developed to represent facilities in these three markets and used to
compute the impact of the compliance costs on the industry.
Section 9.2.3 presents an analysis of the market conditions for
each of the three magnetic tape markets. Model plant parameters are
developed in Section 9.2.4 and baseline costs explained. Section 9.2.5
discusses the selection of regulatory alternatives to be included in
the analysis. In Section 9.2.6 estimates of the economic impacts of
the NSPS are provided for each of the three markets. The final Section
9.2.7 discusses the ability of firms to afford the necessary capital
expenditures associated with the NSPS.
9.2.2 Summary
An NSPS regulation will increase the capital and operating costs
for new facilities in the magnetic tape industry relative to existing
magnetic tape production facilities because additional control equip-
ment will have to be installed. As a result, certain changes can be
expected in the three magnetic tape markets (audio, video, and computer
recording media products).
Little or no growth is forecast for the audio tape market (as
discussed in Section 9.1.6.), so it can be assumed that additional
lines will not be added at existing facilities nor will new facilities
be built. Therefore, the proposed NSPS will not affect the audio tape
market. However, in the event that a new source enters the market,
production costs are likely to increase from less than 1 percent
to 2.69 percent depending upon the size of the operation and type of
installed control device. At the retail level these additional produc-
tion costs are likely to boost product prices from 0.2 percent to 0.5
percent if all costs are passed forward. These increases are minimal
and would have little impact on production, consumption, or employment
in the industry.
The video tape market, however, is growing at a significant rate;
21 new lines for the production of both video and computer recording
media products are expected over the next 5 years. Because foreign
competition is a major factor in this market, it is expected that most
of the compliance costs will be absorbed by the industry. Production
cost increases as a result of the NSPS would range from 0 to 0.5
percent depending upon the regulatory alternative selected, the size of
the line and the initial baseline. When added to other production and
marketing costs including a reasonable profit margin, the impact of the
NSPS on retail prices is negligible, ranging from 0.2 to 0.4 percent.
The computer recording media market is also in a high growth stage
but foreign competition is not significant at present. Therefore,
manufacturers are expected to pass along most or all of the cost
increases to the consumer. The increases in production costs range
from 0 to 0.27 percent depending upon the regulatory alternative and
the size of the line. The additional production costs are likely to
have no impact on retail prices. Foreign competition will become
9-30
-------
significant by the mid-to-late 1980's, forcing manufacturers to start
absorbing the control costs.91 Again, because the costs are relatively
small, production, consumption, and employment should not be affected.
In summary, the costs of compliance for all regulatory alternatives
appear to be feasible without any significant adverse economic impact
on most firms in the magnetic tape industry. Most new capacity is
likely to be added by well established existing firms in the industry,
which are less likely to suffer from financial hardship in complying
with the standard.
9.2.3 Market Analysis
The impacts of the proposed NSPS can be judged by examining the
effects on the individual markets for magnetic tape products. The
three types of magnetic tape products exist in different markets,
implying that the audio, video and computer recording media markets
will behave in different ways as a result of the NSPS. Different types
of market impacts are evaluated in this analysis. One is the effect on
costs at the manufacturing level and the resultant effect on consumers
due to a retail price change. Another type of impact is the effect on
the quantity of magnetic tape products produced and consumed in the
U.S. In a competitive industry, an increase in prices would result in
some degree of decreased demand depending upon the price elasticity of
demand. Therefore, output and consumption will be affected to a greater
or lesser degree as a result of a change in prices and the demand
elasticities of the product. Also, the additional costs that magnetic
tape plant facilities will incur to implement the NSPS may influence
companies' decisions to build new plants or increase production by
adding additional lines. If new plant investment or increased produc-
tion is curtailed, industry employment will fall below what it would
have been without the regulation. The following subsections describe
the impacts that will occur in each of the three magnetic tape markets.
9.2.3.1 Audio tape market. The audio tape market has experienced
little growth since 1977.Except for audio cassettes, most segments of
this market have not grown or have declined. Minimal growth, together
with strong foreign competition, particularly from Japan, is expected
to discourage any additional production lines or new facilities for the
production of audio tape in the foreseeable future.
9.2.3.2 Video tape market. In contrast, the video tape market is
growing at a rapid rate; it is anticipated that new lines will have to
be built to meet the growing demand. The proposed NSPS will impose
additional costs on companies that build new lines, costs that will
either be passed forward to the consumer or absorbed by the company,
depending upon market conditions. These costs can be measured by
computing the annualized costs of the NSPS as a percent of total costs.
The results of this computatioa are discussed in Section 9.2.6.2.
The video tape market is characterized by significant foreign
competition. In 1981, close to 60 percent of total worldwide video
9-31
-------
tape production was Japanese.31 It is unlikely, then, that U.S.
producers would pass the control costs forward in the form of a price
increase because they would lose their share of the world market.
Since foreign companies will not be affected by the NSPS or a comparable
regulation, it can be expected that U.S. companies will either absorb
the compliance costs or delay their entry into the market until such
time that the price of tape products increases sufficiently to cover
the costs of compliance. Due to the increasing demand in the market,
prices will probably remain high during the next few years and firms
will likely proceed with expansion plans while absorbing some of the
compliance costs. The impact of absorbing the compliance costs is not
significant and is discussed in Section 9.2.6.2. If some domestic
companies do delay their expansion plans, then it can be expected that
foreign companies will increase production to fill the gap. This
increase in imports would result in a negative effect on U.S. balance
of payments. In this situation there would be a slight reduction in
the quantity produced in the U.S. but little impact on worldwide
consumption of video tape products.
9.2.3.3 Computer recording media market. The computer recording
media market is also experiencing significant growth, particularly the
flexible disk segment of the market. In order to meet the anticipated
demand, additional lines will have to be built and compliance costs
either passed forward or absorbed. The computer recording media market
is different than the video tape market in that foreign competition
does not now play as large a role. Most computer tape is produced in
the U.S., and at the present time, the U.S. is also the major producer
of flexible disks. Since the U.S. has a major share of the market and
demand is relatively inelastic, it is expected that a small price
increase could be passed forward to consumers without any significant
impact on the quantity sold.
In contrast to the current situation of little foreign competition,
by the mid-to-late 1980's Japan is expected to capture a significant
share (approximately 25 percent) of the flexible disk market. 91
Therefore, it is more likely that a greater proportion of the compliance
costs are likely to be absorbed by domestic producers as new facilities
are built because of increased foreign competition. It is unlikely
that expansion plans would be delayed because: (1) such a delay would
result in further erosion of the market position of domestic producers,
and (2) the costs are not significant. A delay on the part of domestic
producers to expand would result in foreign companies increasing their
production, leading to greater importation by the U.S.
9.2.4 Baseline Parameters
9.2.4.1 Model Plant Parameters. In order to evaluate the impacts
of the proposed standard on each of the three markets, it is helpful to
develop models of typical facilities in the magnetic tape industry and
evaluate the impact on them. The model plants incorporate representa-
tive characteristics of expected new lines. Although there are three
distinct markets in the magnetic tape industry, the manufacturing
9-32
-------
process is the same for audio, video, and computer recording media
products and one coating line can be used to produce all types of tape
products. However, there are differences in the sizes of coating lines
that are used in the industry. In addition, the cost of manufacturing
audio, video, and computer recording media products does vary with the
product because of differences in raw material costs and costs of
quality control procedures. These differences in costs are discussed in
the following section.
Three model line sizes (research, small, and typical) have been
selected to characterize the small and typical manufacturing lines and
the research coating operations expected to be constructed in the near
future. Production costs are given in Table 9-14. Further details of
the model plants are provided in Chapter 6.
In actuality, plants produce various combinations of magnetic
tape products. For example, some plants manufacture all three prod-
ucts (audio, video, and computer recording media) while others manufac-
ture different types of computer recording media products (i.e., reel
tape, flexible disks, etc.). Clearly it is not possible to develop
models for all possible combinations. Therefore, to simplify the
analysis, three model lines are used, and it is assumed that each line
produces a different product (audio tape, video tape, and flexible
disks).
Each product line is also specified by size (small and typical).
The research line is not included in the analysis because it is used
for experimental purposes rather than for the production of marketable
products. It can be expected that because the additional costs necessi-
tated by the NSPS for a research line are relatively small, they will
be absorbed by the company. Therefore, a total of six model plants are
included in the analysis (i.e., small and typical lines for each of the
three products).
9.2.4.2 Cost Estimation. In order to measure the impacts of the
standard on the model lines it is necessary to determine the preregula-
tion as well as the post regulation costs on a model line basis. The
cost figure used represents the cost of the coated tape at the comple-
tion of the coating process. Further processing of the tape into
finished products (i.e., cassettes, reel tapes, flexible disks, etc.)
requires additional manufacturing, marketing, and administrative costs.
These costs do not affect the baseline process so the cost figure used
represents only the value of the intermediate product at the end of the
coating line.
It was very difficult to obtain financial information from manu-
facturing facilities because of the secretive nature of the industry.
However, estimates of the cost per square meter to produce good quality
audio tape were obtained from industry sources and averaged in order to
present one representative cost figure.

-------
The preregulation cost per square foot to produce coated tape are
shown in Table 9-14. Video and computer tapes are more expensive to
produce than audio tape because of higher raw material costs and more
stringent quality control standards. Confidential industry sources
estimate that the cost to produce video tape is about five times that
of audio tape and the cost to produce computer recording media is about
twice that of video tape.
The cost per square foot is then multiplied by the coating line
output. Assuming that 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) of film on both sides is
discarded, then for example, 12.7 cm (five in.) rather than 15.2 cm
(six in.) is used for tape width on the small line. These baseline
parameters are shown in Table 9-14.
