed, baseline emissions were determined for VC, HCl,

Cl 2 

# , CDD/CDF and total organic HAP.

Baseline emissions for CDD/CDF were estimated on a toxic equivalency (TEQ) basis.

For each facility, the 17 CDD/CDF congeners were converted from a total mass basis to a TEQ

basis as described in a separate memo 2 

# . CDD/CDF compounds vary in toxicity. Converting mass

based CDD/CDF values to TEQ allows one to compare releases of total CDD/CDF on a toxicity

basis 3 

# . The concentrations of the 17 congeners were summed to obtain the total CDD/CDF TEQ

3

# concentration for each facility. Annual baseline emissions were then calculated using the

equations presented in Appendix A.

Total organic HAP baseline emissions were calculated by determining and summing the

annual baseline emissions for each organic HAP compound reported by facilities using the

equations presented in Appendix A. HCl and Cl 2 

# were not included in the total organic HAP

baseline estimate, as HCl and Cl 2 

# are not organic compounds. CDD/CDF was not converted to a

TEQ basis for the total organic HAP sum to reflect the actual tonnage of total organic HAP.

Details of the analysis can be found in Attachment A. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for process vents are presented in Section 4.0.

3.2 Stripped Resin

After polymerization, most resin slurries are sent to a steam stripper that removes residual

vinyl chloride and other HAP before the resin is dried. HAP emissions from processes

downstream of the resin stripper are dependent on the concentration of HAP remaining in the

stripped resin. That is, the greater the HAP concentration in the stripped resin, the greater the

HAP emissions from downstream process components. Similarly, the lower the HAP

concentration in the stripped resin, the lower the HAP emissions from downstream process

components.

Annual baseline emissions resulting from residual VC and total non-vinyl chloride

organic HAP (total non-VC organic HAP) remaining in the stripped resin were estimated for

each PVC production facility. As discussed above, it was assumed that the total amount of all

residual VC and other organic HAP in the stripped resin would be emitted from process

equipment downstream of the resin stripper (or in process equipment following polymerization if

there is no separate resin stripper). For facilities that manufacture a type of resin other than a

bulk resin, the majority of these emissions would likely occur from the resin centrifuge and/or

dryer vents as the resin slurry is dried. For all non-bulk PVC facilities, baseline emissions from

stripped resins were estimated based on the calculated or reported residual VC and total non-VC

organic HAP concentrations in the stripped resin(s) for each facility and assuming that 100

percent of the pollutant mass is subsequently emitted from the facility from operations

downstream of the resin stripper.

To conservatively estimate emissions, the maximum resin flow rates were extracted from

Form K-2-A of the section 114 survey responses. For facilities with multiple resin strippers, all

the stripped resin stream flow rates were totaled for each facility. If a facility did not report a

maximum resin flow rate (or reported resin flow rates as confidential business information),

publically available facility capacity data from year 2006 was used to estimate resin production.

If a facility produces more than 1 type of resin, the total resin production was divided by the

number of types of resins produced at the facility to estimate emissions from each resin type. The

residual VC and total non-VC organic HAP concentrations in the stripped resin for each facility

that were calculated for the MACT floor analysis 2 

# were also used with the resin flow rate to

estimate the annual mass emissions using Equation 5, found in Appendix A.

4

# Details of this analysis can be found in Attachment B. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for resins are presented in Section 4.0.

3.3 Storage Vessels

VC and total organic HAP baseline emissions from storage vessels were provided by

each facility on Form O of the section 114 survey responses 1 

# . Total organic HAP was estimated

by summing all the organic HAP pollutants for each facility. A percentage of facilities indicated

that storage vessel emissions were not calculated or recorded. A number of facilities reported

pollutant vapor pressures and concentrations, but did not provide an estimate for annual

emissions. To estimate the industry total baseline emissions from storage vessels, the average

factors were applied to those facilities which did not report annual emissions.

Details of this analysis can be found in Attachment C. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for storage vessels are presented in Section 4.0.

3.4 Heat Exchange Systems

VC and total organic HAP baseline emissions from heat exchange systems were

calculated for each facility by extracting data from the August 21, section 114 survey form’s C1-A, D, and K-1-C. Only one facility provided emissions estimates of VC from cooling towers.

The emission estimates were used to back-calculate a cooling tower water VC concentration. The

percentage of VC in the cooling tower water to the reported leak action level was then

determined. For any facility that reported a leak action level, their cooling tower water VC

concentration was estimated by multiplying the reported leak action level by concentration

percentage. For facilities that did not report a leak action level, an average VC concentration was

calculated using the average leak action level. Cooling towers for each facility were then

identified using form C-1-A of the section 114 survey. Cooling water recirculation rates were

extracted for each cooling tower identified in the section 114 survey and multiplied by the

previously determined VC concentration to obtain estimated emissions for each cooling tower.

Emissions from each cooling tower were summed to obtain a baseline emission estimate from

heat exchange systems for each facility.

Details of this analysis can be found in Attachment D. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for heat exchange systems are presented in Section 4.0.

3.5 Equipment Leaks

Baseline emissions from equipment leaks were calculated by applying emission factors

associated with leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs used by each facility. Emissions

were calculated on an equipment basis (e.g., valves, pumps, compressors, open-ended lines,

sampling connections, connectors) and then summed over all equipment to calculate facility

emissions.

