I. Introduction

Under section 111(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is required to review and, if appropriate, revise existing new source 

performance standards (NSPS) at least every 8 years. The NSPS for kraft pulp mills (40 CFR 

part 60, subpart BB) were promulgated in 1978 and last reviewed in 1986, and are due for 

another review. The NSPS regulates emissions of particulate matter (PM) from new, modified, 

and reconstructed recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, and lime kilns at kraft pulp mills. 

The NSPS also regulates emissions of total reduced sulfur (TRS) compounds from new, 

modified and reconstructed digesters, brown stock washers, multiple-effect evaporators, 

condensate strippers, recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, and lime kilns at kraft pulp mills. 

Total reduced sulfur compounds are defined under 40 CFR 60.281(c) of the kraft pulp mills 

NSPS to include the following four compounds: hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methyl mercaptan, 

dimethyl sulfide, and dimethyl disulfide.

The purpose of this memorandum is to present information relevant to the NSPS review 

from the following:

• A recent search of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) for information on 

air pollution control options in the pulp and paper industry;

• A 2010 document by the European Commission on best available techniques in the pulp 

and paper industry; and

• A 2006 document by the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators and 

the Association of Local Air Pollution Control Officials (STAPPA/ALAPCO) on the 

most effective ways to control emissions of fine particles (PM2.5) and PM2.5 precursors

from sources in various industry categories, including the pulp and paper industry.

II. RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse

Under EPA’s New Source Review (NSR) program, if a company is planning to build a 

new plant or modify an existing plant such that air pollution emissions will increase by a large 

amount, the company must obtain an NSR permit. The NSR permit is a construction permit 

which requires the company to minimize air pollution emissions by changing the process to 

prevent air pollution and/or installing air pollution control equipment. The terms “RACT,” 
2

“BACT,” and “LAER” are acronyms for different program requirements under the NSR 

program. RACT, or Reasonably Available Control Technology, is required on sources in areas 

that are not meeting national ambient air quality standards (i.e., nonattainment areas). BACT, or 

Best Available Control Technology, is required on major new or modified sources in attainment 

areas. LAER, or Lowest Achievable Emission Rate, is required on major new or modified 

sources in non-attainment areas. BACT and LAER (and sometimes RACT) are determined on a 

case-by-case basis, usually by State or local permitting agencies. The EPA established the 

RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse, or RBLC, to provide a central database of air pollution 

technology information (including past BACT and LAER decisions contained in NSR permits) 

to promote the sharing of information among permitting agencies and to aid in future case-bycase determinations. However, data in the RBLC are not limited to sources subject to RACT, 

BACT, and LAER requirements. Noteworthy prevention and control technology decisions and 

information are included even if they are not related to past RACT, BACT, or LAER decisions.

The RBLC contains over 5,000 air pollution control permit determinations that can help 

identify appropriate control options to mitigate most air pollutant emission streams. It was 

designed to help permit applicants and reviewers make pollution prevention and control 

technology decisions for stationary air pollution sources, and includes data submitted by several 

U.S. territories and all 50 states on over 200 different air pollutants and 1,000 industrial 

processes.

The RBLC provides several options for searching the database to locate applicable 

control options. To identify control options relevant to the review of the kraft pulp mills NSPS, 

searches of the RBLC were made using the Process Type field for Process Type Code 30.200 –

Kraft Pulp & Paper Process. An initial search looked at records from 2000 to 2010. A more 

recent search looked at records from 2010 to 2012, but found nothing new to add to the initial 

search results. We extracted the relevant data from the RBLC website and grouped the search 

results for similar process types under the following RTI process codes:

• For TRS compounds: digester, evaporator, noncondensable gases (NCG) incinerator, 

recovery furnace, smelt dissolving tank, and lime kiln

• For PM: recovery furnace, smelt dissolving tank, and lime kiln

The following sections describe the findings of our RBLC search for TRS and PM control 

options used at kraft pulp mills.

A. Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS)

The RBLC search identified information for 28 kraft pulp mills that use some type of 

emissions control for TRS, H2S (a major component of TRS), odor (typically from TRS), volatile 

organic compounds (VOC), methanol, or formaldehyde. The search also identified information 

for an additional mill that converted its Nos. 2 and 3 recovery furnaces from direct contact 

evaporator (DCE) units to non-direct contact evaporator (NDCE) units, which, by their design,

are expected to have lower TRS emissions. Mills using control measures for non-TRS 

compounds (VOC, methanol, or formaldehyde) were included in the results because, in most 

cases, TRS is expected to be reduced by the same control measures that reduce emissions of
3

these non-TRS compounds. Appendix A summarizes the results of the RBLC search for these 28

mills, organized by process code. Note: Some of these mills have results for multiple compounds 

and processes.

According to the RBLC search results, emissions of TRS, H2S, odor, VOC, and methanol 

from digesters and evaporators at 12 kraft pulp mills are controlled by routing them to an 

incineration device, such as a lime kiln, boiler, or thermal oxidizer (NCG incinerator). Emissions 

of TRS from the digesters at 1 of the 12 kraft pulp mills are further controlled by adjusting the 

pH of the boiler’s scrubber water to 8.0 prior to incinerating the TRS in the boiler.

The RBLC search results noted that TRS and VOC emissions from recovery furnaces at 

16 kraft pulp mills are controlled through recovery furnace design and operation, described 

varyingly throughout the RBLC results as proper boiler design, installation of/conversion to an 

NDCE recovery furnace, staged combustion, combustion improvements, proper boiler operation, 

good combustion practices, and combustion control. The RBLC results also indicated that 1 of 

the 16 mills uses proper boiler design and operation to control H2S emissions, a major 

component of TRS, and another of the 16 mills uses good combustion practices to control 

formaldehyde, which is controlled through the same mechanisms as TRS. One of the 16 mills 

also reduces the TRS and VOC emissions from its recovery furnace by limiting the recovery 

furnace firing rate and pulp production rate. The RBLC results indicated a 17th mill limits its

recovery furnace TRS emissions through a combination of good engineering practices, 

continuous emissions monitoring, and a wet scrubber. While the RBLC results indicated an 18th

mill limits its TRS emissions by upgrading the black liquor oxidation (BLO) system associated 

with its DCE recovery furnaces, a review of the mill’s response to EPA’s 2011 information 

collection request (ICR) indicates that the DCE recovery furnaces at this mill were converted to 

the NDCE design in 2000 and 2001, at which time the BLO system would have been removed.

Two mills’ recovery furnaces have TRS limits below the NSPS limit of 5 ppm at 

8 percent oxygen (O2) for straight recovery furnaces. One mill’s recovery furnace, which ensures 

reduced TRS emissions through the use of proper boiler design and operation, has a TRS 

emission limit of 3 parts per million (ppm) at 8 percent O2. Another mill’s recovery furnace, 

which ensures reduced TRS emissions through the use of an NDCE recovery furnace, good 

combustion practices, and limits on its recovery furnace firing rate (4.4 million pounds of black 

liquor solids per day [MM lb BLS/d]) and pulp production (1410 air-dried tons of bleached pulp 

per day [ADTBP/d]), has a TRS emission limit of 4 ppm at 8 percent O2. 

The results of the RBLC search showed lime kilns at 8 kraft pulp mills with some kind of 

control measure to reduce TRS and VOC emissions. Four of these mills reduce their TRS and 

VOC emissions using wet scrubbers, with 1 of these 4 mills using fresh water in the scrubber and 

another using optimal mud washing. The remaining 4 mills use a variety of control measures to 

reduce TRS and VOC emissions, including kiln design and operation, good combustion 

practices, optimized mud washing, or best management practices for pulp washing. One mill’s

lime kiln, which controls TRS with a wet scrubber using fresh water, has a TRS emission limit of 

6.5 ppm, which is below the NSPS limit of 8 ppm at 10 percent O2 for lime kilns.
4