9.2.5 Selection of Regulatory Alternatives
The regulatory alternatives presented in Chapter 6 provide for
increasing levels of control for the coating and mix room areas.
Alternatives II and III control only the mix room while the remaining
alternatives control either the coating operation alone or the coating
and mix room. The regulatory alternatives are summarized in Table
9-15. All regulatory alternatives include the same level of control of
emissions from the solvent storage tanks except for the baseline
alternatives (I and IV). Although 14 alternatives are presented, in
effect many more options would have to be evaluated if all of the
control device options for each alternative were included in the
analysis. For example, for Regulatory Alternative VIII, four possible
control technologies can be used for the typical plant: fixed-bed
carbon adsorbers; fluidized-bed carbon adsorbers; condensation system
(solvent blend); and condensation system (cyclohexanone only). For
several other regulatory alternatives there are also multiple options.
Rather than examining all the options, only the common fixed-bed carbon
adsorber is evaluated for those alternatives where multiple options
exist because it is the system most often used and the general applic-
ability of condensation systems is uncertain. It should also be noted
that the compliance costs do not vary with the type of tape produced
because the manufacturing process is the same for each product. The
compliance costs vary with the level of pollution control, the type of
control device, and the size of the coating line.
The volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations in States with
magnetic tape coating facilities vary from requiring no control in
ozone attainment areas to a required level of control in nonattainment
areas for ozone. Therefore, two baseline levels for the coating
operation are provided: Regulatory Alternative I provides for no
controls and Alternative IV provides the necessary controls to meet the
VOC requirement in ozone nonattainment areas. Most facilities in the
industry are known to have installed at least the level of control
associated with Baseline Alternative IV because the control devices
offer the added benefit of recovering solvents. Therefore, because of
the economic incentive of recovering solvents for reuse, most new
facilities could be expected to install control devices as well.

Therefore, the baseline level of control used in the analysis is
Regulatory Alternative IV. However, for the regulatory alternatives
that control only the mix room and solvent storage tanks (II and III)
the baseline used for comparison is Regulatory Alternative I (no
control).
Tables 9-16 and 9-17 provide the total capital and total annualized
control costs and the incremental capital and annualized control costs
for each regulatory alternative for the small and typical model plants.
The incremental cost is the difference between each regulatory alterna-
tive and the baseline. (See Tables 8-14 and 8-15 for baseline costs).
For some regulatory alternatives the incremental cost of moving to
higher levels of control may be negative, reflecting the existence of
lower annualized costs for those alternatives which remove a larger
proportion of the pollutant than that represented by the baseline.
Where such negative incremental costs do occur in the tables they can
be attributed to the increased profits from the recovery of solvents
which in turn reduce the total and annualized costs. For those cases
where the annualized control costs are less than the baseline, the
incremental costs are assumed to be zero even though costs could have
decreased.
9.2.6 Economic Impact Estimates
Compliance costs will either be passed forward or absorbed by the
industry depending upon market conditions. The percentage change of
the cost increase is computed by dividing the incremental annualized
costs of each regulatory alternative by the pre-NSPS total costs for
each model line size. These pre-NSPS costs are shown in Table 9-14.
The incremental cost is the difference between the annualized cost of
each regulatory alternative and the baseline annualized costs. This
computation permits an analysis of the impact of each regulatory
alternative compared to the present level of control. The result
represents the percentage changes in cost caused by the various regula-
tory alternatives. Table 9-18 presents the results of the cost increase
calculations for the three product types.
The cost analysis can be carried one step further by examining the
impact on retail prices. This analysis shows the effects of the
standards, if any, on the consumer prices of magnetic tape products.
The maximum consumer impact can be calculated by using the largest cost
increase for each product and computing the impact on the retail prices
shown in Table 9-11. The results of these calculations are shown in
Tables 9-19 through 9-21. For example, the largest cost increase for
flexible disks is 0.27 percent. Therefore, the increase in cost per
square meter of coated tape is $4.52 (cost to produce flexible disks) x
0.27 percent, or $0.026. Using a single-sided 13.3-cm (5-1/4 in.)
flexible disk as the representative product, there are 0.0139 m2 of
tape per unit. The total increase in cost for the flexible disk is
0.0139 x $0.026, or $0.00017. This amount is added to the high retail
price of the disk to arrive at the post control retail price of $3.38,
as shown in Table 9-21. The following three sections discuss the

significance of the cost and retail price increases for each of the
three magnetic tape markets as well as other market impacts.
9.2.6.1 Audio Tape Market. Little growth is anticipated in the
audio tape market.No new 1ines or plants are expected to be built in
this market during the next 5 years. The NSPS will not affect produc-
tion and consumption of audio tape products or increase retail prices;
the cost increases shown in Table 9-18 and retail price increases shown
in Table 9-19 would occur only if new facilities were built. These
small increases would have little effect, as they would most likely be
absorbed by the industry.
9.2.6.2 Video Tape Market. As a result of the NSPS, new facil-
ities will be faced with the cost increases shown in Table 9-18. If
the plants pass forward the costs of the NSPS, then consumers will pay
slightly more for a video cassette, as shown in Table 9-20. However,
due to the great number of foreign firms in the video tape market, it
is unlikely that the costs can be passed forward. More likely they
will be absorbed by the industry. Since the production cost increases
range from 0 to 0.54 percent and since there are at present variations
in costs among the firms in the industry, the NSPS should not cause
greater differences in the cost structure than those that already exist
between established and new firms or between domestic and foreign
firms. In other words, the existing differences in cost structures
will not widen. An additional 21 new production lines for video and
computer recording media products are expected over the next 5 years.
This forecast should not change as a result of the NSPS because the
impacts are very small. Nor will the NSPS cause a change in production
or consumption of video tape products.
9.2.6.3 Computer Recording Media Market. Since foreign competi-
tion does not play as prominent a role in this market, it can be
expected that initially cost increases will be passed forward completely
as argued above in Section 9.2.3.3. A 0.27 percent increase in manufac-
turing costs for coated tape will probably have no effect on retail
prices, as shown in Table 9-21. The NSPS will have no effect on the
expansion plans of these firms. An additional 21 production lines for
video and computer recording media products are forecasted over the
next 5 years. However, by the mid-or-late 1980's, Japanese competition
will become significant in the flexible disk market. At that time the
U.S. industry will either have to absorb the compliance costs or delay
their expansion plans. The industry is not likely to choose the second
option because it would result in loss of market share. Maintaining or
increasing market share is crucial in this highly competitive industry.
The industry can be expected to absorb the costs, which will have
little impact because the costs are relatively small. There will also
be little impact on the production or consumption of computer recording
media products.
9.2.7 Capital Availability
The remaining issue to be discussed is the manufacturers' ability
to raise capital in order to purchase the necessary pollution control

equipment. Debt financing is usually the preferred method to finance
pollution control equipment, so it is helpful to look at the industry's
current levels of debt in comparison with the capital costs of the
NSPS.
Many of the companies in the industry are large, multinational
companies such as IBM, BASF, Memorex, Sony, 3M, and others. These
companies each have a minimum of several hundred million dollars of
long-term debt. Even the most costly regulatory alternative, approxi-
mately $368,000 per company, as shown in Table 9-16 would not increase
these companies' debt by more than one percent each. Also, medium-sized
companies, such as Dysan, Xidex, Verbatim, and Certron Corp., are not
likely to experience serious capital availability problems.
9.3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The previous section has described how the magnetic tape produc-
ing segment of the national economy might be affected by the NSPS. In
this section the scope of the analysis is expanded so that the probabil-
ity of broader economic effects might be assessed. Among the issues
examined are those related to employment, regional effects, and the
potential for adverse impacts upon small businesses.
9.3.1 Executive Order 12291
This section addresses those tests of macroeconomic impact pre-
sented in Executive Order 12291 to determine whether or not a detailed
regulatory analysis is required; that is, whether this regulation can
be expected to produce any of the following impacts:
1. An annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more as
measured by the fifth year annualized control cost;
2. A major increase in costs or prices for consumers; individual
industries; Federal, State, or local government agencies; or
geographic regions; and
3. Significant adverse effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of
U.S.-based enterprises to compete with foreign-based enter-
prised in domestic or export markets.
9.3.1.1 Fifth Year Annualized Control Costs. It is projected
that there will be 21 new lines constructed during the next 5 years for
the manufacture of video and computer recording media products.
Assuming that the most costly regulatory alternative is chosen, the
total fifth year annualized costs are approximately $2.2 million.
Clearly this figure is well below the $100 million level.
9.3.1.2 Price Increases. As calculated in Section 9.2.6, no
major cost or price increases will result from the standard. The
9-45
-------
largest cost increase associated with the greatest level of control is
0.54 percent for the manufacture of video tape which would cause a 0.4
percent retail that the most costly regulatory alternative is chosen,
the total fifth year annualized costs are approximately $2.2 million.
Clearly this figure is well below the $100 million level.
9.3.1.2 Price Increases. As calculated in Section 9.2.6, no
major cost or price increases will result from the standard. The
largest cost increase associated with the greatest level of control is
0.54 percent for the manufacture of video tape which would cause a 0.4
percent retail price increase at most. There will be no effect of the
standard on audio tape prices.
9.3.1.3 Regional Effects, Employment and Productivity. The 29
facilities of the magnetic tape industry are located in 15 States, with
34 percent of the industry in California. No adverse impacts are
expected in any State as a result of the regulation. Also, the minimal
impacts of the standard are not expected to effect employment levels or
productivity in the industry.