Emission factors were obtained from the memo titled “Analysis of Emissions Reduction

Techniques for Equipment Leaks” from Cindy Hancy, RTI International, to Jodi Howard, EPA 4



# . The memo was developed under the technology review required by Section 112(d)(6) of the

CAA for equipment leaks. Emission factors were developed using facility data from the

5

# Miscellaneous Organic NESHAP MACT floor development and the EPA Office of Air Quality

and Planning 1995 Standards Protocol for Equipment Leak Emission Estimates 5 

# . Emission

factors labeled as “Baseline” from Table 6 of the memo were used to estimate emission from

facilities currently complying with 40 CFR subpart F. Emission factors for “Option 1” for valves,

pumps and connectors were used to estimate emission from facilities currently complying with

40 CFR subpart UU.

Information on actual equipment counts at each PVC facility were not collected in the

August 21, 2009 section 114. Consequently, model equipment counts developed by EPA for

other chemical facilities were used in this analysis 4 

# . The model equipment counts are associated

with 3 categories of chemical manufacturing facilities: (1) facilities with highly complex

processes that require a number of pipelines and equipment, (2) facilities with moderately

complex processes (which have less process lines or equipment), and (3) facilities with low

complexity processes (which have a basic level of process lines or equipment). For this analysis,

it was assumed that PVC facilities would fit into the second category, moderately complex,

because, while the processes are basic, a facility could have a number of different process lines

to make different grades of PVC resin.

Attachment E summarizes the model components used in the analysis, the LDAR

program the facility is currently using, and the baseline emissions estimated for the facility.

Results of the baseline emissions estimation for equipment leaks are presented in Section 4.0.

3.6 Other Emission Sources

Annual baseline emissions of VC and total organic HAP from reactor openings and

process component openings were estimated by most facilities and submitted as part of their

survey responses. For those facilities, emissions data were reported for either VC, total VOC, or

both. One facility also reported estimated emissions for vinyl acetate and methanol in addition to

VC and total VOC. Estimates for total organic HAP emissions for each facility were calculated

as the sum of all reported HAP emissions. Emission factors for VC and for methanol were

calculated based on the provided data and were used to estimate VC and total organic HAP

emissions for those facilities that did not provide emissions estimates from reactor openings or

process component openings. Two different emission factors were calculated; one for suspension

resin facilities and another for dispersion resin facilities. The calculated emission factors for VC

and methanol were then applied to the facilities according to the type of resin manufactured

(suspension or dispersion) and total annual emissions for VC and total organic HAP were

calculated.

Annual baseline emissions for gasholders were estimated using the average VC emission

factor for large and small gasholders and the number of gasholders in operation provided by the

VI.

Details of this analysis can be found in Attachment F. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for other emission sources are presented in Section 4.0.

3.7 Wastewater

6

# Baseline wastewater generation of VC and total non-VC organic HAP emissions were

determined for three categories of wastewater; stripper outlets, uncontrolled streams, and

maintenance wastewater. Only a small percentage of facilities reported adequate information for

each category. The emissions of the remaining facilities were estimated by calculating average

factors from the wastewater data set.

The following steps were taken to calculate baseline wastewater generation:

1. Each reported wastewater stream was identified as one of 3 categories: stripper outlet,

uncontrolled, or maintenance.

2. Facility supplied process flow diagrams and originating equipment designations were

used to identify stripper outlet streams.

3. A stream was assumed uncontrolled if it was exposed to the atmosphere and not

previously identified as a stripper outlet.

4. Facilities reported maintenance wastewater in a separate section of the survey;

therefore, no additional categorization was needed.

The summation of the stripper outlet, uncontrolled, and maintenance wastewater streams

were assumed to represent the total wastewater generated by a facility. Annual generation of VC

and total non-VC organic HAP emissions in each wastewater stream was calculated using

Equation 6, found in Appendix A.

To estimate the VC and total non-VC organic HAP emissions generated by facilities that

did not report sufficient wastewater information, the available data set was used to develop and

apply average factors to the under-reported facilities. Three factors were developed for each

wastewater category: the average amount of wastewater generated per pound of resin produced,

the average concentration of VC, and the average concentration of total non-VC organic HAP.

Only a percentage of facilities reported total annual wastewater generation for each

wastewater category. Therefore, it was necessary to estimate the annual wastewater generation

for facilities that did not provide information. For each wastewater category, the average tonnage

of wastewater generated per pound of resin produced was calculated by dividing the total tons of

wastewater generated by the total pounds of resin produced in 2008 for each facility that

provided adequate wastewater information and non-confidential production data. The values

were then averaged to obtain a wastewater generation factor based on resin production for each

wastewater category.

Similar to wastewater generation, only a fraction of facilities reported the VC and total

non-VC organic HAP concentrations in each wastewater category. Therefore, it was necessary to

estimate the average annual VC and total non-VC organic HAP concentration for the remainder

of the facilities. All categorized data provided by industry were used to develop average factors.

The amount of wastewater generated was calculated by multiplying the average tonnage

of wastewater generated per pound of resin produced factor by the 2008 resin production of 2006

capacity rating for each facility that did not report adequate wastewater data. Once the total

7

# amount of wastewater generated was calculated for each facility, the total amount of VC and

total non-VC organic HAP were estimated by multiplying the average factors by the estimated

wastewater generation rate.

Details of this analysis can be found in Attachment G. Results of the baseline emissions

estimation for wastewater are presented in Section 4.0.
