Table 1.

  • Emission Limits for
    Solvent Cleaning Machines with a
    Solvent/Air Interface


    Solvent cleaning machine 3-month rolling average
    monthly emission limit
    (kg/m2/month)lb/ft2/month
    Batch vapor solvent cleaning machines 150 30.7
    Existing in-line solvent cleaning machines 153 31.3
    In-line solvent cleaning machines installed after the effective date of the regulation 99 20.2

    (2) If the solvent cleaning machine is a batch vapor cleaning machine and does not have a solvent/air interface, the owner or operator shall:

    (i) Maintain a log of solvent additions and deletions for each solvent cleaning machine.

    (ii) Ensure that the emissions from each solvent cleaning machine are equal to or less than the appropriate limits as described in paragraphs (3) and (4).

    (3) For solvent cleaning machines without a solvent/air interface with a cleaning capacity that is less than or equal to 2.95 cubic meters, the emission limit shall be determined using Table 2 or the equation in paragraph (4). If the table is used, and the cleaning capacity of the cleaning machine falls between two cleaning capacity sizes, the lower of the two emission limits applies.

    (4) For cleaning machines without a solvent/air interface with a cleaning capacity that is greater than 2.95 cubic meters, the emission limit shall be determined using the following equation.

    EL = 330 (vol)0.6

    where:

    EL = the 3-month rolling average monthly emission limit (kilograms/month)

    vol = the cleaning capacity of machine (cubic meters)

    (5) Each owner or operator of a batch vapor or in-line solvent cleaning machine complying with this subsection shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable 3-month rolling average monthly emission limit on a monthly basis. If the applicable 3-month rolling average emission limit is not met, an exceedance has occurred. Exceedances shall be reported to the Department within 30 days of the determination of the exceedance.
