                             INTRODUCTION

This document describes the methods for obtaining stationary source
hydrocarbon emission inventory information, cataloguing the information
consistent with the National Emission Data System (NEDS), and presenting
the information for the evaluation of control strategies.  The acquisi-
tion of statistical data and the procedure for surveying hydrocarbon
stationary sources are described step-by-step.  Both the manual approach
and the use of computer data handling system are discussed for the
analysis of data.  Methodology development and application to the EPA
Regional Air Pollution Study (RAPS) is also presented.

The definition of hydrocarbon emissions concerned in this report should
be clarified.  Hydrocarbons are normally thought of as compounds whose
molecules consist of atoms of hydrogen and carbon only.  Organic com-
pounds include all compounds of carbon except the oxides of carbon, the
carbides and the carbonates.  Therefore, hydrocarbons are organic com-
pounds.  However, all organic compounds, including those which contain
additional elements such as nitrogen,  oxygen and chlorine, are also
defined here as hydrocarbons.  Throughout the report, the term hydro-
carbon emissions will be synonymous with gaseous and the volatile portion
of particulate organic compounds entering the atmosphere.

This report contains five additional chapters.  Chapter II reviews the
programs concerning the reduction of hydrocarbon emissions.  Chapter III
describes the methods for collecting information of the study area.
                                                             I
Chapter IV delineates the procedure for selecting and surveying the

-------
 hydrocarbon stationary sources.  Chapter V discusses both the manual
and computer assisted methods for compiling and presenting the data.
And Chapter VI specifically addresses the utilization of this methodology
to the Regional Air Pollution Study Program.

                              CHAPTER II
                     REVIEW OF HYDROCARBON PROGRAMS

Since the signing of the Clean Air Act and its amendments of 1970, many
programs have been and are being conducted in the area of pollution
related to hydrocarbon emissions.  A review of the programs dealing
with air quality standards, existing and evolving regulations, and the
present emissions inventory systems, will lead to an adequate definition
of the type of inventory information needed and the methods for col-
lecting this information.

AIR QUALITY STANDARDS

EPA has promulgated two air quality control standards directly or in-
directly concerned with hydrocarbons.  The photochemical oxidant (or
ozone) standard states that the hourly average concentration shall not
exceed 0.08 ppm and the non-methane hydrocarbon standard states that the
6 to 9 a.m. average should not exceed 0.24 ppm (measured as "carbon").
The non-methane hydrocarbon standard was designed solely to meet the
oxidant standard.  The document on Air Quality Criteria for Hydrocarbons
       2
(AP-64)  clearly concludes that "our present state of knowledge does not
demonstrate any direct health effects of the gaseous hydrocarbon in the
ambient air on populations, although many of the effects attributed to
photochemical smog are indirectly related to ambient levels of these
hydrocarbons."

Research programs have developed methods for assessing the reactivity
of various organic compounds present in auto exhaust and recently in

-------
the solvent and surface coating industries.  The reactivities of the
compounds vary and classifications have been made according to classes
            3
of compounds  or for specific compounds as in Table 1.  However, "with-
out additional information on the composition of the total hydrocarbon
mixture and variability, it is difficult to appraise the relationships
in the atmosphere between total hydrocarbon or non-methane hydrocarbon
                                          2
concentrations and photochemical effects."   Methane, a photochemically
inactive hydrocarbon usually comprises more than half of total atmos-
pheric  hydrocarbon.  An attempt to correlate photochemical products
with non-methane hydrocarbons/total hydrocarbons has been made for sev-
            4
eral cities.   This has resulted in the development of the Appendix J
curve, Figure 1, of the Federal Register (August,1971), which is used
in the implementation plans to determine the percent reduction required
in total hydrocarbon emissions in order to achieve the photochemical
oxidant standard.  One should note this curve was formed using the upper
limit oxidant-nonmethane hydrocarbon points of various mixtures in cer-
tain cities over a certain period.  It does not reflect the actual rela-
tionship of atmospheric hydrocarbons to photochemical air pollution levels
over any study area.  The application is supposed to assure that more than
an adequate reduction is achieved.

STATUS OF NEDS FOR INVENTORYING HYDROCARBONS

Total hydrocarbons is one of the five criteria pollutants catalogued
according to point and area source categories.  Point and area sources
definitions, along with the procedure for coding the computer input
forms, are found in the "Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emissions
Inventory" - APTD 1135.   It should be added that a source could be in-
cluded as a point source if it can be controlled individually by a
specific regulation.  For example, the hydrocarbon regulation in Los
Angeles,  Rule 66, specifies "a person shall not discharge into the at-
mosphere more than 40 pounds of organic materials in any one day
(»v 5 tons per year) from any article, machine, equipment ..."   It

may be reasonable to choose 5 tons/year as a cut-off between point and
area sources.  The decision is an arbitrary one which also depends on
the ease and cost of control and the extent of the photochemical problem.

Table 2 contains a summary' of the 1970 nationwide hydrocarbon emissions,
by source category.   Transportation was the largest hydrocarbon source,
emitting 13.2 million tons (48.4 percent of the total) in 1970.  The
other major sources are, evaporative losses of gasoline and solvents, and
industrial process losses.  Combined, these sources contributed 9.6 mil-
lion tons (35.5 percent of the total), in 1970.

                3
Another estimate  of total hydrocarbon emissions is shown in Table 3.
This summary presents emissions from stationary source categories which
are generally higher than comparable estimates in Table 2 due to varia-
tions in methodology and data sources.  The table also provides estimates
of "high reactivity" emissions.  "High reactivity" emissions are defined
on the basis of photochemical reactivity or smog contribution as deter-
mined by simulative laboratory studies and represents that portion of
emissions from the various source categories with a composite reactivity
index of six or greater (see Table 1).  High reactivity does not neces-
sarily correlate with biological response.

Unlike the carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, which are specific com-
pounds, the total hydrocarbon emissions consist of natttero'us types of
organic compounds of varying toxicity and photochemical reactivity.
These organic compounds may be emitted as a single compound or in com-
binations with certain others.  The types and combinations of these
compounds clearly depend on the process and item/product being manu-
factured or serviced.  For some process categories, such as dry clean-
ing and degreasing, where operations are similar and standardized, the
type of pollutant (as a compound) in many cases can be presently spec-
ified in the NEDS system via the Standard Classification Code (SCC).
For some other categories such as chemical manufacturing and surface
coating, the pollutant type information is not specified because the

SCC process codes have «3t bam. developed, or tfe« poll«*an€ is jm*fc
categorized as solvent, paint solvent, lacquaw solvent, ete.  Solvents
in mixtures vary but general classes could be outlined and SCC's defined.
Still, for other categories such as area sources, where no SCC listing
exists, only the material-being stored, consumed or combusted is known.
Emission factors are applied to these area source categories to calcu-
late the total hydrocarbon emissions.  If it is ever needed, the types,
amount and variability from each area source category could be deter-
mined.  For example, the marketing of gasoline certainly emits most of
the compounds found in gasoline and the more volatile in larger quanti-
ties.  Also, combustion of certain fuels usually produce various types
of organic compounds within a limited concentration range.

REGULATIONS FOR THE CONTROL OF HYDROCARBON

A critical review of the existing and proposed regulations for the con-
trol of hydrocarbon emissions from stationary sources has recently ap-
                                               Q
peared in the Journal of Air Pollution Control.   In summary, the
various state and local agencies having a photochemical oxidant prob-
lem, have adopted some variation of the Los Angeles Rule 66.

Recently the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPC) has recom-
mended modifications of Rule 66 for the control of Organic Solvents.
These are proposed for use as new Federal Guidelines.  These regulations
or some slight modifications of them might eventually be adopted by the
states or local agencies considering control of stationary hydrocarbon
        9
sources.

