Section 218.411  Recordkeeping and Reporting for Lithographic Printing

 

a)         Exempt Units prior to August 1, 2010.  An owner or operator of lithographic printing lines exempt from the limitations of Section 218.407 of this Subpart prior to August 1, 2010, because of the criteria in Section 218.405(b) of this Subpart, shall comply with the following:

 

1)         Upon initial start-up of a new lithographic printing line, and upon modification of a lithographic printing line, submit a certification to the Agency that includes:

 

A)        A declaration that the source is exempt from the control requirements in Section 218.407 of this Part because of the criteria in Section 218.405(b) of this Subpart;

 

B)        Calculations that demonstrate that combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines (including inks, fountain solutions, and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) at the source never exceed 45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day) before the use of capture systems and control devices, as follows:

 

i)          To calculate daily emissions of VOM, the owner or operator shall determine the monthly emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines at the source (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) and divide this amount by the number of days during that calendar month that lithographic printing lines at the source were in operation;

 

ii)         To determine the VOM content of the inks, fountain solution additives and cleaning solvents, the tests methods and procedures set forth in Section 218.409(c) of this Subpart shall be used;

 

iii)        To determine VOM emissions from inks used on lithographic printing lines at the source, an ink emission adjustment factor of 0.05 shall be used in calculating emissions from all non-heatset inks except when using an impervious substrate, and a factor of 0.80 shall be used in calculating emissions from all heatset inks to account for VOM retention in the substrate except when using an impervious substrate.  For impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no emission adjustment factor is used.  The VOM content of the ink, as used, shall be multiplied by this factor to determine the amount of VOM emissions from the use of ink on the printing lines; and

 

iv)        To determine VOM emissions from fountain solutions and cleaning solvents used on lithographic printing lines at the source, no retention factor is used;

 

C)        Either a declaration that the source, through federally enforceable permit conditions, has limited its maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from all heatset web offset lithographic printing lines (including solvents used for cleanup operations associated with heatset web offset printing lines) at the source to no more than 90.7 Mg (100 tons) per calendar year before the application of capture systems and control devices or calculations which demonstrate that the source's total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM do not exceed 90.7 Mg/yr (100 tons/yr).  Total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM for a heatset web offset lithographic printing source is the sum of maximum theoretical emissions of VOM from each heatset web offset lithographic printing line at the source.  The following equation shall be used to calculate total maximum theoretical emissions of VOM per calendar year in the absence of air pollution control equipment for each heatset web offset lithographic printing line at the source:

B

=

Total volume of solids for all inks that can potentially be applied each year on the printing line in units of 1/yr (gal/yr).  The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the volume of each ink as applied and the amount that can potentially be applied each year on the printing line shall be described in the certification to the Agency;

 

 

 

C

=

Weight of VOM per volume of fountain solution with the highest VOM content as applied each year on the printing line in units of kg/l (lb/gal);

 

 

 

D

The total volume of fountain solution that can potentially be used each year on the printing line in units of 1/yr (gal/yr).  The method by which the owner or operator accurately calculated the volume of each fountain solution used and the amount that can potentially be used each year on the printing line shall be described in the certification to the Agency;

 

 

 

F

=

Weight of VOM per volume of material for the cleanup material or solvent with the highest VOM content as used each year on the printing line in units of kg/l (lb/gal) of such material;

 

 

 

G

=

The greatest volume of cleanup material or solvent used in any 8-hour period;

 

 

 

H

=

The highest fraction of cleanup material or solvent that is not recycled or recovered for offsite disposal during any 8-hour period;

 

 

 

R

=

The multiplier representing the amount of VOM not retained in the substrate being used.  For paper, R = 0.8.  For metal, plastic, or other impervious substrates, R = 1.0;

A)        Collect and record the following information for all lithographic printing lines at the source:

 

i)          Calculations that demonstrate that combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines (including inks, fountain solutions, and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) at the source never exceed 45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day) before the use of capture systems and control devices, determined in accordance with the calculations in subsection (b)(2)(B) of this Section;

 

ii)         The name, identification, and volume of all cleaning materials used per calendar month on lithographic printing lines at the source that do not comply with the cleaning material limitations in Section 218.407(a)(4) of this Subpart;

 

B)        Notify the Agency in writing if the combined emissions of VOM from all lithographic printing lines (including inks, fountain solutions, and solvents used for cleanup operations associated with the lithographic printing lines) at the source ever exceed 45.5 kg/day (100 lbs/day), before the use of capture systems and control devices, within 30 days after the event occurs; 

 

3)         If changing from utilization of the exclusions set forth in Section 218.405(c)(3) to opting out of such exclusions pursuant to subsection (g)(1)(B) of this Section, or if there is a change at the source such that the exclusions no longer apply, certify compliance in accordance with subsection (g)(1)(B) of this Section within 30 days after making such change, and perform all tests and calculations necessary to demonstrate that such printing lines will be in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 218.407 of this Subpart;

h)         The owner or operator shall maintain all records required by this Section at the source for a minimum period of three years and shall make all records available to the Agency upon request.

 

i)          Provisions for Calculation of Emissions from Heatset Web Offset Lithographic Printing Operations. To calculate VOM emissions from heatset web offset lithographic printing operations for purposes other than the applicability thresholds specified in Section 218.405 of this Subpart, sources may use the following emission adjustment factors (for Annual Emissions Reports or permit limits, for example):

 

1)         A factor of 0.80 may be used in calculating emissions from all heatset inks to account for VOM retention in the substrate except when using an impervious substrate.  For impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no emission adjustment factor is used.  The VOM content of the ink, as used, shall be multiplied by this factor to determine the amount of VOM emissions from the use of ink on the printing lines;

 

2)         To determine VOM emissions from fountain solutions that contain no alcohol, an emission adjustment factor may be used to account for carryover into the dryer, except when using an impervious substrate.

 

A)        The VOM emitted from the fountain solution shall be calculated using the following equation:

 

 

where:

 

VOMtot

=

Total VOM in the fountain solution;

 

 

 

VOMfs

=

VOM emitted from the fountain solution;

 

 

 

DE

=

Destruction efficiency of the control device on the associated dryer, in decimal form (i.e., 95% control is represented as 0.95).  If no control device is present, DE = 0;

 

B)        For fountain solutions that contain alcohol, impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, or non-heatset lithographic presses, no emission adjustment factor is used;

 

3)         To determine VOM emissions from cleaning solutions used on heatset web offset lithographic printing lines at the source, an emission adjustment factor of 0.50 may be used in calculating emissions from used shop towels if the VOM composite vapor pressure of each associated cleaning solution is less than 10 mmHg measured at 20oC (68oF) and the shop towels are kept in closed containers.  To determine VOM emissions from automatic blanket wash solution with a VOM composite vapor pressure of less than 10 mmHg measured at 20oC (68oF), an emission adjustment factor may be used to account for carryover into the dryer, except when using an impervious substrate.

 

A)        The VOM emitted from the automatic blanket wash solution shall be calculated using the following equation.

 

 

where:

 

VOMtot

=

Total VOM in the blanket wash;

VOMtow

=

VOM emitted from the blanket wash;

DE

=

Destruction efficiency of the control device on the associated dryer, in decimal form (i.e., 95% control is represented as 0.95).  If no control device is present, DE = 0;

 

B)        For cleaning solutions with VOM composite vapor pressures of equal to or greater than 10 mmHg measured at 20oC (68oF), for shop towels that are not kept in closed containers, and for impervious substrates such as metal or plastic, no emission adjustment factor is used.
