Final best demonstrated available technology (BDAT) background document for K086 (ink-formulation-equipment cleaning wastes). Volume 7

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6606790
In today's rule, EPA is adopting a modified approach for the November 22, 1989, proposed rule (54 FR 48372) revisions for K086 (solvent wash) including the addition of seven new constituents for regulation and to revise the August 17, 1988, promulgated treatment standards for them. The proposed revisions relied exclusively on incineration performance data for the development of treatment standards. In response to comments, EPA modified and developed the proposed revisions to include treatment standards based on residuals generated from various wastewater treatment processes rather than incineration scrubber waters (Sections 4 through 7 contain a discussion of these additional data). The final revisions for K086 (solvent washes) would apply to all forms of K086 wastewaters and nonwastewaters (Section 4 contains detailed information regarding these revisions). The background document presents the additional data and analyses that are the support for the promulgated K086 treatment standards. The background document is an addendum to the August 1988 background document for K086 solvent wash (USEPA 1988a).