It is evident that some of these regulations at times apply selective
control to the particular categories or pollutant types.  For example,
                                                         9
below is a part of the regulation on organic solvent use:
                                 11

-------
    A person shall not discharge into the atmosphere more than
    40 pounds of organic materials in any one day, nor more than
    8 pounds in any one hour, from any article, machine, equip-
    ment or other contrivance used under conditions other than
    described in section (a), (drying) for employing, or applying,
    any photochemically reactive solvent, as defined in section (k),
    or material containing such photochemically reactive solvent,
    unless said discharge'has been reduced by at least 85 percent.

    For the purposes of this rule, organic solvents include
    diluents and thinners and are defined as organic materials
    which are liquids of standard conditions and which are used
    as dissolvers, viscosity reducers or cleaning agents, except
    that such materials which exhibit a boiling point higher than
    220°F at 0.5 millimeter mercury absolute pressure or having
    an equivalent vapor pressure shall not be considered to be
    solvents unless exposed to temperatures exceeding 200°F.
    For the purposes of this rule, a photochemically reactive
    solvent is any solvent with an aggregate of more than 20
    percent of its total volume composed of the chemical com-
    pounds classified below or which exceeds any of the fol-
    lowing individual percentage composition limitations,
    referred to the total volume of solvent:

        1.  A combination of hydrocarbons, alcohols, al-
            dehydes, esters, ethers or ketones having an
            olefinic type of unsaturation:  5 percent;

        2.  A combination of aromatic compounds with eight
            or more carbon atoms to the molecule except
            ethylbenzene:  8 percent;

        3.  A combination of ethylbenzene, ketones having
            branched hydrocarbon structures, trichlo-
            roethylerte or toluene:  20 percent.
As specific and well defined as these regulations may be, the complex
problem of evaluating the number and type of hydrocarbons emissions
from a plant or class of industries still exists.


Under different circumstances, EPA has used different reactivity criteria

in developing control strategies.  The control regulations for automotive

emissions require the control of all hydrocarbons.  The regulations for
gasoline marketing and distribution control all emissions, except that in

some areas CL to C- paraffins, acetylene and benzene are exempted.  For


                                 12

-------
solvent usage, where control technology is not available, use of less
reactive compounds has been permitted according to regulations similar
to those given above.

CONCLUSION

From these earlier discussions, it is apparent that regulations have
been and are being developed with the concept of photochemical reac-
tivity.  Up to now EPA has relied on the Appendix J relationship in
the development of the implementation plans because of the unknown
makeup and reactivity of the many organic components involved in the
complicated photochemical reactions and forming oxidants.  Since re-
search is actively providing more information on these relationships,
it appears that an accurate catalogue for inventorying hydrocarbons by
type should be developed.  The cataloguing of emissions should be con-
sistent with the existing and eventual control strategies for meeting
the oxidant standard.  Toxicity effects should also be considered with
the expectation that some organic compounds, i.e., vinyl chloride, will
fall into the hazardous pollutant category.

                              CHAPTER III
                         DESCRIPTION OF REGION

To properly study a hydrocarbon emission problem for an area in question,
it is necessary to have a complete description of the region.  After the
study area has been chosen, all necessary maps of the area should be ob-
tained.  City and county maps can usually be supplied by the State De-
partment of Commerce and Development.  Traffic count maps should be ob-
tained from local and state highway departments and from metropolitan
planning agencies.  USGS maps should be used to identify the location
(UTM's) of point sources.

It is very helpful prior to mailing a questionnaire, to have a general
understanding of the types of major industries that exist in the study
area.  A list of manufacturing employees and/or number of establish-
ments versus SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) can quickly re-
veal the major type of manufacturing industries in the area.  This
information can be obtained from the latest published Bureau of Census
Data or the State Industrial Director.  Table 4, constructed for the
Boston AQCR, indicated SIC 38, 36, 31, 30 and 27 to be major industries.
Petroleum bulk storage and distribution and dry cleaning establishments
would also be included in any inventory because they are know emitters
of hydrocarbons.

Statistical information that will be needed for the apportionment of
hydrocarbon emissions to cities, towns, and counties are the following:
population, number of establishments, number of manufacturing employees
per SIC for cities, towns, counties, Standard Metropolitan Statistical
                                14

Areas  (SMSA) and state.  This information is usually available in
Bureau of Census publications.  Information about the labor force, pop-
ulation characteristics and gengpsal information for cities and towns
can possibly be obtained from the local Development Council or the State
Department of Labor.  Often it is compiled in monographs for the respec-
tive city or town by state agencies.

Data concerning the amount of fuel consumed, transferred, stored, and
produced for each state can be obtained from the "Mineral Industry Sur-
veys" prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines.

Information about airport operations that are in the study area can be
obtained from the Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration.

Other ways of obtaining statistical information, which may not have
been previously mentioned, can be found by referring to the reference
sections in the "Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emission Inventory"
(APTD 1135).
Metropolitan Boston Intrastate Air Quality Control Region, Figure 2,
was a typical area chosen for a hydrocarbon emission study.    For
this region the city replaced the county concept followed in NEDS.

                              CHAPTER  IV
             HYDROCARBON STATIONARY SOURCE IDENTIFICATION

A primary purpose of a hydrocarbon inventory  is to  identify stationary
point sources.  This is best undertaken by means of a stationary  source
questionnaire.  One byproduct of the questionnaire mailing is the
gathering of information about small companies that do not emit hydro-
carbons  in sufficient quantity to qualify as  point  sources.  Although
these sources are small, they are numerous and may  represent a sub-
stantial portion of the total hydrocarbons being emitted.  The emissions
from these area sources should be included in the NEDS area source file.

Hydrocarbon stationary sources can be  broken  down into the following
categories:  fuel combustion, solid waste, process and evaporation
sources.  Fuel combustion includes the burning of coal, oil, gas, and
wood for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial use.
Solid waste stationary sources are on-site incineration, and open burn-
ing.  Point and area source information for both fuel combustion and
solid waste can be obtained from the existing NEDS file.  It is felt
that there is no real need to re-examine these point and area sources
because of past emphases placed on them as emitters of criteria pollu-
tants.  The rest of this chapter discusses process and evaporative sta-
tionary sources.

PROCESS AND EVAPORATIVE SOURCES

Frequently hydrocarbon emissions from process and evaporative sources
have not been carefully cataloged in the past.  Therefore, it is
                               18

-------
necessary to re-examine the industries in the study area.  A question-
naire designed specifically for particular classes of industries is
effective in gathering the necessary process, emission  and emission
control information.

The questionnaire should be designed for three types of establishments:
the manufacturing industries, the dry cleaners and the bulk petroleum
products distributors.

Manufacturing Industries - (Questionnaire Design)

The operations that frequently emit hydrocarbons from the manufacturing
industries are listed below.
    1.  Degreasing
    2.  Surface coating
        a.  Fabric or rubberized
        b.  Protective or decorative
        c.  Printing
        d.  Miscellaneous surface coating
    3.  Other manufacturing operations
        a.  Process losses
        b.  Bulk storage

The questionnaire for these manufacturing industries is shown in
Appendix A, Table A-l.  On the first page, general information is re-
quested.  Plant name and mailing address, plant address, person to con-
tact, number of manufacturing employees, etc., are required for identifi-
cation, scale up and completion of NEDS.  To assist the respondent a
guide  (Page 1, Item G) is provided indicating the pages that should be
completed for the operations performed at the plant.  If the plant does
not emit hydrocarbons, the respondent signs the form and returns it so
he will not be recontacted.
                                 19

-------
Degreasing - In many industries, the fabricated product must be de-
greased before the application of surface finishes.  The major solvents
used in degreasing operations, Stoddard, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, perch-
loroethylene, methylene chloride and trichloroethylene are listed on the
questionnaire.  Space, of. course, is also provided for other solvents.
The respondent is also asked to identify the amount of each solvent pur-
chased and returned for reprocessing.  In order to assist in the deter-
mination of how much solvent is being sold in the area, the name of the
solvent supplier is requested.  The major solvent suppliers, if willing
to disclose what may be considered as proprietary information, could
provide information concerning total solvent usage within the area and
help in the identification of major sources.

