ABSTRACT
This document examines the impact of NSPS on hydrocarbon and carbon
monoxide emissions from the dimethyl terephthalate-terephthalic acid
(DMT-TPA) industry. The impact of NSPS is calculated using a model
developed by the Research Corporation of New England.
The best systems of emission control are determined and the effect of
using these systems on all significant emission points from each
DMT-TPA plant is calculated.
A listing of up-to-date emission information for each DMT-TPA plant
is presented in the appendices.

SECTION I
THE DMT-TPA INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
Dimethylterephthalate (DMT) and terephthalic acid (TPA) are, together with
ethylene glycol, the principal raw materials for the manufacture of
polyester fibers and films. Other uses consume less than 1 percent of
all DMT-TPA production. In 1973, 93 percent of the DMT-TPA produced
was used in polyester fibers and the bulk of the remainder in films.
DMT-TPA manufacture is an important process, ranking 21st among the 50
biggest volume producers of chemicals in the U.S. In 1975, 4.65 billion
pounds of DMT-TPA were manufactured. Almost all the DMT-TPA manufactured
o
is used domestically.
English units are used throughout this report. Table 1-1 is a list of

MANUFACTURING
All of the DMT and TPA manufactured in the U.S. is produced from p-xylene
feedstock. The p-xylene is air oxidized to form the acid or air oxidized
and esterified to form the ester. The reaction is a liquid phase
oxidation in which air, the oxidant, is blown through a solution of
p-xylene and catalysts to form TPA. The TPA is esterified, usually with
methanol, to form the ester, DMT. A simplified chemical reaction

DMT
p-xylene is a liquid at room temperature. TPA and DMT are white solids
at room temperature. The substitution of the -OH group on TPA by -OCH«
groups to form the DMT ester is referred to as esterification.
TPA is insoluble in water and most organic solvents at room temperature
whereas DMT is soluble in ether and hot methyl alcohol. TPA does not
melt but sublimes at 572°F. DMT melts at 286°F and boils at 550°F.
Because of these properties, TPA is usually purified by successive
crystallizations whereas DMT is purified by repeated distillations.
More thorough descriptions of each DMT-TPA manufacturing process are
given in Section II and in References 1 and 3.
In the past, nitric acid was used to oxidize p-xylene. However, with
the closing of DuPont's Old Hickory Works in Old Hickory, Tennessee in
1974, no manufacturer uses nitric acid to oxidize p-xylene. Therefore,
there are no NO emission sources in the manufacture of DMT-TPA.
X
-------
The polyester - polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - can be produced from
either DMT or TPA. The preferred route is the direct esterification of
TPA, as opposed to the transesterification of DMT. That is, the PET
monomer is produced by:
COOC1I
3
-t- HOCH2CH2OH
COOCH,
COOCH2CH2OH
COOCH2CH2OH
PET Monomer
Prior to 1963, polyethylene terephthalate was produced primarily from
DMT. Since then, however, an increasingly larger proportion has been
produced from purified terephalic acid (PTA). Future expansion of DMT-
3
TPA is expected to be predominantly in PTA production.
There are presently five companies in the U.S. producing DMT-TPA at six
plants. Table 1-2 lists these facilities, their location, their produc-
tion capacity and a brief production history.

-------
The consumption patterns of DMT and TPA, presented in Table 1-3, show
that almost all DMT-TPA produced is consumed in the production of poly-
ethylene terepthalate - about 93 percent for polyester fibers and about
7 percent for polyester films. Less than 1 percent is used for poly-
butylene terephthalate resins and miscellaneous uses. Polyester fibers
are used primarily in textiles (80 percent), especially apparel made of
polyester double knits (63 percent). They are also used in tire cord
and for other industrial uses.
INDUSTRIAL TRENDS
f
Growth of DMT-TPA manufacturing has been tied directly to the growth
of polyester since almost 100 percent of their production is consumed for
the production of polyester. The remarkable growth of DMT-TPA consump-
tion during the 1960s was due to the rapid penetration of most major
textile markets by polyester fibers. The attractiveness of easy-care,
durable press polyester apparel led to the general acceptance of polyester
as an apparel fiber, so that, by 1973 the polyester portion of the textile
fibers market was 30 to 35 percent, up from less than 5 percent in 1963.
Even when a general slowing of growth in the apparel staple market occurred
in the late sixties, polyester fibers continued to grow because of the
success of double-knit fabrics. Sustained but slower growth of polyester
fibers in woven blend fabrics and for tire cord, in addition to the
popularity of double knits, resulted in an overall annual average growth
rate of about 22 percent for polyester fibers, and for DMT-TPA consumption,
from 1967 to 1973.1
During 1974 and 1975, the growth of polyester slackened. Several DMT
and TPA plants were shut down in 1974 - some permanently, some for re-
placement of units or additional capacity. The shutdowns coincided
with raw material shortages, energy price increases, and a depressed
economy which had decelerated the growth of Polyester. ' ' Production

