II. EMISSION UNIT DESCRIPTION

A. General Process Description

Dragon operates a cement manufacturing facility in Thomaston. The facility,

built in 1971, is a wet process cement kiln. Dragon has been licensed to

modernize the facility by converting to the more efficient dry cement

manufacturing process. The modernization project was authorized by air license

A-326-71-U-A/R in accordance with DEP Chapter 115.

Due to technology improvements that are part of the modernization project, the

project does not result in a significant net emission increase. DEP found that

federal New Source Review (i.e. PSD and Non attainment NSR) permits were not

required for this project. The PSD avoidance and minor modification provisions

of air license A-326-71-U-A/R are incorporated into this Part 70 license. As part

of the review for issuance of license A-326-71-U-A/R, DEP determined that the

proposed new and modified emission units, including the new cement kiln, will

meet Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements.

As part of Dragon’s application for the modernization project , refined modeling

was performed to show that emissions from Dragon’s new plant configuration, in

conjunction with other sources, would not cause or contribute to violations of

Maine’s Ambient Air Quality Standards (MAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2),

Particulate Matter (PM10), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).

The modernization project will convert the existing wet process cement kiln to a

dry process (preheater/precalciner type), convert the existing (wet) raw mill to a

pregrinding finish cement mill, and improve other ancillary operations within the
Dragon Products Company, Inc. Departmental

Knox County Findings of Fact and Order

Thomaston, Maine Part 70 Air Emission License

A-326-70-A-I 4

facility. The planned annual production rate of the new facility is approximately

766,500 tons of clinker.

The new dry cement manufacturing process can be divided into three main

sections: 1) kiln feed preparation, 2) clinker production, and 3) finish cement

operations.

1) Kiln Feed Preparation

The basic ingredients of cement include oxides of calcium, silica, aluminum,

and iron. Due to the requirement for large quantities of calcium oxide (CaO),

portland cement plants are generally located near a source of the calcareous

material (limestone, in the case of Dragon). The limestone for Dragon’s

manufacturing process is mined from quarries located at the site. Raw

limestone is transported from the quarry to a crusher and then to roller mills

which grind the material to the desired fineness. The ground material is

collected and fed to a blending system to provide the kiln with raw feed.

2) Clinker Production

Clinker production involves high temperature processing in the rotary kiln,

where necessary chemical reactions take place to produce a product referred

to as “clinker”. The kiln is a counter-current heating device, meaning material

fed into the cool upper end is drawn slowly by gravity to the hot discharge

end. The burners at the discharge end of the kiln produce a current of hot

gases that heat the clinker, the calcined material and raw materials in

succession as the hot gases pass upward toward the feed end.

In the new kiln, the clinker formation process occurs in a series of stages that

correlate with the temperature of the raw materials and in a unit called a

calciner or precalciner. These stages and precalciner are located in a structure

called a preheater tower. In the preheater, uncombined water evaporates from

raw materials. Material temperature increases to the point where calcination

begins. As calcination occurs, carbon dioxide is liberated from the carbonate

component. Sintering of the oxides occurs in the burning zone of the kiln.

The sintering (or clinkering) reactions chemically combine calcines material

with silica, alumina, and iron to form tricalium silicate (Ca3SiO5), dicalcium

silicate (Ca2SiO4), tricalcium aluminate (Ca3Al2O6), and tetracalcium

alumino-ferrite (Ca4AlFeO7). Following the sintering reactions, clinker is

quickly cooled by contact with ambient air. Some heat transferred to the

cooler air is recouped back into the process.

3) Finish Cement Operations

The cooled clinker is stored prior to being sent to the finishing mills where it

is combined with gypsum and other additives. The clinker and gypsum are

ground to a fine, homogenous powder in a series of ball mills. The finished

portland cement is then transferred to the cement storage silos prior to

shipment off-site.

B. New Portland Cement Kiln System

The new kiln has a nominal design heat input of 440 MMBtu/hr firing the

following fuels:

1. A coal/coke blend of fuel,

2. #2-#4 fuel oil blend,

3. Specification and Non-Specification waste oil, and

4. Whole tires and tire chips.

And may use the following raw materials:

1. Petroleum-contaminated soils,

2. Landfill leachate,

3. Petroleum-contaminated water,

4. Fly ash,

5. Kraft pulp mill green liquor dregs,

6. Lime mud, and lime wastes (PCC Grit)

7. Slaker grit, and

8. Foundry Sand.

Dragon may also utilize alternate fuels and raw materials which meet the

requirements of Condition 14(C) of this license.

Particulate emissions in the exhaust from the kiln and alkali bypass are controlled

by a fabric filter baghouse.

The previously licensed NOx RACT requirements for Dragon’s existing wet

process cement kiln shall not apply to the new kiln system. The new kiln system

is subject to more stringent BACT requirements.