Surface Coating - The section concerning surface coating, should be
handled carefully because solvents are added to the purchased coating.
A distinction must be made between quantity of coating purchased and
its solvent content, and the quantity of solvent added to the coating
for dilution.  The amount of solvent used for cleaning purposes is
also requested.  Since several solvents are often used, the type and
percentage of the major solvents in the coating should be indicated
on the questionnaire.

Manufacturing - The last operation in this major category is manufac-
turing.  This part is a catch all, which includes such industries as
asphalt roofing, plywood/particle board products and chemical manu-
facturing.  Space is provided to describe the process or operation,
to indicate the material being processed, to indicate the throughput
at the source and to indicate the percentage and types of solvents being
used and lost to the atmosphere.

In order to obtain the information required to fill out a NEDS form
for a point source, one last page of information is needed.  This part
of the questionnaire concerns itself with control equipment and stack
                               20

-------
information.  Every piece of equipment that has been mentioned in any
previous page of the questionnaire should be given a unique source
"identification number.  This number is used to match a piece of control
equipment or a stack to the proper piece of operating equipment.  In-
formation that is needed includes the following:
   •   Process or operation having a stack and/or
       control equipment
   •   Control equipment specification
   •   Efficiency of the control equipment and its
       date of installation
   •   Stack information: height, diameter, gas temperature
       and velocity

The date of installation can be used to double check the reported ef-
ficiency of that equipment.  If a piece of equipment is 50 years old
and it is reported at 99 percent efficiency, a reasonable doubt exists
as to the reported values.

Dry Cleaning - (Questionnaire Design)

Dry cleaning is the second category for which a questionnaire should be
developed.  It can be a separate questionnaire or incorporated into the
manufacturing industries questionnaire as shown in Table A-l.  Dry
cleaners are requested to complete page 2 instead of pages -3- to -8-
of the manufacturing industries questionnaire.  General, stack, control
and bulk storage information remains the same.  The dry cleaning opera-
tion uses basically two types of solvents; perchloroethylene and some
form of Stoddard solvent.  The users of Stoddard solvent will, in al-
most all cases, use a type of process called a transfer machine.  It is
called a transfer process because after the clothes are washed they are
transferred to a separate dryer.  The physical process of moving the
wet clothes necessitates that there will be a large evaporative loss.
The second type of process used in dry cleaning is called a dry-to-dry
                               21

-------
machine and  is also used by coin operated cleaning  establishments.  This
process does not  involve a transfer of clothes.  The drying cycle is
performed in the  same machine as the washing cycle.  The question of
what type of process is being used should be included  in order to check
the usage figures of solvents.  For the  same amount, of clothes cleaned
and for the same  type of solvent being used, the transfer process should
use more solvent  than the dry-to-dry process.  As in the manufacturing
questionnaire, the names of the suppliers of solvents  are requested to
assist in the determination of solvent usage in the area.

Bulk Storage of Petroleum Products (Questionnaire Design)

The last major category is bulk st.orage of gasoline and other petroleum
and petrochemicals.   In order to obtain information about storage tanks
that a company may have on its premises,  an abbreviated form of a bulk
storage section is sent to all manufacturing industries (Section VII
of Questionnaire).  This shortened form asks for information concerning
solvent type, capacity of the tank, annual throughput,  and fill and
control equipment.

The complete form, Table A-2, is sent to all major oil  companies,
petroleum and petrochemical distributors, utilities,, and airports
that have large bulk storage tanks.  The questionnaire  asks for in-
formation such as tank dimensions, paint on tank, average vapor space
height, type of roof, vapor pressures of liquid, type of fill, etc.  All
necessary information is asked so that the emissions from the tank can
be calculated based upon methods described in the Compilation of Air
Pollution Factors, AP-42.    Emissions from product transfer are cal-
culated by obtaining the type of fill (splash or submerged) and through-
put at the loading racks.
                               22

-------
DEVELOPMENT OF MAILING LIST

After a questionnaire has been developed for the specific area in
question, a mailing list of potential hydrocarbon emission sources
should be compiled.  Thi-s list of companies can be. obtained from many
sources.  Some examples are:
   •   State Industrial Directories
   •   State Department of Corporations and Taxation
   •   Dun and Bradstreet, Industrial Directory
   •   Yellow pages of telephone directories
   •   Thomas Register
   •   Trade and professional societies
   •   Existing NEDS and CDS for the state
   •   State Air Pollution Control Agency
   •   Local communities to obtain appraisal of industrial activity
       and listing of solvent storage facilities
   •   Manufacturers, suppliers and users of solvents and control
       equipment.

The selection of companies to be contacted is based on their SIC clas-
sification, with consideration given to their size and nature of their
actual operations through preliminary contact with the firm, local
municipalities or suppliers.  Information from two previous studies
shows significant use of hydrocarbons in the manufacturing industries
(SIC 20 to 39), bulk storage and distribution of petroleum products
(SIC 5171) and dry cleaning services (SIC 7216).

After the selection has been made of the industrial categories (SIC codes)
to be surveyed by questionnaire, it is then necessary to determine if
all the companies in the SIC will receive the questionnaires or whether
only the most probable users of solvent based upon employee size will
receive the questionnaire.  Experience from past studies shows that it
is helpful to make preliminary telephone calls to representative com-
panies in an SIC.  The information obtained can then be used to determine
                               23

-------
if all companies in this class would receive a questionnaire or whether
for example, only companies with 50 employees or more should receive
the questionnaire.

Table 5 presents guidelines that may be useful in the selection of
companies based upon a previous Rhode Island study.  The emission em-
ployee ratio is the ratio of tons of hydrocarbon emitted per employee
as found from respondents.  This figure can be used to determine the
size of companies that should be inventoried.  For example, if it is
decided that all companies emitting more than 5 tons of hydrocarbon
will be considered as point sources and the SIC emission employee
ratio is 0.5, then all companies with 10 or more employees should be
surveyed.  It should be emphasized that this table is based on a small
sample of all the U.S. industries and should be used with discretion
until more hydrocarbon surveys are conducted.

The last two categories should be completely surveyed.  A list of
petroleum bulk stations and terminals can be obtained from the follow-
ing sources:
   1.  State Air Pollution Control Agency
   2.  Department of Corporations and Taxation
   3.  New England Yellow Pages
   4.  Petroleum Industry Publications

A list of dry cleaning establishments can be obtained from either the
Yellow Pages or from the Regional Dry Cleaning Trade Association.

The development of the mailing list involves classification of the com-
panies that have been chosen to be surveyed into a logical order.  But,
before this is done it is necessary to minimize duplicate mailings.
To do this all the mailing information about a company is keypunched on
computer cards.  This information is then sorted alphabetically by city
or town.  Visual spot checking will easily eliminate most of the dupli-
cate names from the computer printout.  However, even though extreme
                               24

caution is undertaken in developing the list,  duplication of companies
will still exist.  This is due to the fact that some companies have
more than one name (e.g., parent company, subsidiary, old name).   This
type of duplication generally will not be discovered until it is  time
to recontact those companies that did not initially respond.

A logical order in which to list and classify companies is first  by
SIC, then by city or county and finally alphabetically within the city
or county.  This order will increase the efficiency of all future work
involved in data handling and in recording and analyzing response in-
formation.

COMPUTER LABELS AND WORK SHEET

A computer program can be very helpful in the  mailing of the question-
naire, and in the production of a work sheet used for logging the re-
turns.  The computer program should produce duplicate mailing labels.
The first label is attached to the general information page.   This is
done for identification of returned questionnaires and for name and
mailing address correction.  The second label  is  attached to  the  out-
side of the envelope.  The label is shown below in Figure 3.

Figure 4 shows the work sheet listing of the companies in identifica-
tion number order.  It is used to record the dates questionnaires were
mailed and returned, the telephone numbers, the telephone contact notes,
and comments.  The comment space can contain the type of source, pro-
cess, emissions and number of manufacturing employees required for data
analysis.  The computer program listing for doing the above tasks is
found in Appendix B.