remained below capacity in 1975 and, in fact, was almost unchanged
worldwide from 1974 to 1975.
In 1976, however, both demand and production capacity increased. At the
beginning of the year, a substantial inventory of benzene assured that
the raw materials for DMT and TPA production would be adequate. The
demand for polyester fiber is again increasing, the only fiber to be
experiencing increased demand after the fiber market decline of 1974.
The increased production capacity, much of which was started in 1974, is
scheduled to come on line in 1976. This will result in an increase in
production capacity of 84 percent for DMT-TPA over 1975. TPA output
4
alone could jump 50 percent this year. Thus polyester, DMT, and TPA
will experience a substantial comeback in 1976. However, growth in pro-
8
duct ion is expected to show smaller gains in 1977 and 1978.
Studying the planned growth of the man-made fiber industry in the world
9
from 1976 to 1980 shows that Western Europe is expanding by 37 percent
with Italy scheduling a 65 percent increase; Korea is expanding by 19
percent; Taiwan by 32 percent and the U.S. by 20 percent. Only Japan
(zero percent) and France (10 percent) have modest expansion plans. The
U.S. and France have planned their fiber expansion for supplying home
markets. By 1980, fiber production in excess of domestic consumption
is predicted to be 35 percent in Western Europe, 23 percent in Japan,
33 percent in Korea, 56 percent in Taiwan but only 7 percent in the
U.S. Thus, competition will be fierce and it is unlikely that the U.S.
will be able to export substantial amounts of fibers, including pply-

DMT, TPA and polyester amounted to only about 7 percent of the DMT-TPA
produced in the U. S. in 1973 and will probably continue to be minimal
in the future due to surpluses on the international market.
GROWTH PROJECTIONS
Historically, the growth of DMT and TPA production has been quite rapid.
The combine annual growth rate over the period 1967 to 1973 was around
23 percent, with production increasing from 1,087 to 3,767 million pounds
(in DMT equivalents). For DMT production, the annual growth rate was
19.4 percent (937 to 2,714 million pounds), while for TPA, the annual
growth rate was higher - 36.5 percent. The magnitude of the growth was
lower, however, from 139 to 900 million pounds. From 1973 to 1974, con-
*6
sumption fell 1.5 percent, from 3,400 to 3,350 million pounds.
Projections of future growth of DMT and TPA vary considerably and are
strongly influenced by many variables. The projedtions are summarized
in Table I 4 with the time period for which they are applicable. Pro-
jections for annual growth rates range from 7.1 to 14.9 percent for DMT-
TPA production. The latest growth projection of an annual growth rate of
10 to 12 percent would appear to be the most valid. Producers are not
yet back to full capacity production. Conversations with plant managers
substantiated the projection of an annual growth rate of 10 to 12 percent
In 1973, combined production was approximately 3,767 million pounds,
whereas combined consumption was approximately 3,400 million pounds.
-------
growth over the next several years. It appears that a softness in the
polyester market and not p-xylene availability will be the limiting
factor in DMT-TPA growth.

SECTION II
SOURCES AND TYPE OF EMISSIONS
INTRODUCTION
Only processes involving the air oxidation of p-xylene are used in the
United States to produce DMT-TPA. In the past, nitric acid oxidation of
p-xylene was used, but this practice ended with the closing of DuPont's
Old Hickory Works Plant. Therefore, there are no emissions of nitrogen
oxides from the production of DMT-TPA.
PROCESSES USED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF DMT-TPA
Presently, there are three technologies used in the United States for
the production of DMT-TPA. These are: the Hercules-Witten Process for
the production of DMT; the Amoco Process for the production of TPA, and
the Eastman Process for the production of DMT. Table II-1 lists the
technology used by each manufacturer. '
The major gaseous emissions form the production of DMT-TPA are organic
and CO emissions from the p-xylene air oxidation step and the methanol
recovery step. Particulate emissions from the drying, crushing, and
packaging operations may also be large.
A brief discussion of each process and its associated major air emissions
is provided in the following text. More complete descriptions of each
process, including emissions from all emission points are given