9.3.2 Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA) requires that the
economic impact assessment determine whether the regulation is likely
to have a significant impact on small businesses and whether a substan-
tial number of small businesses will experience significant impacts.
Both measures must be met to require an analysis; that is, there must
be both significant impact and a substantial number of small businesses.
If either measure is not met, then no analysis is required. The EPA
defines a "substantial number" of small businesses in an industry as 20
percent of the total number of firms in the industry, and defines
"significant impact" as meeting at least one of these three tests: 1)
prices for small entities rise 5 percent or more, assuming costs are
not passed onto consumers; (2) annualized investment costs for pollution
control are greater than 20 percent of total capital spending; or (3)
costs as a percent of sales for small firms are ten percent greater
than costs as a percent of sales for large firms.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) definition of a small
business for SIC codes 3573 and 3679 is a firm that employs 500 persons
or less. Of the 23 companies in the magnetic tape industry, 17 can be
considered medium or large businesses. The other 6 are privately
owned and little information is available concerning their operations,
but five of them could possibly be considered small businesses. It
should be noted that the distinction between large and small plants or
firms is likely to be related to the number of lines in the facility,
not the size of the lines. A small plant may have a large line while a
large plant could have several small lines. Therefore, a small firm
that has a large line may be able to take advantage of the lower costs
of controls that are associated with some of the regulatory alternatives
for the larger line.
9-46
-------
Growth in the industry is expected to take the form of existing
companies adding additional lines as opposed to new companies entering
the industry. The economic impact analysis (Section 9.2) has shown that
there will be minimal adverse impacts on the existing companies in the
magnetic tape industry as a result of the NSPS. If new (i.e., small)
companies enter the industry it is likely that they will be affected by
the NSPS to a greater degree than larger companies, because of the
greater relative capital requirements and the higher control costs per
unit of product for a small company. However, a significant impact is
not anticipated.

EVOLUTION OF THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION DOCUMENT
The purpose of this study was to develop a basis for supporting
proposed new source performance standards (NSPS) for the magnetic tape
coating industry. To accomplish the objectives of this program technical
data were acquired on the following aspects of the magnetic tape coating
industry: (1) solvent storage tanks, mix preparation equipment, and
coating operations; (2) the release and controllability of organic
emissions into the atmosphere by these sources; and (3) the types and costs
of demonstrated emission control technologies. The bulk of the information
was gathered from the following sources:
Open technical literature
Canvassing of State, regional, and local air pollution control
agencies

APPENDIX C—EMISSION SOURCE TEST DATA
-------
APPENDIX C
Emission Source Test Data
The emission source test data presented here were obtained from
(1) EPA-sponsored testing, (2) magnetic tape Industry data on carbon
adsorbers, (3) State compliance tests, and (4) EPA-sponsored testing for a
related Industry. The following sections discuss these data.
C.I DATA FROM EPA-SPONSORED TESTS ON CARBON ADSORBER RECOVERY
EFFICIENCIES
Tests were conducted at two magnetic tape coating plants to determine
the solvent recovery efficiencies of the fixed-bed carbon adsorbers. At
Plant 2, the carbon adsorption system recovers a mixture of toluene and
tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent from the tape coating process. The system
features three annular carbon beds and processes 4.6 normal cubic meters
per second (Nm /s) (9,800 standard cubic feet per minute [scfm]) of
solvent-laden air (SLA). The three beds repetitively undergo adsorption
and desorptlon 1n a staggered sequence that is controlled by a timer. The
adsorption period 1s set at 64 minutes per bed, and desorptlon is set at 32
minutes per bed. The cycle does not include a bed cooldown period after
the desorptlon period. A continuous distillation train separates solvent
that is removed from the beds during steam desorptlon into toluene-and THF-
rich fractions.
During the 3-week test period, a hydrocarbon analyzer semicontlnuously
monitored the inlet and outlet solvent concentrations. The analyzer data
were digitized and input to an onsite computerized data acquisition
system. Table C-l presents the operating conditions encountered during the
tests. Table C-2 presents a summary of the results of the tests. The
inlet toluene/THF concentration averaged 1,230 parts per million by volume
(ppmv), which corresponds to an inlet solvent mass rate of 70.5 kilograms
per hour (kg/h) (156 pounds per hour [lb/h]). Inlet concentrations varied
from about 50 to over 2,400 ppmv, depending on the number of operating
coating lines, the coating speed, and the coating thickness. The time-
averaged outlet concentrations from Beds 1, 2, and 3 were 5.2, 2.2, and
2.4 ppmv, respectively, which correspond to outlet solvent mass rates of
0.15, 0.071, and 0.078 kg/h (0.33, 0.16, and 0.17 Ib/h), respectively.
Therefore, average system volatile organic compound (VOC) removal
efficiencies were 99.8, 99.9, and 99.9 percent for Beds 1, 2, and 3,
respectively, based on solvent mass rates. Outlet solvent concentrations
varied from near 0 to over 100 ppmv, depending primarily upon cycle
timing. Laboratory analysis Indicated that bed carbon adsorption capacity
C-l
-------
was significantly below virgin carbon capacity levels. However, the
reduced adsorption capacity apparently did not severely affect system
performance, as indicated by the bed VOC removal levels approaching
100 percent.
Plant 3 manufactures magnetic tape by coating a polyester film or web
with ground magnetic iron oxide slurried with a solvent formulation of
primarily THF and toluene with small amounts of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK),
methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and cyclohexanone. The carbon adsorption
system recovers the solvent driven off during the coating process. The
system, which has been operational since 1978, processes 9.4 Mm /s
(19,800 scfm) of SLA. The system features three pairs of annular carbon
beds, with two pairs on-line and one pair maintained as a spare. The two
on-line pairs operate on a 90-minute timed adsorption/regeneration cycle.
The system processes SLA with an approximate inlet solvent concentration of
2,000 or 5,000 ppmv, depending on the type of magnetic tape being
produced. The system is regenerated by low-pressure steam desorption and
ambient air cooldown. A batch distillation train separates solvent that is
removed from the beds during steam desorption into component fractions.
During the 2-week test period, hydrocarbon analyzers
semicontinuously monitored the inlet and outlet solvent concentrations.
The analyzer data were digitized and input to an onsite computerized data
acquisition system. Table C-3 presents a summary of the operating
parameters encountered during the tests. Table C-4 presents a summary of
the results of the VOC sampling. The data show VOC removal efficiencies
ranging from 91 to 98 percent. The measured VOC removal efficiency for
each bed was generally based on an average of 10 cycles of adsorption and
regeneration. The carbon in Beds 3A and 3B had been in service for only
1 to 2 weeks at the time of the testing. These beds had substantially
better VOC reduction performance than did Beds 1A, IB, and 2A, which all
contained carbon with up to 5 months of service.
C.2 DATA FROM INDUSTRY ON CARBON ADSORBER RECOVERY EFFICIENCIES
A two-bed fixed-bed carbon adsorption system installed in 1980
controls the VOC emissions from the magnetic tape coating operation at the
IBM Corporation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Table C-5 presents a summary
of the normal operating parameters of this system. Table C-6 presents a
summary of the monthly average VOC control efficiencies for 1982. Control
efficiencies ranged from 94 to 99 percent.
The 3M Company facility in Camarillo, California, coats computer tape
and disks. Two separate fixed-bed carbon adsorbers, one with four beds and
one with two beds, control VOC emissions. The systems were installed in
1975 and 1979. Table C-7 presents the actual operating parameters of these
systems. Table C-8 presents a summary of the monthly average control
device efficiencies for a 12-month period. Monthly average control
efficiencies ranged from 89 to 97 percent.

C.3 DATA FROM STATE COMPLIANCE TESTS
The Allied Media Technology facility 1n Sunnyvale, California,
operated two coating lines that produced video and computer tape products.
A nitrogen condensation system controlled oven VOC emissions. The control
device recovery efficiency was determined by conducting a 3-hour liquid
solvent material balance on February 25, 1983. The amount of solvent
applied was calculated from the operating parameters of both lines. Table
C-9 presents a summary of these data. The total amount of solvent applied
during the test period was 110.2 kg (242.9 Ib). The amount of solvent
recovered was calculated from the weight of the solvent drum after
collection, minus the weight of the drum and the weight of the solvent in
the drum before collection during the test. These data are presented in
Table C-10. The total amount of solvent recovered during the test was
102.5 kg (226.0 Ib). The solvent recovery efficiency of this coating
operation VOC control system was 93.0 percent (102.5 kg * 110.2 kg)
(226.0 Ib * 243.0 Ib).
C.4 DATA FROM ERA-SPONSORED TESTS FOR RELATED INDUSTRIES
The EPA conducted tests at plants in the pressure-sensitive tape and
label (PSTL) industry. This 1s an industry with coating and control
processes very similar to those used in the magnetic tape manufacturing
industry. In both industries, a solvent-based coating is applied to a
continuous supporting web. Fixed-bed carbon adsorbers are the most
commonly used control device in both industries, and similar total
enclosures around the coating application/flashoff area are used to capture
fugitive VOC emissions. The following paragraphs describe relevant test
data from the PSTL industry.
One PSTL facility was examined over a 4-week period (January 15, 1979,
to February 9, 1979). The facility consists of four adhesive coating lines
controlled by a single carbon adsorption system. There are three lines
that are each 71-centimeters (cm) (28-inches) wide, and one line that is
144-cm (56-inches) wide. The plant operation is characterized by many
short runs at slow line speeds. Table C-ll summarizes the operations of
each line and the total system. This facility is an example of a hard to
control facility because slow coating lines are the most difficult to
control (e.g., they have the greatest potential for fugitive solvent
emissions).