MAILING OF QUESTIONNAIRE

There are certain procedures that should be followed to assure a good
questionnaire response.  Legal requirements should also be considered;
for example, some state regulations may require that prior to the mail-
ing of a questionnaire ample notice be given in local papers.  A cover
letter such as that shown in Figure 5 should accompany all question-
naires, this letter should state the purpose of the study, make refer-
ence to any proposed or applicable regulations, and request cooperation.
General procedures and instructions for the previously designed ques-
tionnaire such as those shown in Figure 6 should also be provided.
These instructions should request completion and return of the ques-
tionnaire by a specific date and specify the year for which the data is
requested.  The instructions also should explain that the questionnaire
was designed for a wide variety of operations which involve solven^^ ,-."
and organic chemical usage, and that some questions may not apply^txj..
                                                              • -.,
a particular facility.  A telephone number should be supplied in case
a respondent has questions concerning the form.

The mailing of the questionnaire can be performed in two ways.  The
first method is by registered mail.  Using this method the agency is
assured that the questionnaire is received by the company.  The per-
cent response will probably be higher than if than if the letter was
sent by conventional mail.  However, there is still no guarantee that
the company will return the form.  It is felt that the slight increase
in response does not justify the added expense of sending every company
a registered letter.

    Dear Sirs:

         The enclosed questionnaire is being sent under the auspices of the Massa-
    chusetts Department of Public Health, Division of Environmental Health, Bureau
    of Air Quality Control, in cooperation with the United States Environmental
    Protection Agency. The information being sought concerns the usage of organic
    (solvent containing) materials, and will be used to determine the effect of
    such materials on the air quality levels in the southern portion of the
    Commonwealth.

         We would appreciate your assistance and cooperation in' answering those
    questions that are applicable to your operations. Even if your facility does not
    utilize organic materials it is required that you return the questionnaire so that
    you will not be bothered by a follow-up phone call.

         Many thanks for your cooperation in this effort.

                                                Very truly yours,
                                                Gilbert T. Joly

The second method is by conventional first class mail.  This method
previously used in past studies has proved to be effective if, on the
outside envelope, the following expression is clearly printed,
"ATTENTION: PLANT MANAGER."  This expression directs the envelope to
the proper supervisory personnel and reduces the chances^ of the en-
velope being discarded.  Included with the questionnaire should be a
self-addressed stamped envelope.  The public is more likely to return
the questionnaire if the postage has already been prepaid.

One factor that should be considered before the mailing is whether
or not to stagger the mailing over a time period.  If a large number of
questionnaires (1,000 or greater) are to be mailed, a staggering of
the mailing should be considered.  This allows for a more even flow of
returns and eases the task of recording information contained in the
returned questionnaires.  If the mailing is spread out over extended
periods of time the return date of the questionnaire should also be
staggered accordingly.  Companies should be given a reasonable amount
of time to respond.  For most companies, approximately 3 to 4 weeks is
sufficient.

Generally, responses will start coming in within a few days after mail-
ing.  Many of the early returns will be from companies that do not use
hydrocarbons in their facility.  Also, some of the envelopes will be
returned from the Post Office because either the establishment is out
of business or because the company is no longer at that address.   New
addresses for companies that have moved can be obtained by either look-
ing up their addresses in the telephone book or by contacting the
Department of Corporations and Taxations.

LOGGING OF RETURNS AND FOLLOW UP

Emission calculation can be performed on the questionnaires as soon as
they are returned.  One of five classifications should be designated on
the return:

                               31

-------
    •   P     Hydrocarbon point source
    •   A   - Hydrocarbon area source
    •   N   - No hydrocarbon emission, non-source
    •   OOB - Out of business
    •   R     Recontact for reclassification
Emission from many sources within a company should be broken down
into individual point sources.  The smallest point source that should
be considered within a company is one having at least 1 ton of emissions.

As the responses come in, changes should be made to correct any mis-
takes made in the company's name, address or SIC classifications.  In-
formation required for data compilation is recorded on the work sheets
described in Chapter V.

RECONTACTING

Approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the questionnaires were initially
mailed, recontacting should begin.  This can be accomplished by either
of two methods, telephone or letter.  The advantages to recontacting
by telephone are direct verbal communication, and lower costs when
the calls are local.  Direct communication quickly identifies any
problem areas.  Process information can also be obtained over the tele-
phone.  In an average 8-hour work day it is possible for one person to
recontact approximately 30 to 40 companies.  A good approach is to
select the larger companies in SIC categories emitting significant
amount of hydrocarbons.  Certainly all the bulk storage establishments
should be recontacted.
                               32

                               CHAPTER V
                           DATA COMPILATION

There are two approaches for compiling the data Into summary tables that
can be used to analyze hydrocarbon source emissions and study the ef-
fects of regulations.  One approach is to process the information man-
ually.  The other is to use a computer data handling system.  The
selection of one approach over another depends on several factors.  The
computer approach is advantageous when the data base is large, a variety
of tabular summaries have to be produced and the tasks are iterative.
The computer approach also forces organization.   Since the tasks are
done systematically, this leads to accuracy and efficiency.

It has been noted that the methodology for inventorying hydrocarbons
requires information on numerous organic compounds from a variety of
processes.  Because of this complexity and the eventual need for many
studies of this type to be done for different regions (states, AQCR)
in the future, it is recommended that a computer data handling system
be developed similar to that described in the paragraphs entitled
"Computer Data Handling System," in this chapter.  The manual approach,
which has been used as the basis for the development of the computer
data handling system, is described thoroughly in the section entitled
"Manual Approach."  It may be followed for small data bases or when
more flexibility or variation from the computer system approach is
desired.
                                33

-------
MANUAL APPROACH

The data in the questionnaires and the information gathered on the re-
turn log sheet are used to do a survey coverage analysis and to prepare
a point and area source listing work sheets by major emission categories.
Ihe extent of survey coverage and hydrocarbon emission information by
by category is then used to estimate total stationary source hydrocarbon
emissions.  The information on point source work sheets is coded onto
                                                          t
NEDS point source forms.  Area sources estimates for each major manu-
facturing and evaporative category are calculated and then summed for
entry by county into the evaporation field of the NEDS area source form.

Other hydrocarbon area source emissions for each county are calculated
either by the NEDS area source computer program or manually as specified
by the "Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emissions Inventory,"
APTD-1135 and'"Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors," AP-42.
Point source hydrocarbon emissions from fuel combustion and solid waste
are also obtained from the NEDS point source printout.

Total hydrocarbon emissions can be summarized by source category for
the region or each county as shown in Table 6.  The Pi chart in Fig-
ure 7 is an excellent way to illustrate the percent contribution of
each source category.  A table similar to Table 7 is used to list the
point sources.  Finally, an analysis of each source category can detail
the types of processes, types of hydrocarbon species emitted, and types
of equipment presently in use or available for control.

Survey Coverage Analysis

The extent of survey coverage and the resulting emissions is demon-
strated in Table 8.  The latest census data on the number of companies
and manufacturing employees by SIC presents a good accurate picture of
what can fully be surveyed.  The number of companies surveyed was based
                                34

on the selection procedure in Chapter IV, "Development of Mailing
List."  Hie responding information is obtained from the work sheets
completed as questionnaires were returned.  Hydrocarbon emissions are
normally calculated by scaling up to 100 percent manufacturing employee
coverage of the selected Industrial categories (two>, three-, or four-
digit SIC).

In certain cases no scale-up should be performed, because the number
of responding companies or the number of reported employees'exceeds the
latest census information.  Additional estimates and corrections are
made by a careful analysis of each SIC and major category (dry cleaning,
degreasing, printing, etc.)-  Statistical information or that obtained
from major solvent suppliers should also be considered in any reestima-
tion of survey information.

