Guideline series. Control of volatile organic compound emissions from reactor processes and distillation operations processes in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (August 1993)

Technical Report · Sun Aug 01 04:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:5624770

The report provides the necessary guidance for State and local air pollution authorities to control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from reactor processes and distillation operations in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry. Emissions are characterized and VOC control options are described. A reasonably available control technology (RACT) is defined for process vents from reactor processes and distillation operations. Information on the cost of control, environmental impacts of the controls and a 'model rule' are provided.