in Appendix A and in Reference 1. Emissions will be considered to be
small if they are: (1) 10 pounds per hour or less for hydrocarbons;
(2) 20 pounds per hour or less for CO; and (3) 1 pound per hour or less
for particulate. These limits are arbitrary. The rationale for choosing
these limits is twofold. First, the best systems of emission control
are at least 95 percent efficient (see Section IV). Therefore, emissions
that are lees than 5 percent of the magnitude from the largest emission
source at each plant (e.g., from the p-xylene oxidizer) will be considered
small emission sources. The above limits account for emissions that are
less than 5 percent of the magnitude of the emissions from the largest
source at each plant. Second, at each DMT-TPA plant there are many stacks
with emission rates below the above limits, and, because of their number,
emission control devices on each stack would not be practical.
The information presented in the following text was obtained from one
or more of the following sources:
• Plant visits and discussions with operating personnel;
• Permit applications on file with the various state
air pollution control agencies;
• Updates of the questionnaires used by the Houdry
Division of Air Products, Inc., and completed by
most DMT-TPA manufacturers in 1972.
AMOCO CHEMICALS CORPORATION
Amoco has two DMT-TPA plants — one in Joliet, Illinois, and one in
Decatur, Alabama. Both plants produce purified terephthalic acid (PTA)
by first manufacturing a crude TPA intermediate. There is some pro-
duction of DMT, but after 1976 production will be limited to PTA. The
Amoco Process is used extensively for the production of fiber grade PTA.
14
-------
Technology
The production of TPA is essentially a one-step process represented by:
COOH
Air
terephthalic acid.
In the production of crude terephthalic acid, p-xylene is diluted with
glacial acetic acid, catalysts are added, and the mixture is air oxidized.
Purified terephthalic acid is crystallized from a slurry of TPA, water
and other reactants* DMT is prepared in a separate step by esterifying
the TPA with methanol.
Emissions From the Joliet Plant
Flow diagrams for the TPA and PTA process at Amoco"s Joliet Plant are
given in Figures II-l and II-2. A flow diagram of the DMT process is
given in Figure II-3. The Joliet Plant has a production capacity of
133 million pounds of crude TPA per year. The DMT operation should be
phased out by the end of this year.
The sources of greatest emissions from the TPA, PTA and DMT processes
are listed in Table 11-2. This information was obtained during a site
visit to the Joliet Plant. The emission information was taken from state
permit applications on file at the Joliet Plant and should represent the
most up-to-date information available.

In Figure II-l the absorber on the reactor is a tray type absorber tower.
the vent header absorber is an atmospheric pressure spray tower, All
other scrubbers shown in Figure II-2 and II-3 are atmospheric pressure
spray towers. Further descriptions of the emission control equipment
are given in Appendix A and Reference 1.
As can be seen from Table II-2, the major emissions form the Joliet DMT-
TPA plant are particulates and hydrocarbons with some CO from the p-xylene
oxidation step. The particulate is either TPA or DMT. The hydrocarbon
emissions from the TPA and PTA units are composed of acetic acid with
some methyl acetate. The source of greatest hydrocarbon emissions, the
dehydration tower, has a flow rate of 148 pounds per hour of acetic acid.
The major source of emissions for the DMT unit is the liquid drum, with
a flow of 500 pounds per hour of dimethyl ether and 20 pounds per hour
of methanol.
Emissions From the Decatur Plant
Information contained in this section was supplied by personnel at the
Decatur Plant. It is the most up-to-date information available. Com-
plete emission information for all emission points is given in Appendix A.
The Decatur Plant employs four parallel production lines to make TPA
and PTA, and two parallel production lines for the production of DMT
from TPA. The capacity of each production line is:
• //I oxidation unit - 280 million pounds TPA per year
• #2 oxidation unit - 280 million pounds TPA per year
• #3 oxidation unit - 530 million pounds TPA per year
• ,' //4 oxidation unit - 540 million pounds TPA per year
• #1 PTA unit - 180 million pounds PTA per year
• //2 PTA unit - 180 million pounds PTA per year