Point and Area Source Work Sheets

Hie point and area source work sheets are shown in Tables 9 and 10.
They are completed as an intermediate step prior to summarizing the
type and amount of hydrocarbon emissions by maj^or category, city/
county, or SIC.  They are also useful for developing the NEDS point
source structure and coding information.  Control equipment type and
efficiency, process type, and operating rate information may also bfe
variables for other summaries.

An entry is made for each point source belonging to a major category
such as dry cleaning, degreasing, etc.  Processing equipment or method,
industrial type and pollutant type are described to facilitate SCC
selection and decoding.  An attempt is made to select the appropriate
SCC by hydrocarbon type or mixture, otherwise a catch-all SCC ending
in 99 is chosen.

Summary of Hydrocarbon Emissions by Major Category, SIC and Pollutant

A table similar to Table 11 is constructed to analyze the hydrocarbon
emissions by SIC and major categories.  Point and area source emissions
are given by SIC for each type of pollutant.  The last f^ew columns give
the reported survey totals and the calculated nonreported survey totals.
The nonreported survey total is estimated using percent survey coverage
information and any additional estimates from national or regional
figures.  Any additional amount is apportioned to "SIC's by the extent
of the coverage and the reported hydrocarbon emissions within each SIC.
A discussion on the method for estimating nonreported emissions for
each category follows.  Calculation procedures are only detailed in the
paragraph entitled "Degreasing . "

Decreasing - Trichloroethylene, perchloroethyleite, and 1,1,1 trichloro-
ethane are the solvents most commonly used for vapor attd cold degreas-
ing.  Other solvents include methylene chloridfe, Stodttard solvent and
lesser quantities of others (ketones, alcohols, afonfatic compotihdfe,
etc.) which could be classified under "other."  Companies ela-ssified
within SIC codes 34 to 39 also account for most df the decreasing.
Table 12 summarizes the results of the survey artd the total non-
reported emissions.  The distribution of emissions from reporting
sources, Table 13, is also useful for descriptive and planning purposes.

The non-reported emissions based on a 100 percent coverage in each SIC
of the selected companies is calculated as follows:
Non-Reported Emissions =           Emissions) _ (R    ted Emlsslons)
                          coverage fraction
                         EN-R " ER/C
This assumes that emissions are proportional to the total number of
employees within the pertinent SIC codes.

For purposes of comparison, emissions should be estimated by other
methods.  One method is to obtain trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichlo-
                                                          12
roethane degreasing solvent usage from "Chemical Profiles"   or from
                                  13
the "Chemical Economics Handbook,"   and apportion them by any of these
three indicators: manufacturing employees within 34. to 39 Codes, total
manufacturing employees, or population.  The above indicators are given
in decreasing order of accuracy.  Another method is to obtain total
usage estimates from local supplier? who are well informed on marketing.
Reasonable judgment should be exercised to determine any increase or
decrease in the estimate depending upon coverage and any additional in-
formation known about the region.  By choosing the higher estimate, the
non-reported emissions figure would be conservative.  The control stra-
tegies would be more stringent, requiring a slightly higher reduction.

If additional emissions are estimated for the region,  they ctfa be appor-
tioned to SIC codes by the extent of the coverage and the quantity of
reported emissions.

The total non-reported and additional estimated emissions are consid-
ered as area sources (non-identified point sources and area sources)
and are reapportioned to pollutant categories by reported emissions.
The total regional area source emissions will become the degreasing
                                46

-------
portion of the NEDS area source county entries "Solvent Purchased."  This
regional total is apportioned to counties by  (1) non-responding 34 to 39
SIC manufacturing employees, (2) manufacturing employees in SIC 34 to
39, or (3) all manufacturing employees.  The  indicator is chosen in
decreasing order depending on availability of census data.

Dry Cleaning - The emissions from this industry are due to two types of
solvents; petroleum or Stoddard solvent and perchloroethylene.  Per-
chloroethylene is used in much larger quantities than Stoddard, and
about 80 percent of the perchloroethylene produced annually is used by
dry cleaners.  The remaining 20 percent is used for chemical inter-
mediates and degreasing.  All solvent purchased by dry cleaners is
assumed to be evaporated.

Total estimated emissions from the survey are calculated based on 100
percent establishment coverage for the one SIC 7216.  Three other
methods are available for comparing perchloroethylene usage.  The first
method is based on dollar receipts spent on dry cleaning from the
                   14
Census of Business.  The amount is calculated using conversion factors
from the International Fabricare Institute.  In 1970, $1.50 was spent
per 3.5 pounds of clothes cleaned and an average of 6.9 gallons of
perchloroethylene is used to clean 1,000 pounds of clothes.  The second
method is based on estimates from major manufacturers and suppliers of
dry cleaning solvents.  They usually can provide information on re-
gional usage.  The third method is based on EPA consumption factors,
2 pounds of solvent evaporated per person per year, or 2.7 pounds per
person per year for colder climates.

Solvent usage by each county is determined by using the results of the
point sources from the questionnaire and by proportioning the remaining
estimated solvent used in this region.  Two apportioning methods are
available.  The first method of propertionment is based upon the num-
ber of dry cleaners who did not respond to the questionnaire and an
                                47

-------
estimate of the population served by those establishments.  The popula-
tion served by the nonrespondents is determined by multiplying the
fraction of dry cleaners that did not respond by the total population
of that county.  The second method assumes that each nonrespondent uses
an equal amount of solvent, and apportions the remaining estimated sol-
vent by the number of nonrespondents per county.

Surface Coating - This  section will discuss the hydrocarbon emissions
resulting  from the application of coatings.  This category doesn't
include hydrocarbon emission resulting  from chemical manufacturing, food
and agricultural products manufacturing, petroleum refining, basic wood
manufacturing, and textiles refinishing.  Surface coating deals ex-
clusively with applying a thin layer of coating on the surface.  For
purposes of discussion, it has been divided into four categories:

        1.  Fabric or rubberized coating
        2.  Protective  or decorative coatings such as paints,
            lacquers, varnishes, etc.
        3.  Printing inks
        4.  Miscellaneous coatings such as adhesives and
            coatings for paper, leather, film and glass

Fabric or  rubberized coatings - This section discusses and estimates
the hydrocarbon emissions from establishments engaged in manufacturing
coated and impregnated  textiles, rubberized fabrics and other miscel-
laneous coated products such as insulating tapes and pipe wrap.  The
products are tailored from numerous decorative and/or protective poly-
meric coatings applied  to a variety of  fibrous, knitted, or nonwoven
                                                    16
textile support webs using the following techniques:
        •  Impregnation  or saturation process
        •  Surface coating process with
            1.  "Wet" or solvent-containing coatings
            2.  "Dry" or hot melt coatings (casting)
            3.  Lamination of preformed film
                                 48

-------
Although most polymeric compounds can be applied by any one of these
methods, certain factors such as uniformity, esthetics, softness and
protection enter into the selection of the process.

For example, in polyvinyl.fabrics, the base layer  is applied either by
laminating the film or by casting the hot melt containing 5 percent
solvent  over a previously laid  adhesive.  An outer decorative  layer,
which  contains ink, polymer, and about 80 percent  solvent,  is  then
coated "wet" by knife-over-roll.  Only the saturation  and 'Vet"  surface
coating  processes  use significant quantities of  solvent which  will then
                                                     24
be emitted upon drying or curing the coated material.    Some  of the
solvents often used are toluene, naphtha, mineral  spirits,  and MEK.  The
classes  of coatings often applied are:  rubber,  cellulose derivatives,
polyvinyl, olefinic, polyester, acrylic, and polyurethanes.  Sometimes
epoxy  or silicone  adhesives  are used to bind the coating to the  fabric.
The emissions from them are  included in this section.

The industries covered by this  section are classified  by SIC 22  (2231,
2295,  2297) and 30.  Total emissions from each SIC category are  scaled
to 100 percent coverage according to manufacturing employees within
each SIC.  Since numerous types of coatings and  application techniques
exist, and any one coating can  be used in large  quaratei*tne«  in  any  one
area or establishment, a national-to-regional breakdown is  impractical.
That portion of the total emissions not included in point sources  is
apportioned as area sources  to  counties by SIC 22  and  30 manufacturing
employees.  It is  represented in the solvent purchased category.