During the 4-week test period, the controlled facility used 28.7 m3
(7,589 gallons) of solvents in its adhesive formulations and recovered
226.7 m (7,065 gallons) from the carbon adsorption facility. This
represents an overall VOC control of 93.1 percent. The system performed
140 separate runs and used the following solvents: toluene, acetone,
hexane, ethyl acetate, MEK, rubber solvent, heptane, mixed solvents,
recovered pro lam solvents, xylene, ethyl alcohol, and isopropanol.
The makeup air for the ovens is pulled directly from the work area.
The building that houses the coaters is tight enough to allow a slight
negative pressure in the work area as compared to the outside of the
C-3
-------
building. Also, there is a slight negative pressure in the coater ovens
with respect to the room air. With a fully enclosed, tight system, the
overall result is that all makeup air flows into the building, through the
oven, and out to the carbon adsorption system. Therefore, essentially
•100 percent of all solvent emissions are captured. The facility also uses
hoods over the coater areas to capture fugitive solvent emissions near the
coating applicator. Ductwork directs hood gases into the drying oven.

APPENDIX D - EMISSION MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING
-------
APPENDIX D - EMISSION MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING
This appendix describes the measurement method experience that was
gained during the emission testing portion of this study, recommended per-
formance test procedures, and potential continuous monitoring procedures.
The purposes of these descriptions are to define the methodologies used to
collect the data, to recomriend potential procedures to demonstrate com-
pliance with a new source performance standard, and to discuss alternatives
for monitoring either emissions or process parameters to indicate continued
compliance with that standard.
D.I EMISSION MEASUREMENT TEST PROGRAM AND METHODS
No emission source testing in the magnetic tape industry was
conducted by the Emission Standards and Engineering Division (ESED) of
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the background
support study for the new source performance standard for this industry.
However, testing had been conducted earlier by ESED/EPA in similar surface
coating industries, and similar test procedures would be applicable for
the magnetic tape industry.
D.I.I Coating Analysis Testing
Coating samples were received from three magnetic tape manufacturers,
and analyzed using EPA Reference Method 24. All samples were high-solvent
coatings; no low-solvent or waterborne coatings were available. Prelimi-
nary analysis indicates that Method 24 is applicable to these coatings,
although specialized techniques and equipment nay be needed. [More
details will be provided later when method development and analyses are
completed.]
Extensive analysis of coating samples from other surface coating
industries has been done. Coating samples were received from paint and
ink manufacturers and users in the following industries: automobile and
light-duty truck, metal coil, can, large appliances, pressure-sensitive
tapes and labels, and flexible vinyl coating. The coatings types included
high-solvent, high-solids, waterborne, and solvent-waterborne coatings.
These sample coatings encompassed the range of coatings expected in the
respective industries. All the samples were analyzed using EPA Reference
Method 24.
The analysis results generally compared well with the manufacturers'
formulation data. Because the expected composition of magnetic tape
coatings is similar to the coatings tested, Method 24 should be applicable
to the magnetic tape industry.
D-l
-------
D.I.2 Emission Source Testing Programs
Although no magnetic tape plants were tested, emission tests for
volatile organic compounds (VOC) were conducted at several plants in
similar coating industries: automobile and light-duty truck, metal coil,
can, pressure-sensitive tapes and labels, publication rotogravure, and
flexible vinyl coating. Because similar test procedures would be appli-
cable to the magnetic tape industry, details of these test programs in
other industries are discussed below.
For each individual facility that was tested, the test procedures
and approaches varied somewhat due to different data needs and plant
design configurations. In general, the purpose of the testing programs
was to characterize the VOC emissions to the atmosphere and the control
efficiency of the vapor capture and processing systems, as well as the
overall solvent usage, end distribution, and material balance throughout
the entire coating process. The field testing was usually much more
comprehensive than the performance test procedures specified in the
applicable regulations for these industries in order to evaluate various
testing approaches and methods and to gather useful auxiliary information
to better understand the process operation.
D.I.3 Stack Emission Testing Conducted
D.I.3.1 Testing Locations. Gas streams that were tested for VOC
concentrations and flow rate included: inlets and outlets of vapor proces-
sing devices; uncontrolled exhaust streams venting directly to the atmos-
phere; intermediate process streams such as hood exhausts and drying oven
exhausts venting to other process units. From the concentration and flow
rate results, the VOC mass emissions or mass flow rate in each stream
could be calculated. Not all of these streams were tested at each plant.
The streams selected for sampling at a particular plant depended on the
data needs of that particular industry testing program. These gas streams
were usually in vents that were suitable for conventional EPA stack
emission measurement techniques, and these measurement approaches are
described in this section.
If there were emissions that were not collected and vented through
stacks suitable for conventional testing, then ambient VOC survey tech-
niques had to be adopted. (An example would be open doorways.) These non-
conventional measurement techniques are described in a later section, D.I.5.
0.1.3.2 Flow Measurements. During ESED/EPA's field testing programs,
Reference Methods 1, 2, 3, and 4 were used to determine the volumetric
flow rate of the gas streams being sampled. Because all the stacks or
ducts that were tested had diameters of at least 12 inches, Methods 1 and
2 were applicable, and alternative flow rate measurement techniques were
not required. The volumetric flow rates were determined on either a dry
or wet basis, depending on whether the corresponding VOC concentration
method used for that site measured VOC concentrations under actual
conditions (wet basis) or dry conditions.
D-2
-------
Reference Method 1 was used to select the sampling site along the
duct or stack, and to determine the number of sampling points on the
cross-sectional area inside the duct. Method 2 was used to measure gas
velocity. This method is based on the use of an S-type pi tot tube to
traverse the duct cross-section to calculate an average gas velocity. To
determine the gas stream molecular weight and density, as required for
Method 2, the fixed gases composition and moisture content are needed.
The fixed gas composition (02, C02, CO, N2) was usually determined by an
Orsat analysis procedure detailed in Method 3. Sometimes, however, the
molecular weight of the vent gases was assumed to be the same as ambient
air. This was a valid assumption when no combustion sources were involved
and the hydrocarbon concentrations in the stream were low. Gas streain
moisture was measured following Method 4, or with a wet bulb/dry bulb
approach. The less precise wet bulb/dry bulb technique was acceptable
because the moisture value was not usually a crucial parameter in these
tests. Also, the moisture content was not expected to differ from
ambient conditions unless combustion sources were involved. The moisture
content is used to adjust the molecular weight in a calculation step in
Method 2, and to adjust the flow rates to a dry basis if needed. Using
the duct area, the gas volumetric flow rate was then calculated.
If the flow rate in a vent were suspected to be unsteady and vary
significantly during a test run, then Method 2 was modified to give an
indication of the continuous flow rate. The pi tot tube was left in the
duct at a single representative sampling point so that any changes in the
flow rate could be monitored.
D.I.3.3 Concentration Measurements. The VOC concentration in each
stack was determined using one or more of the following methods:
0 Reference Method 25 (M25)
0 Flame lonization Analyzer (FIA)
0 Reference Method 25A (M25A)
0 Modified calibration procedures following a more general
method detailed in an EPA guideline document (GENERAL FIA)
0 Continuous measurements using direct extraction (CONT/FIA)
0 Time integrated bag samples (BAG/FIA)
0 Reference Method 18 - Gas Chromatograph (GC) with flame ioniza-
tion detector
0 Time integrated bag samples (BAG/GO
0 Grab flask or syringe samples (GRAB/GO
It should be noted that at the time of the testing, many of these methods
had not been finalized, so preliminary versions were followed. However,
the later changes to these methods were not significant and would not have
affected the test results. Usually, two of the VOC measurement procedures
were run simultaneously. This was done in order to characterize the emis-
sions in more detail, as well as to aid in selecting an appropriate test
method.
The direct extraction FIA method was used at sites which were con-
venient and not in hazardous areas. The direct FIA had the advantage that,
with continuous measurements, minor process variations could be noted.
D-3
-------
Also, once it was set up, it was relatively inexpensive to run it for a
long time period, and thus, changes in emissions due to process variations
could be easily noted.
The other methods could be used at any sampling location, including
sites in explosive atmospheres or remote locations. When the time-
integrated sampling methods were used (M25, BAG/FIA, BAG/GC), the sample
was collected for a 45- to 60-minute time period. Because of its complex
analysis procedure, the Method 25 samples had to be analyzed later in the
laboratory. The integrated bag samples, however, were analyzed as soon as
possible (within 24 hours) on-site by either a FIA or GC method.
The FIA's were usually calibrated with propane, although sometimes
they were also calibrated with the solvent being used in the coating pro-
cess, (GENERAL FIA). The GC's were calibrated with each component that was
known to be in the solvent mixture being used.
The results from the different FIA sampling approaches should be
equivalent, provided they are compared for the same time periods. The
Method 25 results differed somewhat from the results of the FIA. The
differences were probably due to the fact that the Method 25 procedure
measures all carbon atoms equally, while the FIA detector has a varying
response ratio for different organic compounds. The difference in results
would be most pronounced when a multi-component solvent mixture is used.
The results from the two GC sampling approaches would necessarily be
different because of the different sampling time periods. The results
from a GC analysis are reported as concentrations for each individual
compound, and thus cannot be compared directly to the FIA results. The FIA
is calibrated with one compound and the total hydrocarbon concentration is
reported as one number on the basis of that compound. Also, the FIA
detector has a varying response ratio to different organic compounds, so
again the difference in results between the GC and FIA would be most pro-
nounced when a multi-component solvent mixture is used.
