New air quality control regulations and economics are causing the development of new devices or the optimization of existing technologies for control of toxic emissions from industrial sources. Volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) account for 47%, and non-halogenated VOCs account for 36% of these toxic emissions. For these emissions, under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) should establish maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards. MACT standards are based on best control technologies that offer the maximum degree of emission control. MACT will have important effects on specific VOC sources within the next eight years because all MACT standards are required to be promulgated by 15 November 2000, and a source subjected to MACT standards must achieve compliance within three years of promulgation of the standards. Sources that must comply with the new VOC standards are related to food processing, wastewater treatment, electronic manufacturing, petroleum refining, petrochemical manufacturing, asphalt production, pharmaceutical industry, polymer and resin manufacturing, solvent production, and dry cleaning industry. We have developed a new activated carbon cloth adsorption system to reduce the amount of VOC`s emitted.
