SUBJECT: Baseline Emission Estimates for 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 regulated hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) is listed in CAA section 112(b). In 

order to assess the effects of regulatory requirements on these HAPs, 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. As a part of this rulemaking, each PVC 

production facility was required to provide responses to an information collection that included a 

survey, stack testing and stripped resin sampling under the authority of CAA section 114. These 

data were used to estimate baseline emissions.

This memorandum describes the development of 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 hazardous 

air pollutants (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 three runs and the facilities were required to 

provide PVC production rate, the exhaust gas flow rate and oxygen concentration during testing. 

Some of the facilities are co-located with other manufacturing process such as vinyl chloride 

monomer and ethylene dichloride and also share a common control device. Most of the facilities 

segregated the PVC production streams during testing, but a few facilities tested with streams 

from other manufacturing sources which may account for higher emissions than if just PVC 

production were being conducted.
2

Each facility, with the exception of CertainTeed was required to conduct stripped resin 

sampling for 30 days as a part of the CAA section 114 information collection (section 114). The 

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. 

2.0 Data Sources

The data sources used in the baseline emissions analysis are described in a separate 

memo.

3.0 Methodology for Estimating Baseline Emissions

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

category: process vents, resin residuals, 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, 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 section 114 , which included. HAP concentrations, 

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

described in a separate memo.2

Process vent test results from Shintech-Plaquemine were not used in the analysis because 

concentrations in the inlet to the thermal oxidizer were reported to be less than the outlet 

concentration. Baseline emissions from this facility were calculated using the flow rates reported 

by Shintech Plaquemine and the thermal oxidizer outlet concentrations from the Shintech Addis 

facility. Information provided by the company indicates the Addis facility is similar to the 

Plaquemine facility in terms of resin produced, equipment used, and process layout and would be 

the best source for using a similar emission profile without potential errors.

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 
3

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 each test method for each 

facility. The average test method oxygen concentrations were then averaged to determine an 

overall average oxygen concentration for each facility’s process vent exhaust gas stream. 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; 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, 

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 basis3. The concentrations of the 17 congeners were summed to obtain the total 

CDD/CDF TEQ 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 was not included in the total organic HAP baseline 

estimate, as HCl is not an organic compound. 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

HAP emissions from vents associated with processes downstream of the resin stripper are 

dependent on the concentration of HAP 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 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. The manufacture 

of bulk resins does not require the use of a resin dryer as the product is a solid and not a slurry

after the polymerization process. For bulk resin facilities, there may be emissions downstream of 

the polymerization reactors, but these emissions would be particulate emissions from solids 

handling operations and would be negligible. For all non-bulk PVC facilities, baseline emissions 

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

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. As discussed above for emissions from bulk resin production facilities, the baseline 

emissions from stripped resins for CertainTeed – Lake Charles were assumed to be zero.

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. One facility that produces 

dispersion resin and one facility that produces suspension resin did not report a resin stream flow 

rate in their survey response. For these two facilities, the average resin stream flow rate from the 

other facilities in the same subcategory was assumed. The residual VC and total HAP 

concentrations in the stripped resin for each facility that were calculated for the MACT floor 

analysis2were also used with the resin flow rate to estimate the annual mass emissions using

Equation 5, found in Appendix A.

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 HAP baseline emissions from storage vessels were provided by each facility 

on Form O of the section 114 survey responses.

1

Total HAP were 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 
5

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 HAP baseline emissions from heat exchange systems were calculated for 

each facility by extracting data from survey form’s C-1-A, D, and K-1-C the section 114. Only 

one facility provided emissions estimates of VC and other volatile organic compounds (VOC)

from cooling towers. The average VC emissions per average cooling tower recirculation rate 

and the average VOC emissions per average cooling tower recirculation rate were calculated

using the data reported by the facility to estimate the emissions from all other cooling towers. 

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 average VC and other VOC emission factors to obtain 

estimated VC and other VOC emissions for each cooling tower. The VC and other VOC 

emissions were added to obtain a total HAP estimate for each cooling tower. VC and total HAP 

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 the control 

effectiveness associated with leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs used by each facility to 

uncontrolled emissions estimated for each facility. Emissions were calculated on an equipment 

basis (e.g., valves, pumps, compressors, open-ended lines, sampling connections, pressure relief 

devices, connectors) and then summed over all equipment to calculate facility emissions.