D.I.4 Liquid Solvent Material Balance Testing Conducted
The EPA did not directly conduct any long-term liquid solvent material
balance tests; however, detailed records were obtained from three plants in
two industries and EPA reviewed their procedures. In all cases, the vapor
recovery device was a carbon absorber. The solvent used by the plant was
compared to the solvent recovered (usually on a weekly or monthly basis),
in order to obtain an overall control efficiency, combining capture and
recovery efficiencies. At one plant in the pressure-sensitive tapes and
labels industry, the amount of solvent recovered was determined by reading
the level in the solvent recovery tank at the carbon adsorber. The
amount of solvent used was determined from plant purchasing, inventory, and
production records. At two plants in the publication rotogravure industry,
in-line meters measured the amount of solvent directed to each printing
line and the recovered solvent returned to the solvent storage tank.
D-4
-------
D.I.5 Ambient Surveys and Fugitive Emission Characterization
Ambient measurements were conducted during some test series. Open
doorways were monitored periodically to estimate the mass flux of VOC
into and out of the coating area. The flow rate through doorways was
measured with a hand-held velometer (6 to 9 points were sampled per
doorway). Concentration was measured with a portable combustible gas
detector which generally conformed to Reference Method 21 specifications.
Ambient VOC concentration levels in the coating area were measured
periodically during the testing period. The surveys were conducted
throughout the room at various heights (1, 5, and 8 feet from floor).
Surveys were also made of the VOC concentrations and flow rates into
hood intakes above coating or embossing operations, in order to estimate
and characterize the fugitive VOC's which were drawn into the hooding
exhaust stack. VOC concentration and flow measurements were made at
representative spots around the perimeter of intake hoods as close to
the intake as the physical equipment setup permitted.
Eight-hour exposure sampling was conducted during some test programs.
Following a NIOSH ambient sampling procedure, ambient air samples were
drawn through carbon tubes. Analysis consisted of extraction in carbon
disulfide and liquid analysis by gas chromatograph for speciation of the
solvent components used in the coatings.
D.I.6 Solvent Sample Analysis
Some plants mix their coatings on-site from raw materials. Samples
of the solvent (or mixture of solvents) were obtained and analyzed for
speciation by direct injection into a gas chromatograph. The results
froi.i these analyses indicated whether the solvent (or solvent mixture)
being used matched the plant's formulation data.
Samples of recovered solvent from carbon adsorbers were also obtained
and analyzed in order to compare the composition of the recovered solvent
to that of the new solvent.
D.I.7 Wastewater Sample Analysis
If the solvents being used were miscible in water, then the recovered
solvent from a steam-generated carbon adsorber is mixed with water and is
separated in a distillation step. Wastewater samples were collected from
various points in the carbon adsorption/distillation system. The water
samples were analyzed for compound speciation and total organic carbon
using standard laboratory water analysis procedures.
The results from this determination were used to characterize the
operation of the carbon adsorber and applied to the solvent material
balance calculations.
D-5
-------
D.I.8 Product Sample Analysis
Product samples were collected and analyzed for residual solvent
content in two industries. The results from this determination were
applied to the solvent material balance calculations.
In the pressure sensitive tapes and labels industry, final tape
samples were collected and analyzed for residual solvent, using ASTM
F 151-72 "Standard Test Method for Residual Solvents in Flexible Barrier
Material." This method only provided an index for comparing solvent
levels and was inappropriate for the true measurement of the mass of
residual solvent.
In the flexible vinyl printing and coating industry, product samples
of the vinyl wall covering were obtained before and after the embosser
and analyzed for solvent content. The test procedure was an adaptation
pf NIOSH ambient carbon tube measurement techniques. The product samples
were put in a heated container and air was drawn across the container and
then through a carbon tube, which collected the organics. The carbon
tubes were analyzed for compound speciation by a gas chromatograph, in
the same manner as ambient sample carbon tubes. This product sampling
and analysis was a preliminary test procedure. The results were in a
lower range than expected, but there is no way to independently verify
the results.
D-6
-------
D.2 PERFORMANCE TEST METHODS
Many different approaches, test methods, and test procedures can be
used to characterize volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from indus-
trial surface coating facilities. The particular combination of measure-
ment methods and procedures to be used depends upon the format of the
standard and test procedures specified in the applicable regulation.
General testing approaches are:
1. Analysis of coatings.
2. Direct measurement of emissions to the atmosphere from stacks.
3. Determination of vapor processing device efficiency.
4. Determination of vapor capture system efficiency.
5. Determination of overall control efficiency based on liquid sol-
vent material balance.
6. Survey of fugitive emissions.
D.2.1 Performance Testing of Coatings
D.2.1.1 Analysis of Coatings
Recommended Method. EPA Reference Method 24 is the recommended
method for the analysis of coatings. This method combines several American
Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard methods to determine the
volatile matter content, water content, density, volume solids, and weight
solids of inks and related surface coatings. These parameter values are
combined to calculate the VOC content of a coating in the units specified
in the applicable regulation.
Reference Method 24A is similar in principle to Method 24, but
some of the analytical steps are slightly different and the results would
differ. It was developed specifically for publication rotogravure printing
inks and contains specific analytical steps which were already widely used
in that industry. Thus, Reference Method 24A is not recommended for
analysis of magnetic tape coatings.
Volatile Matter Content (Wv). The total volatile content of a
coating is determined by using ASTM D 2369-81, "Standard Test Method for
Volatile Content of Coatings." This procedure is applied to both aqueous
and nonaqueous coatings. The result from this procedure is the volatile
content of a coating as a weight fraction.
Water Content(Uw). There are two acceptable procedures for
determining the water content of a coating: (1) ASTM D 3792-80, "Standard
Test Method for Water Content of Water-Reducible Paints by Direct Injec-
tion into a Gas Chromatograph," and (2) ASTM D 4017-81, "Standard Test
Method for Water in Paints and Paint Materials by the Karl Fischer Titra-
tion Method." This procedure is applied only to aqueous coatings. The
result is the water content as a weight fraction.
Organic Content (W0). The volatile organic content of a coating
(as a weight fraction) is not determined directly. Instead, it is deter-
D-7
-------
mined indirectly by subtraction from the total volatile content and the
water content values.
"0 = "V ~ "W
Solids Content (Ws). The solids content of a coating (as a
weight fraction) is also determined indirectly using the previously deter-
mined values:
Ws = 1 - Wv = 1 - W0 - Ww
Volume Solids (Vs). There is no reliable, accurate analytical
procedure that is generally applicable to determine the volume solids of
a coating. Instead, the solids content (as a volume fraction) is calcu-
lated using the manufacturer's formulation data.
Coating Density (Dc). The density of coating is determined
using the procedure in ASTM D 1475-60 (Reapproved 1980), "Standard Test
Method for Density of Paint, Varnish, Lacquer, and Related Products."
Cost. The estimated cost of analysis per coating sample is:
$50 for the total volatile matter content procedure; $100 for the water
content determination; and $25 for the density determination. Because
the testing equipment is standard laboratory apparatus, no additional
purchasing costs are expected.
Adjustments. If non-photochemically reactive solvents are used
in the coatings, then standard gas chromatographic techniques may be used
to identify and quantify these solvents. The results of Reference
Method 24 may be adjusted to subtract these solvents from the measured VOC
content.
D.2.1.2 Sampling and Handling of Coatings. For Method 24 analysis of
a coating, a 1-liter sample should be obtained and placed in a 1-liter con-
tainer. The head-space in the container should be as small as possible so
that organics in the coating do not evaporate and escape detection. The
coating sample should be taken at a place that is representative of the
coating being applied. Alternatively, the coating may be sampled in the
mixing or storage area while separate records are kept of dilution solvent
being added at the coating heads. Some magnetic tape coatings have a
component (usually a resin) that cause the coating to "set" within a short
time period. Samples of these coatings need to be taken before the "set-
ting agent" has been added.
The coating sample should be protected from direct sunlight, extreme
heat or cold, and agitation. There is no limitation given in Method 24
for the length of time between sampling and analysis.
D.2.1.3 Weighted Average VOC Content of Coatings. If a plant uses
all low-solvent coatings (as specified in the applicable regulation), then
each coating simply needs to be analyzed following Method 24. However, if
a plant uses a combination of low and high-solvent coatings, the weighted
average VOC content of all the coatings used over a specified time period
needs to be determined. Depending on the format of the standard, the
average is weighted by the volume or mass of coating solids. In addition
D-8
-------
to the Method 24 or manufacturer's formulation information, the amount (as
a weight) of each coating used must be determined. The EPA has no inde-
pendent test procedure to determine the amount of coating used, and instead
it is recommended that plant inventory and usage records be relied upon.
Host plants already keep detailed records of amounts of coatings used.
Thus, no additional effort or cost is expected to be required to attain
coating usage. If a plant keeps its inventory records on a volume basis,
then the density of the coating needs to be determined to convert the
inventory to a mass basis.
D.2.2 Stack Emission Testing
D.2.2.1 Testing Locations. Stack emission testing techniques would
be needed to measure the VOC concentration and gas flow rate in stacks and
ducts such as: inlets and outlets of vapor processing devices; exhaust
streams from mixing equipment and/or storage tanks; uncontrolled exhaust
streams venting directly to the atmosphere; intermediate process streams
such as hood exhausts and drying oven exhausts venting to other process
units. The particular streams to be measured depends upon the applicable
regulation.