According to the RBLC search results, 2 kraft pulp mills rely on recovery furnace design 

and operation to ensure reduced TRS and/or VOC emissions from the SDT downstream of the 

recovery furnace. A 3rd mill relies on its SDT wet scrubber to reduce TRS emissions from the 

SDT, and a 4th mill relies on a combination of a low-sulfide water scrubber for the SDT and 

limits to the recovery furnace firing rate and pulp production rate to reduce TRS emissions from 

the SDT. The SDTs at the 3rd and 4th mills have TRS emission limits of 0.032 and 0.03 pound 

per ton of black liquor solids (lb/ton BLS), respectively, which are slightly below the NSPS limit 

of 0.033 lb/ton BLS for SDTs.

B. Particulate Matter (PM)

The RBLC search identified information for 21 kraft pulp mills that use some type of 

emissions control for filterable PM (15 mills), filterable PM10 (8 mills), condensable PM (1 mill), 

or lead compounds (1 mill). Note: As with TRS, some of the mills have results for multiple 

pollutants and processes. Filterable PM includes those particles captured on the front half of the 

sampling filter, with PM10 comprising those particles 10 micrometers (μm) or less in size. 

Condensable PM includes those particles in the vapor phase at stack conditions which form a 

solid/liquid after discharge from the stack and comprise those particles 2.5 μm or less in size 

(PM2.5).

The mills listed for filterable PM10, condensable PM, and lead compounds were included 

in the results because filterable PM is expected to be reduced by the same control measures that 

reduce emissions of these other pollutants. Appendix B summarizes the results of the RBLC 

search for these 21 mills, organized by process code. 

The results of the RBLC search show that recovery furnace PM emissions at 19 kraft

pulp mills are controlled using an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). Three of these 19 mills also 

use other control measures, in addition to the ESP. One also uses a wet scrubber, a 2nd also limits

the recovery furnace firing rate and pulp production rate, and the 3rd also uses good combustion 

practices.

Recovery furnaces at 9 of the 19 mills have filterable PM emission limits below the 

NSPS limit of 0.044 grain per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf) at 8 percent O2. These recovery 

furnaces are listed in Table 1 below. The filterable PM limits more stringent than the NSPS 

ranged from 0.02 to 0.036 gr/dscf at 8 percent O2. All but one of the recovery furnaces control 

PM emissions using just an ESP; the other recovery furnace uses an ESP in conjunction with 

limits on its recovery furnace firing rate and pulp production.

Note: The control method (wet ESP) listed in RBLC for the Georgia-Pacific Crossett mill is actually a wet-bottom ESP, and the 

type of ESP bottom is not relevant for PM control.

The RBLC search results found that lime kiln PM emissions at 10 kraft pulp mills are 

controlled using a PM control device. Of these 10 mills, 4 use a wet scrubber, 3 use an ESP, 1 

uses pre-cleaner cyclones prior to a wet scrubber, 1 uses a combination ESP/wet scrubber, and 1 

uses a wet scrubber on one kiln and a combination ESP/wet scrubber on the other to control PM 

emissions. (Note: Although the RBLC search results indicated Lime Kiln No. 2 at the GeorgiaPacific Port Hudson mill was equipped with an ESP only, the ICR response for the mill indicates 

it is actually equipped with an ESP and wet scrubber.) One of the 4 mills using only wet 

scrubbers also uses the scrubber to control lead compound emissions.

Lime kilns at 3 of the 10 mills have filterable PM emission limits below the NSPS limits 

of 0.066 gr/dscf for gas-fired kilns and 0.13 gr/dscf for oil-fired kilns at 10 percent O2. These 

lime kilns are listed in Table 2 below. The filterable PM limits more stringent than the NSPS 

ranged from 0.01 to 0.05 gr/dscf at 10 percent O2. The three most stringent limits are met by 

kilns with an ESP or a combination ESP/wet scrubber.

Note: Although the RBLC indicated Lime Kiln No. 2 at the Georgia-Pacific Port Hudson mill was equipped with an ESP only, 

the ICR response for the mill indicates it is equipped with an ESP and wet scrubber.