Protective and decorative coatings (paints) - This section  includes the
application of paints, lacquers, varnishes, shellacs,  primers, and
enamels  for protective or decorative purposes.  This class  of  coatiags
is referred to by  the industry  as "paints" and are classified  into two
categories, industrial or trade paints.  Industrial paints  are products
that are formulated and sold to other manufacturers (frequently  in
                                49

-------
large containers) for factory application.  Trade paints are shelf
products that are sold through retail stores to the general public,
professional painters, and builders.  These products are largely archi-
tectural coatings for the outside and inside of new and existing struc-
tures.  Industrial paints that are applied in large quantities at a
fixed locations usually become classified as point sources.  Non-point
sources using industrial paints are accounted for in the "Solvents
Purchased" entry of the NEDS area source file.  Trade-sale paints are
by definition exclusively area sources and are included in the last
section.  But, because the emissions are estimated by the same method
and are also represented in NEDS by the field "Solvent Purchased," they
are discussed here.

Paints are applied by brushing, spraying, rolling, flow eoatiwg, or
dipping.  Industrial paints are us-ed in the Kamifactuating industries,
SIC 24 to 39, and automotive repair shops, SI€ 75.  Automotive repair
shops are almost always area sources, although if the methodology as
described in previous chapters is followed, some large auto body shops
should be contacted.  As before, total emissions are estimated from a
national-to-regional breakdown because of several factors, including
the inavailability of records of the quantities of the many types of
paints purchased, and information concerning the percentage of solvent
content in the purchased paint and the actual paint applied.

The methodology for estimating total paint solvents emitted from na-
tional figures to regional figures involves the use of two reference
sources and some assumptions about the density and average solvent con-
                                                  13
tent in paints.  The "Chemical Economics Handbook"     provides nation-
al estimates of industrial paint sale volume, solvent based trade sale
paint volume, and total solvent usage in paint.  From this information
it is possible to determine relative solvent emissions from industrial
and trade sale paints, if an average weight per gallon and average sol-
vent content could be determined for regional industrial or trade
                                50

-------
paints.  Unfortunately, definitive information regarding the above is
not always available from local industrial manufacturers and suppliers.
If we can consider the survey results as representative, then industrial
paints average about 9 Ib/gal and 67 percent solvent.  Using the CEH
figure of 400 x 10  gallons of industrial paint, then ^,200,000 tons of
solvents were emitted in the United States during 1970 from industrial
paint.  Since CEH reports that 1,700,000 tons of solvents were used in
1970, then 500,000 tons must have been used in solvent-based trade paints.
Solvent content of the 937,000 tons of solvent-base trade paints would
average 53 percent which is perhaps somewhat high.  Water-based trade
paints contain about 3.5 percent volatile hydrocarbons and for 1970 would
emit 50,000 tons of hydrocarbons.  National emissions can be estimated
for a different base year using growth rates also given in the above
reference.

Although regional apportioning factors could be based on manufacturing
employees for industrial paints and population for trade paints, the
                                            18
National Paint and Coating Association (NPC)   publishes a percentage
breakdown of industrial and trade paint usage for nine U.S. regions.  The
last survey accounted for almost one-half of the national sales.  The U.S.
Census of Transportation also publishes similar figures about every five
years.  Tables 14 and 15 compare the breakdowns for industrial and trade
paints obtained from NPC, 1967 census, and those calculated from regional
population and manufacturing employees.  Although the methods show good
agreement only for some regions, the latest NPC survey or census figures
should be applied.  They are the only direct measures of regional paint
sales.

To obtain state, county, or study area figures, regional figures can then
be apportioned by manufacturing employees for industrial paints and by
population for trade paints.

Printing - The printing ink industry is another surface coating category
that uses solvents.  There are five basic types of printing operations:

letter-press, flexographic, gravure, lithographic, a«d screen,  Whetfcer or
not hydrocarbon emissions occur depend on the particular type of ink u*ed
for particular methods of application.  However, certain types of inks are
often used with certain methods.  Table 16 indicates the range of percent
solvent content in inks for two drying methods versus the five printing
processes.1** W>20

The  flexographic and gravure process account  for approximately one-third
of all  inks used.  They mainly use  solvent-based inks containing 40 to
75 percent solvent, which  is then evaporated  on drying.  Water-base inks
are  also coming into use in the  flexographic  process.  Some of these
water-base inks also contain solvent (0 to 30 percent) for faster drying.
The  screen process uses oil and  lacquer-type  inks which  contain 0 to 60
percent solvents.  However, this class accounts for  less than 6 percent
of the national total  solvent used  for inks.  Letterpress and lithographic
inks, which account for about one-third of the total inks used, are oil-
based and emit some solvents when heat-set letterpress or heat-set web
offset  is used.  Alcohol type solvents are also used in  the water fountain
for  the lithographic process.

Oil  based inks are mostly  used in publications of periodicals and books
and  in commercial printing, whose SIC is  27  (272 and 275).  Flexographic
and  gravure printing,  which use  mainly solvent-based inks, is mostly used
in making miscellaneous converted paper products and paper-board con-
tainers, whose SIC is  26 (264 and 265).

Printing hydrocarbon emissions are scaled to a  100% coverage by manufac-
turing employees.  They can be compared to national figures  apportioned
to the study area.  National total solvent used by the printing industry
is found in the "American Inkmaker."    Applying a 7 percent annual growth
rate on the 1967 figures the solvent usage breakdown is given in Table 17.

The oil-based ink solvent is apportioned by manufacturing employees in
SIC 27, and the flexographic/gravure and other solvent is apportioned by
manufacturing employees in SIC 26.  The results are compared with the
survey figures respectively by SIC.  Additional regional information
about printing is also considered.  Any "additional" emissions are re-
distributed to SIC's and the area source total is apportioned to counties
by the indicator used in this section.

Miscellaneous Surface Coatings - This category encompasses the infrequent
operations such as the treatment of paper (SIC 26), refinishing of leather
(SIC 31), manufacture of magnetic tapes and fluorescent tubes (SIC 36),
manufacture of photographic films (SIC 38) and adhesives operations in any
other industries not covered above.

Paper is usually "converted" to end products by such treatments as
embossing, impregnating, saturating, and lamination.  The two classes of
coatings used are pigment coatings and barrier coatings.  Hydrocarbon
emissions occur from the adhesives that bind the pigment, and from the
solvent acting as a vehicle in the barrier coatings.
                                55

-------
Finishing of Leather involves the application of film-forming materials
to the grain to provide abrasion and stain resistance and the enhancement
of color.  Previously leather coatings were restricted to casein, shellac,
albumin, wax, and linseed oil.  However, today more sophisticated film-
forming polymeric substances are used and applied by rotary brush, flow
cpaters and rotary sprayers.  Organic solvents are used as dilutents for
                                                                     22
the polymeric coatings and are then emitted during the drying stages.
The industries that use leather and allied products for the manufacture
of shoes and furnishings are also a source of hydrocarbon emissions due
to solvents in the adhesives.

If the firms covered by these industries are numerous and not all were
surveyed emissions should be scaled by respective SIC manufacturing em-
ployees.  If, however, it is known that only a few companies are
doing these operations hydrocarbon emissions should not be scaled.  Some
of these rare operations are the manufacture of magnetic tapes, fluorescent
tubes and photographic films.  The first two involve the application of in-
organic particles (iron oxide, fluorescent compound) dispersed in a solvent
on to a base (plastic, glass) and the evaporation of the solvent by drying.

Photographic films are coated with polymeric dispersions and solutions
which contain solvents.  These solvents act as a vehicle to uniformly
apply the matrix of layer on to the plastic base film, and are later
evaporated and emitted to the atmosphere.