D.2.2.2 Use of Test Results. The results from the VOC concentration
Measurement and flow rate measurement can be combined and used in many
ways. If a regulation is on a concentration basis, then only VOC concen-
tration measurement is needed and the result can be used directly. If the
regulation is on a mass emission basis (i.e., mass emitted per unit of
production; or mass emitted per unit of time), then the concentration and
flow rate results are combined to calculate the mass flow rate. If the
regulation is on an efficiency basis, then mass flow rate is determined for
each of the streams being compared and the efficiency is calculated straight-
forwardly.
The performance test procedure in the applicable regulation will
define the test length and the conditions under which testing is acceptable,
as well as the way the reference test method measurements are combined to
attain the final result.
D.2.2.3 Overall Control Efficiency. Performance test methods and
procedures are used to determine the overall control efficiency of the
add-on pollution control system. The add-on control system is composed of
two parts: a vapor capture system, and a vapor processing device (carbon
adsorber, condenser, or incinerator). The control efficiency of each
component is deternined separately and the overall control efficiency is
the product of the capture system and processing device efficiencies.
(Mote: This measured overall control efficiency will not reflect control
or emission reductions due to process and operational changes.)
D.2.2.4 Processing Device Efficiency. The three types of processing
devices that are expected to be used in the magnetic tape industry are
carbon adsorbers, condensers, and incinerators. The test procedure to
determine efficiency is the same for each control technology.
D-9
-------
To determine the efficiency of the emission processing device, the VOC
mass flow rate in the inlet and outlet gas streams must be determined. To
determine the mass of VOC in a gas stream, both the concentration and flow
rate must be measured. The recommended methods and the reason for their
selection are discussed later in sections D.2.2.7 and D.2.2.8.
D.2.2.5 Capture System Efficiency. The efficiency of the vapor
capture system is defined as the ratio of the mass of gaseous VOC emissions
directed to the vapor processing device to the total mass of gaseous VOC
emissions from the magnetic tape coating line. The mass of VOC in each
applicable vent is determined by measuring the concentration and the flow
rate using standard EPA test methods. The recommended methods and the
reason for their selection are discussed later in sections D.2.2.7 and
D.2.2.8.
In order to determine capture efficiency, all fugitive VOC emissions
from the coating area must be captured and vented through stacks suitable
for testing. Furthermore, the coating line being tested should be isolated
from any fugitive VOC emissions originating from other sources. All doors
and other openings through which fugitive VOC emissions might escape would
be closed.
One way to isolate the coating line from other VOC emission sources
and to capture and vent all fugitive emissions from the coating line is to
construct a temporary enclosure with a separate vent around those portions
of the coating line (e.g. flashoff area) where fugitive emissions normally
occur. The temporary enclosure should be ventilated at a rate proportional
to that of the building in which the enclosure is housed in order to
duplicate closely the normal emissions profile. Although this method of
measuring capture efficiency may not produce conditions identical to normal
operation, the rate of generation of "fugitive" emissions within the
temporary enclosure will tend to be lower than without the enclosure. The
enclosure walls will reduce cross drafts resulting in a conservatively high
estimate of capture efficiency.
Instead of requiring a performance test, a regulation may require a
specific equipment configuration in order to ensure a high capture
efficiency. For example, the applicable regulation may specify a total
enclosure around the coater or sealed lids and a closed venting system for
coating mix equipment. To ensure that these equipment specifications are
met, visible inspections or Method 21 leak detection surveys can be
conducted. However, ESED/EPA has no experience using Method 21 for
detecting such leaks in the surface coating industries, and thus cannot
recommend a leak concentration level to be used in evaluating the
performance of various pieces of capture equipment.
D.2.2.6 Stack Emission Testing - Time and Cost. The length of a
performance test is specified in the applicable regulation and is selected
to be representative for the industry and process being tested. The length
of a perfomance test should be selected to be long enough so to account for
variability in emissions due to up and down operation times, routine
process problems, and different products. Also, the performance test time
period should correspond to the cycles of the emission control device.
D-10
-------
Coating line operations are intermittent; there are often long
time periods between runs for cleanup, setup, and color matching, so
the total length of a performance test could vary from plant to plant.
In general, a performance test would consist of three to six runs, each
lasting from 1/2 to 3 hours. It is estimated that for most operations,
the field testing could probably be completed in 2 to 3 days (i.e., two
or three 8-hour work shifts) with an extra day for setup, instrument
preparation, and cleanup.
The cost of the testing varies with the length of the test and the
number of vents to be tested: inlet, outlet, intermediate process, and
fugitive vents. The cost to measure VOC concentration and flow rate is
estimated at $6,000 to $10,000 per vent, excluding travel expenses.
D.2.2.7 Details on Gas Volumetric Flow Measurement Method.
Recommended methods. Reference Methods 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D,
3 and 4 are recommended as appropriate for determination of the volume-
tric flow rate of gas streams.
Large stacks with steady flow. Methods 1 and 2 are used in
stacks with steady flow and with diameters greater than 12 inches.
Reference Method 1 is used to select the sampling site, and Reference
Method 2 measures the volumetric flow rate using a S-type pitot tube
velocity traverse technique. Methods 3 and 4 provide fixed gases analy-
sis and moisture content, which are used to determine the gas stream
molecular weight and density in Method 2. The results are in units of
standard cubic meters per hour.
Small ducts. If the duct is small (less than 12 inches diameters)
then alternative flow measurement techniques will be needed using Method
2A, Method 2D, or Methods 2C and 1A. Method 2A uses an in-line turbine
meter to continuously and directly measure the volumetric flow. Method 2D
uses rotameters, orifice plates, anemometers, or other volume rate or
pressure drop measuring devices to continuously measure the flowrate.
Methods 1A and 2C (in combination) modify Methods 1 and 2 and use a small
standard pitot tube traverse technique to measure the flow in small ducts,
and apply when the flow is constant and continuous.
Unsteady flow. If the flow in a large duct (greater than 12
inches diameter) is not steady or continuous, then Method 2 may be modified
to continuously monitor the changing flow rate in the stack. A continuous
1-point pitot tube measurement is made at a representative location in the
stack. For small ducts with unsteady flow, continuous measurement with
Method 2A or 2D is recommended.
Adjustment for moisture. The results do not need to be adjusted
to dry conditions (using Method 4 for moisture) if the VOC concentrations
are measured in the gas stream under actual conditions; that is, if the
VOC concentrations are reported as parts of VOC per million parts of
actual (wet) volume (ppmv). If the concentrations are measured on a dry
basis (gas chromatographic techniques or Method 25) then the volumetric
flow rate must correspondingly be adjusted to a dry basis.

-------
D.2.2.8 Details on VOC Concentration Measurement Method.
Method 25A. The recommended VOC measurement method is Reference
Method 25A, "Determination of Total Gaseous Organic Concentration Using A
Flame lonization Analyzer" (FIA). This method was selected because it
measures the expected solvent emissions accurately, is practical for long-
term, intermittent testing, and provides a continuous record of VOC concen-
tration. A continuous record is valuable because of coating line and
control device fluctuations. Measurements that are not continuous may not
give a representative indication of emissions. The coating lines in this
industry may operate intermittently, and the vent concentrations may vary
significantly. Continuous measurements and records are easier to use for
intermittent processes, and the short-term variations in concentration can
be noted. The continuous records are averaged or integrated as necessary
to obtain an average result for the measurement period.
Method 25A applies to the measurement of total gaseous organic concen-
tration of vapors consisting of alkanes, and/or arenes (aromatic hydro-
carbons). The instrument is calibrated in terms of propane or another
appropriate organic compound. A sample is extracted from the source
through a heated sample line and glass fiber filter and routed to a flame
ionization analyzer (FIA). (Provisions are included for eliminating the
heated sampling line and glass fiber filter under some sampling condi-
tions.) Results are reported as concentration equivalents of the calibra-
tion gas organic constitutent or organic carbon.
Instrument calibration is based on a single reference compound. For
the magnetic tape industry, the recommended calibration compound is propane
or butane. (However, if only one compound is used as the sole solvent at a
plant, then that solvent could be used as the calibration compound.) As a
result, the sample concentration measurements are on the basis of that
reference compound and are not necessarily true hydrocarbon concentrations.
The response of an FIA is proportional to carbon content for similiar com-
pounds. Thus, on a carbon number basis, measured concentrations based on
the reference compound are close to the true hydrocarbon concentrations.
Also, any minor biases in the FIA concentration results are less signifi-
cant if the results will be used in an efficiency calculation -- both
inlet and outlet measurements are made and compared -- and biases in each
measurement will tend to cancel out. For calculation of emissions on a
mass basis, results would be nearly equivalent using either the concentra-
tion and molecular weight based on a reference gas or the true concentra-
tion and true average molecular weight of the hydrocarbons.
The advantage of using a single component calibration is that costly
and time consuming chromatographic techniques are not required to isolate
and quantify the individual compounds present. Also, propane and butane
calibration gases are readily available in the concentration ranges needed
for this industry.
The solvents commonly used in coatings in this industry are methyl -
ethylketone (MEK), methyl-iso-butyl ketone (MIBK), toluene, cyclohexanone,
and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Most plants use a mixture of different com-
pounds for solvent. Since the solvent mixtures may vary from day-to-day
D-12
-------
and from plant-to-plant, there is no; standard solvent mixture to use for
calibration. Also, the individual compounds in the mixture will evaporate
and be controlled at different rates, so the gaseous VOC mix in the
exhaust stream is not the same mix as the original multi-component liquid
solvent. Furthermore, if incineration is used, any semi-destructed
gaseous compounds at the incinerator outlet will be different from the
compounds in the original solvent mixture. Thus, there is no advantage
in calibrating the FIA with the mixture of solvents being used.
