OSTI ID:5694783

The Multimedia Technical Support Document presents the technical data base developed by the Industrial Technology Division of EPA for the ethanol-for-fuel point source category. Data were originally collected between 1979 and 1981 with the intent of using them as the basis for proposing effluent limitations guidelines. However, in early 1982, an EPA policy decision was made to develop guidance for the Ethanol-for-Fuel industry instead of effluent limits. The decision was made because of the decline in the growth of the industry when foreign crude oil became more available and the fuel shortage was somewhat abated. The document discusses various source of pollution generated from the ethanol-for-fuel facilities on a multimedia basis: for air, water, and solid waste. Also, various pollutants of concern associated with media waste stream are listed.