Hydrocarbon Emissions From Manufacturing Not Including Surface Coating
and Degreasing - Hydrocarbon emissions from this category occur when the
raw or intermediate material, itself, contains hydrocarbons of which
some or all may be driven off, or when hydrocarbon compounds are reacted
or mixed with the raw or intermediate material.  This category can nicely
be broken down by SIC industrial classes for discussion purposes.
Table 18 gives the type of processes which emit hydrocarbons.

For manufacturing categories, total hydrocarbon emissions should be
scaled only when numerous companies are doing the operations described
in the above table.  National consumption or production of certain pro-
ducts are of little value for regional breakdown, because the companies
are likely to be relatively few and unevenly distributed in the United
States compared to those doing surface coating, degreasing or dry clean-
ing.  Except for petroleum refining and certain chemical processing
operations, the hydrocarbon emissions from these manufacturing opera-
tions are relatively small as compared with surface coating.

Bulk Storage of Petroleum and Petrochemical Products - Hydrocarbon emis-
sions from three operations, the filling, storing and emptying of various
types of tanks, by the manufacturing industry, oil companies,  distributors,
utilities and airports are considered here.  Most of these three operations
are point sources and are coded into NEDS.  For example a fixed roof tank
might regularly be filled by a marine vessel and emptied by truck.
Storage emissions would be both from breathing and working losses.
Evaporative area sources are relatively few and are neglected by the
NEDS area source form.  Gasoline, the only petroleum product emitting
significant quantities of hydrocarbons at the retail level, is discussed
in a later section on "Exclusively Area Sources Emitting Hydrocarbons."
The data summary tables are different for this category.  Table 19 is a
good way to represent the data.  For each type of operation (or operating
variable) the emissions from each type of petroleum product are entered.
Emissions are calculated using EPA emission factors.

Emphasis has been placed on obtaining information from all bulk storage
sites because they are relatively few in number.  This is also important
because the emissions can only be recorded as point sources.  A check on
the questionnaire information can be made by obtaining petroleum transfer
                                              23

Engineers records (foreign, coast-wise, internal and local) receipts and
shipments of major petroleum products.  A flow diagram and material
balances for each product can clearly indicate the storage and transport
patterns of the region.  The sum of the transports at each entry or source
place can now be compared.  A significant difference would indicate review
of the possible storage sites in number and in the accuracy of the in-
formation provided.

Exclusively Area Sources Emitting Hydrocarbons

These sources are almost always considered area sources because either
they are relatively small emitters and numerous, or they are mobile.
This category consists of evaporation from application of trade paints,
evaporation from gasoline marketing, combustion of fuels in transporta-
tion, non-highway use of motor fuels, and combustion of miscellaneous
sources.  Area sources from stationary fuel combustion and solid waste
disposal have already been mentioned in the beginning of this chapter.
The methods for gathering this information is well documented in the
'tuide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emissions Inventory," APTD 1135.
We will therefore only comment on the first three listed above.

Evaporation From the Application of Trade Paints - The methodology for
estimating and apportioning the emissions to counties has already been
discussed in the section on Protective and Decorative Coatings--Paints.
The emissions from trade paints along with all other process and eva-
porative hydrocarbon area source emissions are entered in the "solvent
purchased" entry in NEDS for each county.

Evaporation From Gasoline Marketing - Gasoline is the only one of the
petroleum products, which is emitted in significant ammounts through retail
marketing.  A diagram of gasoline flow can be completed using the informa-
tion given in an earlier section on bulk storage and other references
found, in the methods for estimating county on-highway motor vehicle and
off-highway gasoline in "A Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emissions
                                 60

-------
Inventory," APTD-1135.  Figure 8 is  the  flow pattern  found in Rhode
Island.  The NEDS entry on county gasoline marketed is  the sum  of on-
highway and off-highway gasoline use.  Calculation methods are  also
documented in APTD-1135.  Evaporative emissions are calculated  using an
overall emission factor which is the summation of emission factors from
five gas station operations.  Emission factors are adjusted  for an
average gasoline vapor pressure.  The operations and  emission factors
at 4.6 psia vapor pressure are given in  Table 20.

Transportation - This is the largest hydrocarbon source and the accuracy
of the methodology for estimating the emissions is important.  Methods
for estimating the emissions are also given in APTD-1135 for all trans-
portation classes, motor vehicles, aircraft, railroads and vessels.
Since motor vehicle emissions are by far the largest, the methodology
                                                                 24
given in "An Interim Report on Motor Vehicle Emission Estimation"
should be followed.  Although this requires more information gathering
and processing, it estimates the emissions more accurately.

Miscellaneous Hydrocarbon Area Sources - Hydrocarbon emissions from these
sources are relatively small to the total for most cases.  APTD-1135
describes the methodology for estimating the following:

COMPUTER DATA HANDLING SYSTEM

The development of a computer data handling system involves coding the
information onto standard forms and programming the storage/retrieval,
processing and report generating functions.  The present National Emis-
sion Data System (NEDS) has been extensively developed to include and
accommodate these functions.  It remains to modify and add any defi-
ciencies in coding hydrocarbon point and area source information, and
to write the program(s) necessary to generate the tabular summaries
found in the "Manual Approach."  In this report, only the methodology
for generating the summaries is described.  The computer programs are
not provided.

Survey Coverage and Emission Summary Table

The establishment identification card described earlier for labels, and
a response card can be coded for entry into the computer.

The identification card contains the following information:
     • plant identification number
     • county, AQCR, city codes
     • SIC
     • name and address
                                 63

-------
The additional information required to complete the summary table would
be on the response card:
     • type of source (P, A, N, 0, tf)
       P = Point source; A = Area source;  N = Not a source;
       0 = Out of business; % = blank, non-respondent
     • number of manufacturing employees
     • emissions (tons/year) by major category
     • Q, 1; Questionnaire, Telephone information.

The response card can be completed as the questionnaires or telephone
information is received.  In addition, the identification information
should be verified.

Then a single computer program could read, process and summarize the
data in various formats:
     • SIC versus coverage by number of establishments, manu-
       facturing employees, source type, and emissions
     • Emissions by SIC for each major category
     • Listing of non-respondents for enforcement
     • Listing of telephone respondents for further verification
     • Listing of point sources by city, county, AQCR, SIC, size, etc.

The above summaries can then be used to estimate total hydrocarbon emis-
sions and to compare them  with estimated study area figures broken down
from national figures by some indicator.  Any additional emission esti-
mates would be coded into the area source form.  All other area sources
emitting hydrocarbons would also be reviewed.

Coding of NEDS Point Source Form

Point source information is coded on NEDS and made available to the many
federal and private agencies either in computer readable form or in

                                 64

-------
printout listings and summaries.  Coding instructions are found in the
"Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emission Inventory" - APTD 1135 ^
and will not be repeated here.

The information concerning hydrocarbon species is not adequately
being handled by NEDS to generate the summaries described in the "Manual
Approach," or needed for the proper evaluation of the regulations.  Four
major categories, dry cleaning (SCC: 401001), degreasing (SCC: 401002),
petroleum product storage (SCC: 403) and petroleum marketing-transportation
(SCC: 406) have an adequate number of SCC's to calculate the type and
quantity of hydrocarbon emitted.  Other categories, such as the sub-
categories in surface coating  (SCC: 402) (fabric coating, protective or
decorative coatings - paints, printing (SCC: 405), miscellaneous coatings
for glass, paper, leather, etc.). food/agricultural industries, chemical
manufacturing industries (SCC: 301), wood products (SCC: 307), petroleum
industry (SCC: 306), leather products (SCC: 320) and textile manufactur-
ing (SCC: 330) do not have adequate SCC's to describe the process and
type of material used.

Generation of Emission Tabular Summaries

Once the point source information is loaded into the NEDS data files,
the hydrocarbon emission tabular summaries described in the "Manual Ap-
roach" of Section V can be produced with a computer program.  This could
be performed by NEDB or outside by the agency performing the study.  As
indicated earlier, the SCC codes along with other information in the
files would be retrieved for classification.  It is expected that the
classification will assist in the evaluation of control strategies to
meet the oxidant air quality standard.