According to the RBLC search results, SDT PM emissions at 6 kraft pulp mills are 

controlled using a PM control device. The RBLC results indicated that 1 of these 6 mills uses an 

ESP to control PM emissions. For clarification, we reviewed the 2011 ICR response from this 

mill and found that the SDT emissions are actually vented to an SDT wet scrubber first, then to 

the associated recovery furnace, which is equipped with an ESP. The RBLC results also found 4 

mills that use a wet scrubber only and 1 mill that uses a wet scrubber in combination with limits 

on recovery furnace firing rate and pulp production rate.

The SDTs at 3 of the 6 mills have filterable PM emission limits below the NSPS limit of 

0.2 lb/ton BLS. These SDTs are listed in Table 3 below. The filterable PM limits more stringent 

than the NSPS ranged from 0.133 to 0.199 lb/ton BLS and are coupled with wet scrubber SDT 

controls. One of these mills also uses limits on its recovery furnace firing rate and pulp 

production in addition to an SDT wet scrubber.

III.European Commission Document

A general search of the Internet was conducted for information on control options

applicable to the kraft pulp mills NSPS review. The search identified a 2010 European 

Commission document entitled Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC): Reference 

Document on Best Available Techniques in the Pulp and Paper Industry. (EC 2010) The 

information provided in the document was intended to be used as an input to the determination of 
7

best available techniques (BAT) in specific cases. Excerpts of BAT from EC 2010 relevant to the 

NSPS review are presented in Table 4 below.

Recovery 

furnaces

A higher dry solids content leads to a high 

temperature in the furnace and thus a lower 

emission of H2S and higher emission of sodium; 

increase the dry solids content of black liquor by 

installing a superconcentrator to achieve a dry 

solids content of up to 80%; the achievable dry 

solids content depends on the wood species; may 

need to install more efficient ESP to compensate 

for the increase in PM emissions that will result 

from the higher dry solids content; at very high 

dry solids content (>80%), will need to collect 

and incinerate the considerable sulfur 

compounds released from the last evaporator 

stage.

Reduce the emissions of dust (PM) from recovery furnaces 

using ESPs (used by modern systems); sufficiently 

dimensioned ESPs together with good gas flow distribution 

into the ESP and an optimized ESP cleaning regime can 

reduce levels down to 15-20 milligrams per Normal cubic 

meter (mg/Nm3

) on a daily average (dry gas, 273°K, 6% 

oxygen [O2]) (converts to 0.0057-0.0076 grain per dry 

standard cubic foot [gr/dscf] at 8% O2).

Reduce the emissions of dust (PM) from recovery furnaces 

using two-stage dust removal facilities--ESP and wet 

scrubber (used by older systems); two-stage dust removal 

facilities achieve dust (PM) concentrations in the clean gas 

of 10-30 mg/Nm3 as a daily average (dry gas, 273°K, 5% 

O2) (converts to 0.0035-0.011 gr/dscf at 8% O2).

Lime kilns Improved washing of lime mud in recausticizing 

can reduce the residual content of white liquor in 

the mud; more efficient washing reduces the 

concentration of sulfide in the lime mud, thus 

reducing the formation of H2S in the lime kiln 

during the reburning process.

Consider process-integrated measures before installing a 

dust removal facility (e.g., proper design of the lime kiln 

will minimize dust formation; proper adjustment of flame 

shape and position can control the extent of vaporization).

Consider fuel use; the use of different fuels also affects 

dust emissions (e.g., an oil flame results in high sodium 

vaporization from the lime).

Install ESP (prior to scrubber, if there is also a scrubber); 

dust emissions of <25 mg/Nm3 as a daily average (dry gas, 

273°K, 5-6% O2) (converts to <0.0075 gr/dscf at 10% O2) 

are achieved by well-designed, dimensioned, and 

maintained ESPs.