The analysis technique using an FIA measures total hydrocarbons
including methane and ethane, which are considered non-photochemically
reactive, and thus not VOC's. Due to the coating solvent composition,
little methane or ethane is expected in the gas streams so chromatogra-
phic analysis is not needed nor recommended to adjust the hydrocarbon
results to a nonmethane, nonethane basis.
Other Methods. Three other VOC concentration measurement
methods were considered (and rejected) for this application: Method 18,
Method 25B, and Method 25.
Method 18. Gas chromatograph (GC) analysis on integrated bag
samples following Method 18 was considered because results would be on
the basis of true hydrocarbon concentrations for each compound in the
solvent mixture. However, the BAG/GC sample technique is not a continuous
measurement and would be cumbersome and impractical because of the length
of the testing. Also, it would be costly and time consuming to calibrate
for each compound, and there is little advantage or extra accuracy gained
from the GC approach.
Method 25B. Method 25B, "Determination of Total Gaseous Organic
Concentration Using a Nondispersive Infrared Analyzer," is identical to
Method 25A except that a different instrument is used. Method 25B applies
to the measurement of total gaseous organic concentration of vapor con-
sisting primarily of alkanes. The sample is extracted as described in
Method 25A and is analyzed with a nondispersive infrared analyzer (NDIR).
Method 25B was not selected because NDIR analyzers do not respond as well
as FIA's to all of the solvents used in this industry. Also, NDIR's are
not sensitive in low concentration ranges (<50 ppmv), and the outlet
concentrations from incinerators and carbon adsorbers are expected to
often be below 50 ppmv.
Method 25. Method 25, "Determination of Total Gaseous Non-
methane Organics Content" was also considered. A 30- to 60-minute inte-
grated sample is collected in a sample train, and the train is returned
to the laboratory for analysis. The collected organics are converted in
several analytical steps to methane and the number of carbon atoms (less
methane in the original sample) is measured. Results are reported as
organic carbon equivalent concentration. The Method 25 procedure is not
recommended for this industry because it is awkward to use for long test
periods and it takes integrated samples instead of continuously sampling
and recording the concentration. Concentration variations would be
masked with Method 25 time-integrated sample. Also, Method 25 is not
D-13
-------
sensitive in low concentration ranges (<50 ppmv). However, Method 25 has
the advantage that it counts each carbon atom in each compound and does
not have a varying response ratio for different compounds.
D.2.3 Liquid Solvent Material Balance
If a plant's vapor processing device recovers solvent (such as carbon
adsorption or condenser systems) then a liquid solvent material balance
approach can be used to determine the efficiency of the vapor control
system. This is done by comparing the solvent used versus the solvent
recovered. These values may be obtained from a plant's inventory records.
The EPA has no test procedure to independently verify the plant's account-
ing records. However, it is recommended that the plant set up and submit
to the enforcement agency its proposed inventory accounting and record-
keeping system prior to any performance testing.
For this performance testing approach, the averaging time (perform-
ance test time period) usually needs to be 1 week to 1 month. This longer
averaging period allows for a representative variety of coatings and tape
products, as well as reducing the impact of short-term variations due to
process upsets, solvent spills, and variable amounts of solvent in use in
the process.
The volume of solvent recovered may be determined by measuring the
level of solvent in the recovered solvent storage tank. The storage tank
should have an accurate, easily readable level indicator. To improve the
precision of the volume measurement, it is recommended that the recovered
solvent tank have a relatively small diameter, so that small changes in
volume result in greater changes in tank level. Alternatively, the solvent
recovered may be measured directly by using a liquid volume meter in the
solvent return line. Adjustments to the amount of solvent recovered may be
needed to match the format of the applicable regulation. For example, if
the regulation applies to only certain-unit operations in a plant, then the
contributions of other VOC sources must be subtracted from the total amount
of solvent recovered.
The volume of solvent used may be determined from plant inventory and
purchasing records or by measuring the level in the solvent storage tank.
Alternatively, a liquid volume meter can be used to measure the amount of
solvent drawn off from the solvent storage tank. Adjustments to the amount
of solvent used may be needed to match the format of the applicable regula-
tion. For example, the regulation may apply to only certain unit operations
in a plant, or to only solvent applied at the coater not to solvent used
for cleanup.

D.3 MONITORING SYSTEMS AND DEVICES
The purpose of monitoring is to ensure that the emission control
system is being properly operated and maintained after the performance
test. One can either directly monitor the regulated pollutant, or instead,
monitor an operational parameter of the emission control system. The aim
is to select a relatively inexpensive and simple method that will indicate
that the facility is in continual compliance with the standard.
The three types of vapor processing devices that are expected to be
used in the magnetic tape industry are carbon adsorbers, condensers, and
incinerators. Possible monitoring approaches and philosophy for each
part of the VOC control system are discussed below.
D.3.1 Monitoring of Vapor Processing Devices
D.3.1.1 Monitoring in Units of Efficiency. There are presently no
demonstrated continuous monitoring systems commercially available which
monitor vapor processor operation in the units of efficiency. This moni-
toring would require measuring not only inlet and exhaust VOC concentra-
tions, but also inlet and exhaust volumetric flow rates. An overall cost
for a complete monitoring system is difficult to estimate due to the
number of component combinations possible. The purchase and installation
cost of an entire monitoring system (including VOC concentration monitors,
flow measurement devices, recording devices, and automatic data reduction)
is estimated to be $25,000. Operating costs are estimated at $25,000 per
year. Thus, monitoring in the units of efficiency is not recommended due
to the potentially high cost and lack of a demonstrated monitoring system.
D.3.1.2 Monitoring in Units of Mass Emitted. Monitoring in units of
mass of VOC emitted would require concentration and flow measurements only
at the exhaust location, as discussed above. This type of monitoring
system has not been commercially demonstrated. The cost is estimated at
$12,500 for purchase and installation plus $12,500 annually for operation,
maintenance, calibration, and data reduction.
D.3.1.3 Monitoring of Exhaust VOC Concentration. Monitoring equip-
ment is commercially available, however, to monitor the operational or
process variables associated with vapor control system operation. The
variable which would yield the best indication of system operation is VOC
concentration at the processor outlet. Extremely accurate measurements
would not be required because the purpose of the monitoring is not to
determine the exact outlet emissions but rather to indicate operational and
maintenance practices' regarding the vapor processor. Thus, the accuracy of
a FIA (Method 25A) type instrument is not needed, and less accurate, less
costly instruments which use different detection principles are acceptable.
Monitors for this type of continuous VOC measurements, including a continu-
ous recorder, typically cost about $6,000 to purchase and install, and
$6,000 annually to calibrate, operate, maintain, and reduce the data. To
achieve representative VOC concentration measurements at the processor
outlet, the concentration monitoring device should be installed in the
exhaust vent at least two equivalent stack diameters from the exit point,
and protected from any interferences due to wind, weather, or other processes.
D-15
-------
The EPA does not currently have any experience with continuous
monitoring of VOC exhaust concentration of vapor processing units in the
magnetic tape industry. Therefore, performance specifications for the sens-
ing instruments cannot be recommended at this time. Examples of such
specifications that were developed for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
continuous instrument systems can be found in Appendix B of 40 CFR 60.
D.3.1.4 Monitoring of Process Parameters. For some vapor processing
systems, there may be another process parameter besides the exhaust VOC
concentration which is an accurate indicator of system operation. Because
control system design is constantly changing and being upgraded in this
industry, all acceptable process parameters for all systems cannot be
specified. Substituting the monitoring of vapor processing system process
parameters for the monitoring of exhaust VOC concentration is valid and
acceptable if it can be demonstrated that the value of the process param-
eter is an indicator of proper operation of the vapor processing system.
However, a disadvantage of parameter monitoring alone is that the correla-
tion of the parameters with the numerical emission limit is not exact.
Monitoring of any such parameters would have to be approved by enforcement
officials on a caseby-case basis. Parameter monitoring equipment would
typically cost about $3,000 plus $3,000 annually to operate, maintain,
periodically calibrate, and reduce the data into the desired format.
Temperature monitoring equipment is somewhat less expensive. The cost of
purchasing and installing an accurate temperature measurement device and
recorder is estimated at $1,500. Operating costs, including maintenance,
calibration, and data reduction, would be about $1,500 annually.
D.3.1.5 Monitoring of Carbon Adsorbers. For carbon adsorption
vapor processing devices, the preferred monitoring approach is the use of
a continuous VOC exhaust concentration monitor. However, as discussed
above, no such general monitor has been demonstrated for the many dif-
ferent organic compounds encountered in this industry. Alternatively,
the carbon bed temperature (after regeneration and completion of any
cooling cycles), and the amount of steam used to regenerate the bed have
been identified as indicators of product recovery efficiency. Tempera-
ture monitors and steam flow meters which indicate the quantity of steam
used over a period of time are available.
D.3.1.6 Monitoring of Condensers. For condenser devices, the
temperature of the exhaust stream has been identified as an indicator of
product recovery efficiency, and condenser temperature monitors are
available.
D.3.1.7 Monitoring of Incinerators. For incineration devices, the
exhaust concentration is quite low and is difficult to measure accurately
with the inexpensive VOC monitors. Instead, the firebox temperature has
been identified and demonstrated to be a process parameter which reflects
level of emissions from the device. Thus, temperature monitoring is the
recommended monitoring approach for incineration control devices. Since
a temperature monitor is usually included as a standard feature for
incinerators, it is expected that this monitoring requirement will not
incur additional costs to the plant.