Flow diagrams for a typical oxidation unit, PTA unit, and DMT unit are
given in Figures II-4, II-5, and II-6, respectively. Emissions from
all major emission points for the Decatur Plant are listed in Table II-3.
The high pressure absorber in Figure II-4 is a valve tray scrubbing tower.
The low pressure absorber is a spray tower and the dust collector is a
bag filter. In Figure II-5, the crystallizer vent scrubber is a turbu-
lent contact absorber and the dryer vent scrubber is a spray tower.
The dust collectors are bag filters. These control devices are described
in Appendix A.
The oxidation units, Figure II-4, employ thermal oxidizers to destroy
liquid organic wastes. It should be noted that, as the size of the
unit increases, hydrocarbon emissions from the absorbers on the p-xylene
oxidation unit decrease. This may be the result of using more efficient
scrubbers. However, as the scrubbers do not affect CO emissions, CO
emissions increase slightly. A typical composition of a high pressure
absorber stream is (from #1 oxidation unit): 53 pounds per hour acetic
acid; 990 pounds per hour methyl acetate; and 750 pounds per hour carbon
monoxide. Compositions from other emission points are primarily acetic
acid and methyl acetate.
The PTA units produce only particulate emissions. The particulate
is TPA.
Dimethyl ether emissions represent the major fraction of emissions from
DMT units. The Decatur Plant now utilizes off gases containing dimethyl

either from the DMT unit as fuel in its hot oil furnaces. The result
of this practice is that there are no longer any large emission sources
in the DMT units. .
DuPONT
DuPont has an operational DMT plant, the Cape Fear Plant, located in
Phoenix, North Carolina. DuPont will also be opening a reconstructed
plant in Old Hickory, Tennessee, in late 1976.
Technology
DuPont leases TPA technology from Amoco and DMT technology from Tennessee
Eastman. DuPont was visited to obtain emission information from the Cape
Fear Plant, but, as they lease technology, they would give out no emis-
sion data without clearance from Amoco and Tennessee Eastman. This
clearance has been obtained and emission information will be sent (see
Appendix C, letter from D. F. Rapp dated June 18, 1976). When it is
received, it will be forwarded to the EPA Project Manager.
Emissions From the Cape Fear Plant
The State of North Carolina has supplied limited air emission information
for the Cape Fear Plant. Figure II-7 presents a simplified block flow
diagram of the process, and sources of greatest emissions are listed in
Table II-4. There should be little particulate emission from the Cape
Fear Plant as all TPA storage and transfer operations are controlled by
baghouses.

HERCULES INCORPORATED
Hercules has an operating DMT plant in Wilmington, North Carolina.
addition, Hercules will be building another DMT plant in Eastover,
South Carolina, but construction is not yet started.
In
Technology
Hercules uses the Hercules-Witten Process to produce DMT. Most of the
world production of DMT is based on this technology.
In the Hercules-Witten process, p-xylene is air oxidized to monomethyl
terephthalate with the formation of some methyl toluate. The methyl
toluate is recycled in the reaction. The monomethyl terephthalate is
esterified with methanol to form DMT. The chemistry of the reaction
is:1

Air Emissions From the Wilmington Plant
Hercules was polled by the Houdry Division of Air Products by question-
naire in 1972. Hercules no longer gives out emission information to
private contractors. However, it was determined during a visit to Her-
cules' main offices that the information on composition of emission
streams contained in the Houdry report is valid.
To determine emission rates from the Hercules plant, the information in
the 1972 Houdry questionnaire was scaled to reflect the increase in pro-
duction capacity. A flow diagram of the Wilmington Plant is given in
Figure II 8. Table II-5 lists the sources of greatest emissions. As
can be seen from Table II-5, the major emission source is the p-xylene
oxidation unit. Emission control equipment in use at the Wilmington
Plant is described in Reference 1.
HOECHST FIBERS INTERNATIONAL
Hoechst Fibers operates a DMT plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Hoechst Fibers was polled in 1972 by the Houdry Division of Air Products,
2
but their questionnaire response has remained confidential. Hoechst
Fibers would not release any emission information (see Appendix A).

