`Facing the New Emission Standards for Hydrochloric Acid Pickling,` presented at the SUR
Introduction Under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), U.S. EPA is required to regulate sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Primarily, HAP emissions are regulated through National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), which are codified under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 63. NESHAPs address HAP emissions from a particular process, such as ...

Achieving Air Pollution Control With Catalytic Or Thermal Oxidizers
As the full effect of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments passed by Congress in 1990 continue to impact today's industry, many manufacturing operations have become subject to stricter local, State and Federal clean air regulations. Both VOC (volatile organic compound) and HAP (hazardous air pollutant) emissions are strictly regulated since they lead to the formation of ground level ozone ...

The Area Source Mact/Gact Challenge
Dozens of new federal rules, regulating over 180 Hazardous Air Pollutants for relatively small sources, present a new and unique challenge for the air pollution profession. Over the past two decades, a large number of federal regulations have been adopted to control Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) originating from a wide range of source categories from the corner dry cleaner to petroleum ...

`Utilizing Compliance Management Solutions to Implement an Effective SSM plan,` published in Chemical Engineering Progress, August 2002
Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, mandates EPA to regulate HazardousAir Pollutants (HAPs) for a variety of source categories. The intent of these regulations is torequire affected major sources to apply the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT)as a method for minimizing HAP emissions.1 These MACT standards are also known as NationalEmission Standard for Hazardous Air ...

Total Enclosures Capture 100% of a Facility`s Air Pollution
Over the past decade the use of total enclosures to demonstrate and/or maintain capture of printing press emissions has become very popular within both the flexographic and rotogravure printing industries. Operating a printing press within a properly designed and approved total enclosure assures virtually 100% capture of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or hazardous air pollutants ...