D-16
-------
D.3.1.8 Use of Monitoring Data. The use of monitoring data is the
same regardless of whether the VOC outlet concentration or an operational
parameter is selected to be monitored. The monitoring system should be
installed and operating properly before the first performance test. Con-
tinual surveillance is achieved by comparing the monitored value of the
concentration or parameter to the value which occurred during the last
successful performance test, or alternatively, to a preselected value
which is indicative of good operation. It is important to note that a
high monitoring value does not positively confirm that the facility is
out of compliance; instead, it indicates that the emission control system
or the coating process is operating in a different manner than during the
last successful performance test.
The averaging time for monitoring purposes should be related to the
time period for the performance test.
D.3.2 Monitoring of Vapor Capture Systems
U.S.2.1 Monitoring i n Urnts of Efficiency. Monitoring the vapor
capture system in the units of efficiency would be a difficult and costly
procedure. This monitoring approach would require measuring the VOC con-
centration and volumetric flow rate in the inlet to the vapor processing
device and in each fugitive VOC vent and then combining the results to
calculate an efficiency for each time period. Such a monitoring system has
not been commercially demonstrated. The purchase and installation of an
entire monitoring system is estimated at $12,500 per stack, with an addi-
tional $12,500 per stack per year for operation, maintenance, calibration,
and data reduction. Thus, monitoring in the units of efficiency is not
recommended.
D.3.2.2 Monitoring of Flow Rates. As an alternative, an operational
parameter could be monitored instead. The key to a good capture system is
maintaining proper flow rates in each vent. Monitoring equipment is commer-
cially available which could monitor these flow rate parameters. Flow rate
monitoring equipment for each vent would typically cost about $3,000 plus
$3,000 annually to operate, maintain, periodically calibrate, and reduce
the data into the desired format. The monitored flow rate values are then
compared to the monitored value during the last successful performance
test.
Proper flow rates and air distribution in a vapor capture system could
also be ensured by an inspection and maintenance program, which generally
would not create any additional cost burden for a plant. In that case, the
additional value of information provided by flow rate monitors would proba-
bly be minimal. Routine visual inspections of the fan's operation would
indicate whether or not capture efficiencies remain at the performance test
level, and no formal monitoring of the air distribution system would be
required.
If a total enclosure is specified in the applicable regulation to
ensure proper capture, then the proper operation of the total enclosure can
D-17
-------
be monitored. Examples of monitoring devices include VOC concentration
detectors inside the enclosure, pressure sensors inside the enclosure,
flow rate meters in ducts, and fan amperage meters.
D.3.3 Monitoring of Overall Control System Efficiency on a Liquid Basis
If a plant uses a vapor recovery control device, the efficiency of
the overall plant control (combined vapor capture and vapor recovery
systems) can be monitored using a liquid material balance. The amount of
solvent used is compared to the amount of solvent recovered. (These
amounts may need to be adjusted to match the format of the applicable
regulation.) These values are obtained from a plant's inventory records.
For this monitoring approach, the averaging time or monitoring period
usually needs to be 1 week to 1 month. This longer averaging period is
necessary to coordinate with a plant's inventory accounting system and to
eliminate short-term variations due to process upsets, solvent spills,
and variable amounts of solvent in use in the process.
Because most plants already keep good solvent usage and inventory
records, no additional cost to the plant would be incurred for this
monitoring approach.
D.3.4 Monitoring of Coatings
If a plant elects to use low-solvent content coatings in lieu of
control devices, then the VOC content of the coatings should be monitored.
There is no simplified way to do this. Instead, the recommended monitor-
ing procedure is the same as the performance test: the plant must keep
records of the VOC content and amount of each coating used and calculate
the weighted average VOC content over the time period specified in the
regulation. As an alternative, the plant could set up a sampling program
so that random samples of coatings would be analyzed using Reference Method
24.

APPENDIX E
ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY
IMPACTS OF THE CONTROL OPTIONS
The environmental and energy impacts of the control options for the
individual emission sources at the magnetic tape coating model lines
(solvent storage tanks, mix preparation equipment, and coating operation)
are presented in this Appendix. The assumptions used to calculate these
impacts were presented in Chapter 7. The environmental and energy impacts
of the regulatory alternatives that result from combining the impacts of
the various storage tank, mix equipment, and coating operation control
options also were presented in Chapter 7.
Tables E-l through E-3 present the control option configurations and
control levels for the three emission sources: storage tanks, mix
equipment, and coating operation, respectively. Table E-4 presents the
annual VOC emission levels, and Table E-5 presents the 1990 estimated
national annual VOC emissions for all possible control options for each
emission source. Tables E-6 through E-9 present the annual wastewater
discharges, annual waterborne VOC emissions, and the 1990 estimated
national wastewater and waterborne VOC emissions, respectively. The annual
and estimated 1990 national annual solid waste impacts for the three
emission sources are presented in Tables E-10 and E-ll.
Tables E-12 through E-15 present the annual electrical energy, natural
gas, steam, and total energy requirements for the emission sources. The
1990 national annual energy demand is presented in Table E-16. Tables E-17
and E-18 present the annual secondary pollutants resulting from the
generation of electrical energy for the mix equipment and coating
operation. The requirements for storage tanks were negligible. The
secondary pollutants from the magnetic tape coating line are presented in
Table E-19. The annual secondary pollutants from the combustion of natural
gas for the coating operation and line are presented in Table E-20. There
are no control options requiring the use of natural gas (i.e.,
incinerators) for the storage tanks and mix equipment. The annual
secondary pollutants from steam generation are presented in Tables E-21
through E-24 for the storage tanks, mix equipment, coating operation, and
line.

APPENDIX F—IMPACTS FOR CONTROL OF SOLVENT STORAGE TANKS
-------
APPENDIX F
IMPACTS FOR CONTROL OF SOLVENT STORAGE TANKS
The control options and the environmental and cost Impacts for control
of solvent storage tanks that were presented in Chapters 6 through 8 and
Appendix E have been revised. These revisions were not integrated into
those chapters. Instead, they are presented in this appendix.
The model storage tank parameters are presented 1n Table F-l. The
control options for storage tanks are presented 1n Table F-2. Control
option 1 (baseline) 1s an uncontrolled storage tank. Control option 2
requires installation of a conservation vent set at 17.2 kPa (2.5 psig)
pressure and 0.215 kPa (0.5 ounces) vacuum on a properly designed tank. At
this setting, all breathing emissions are eliminated, but working losses
are uncontrolled. This option results in an average control efficiency of
50 percent for the model solvents and tank sizes. Installation of a
pressure relief valve set at 103 kPa (15 psig) (control option 3), which
would eliminate all breathing losses and approximately 80 percent of the
working losses, results 1n an average control efficiency of 90 percent.
The installation of a 103 kPa (15 psig) pressure relief valve requires the
use of a tank of different design from the atmospheric tanks used at lower
pressure. Thus, the control system using either the pressure relief valve
or the conservation vent consists of the valve plus the tank. Control
options 4A and 4B require the venting of all tank emissions to a separate,
disposable carbon adsorption system and to a carbon adsorber controlling
coating operation emissions, respectively.
Tables F-3 and F-4 present the annual VOC emission levels and the 1990
estimated national VOC emission levels for the model storage tanks (group
of tanks), respectively. The amount and value of recovered solvent are
presented in Table F-5. The capital and annual 1zed costs of conservation
vents for control of solvent storage tank emissions are presented in
Tables F-6 and F-7. Because a similar type of tank is used for both the
baseline and conservation vent options, the only cost elements considered
for control option 2 are the vent itself and the solvent that is prevented
from escaping.
For control option 3 (the installation of a pressure relief valve),
the cost of the entire control system of valve plus tank must be compared
to the cost of the vent and tank control system of control option 2
(installation of a conservation vent). The Installed costs for the two
types of tanks for various sizes are presented in Table F-8. Within the
F-l
-------
accuracy of these estimates, the two types of tanks for control options 2
and 3 cost the same. There is a difference of a few hundred dollars in
the cost of the two types of vents. However, in comparing the control
systems (vent plus tank), the cost of the vents is within the variability
of the tank cost estimates. Thus, there is no capital cost increase for
installing a pressure vessel system compared to a conservation vent/
atmospheric tank system. Therefore, the only factor considered in the
annualized costs of pressure relief valves for control of solvent storage
tanks is the value of the solvent that is prevented from escaping. The
annualized costs are a net credit ranging from $31/yr for the research
model plant to $793/yr for the typical model plant (see Table F-5).
The capital and annualized costs for control option 4A (separate,
disposable carbon adsorber) are presented in Tables F-8a and F-8b,
respectively. The capital and annualized costs for control option 48
(common carbon adsorber) are presented in Tables F-8c and F-8d,
respectively.
Table F-9 summarizes the total installed capital and annualized costs
for the storage tank control options and also presents the annualized cost
per unit area of tape coated. Tables F-10 and F-ll present the average and
incremental cost effectiveness of the solvent storage tank control options,
respectively.
There are no wastewater discharges, waterborne VOC emissions, energy
requirements, or secondary pollutants for the conservation vent or pressure
relief valve control options. The wastewater, solid waste, energy
requirements, and secondary air pollutant emissions for control options 4A
and 4B are presented in Tables F-12 through F-15.

16. ABSTRACT
. >*DO I ri/-M- I
Standards of Performance for the control of VOC emissions from magnetic tape coating
lines are being proposed under the authority of Section 111 of the Clean Air Act.
These standards would apply to all new,modified, and reconstructed magnetic tape
coating lines using at least 38 cubic meters of solvent per year in the production of
magnetic tape. This document contains background information and environmental and
economic impact assessments of the regulatory alternatives considered in developing
the proposed standards.