Streamlining

1. 40 CFR Part 63.1343 (MACT) and MEDEP Chapter 105 regulate particulate

matter (PM) emission limits from the new cement kiln system. However, Best

Available Control Technology (BACT) in license A-326-71-U-A/R and the

MACT limit in 40 CFR Part 63.1343 are more stringent than Chapter 105 so

that only the BACT and MACT limits identified in Condition 14(F) in the

Order section of this license are applicable.

2. Chapter 101 is applicable for visible emissions. However, 40 CFR Part

63.1343 (MACT) is more stringent so that only the MACT limit identified in

Condition 14(H) in the Order section of this license is applicable. During

periods of kiln preheat and start up, condensation in the kiln exhaust causes

false positive readings by the opacity monitor. For this reason, when the

exhaust, as measured at the kiln ID fan, is less than 250 o

F, monitored opacity

readings greater than 20% as measured on a six (6) minute block average

basis are not considered an excess emission.

3. 40 CFR Part 63.1350(c) and Chapter 117 require the use of Continuous

Opacity Monitors (COM). However, Chapter 117 is at least as stringent as 40

CFR Part 63.1350(c) so that only the Chapter 117 requirement is identified in

the Order section of this license.

4. 40 CFR Part 63.8 and Chapter 117 detail the sampling frequency of the CEM

and COM. However, Chapter 117 is at least as stringent as 40 CFR Part 63.8

so that only the Chapter 117 requirement is identified in the Order section of

this license

Periodic Monitoring

The existing kiln is rated with a nominal heat input of 306 MMBtu/hr and is

authorized to use one or a combination of the following as fuel:

1. A coal/coke blend of fuel,

2. #2 fuel oil,

3. #4 fuel oil,

4. Specification and Non-Specification waste oil, and

5. Whole tires and tire chips.

In addition to the basic raw materials used in the manufacture of clinker (sources

of calcium, iron, silica, and alumina), Dragon may also use one or a combination

of the following raw materials in the production of clinker:

1. Petroleum-contaminated soils,

2. Landfill leachate,

3. Petroleum-contaminated water,

4. Fly ash,

5. Kraft pulp mill green liquor dregs,

6. Lime mud, and lime wastes (PCC Grit)

7. Slaker grit, and

8. Foundry Sand.

Dragon may also utilize alternate fuels and raw materials which meet the

requirements of Special Condition 14(C) of the license.

Particulate emissions on the existing Kiln are controlled by a fabric filter

baghouse referred to as the kiln baghouse

NOx RACT for the existing kiln was previously determined to be: improvements

to the kiln’s chain hanging pattern, revisions to the clinker cooler, firing a blend

of coal and petroleum coke as the primary fuel source, and low NOx burners.

informational purposes only.

H. Stockpile and Roadway Fugitive Emissions

Fugitive particulate matter sources at Dragon includes material stockpiles and

roadways.

Periodic Monitoring

Based on best management practices, fugitive emission sources should not exceed

the opacity limits. Therefore, periodic monitoring for opacity in the form of

visible emission is not required. However, neither the EPA nor the DEP is

precluded from performing its own testing and may take enforcement action for

any violations discovered.

I. Annual Emission

Dragon has the following annual emissions, based on 8,760 hours of kiln, heater

III.AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS

As part of Dragon’s application for the modernization of the cement plant, refined

Modeling was performed to show that emissions from Dragon, in conjunction with

other sources, would not cause or contribute to violations of Maine’s Ambient Air

Quality Standards (MAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2), Particulate Matter (PM10),

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO).

It was determined by MEDEP-BAQ that Dragon is not increment consuming.

Therefore, neither Class I nor Class II increment analysis was performed. Dragon is a

major source that was permitted for a minor modification in license A-326-71-U-A/R.

Since, the modernization project is a minor modification, MEDEP-BAQ determined

that an evaluation of Class I increment, visibility and deposition is not required.

The modeling is summarized in license A-326-71-U-A/R. Based on the results of the

model, MEDEP-BAQ determined that the Dragon facility (as modernized) will not

cause or contribute to violations of any SO2, PM10, NO2, and CO averaging period

MAAQS or Class I or Class II increments.

ORDER

Based on the above Findings and subject to conditions listed below, the Department

concludes that emissions from this sources:

• will receive Best Practical Treatment;

• will not violate applicable emissions standards

• will not violate applicable ambient air quality standards in conjunction

with emissions from other sources.

The Department hereby grants the Part 70 License A-326-70-A-I pursuant to MEDEP

Chapter 140 and the preconstruction permitting requirements of MEDEP Chapter 115

and subject to the standard and special conditions below.

All federally enforceable and State-only enforceable conditions in existing air licenses

previously issued to Dragon pursuant to the Department’s preconstruction permitting