EPA’s 1995 Protocol for Equipment Leak Emission Estimates4 (i.e., Protocol) provides 

control efficiency estimates on an equipment basis based on the requirements of the LDAR 

program for which a facility complies. The LDAR program requirements include monitoring 

frequency (monthly, quarterly, etc), leak definition (10,000 ppm, 500 ppm, etc), and equipment 

specifications (caps for open-ended lines, non-leaking equipment, etc). Data provided in survey 

responses showed that PVC facilities comply with the requirements of 40 CFR part 61 Subpart F 

(which references the equipment leak requirements of 40 CFR part 60 Subpart V), or the 

requirements in 40 CFR part 63 Subpart UU. These two standards have similar requirements for 

most equipment. The primary difference is the monitoring frequency and leak definitions for 

valves and pumps, with Subpart UU having more stringent requirements for these components. 

Uncontrolled emissions are also calculated using procedures documented in the Protocol. 

Uncontrolled emissions are calculated by multiplying the average uncontrolled emission factors 

for each piece of equipment (in lbs VOC emitted/component/hour), equipment counts at each 
6

facility, and the hours of operation. The hours of operation were assumed to be 8400 for this 

analysis, which allows for 2 weeks downtime. The uncontrolled emission factors associated with 

chemical manufacturing processes were obtained from the Protocol. Information was not 

collected on the compounds in PVC process streams to determine speciation profiles from 

equipment leak emissions. However, almost all the compounds in process lines at PVC facilities 

are HAPs (vinyl chloride, ethylene dichloride, etc). Consequently, the emissions are also 

expected to be all or a majority of HAPs. Therefore, the estimated VOC emitted was considered 

for this analysis to be total organic HAP. 

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

section 114 . Consequently, model equipment counts developed by EPA for other chemical 

facilities were used in this analysis.5 The model equipment counts are associated with 3 

categories of 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. 

For very small facilities, such as the one synthetic minor facility (CertainTeed - Lake Charles) 

that also produces resin in a different process than all the other PVC facilities (bulk resin 

production), this assumption may overestimate emissions, and equipment counts from a low 

complexity process may be more appropriate. Consequently, uncontrolled emissions (and 

subsequent baseline emissions) were calculated using equipment counts for a low complexity

facility. 

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 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 vinyl chloride, total VOC, 

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

addition to vinyl chloride and total VOC. Estimates for total HAP emissions for each facility

were calculated as the sum of all reported HAP emissions. Emission factors for vinyl chloride 

and for methanol were calculated based on the provided data and were used to estimate vinyl 

chloride and total 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 vinyl 

chloride and total HAP were calculated. 

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

Baseline wastewater generation of VC and total 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 HAP emissions in each wastewater stream was calculated using Equation 6, found in 

Appendix A.

To estimate the VC and total 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 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. The CertainTeed - Lake Charles facility was excluded from the average 

calculation because of the anhydrous nature of the bulk process. Since a relatively small amount 

of water is used in the production of bulk resin, inclusion in the average would decrease the 

estimation of wastewater generated by unknown suspension and dispersion facilities. 

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

HAP concentrations in each wastewater category. Therefore, it was necessary to estimate the 

average annual VC and total HAP concentration for the remainder of the facilities. All 
8

categorized data provided by industry were used to develop average factors except for 

maintenance wastewater. Of the three facilities that reported VC and total HAP concentrations 

for maintenance wastewater, Shintech-Freeport reported a low value for total HAP compared to 

the other 2 facilities. This low value resulted in an average total HAP concentration less that the 

average vinyl chloride concentration for maintenance wastewater. Since total HAP includes VC, 

the average total HAP concentration must be equal to or greater than the average VC 

concentration. Therefore, the low value was excluded from the total HAP average. 

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 capacity rating for 

each facility that did not report adequate wastewater data. Once the total amount of wastewater 

generated was calculated for each facility, the total amount of VC and total HAP were estimated 

by multiplying the average factors by the estimated wastewater generation. 

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

estimation for wastewater are presented in Section 4.0.