IV. STAPPA/ALAPCO Document

STAPPA/ALAPCO issued a document in 2006 to help state and local governments

determine the most effective ways to control emissions of fine particles (PM2.5) and PM2.5

precursors from sources in their areas as the governments prepared their State Implementation 

Plans (SIPs) for attaining or maintaining the PM2.5 standard. (STAPPA 2006) The sources 

examined in the STAPPA 2006 document included industrial and commercial boilers, electric 

generating units, pulp and paper mills, cement manufacturing plants, iron and steel

manufacturing plants, petroleum refineries, diesel engine technologies, diesel trucks and buses, 

nonroad equipment, light-duty cars and trucks, airports, marine ports, residential fuel combustion 

and electricity use, commercial cooking, and fugitive dust.

As noted in STAPPA 2006, the primary sources of PM2.5 and its SO2 and NOx precursors

from pulp and paper mills are recovery furnaces, SDTs, lime kilns and power boilers. The 

document further noted that recovery furnaces rely on an ESP or a combination of an ESP and 

wet scrubber to control PM emissions, while most PM emissions from lime kilns and SDTs are 

controlled with wet scrubbers—typically, venturi scrubbers. (STAPPA 2006)

STAPPA 2006 noted that opportunities exist to reduce current PM emissions levels by 

upgrading or replacing older wet scrubbers or ESPs. For example, on recovery furnaces, older 
8

model ESPs have collection efficiencies close to 90 percent, while newer model ESPs have 

collection efficiencies greater than 99 percent. The document stated that the cost of retrofitting a 

recovery furnace with an ESP is heavily influenced by site-specific factors; the document also 

noted that lime kilns installed in the past 10 years are likely to have an ESP control system and 

indicated that emissions from older units can be reduced by replacing wet scrubbers with ESPs.

(STAPPA 2006)

Table 5 below from STAPPA 2006 provides one estimate of the ESP retrofit costs for a

DCE recovery furnace and an NDCE recovery furnace. Capital costs range from $18.4 to $29.3 

million. Table 5 also shows estimated costs for implementing this type of replacement for lime 

kilns to meet the 0.01 gr/dscf limit for new sources set in 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM--the 

national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for chemical recovery 

combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills (STAPPA 

2006)

Table 5. Estimated ESP Retrofit Costs

EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS CAPITAL COST ANNUAL COST

NDCE recovery furnace, 3.7 MM lb BLS/d $29.3 million $1.9 million

DCE recovery furnace, 1.7 MM lb BLS/d $18.4 million $1.2 million

Lime kiln, 270 ton CaO/d $3.4 million $0.2 million

Notes: BLS = black liquor solids; CaO = reburned lime product

V. Conclusions

The RBLC and documents from the European Commission and STAPPA/ALAPCO were 

reviewed to identify emission limits and/or control measures more stringent than the current kraft 

pulping NSPS limits for TRS and PM.

For recovery furnaces, the control measures primarily included recovery furnace design 

and operation for TRS control and ESPs for PM control. TRS emission limits more stringent than 

the NSPS (3 to 4 ppm at 8 percent O2) were noted for 2 mills. Filterable PM emission limits 

more stringent than the NSPS (0.02 to 0.036 gr/dscf at 8 percent O2) were noted for 9 mills. 

For lime kilns, the control measures primarily included kiln design and operation and wet 

scrubbers for TRS control and wet scrubbers and ESPs for PM control. A TRS emission limit 

more stringent than the NSPS (6.5 ppm at 8 percent O2) was noted for 1 mill. Filterable PM 

emission limits more stringent than the NSPS (0.01 to 0.05 gr/dscf at 10 percent O2) were noted 

for 3 mills. 

For SDTs, the control measures primarily included recovery furnace design and operation 

and SDT wet scrubbers for TRS control and SDT wet scrubbers for PM control. TRS emission 

limits more stringent than the NSPS (0.03 to 0.032 lb/ton BLS) were noted for 2 mills. Filterable 

PM emission limits more stringent than the NSPS (0.133 to 0.199 lb/ton BLS) were noted for 3 

mills.