                              CHAPTER VI
              APPLICATION OF THE HYDROCARBON METHODOLOGY
                 TO THE REGIONAL AIR POLLUTION STUDY
The methodology for inventorying hydrocarbons is a detailed plan to
acquire a very extensive data bank.  The data will be in much greater
detail as to the character of emissions than has been achieved before
                    25
on a regional scale.    In the St. Louis Regional Air Pollution Study
(RAPS), the data is needed for the development and validation of mathe-
matical simulation models of air pollution processes.  The models are
formulations of all of the atmospheric processes such as convective
transport, diffusion, physical and chemical transformation, and re-
moval of pollutants.  Two models that deal with hydrocarbons are pre-
                                                               26
sented in "Urban Air Shed Photochemical Simulation Model Study"   and
                                                      27
in "User's Guide to Diffusion/Kinetics (DIFKIN) Code."    The number
of pollutants considered by the models are relatively few, but can be
increased as more information is known.  For example, more rate con-
stants and stoichiometric coefficients are being estimated for hydro-
carbon reactions.  Time is an important variable allowing consideration
for specific short time intervals.

Several emission inventories have been conducted in the St. Louis area.
The NEDS inventory is the last and most recent inventory.  The data
was originally transferred from the other inventories in the summer of
1973, and will be updated quarterly by the state agencies.  It is evi-
dent that NEDS is increasing the degree of sophistication and useful-
ness for planning purposes.  A recent analysis of the hydrocarbon
                                                                28
emissions inventory for the St. Louis AQCR is shown in Figure 9.

Point sources account for 78,295 tons/year of the total 294,908 tons/
year for the AQCR.  In addition, only approximately 100 point sources
account for 90 percent of the total point source emissions.  A total
of 470 point sources were coded.  Previous studies of hydrocarbon
emissions in other areas do not indicate an extensive cataloging of
the amount and type of hydrocarbon species.  Also, as the effort is
increased to obtain more accurate data and more point sources, there
is an increase in the percent of the emissions that can be attributed
to point sources and monitored for control.  Referring to Figure 9,
the curve would shift down and to the right, and the points on the
curve (e.g., > 100 tons/year) would also shift down.

In summary, the application of this methodology to the St. Louis RAPS
program would not only catalog the hydrocarbon emissions by amount and
type, but would increase the accuracy of the inventory, describe the
emissions by source category and give the emission rates over specific
short time periods.  To achieve these goals, there are three areas of
the methodology discussed in previous Chapters  that need more develop-
ment for the RAPS program than required by most regions.  These are:
          •  Inclusion of smaller point sources
          •  Delineation of hydrocarbon species
             for point and area sources
          •  Determination of hourly emission
             estimates.

The methodology allows for the inclusion of point sources to any degree
of refinement necessary by the RAPS program.  The smallest point source
that can be coded in NEDS is 1 ton/year.  There are several criteria
for selecting the emission size that distinguish between point and area
sources.  Since it takes more time to maintain information on point
sources than area sources, the availability of funds is a factor.  An-
other factor would be the percent of emissions required to be monitored
by the program.  Once again, the economics and the degree of accuracy
                               68

-------
are important.  It ordinarily follows that the higher the percent of
emissions monitored the more accurate the inventory becomes.  The preci-
sion of the inventory is important for the validation of the simulation
models.  Another factor to be considered for classifying a point source
is whether it can be controlled by the existing or proposed regulations.

Previous chapters have already mentioned that the development of new
Standard Classification Codes (SCC) for NEDS will be the partial solu-
tion for defining the process and the type of hydrocarbon species being
emitted.  The SCC file has been designed to include new codes as they
are being developed.  As they are developed, the general codes which
end in 99 can be shifted to these newly defined ones.  The photo-
chemical reactivity of these hydrocarbon species can then be considered
in the simulation models and the models can then estimate the formation
of photochemical oxidants based on the quantity of reactants, reaction
rates and amount of energy from sunlight.  It should be noted that the
methodology discussed in Chapter V already provides for point and area
source classification by pollutant, an example of which has been pre-
sented in Table 11.  Similar tables can be provided for all major
categories of hydrocarbon sources and utilized in RAPS programs.

The third area is the development of techniques by which the inventory
can be used to estimate emissions over specific short time periods.
These techniques should be used when processing or summarizing the
information in the data bank.  Estimating emissions down to the hourly
level,  or defining the daily and weekly emission cycle will support
the short time simulation modeling efforts.   This is very important
because the formation of photochemical oxidants occurs during sunlight
hours,  and is dependent upon the concentration of hydrocarbons during
this time.  The basis for the NEDS inventory is one year, however,  the
point source quarterly percent thruput and the number of normal
operating hours are recorded for further breakdown of emissions.  It
is apparent that some of the hydrocarbon emissions are dependent on
                               69

-------
the working hours at the establishment.  For example, a typical com-
mercial dry cleaner starts work around 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. and operates
for 8 to 10 hours.  On the surface, the program which estimates hourly
emission rates should have hydrocarbons emitted only for the operating
hours beginning on the seventh to eighth hour of the day.  On the other
hand, hydrocarbon emissions from a fixed roof tank occur throughout the
day and are dependent on several factors such as temperature, absorption
of sunlight, and displacement of the liquid level through transfer
operations.

In any event, it is apparent that the NEDS form and the methodology
discussed previously here (see page 1 of the questionnaire in Table A-l)
do not directly address the question of the daily period of operation
and/or emissions.  It can be inferred in most instances that sources
specifying an 8-hour operation do so over a normal 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
period.  However, to cite the previous examples, a dry cleaning opera-
tion may report an 8 to 10 hour operation yet perform much of its clean-
ing after the closing of its doors to commercial operation.  Similarly,
in the case of gasoline storage and distribution operations, much of
the emissions due to transfer activity may take place throughout the
evening.

Most other categories, however, will emit hydrocarbons which will be
proportional to the number of operating hours as reported.   Most larger
emitters will operate and emit on a continuous basis,  This will be true
for most surface coating operations, power generating plants, large-
scale degreasing, printing plants, etc.  However, other manufacturing
operations may be categorized as cyclic or batch type.  These could in-
clude many small manufacturing operations and certain process operations,
such as batch type coating formulation, plastic and adhesive manufacture,
Kraft pulp digestion, blowdown operations at refineries, etc.  Their
cycles may occur at regular intervals or possibly exhibit hourly, daily,
or long term variations due to product demands.
                                70

-------
Obviously, when cyclic operations are random or irregular in occur-
rence, the situation is complex.  The importance of such variations,
however, may not be serious in that they may be small compared to the
overall contributions of temporally definable sources.  Nevertheless,
the question should be addressed.  From the standpoint of the method-
ology, some modification of the questionnaire should be considered.
This would involve the supplementation of existing NEDS information
concerning season and normal operating schedules with hourly informa-
tion.  The respondent could be requested to estimate the fraction of
sources emitted hourly or at specified intervals of the day:  12 to
6 a.m.; 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.; etc.  This estimation could follow a nota-
tion as to whether emissions are continuous, cyclic, or irregular,
as below:
            Emission Cycle;
            Continuous 	  Batch
Irregular
                Approximate Percentage of Emissions
                      Occurring During the Day
12 a.m. -6 a.m.

6 a.m. -12 p.m.

12 p.m. -6 p.m.

6 p.m. -12 a.m.

This information should be included preferably throughout the ques-
tionnaire to satisfactorily cover plants engaged in multiple opera-
tions.  Although this methodology is cumbersome and may prove to be
an over-refinement of the methodology depicted in Chapter V, it
appears to be the only way of determining hourly emission variations.

The problem of diurnal variations of emissions from storage opera-
tions can be treated mathematically based on temperature vapor
                             71

-------
pressure considerations in much the same manner as seasonal variations.
To determine distribution losses due to transfer operations, however,
again some assessment of hourly activity must be made.  This informa-
tion could be requested on the questionnaire supplied to the principal
gasoline distributors.