TENNESSEE EASTMAN CORPORATION
Eastman has one operating DMT plant in Kingsport, Tennessee, and a plant
under construction in Columbia, South Carolina. The capacity of the
Columbia plant is not know, but is estimated at 522 million pounds per
year. Eastman produces only DMT.
Technology
Very little is known about the technology used in the Eastman process.
Basically, it is a two-step process involving the formation of a crude
TPA intermediate and esterifying this intermediate to form DMT.
To form the crude TPA, p-xylene, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid are air
oxidized under conditions of moderate temperature and pressure. The TPA
is then used as feedstock for the DMT unit. In the DMT unit, TPA is
esterified with methanol plus the addition of a small amount of xylene.
The process stream passes through several distillation columns to purify
the DMT. All of the TPA manufactured is used for DMT production.
Emissions From the Kingsport Plant
j • • '
Flow diagrams for the TPA and DMT units at Eastman1s Kingsport Plant are
given in Figures II-9 through 11-13. The Kingsport Plant has a produc-
tion capacity of 600 million pounds of DMT per year.
Emission information was obtained from Eastman personnel during a site
visit. The latest emission information was taken from state permit forms
dated June 1974. These permit forms are included in Appendix A.
Figure II-9 is a flow diagram for the TPA unit. This unit has a design
capacity of 66,500 pounds of TPA per operating hour. Table II-7 lists

all major emission sources. Emission information for all sources is
contained in the permit applications in Appendix A.
Emissions from the TPA unit are primarily CO and hydrocarbons. The
source of the greatest emissions is the reactor scrubber. A typical
hydrocarbon emission composition is (from emission point U): 270 Ib/hr
methyl acetate; 10.4 Ib/hr p-xylene; 0.73 Ib/hr acetic acid; 84.5 Ib/hr
(•-. • • ,
acetaldehyde; and 12 Ib/hr methane.
The Kingsport facility employs four plants to produce DMT from TPA. The
capacities of these plants are: Plant 237A-1, 150 million pounds per year;
Plant 261A-1, 240 million pounds per year; Plant 261-1, 105 million pounds
per year; and Plant 237-1, 105 million pounds per year. The combined
output capacity is 600 million pounds per year.
Flow diagrams for the four plants are given in Figures 11-10 through
11-13. All significant emission sources are given in Table II-7. Be-
tween the TPA and DMT units there is a tank farm. Emissions from the
tank farm are negligible compared to those from the processes. The
refining column, shown in Figure 11-10, is used to purify methanol used
in the reaction. The recycled methanol is then reused as feed to the
reactors. The refining column is fed from the holding tanks and the
purified methanol is stored in a tank farm. Compared with the emissions
from the TPA unit, emissions from the DMT unit are small. The greatest
source of emissions from each DMT Plant are methanol emissions from the
product tank scrubber (e.g., emission point J, Figure 11-10). However,
there is also a large hydrocarbon emission from the methanol refining
column (point K, Figure 11-10) that is composed of: acetaldehyde, 53 Ib/hr;
dimethyl ether, 416 Ib/hr; methyl acetate, 103 Ib/hr; and methanol,
29 Ib/hr.

Emissions From the Columbia Plant
The Columbia, South Carolina, DMT Plant will be going on-line in 1976.
The technology used in the Columbia Plant is similar to that used in the
Kingsport Plant. A flow diagram of the TPA unit is given in Figure 11-14
and of the DMT unit in Figure 11-15.
Emission information was obtained from the Eastman personnel in the form
of new facility permit applications to the State of South Carolina. Pro-
duction capacity is considered confidential; however, a rough estimate of
the production capacity can be determined. It is assumed that the TPA
reactor technology and the reactor scrubber are the same at both the
Kingsport and Columbia Plant. As CO will not be scrubbed, TPA output
from the Columbia Plant can be determined from the ratio of CO emissions
of the Kingsport to the Columbia Plant - yielding a DMT production rate
at the Columbia Plant of 522 million pounds per year.
Emissions from all major emission points at the Columbia Plant are given
in Table II-8. The major emission stream from the DMT unit is from the
methanol recovery unit. This stream is composed of: dimethyl ether,
583 Ib/hr; methyl acetate, 245 Ib/hr; methanol, 71 Ib/hr; acetaldehyde,
71 Ib/hr; and some spent catalyst. Eastman is designing a system to
burn this stream in an incinerator.
FACTORS AFFECTING EMISSIONS
Hercules and Tennessee Eastman report variations in emissions during
o
normal operation. As the largest emissions are from the reactor and
the methanol recovery scrubber, discussions of emission variations will
be confined to these two emission points.

Factors Affecting Emissions at Hercules' Wilmington Plant
Hercules reports that emissions from the reactor vary as a function of
reaction rate. As the reaction proceeds., oxygen emissions decrease and .
CO emissions increase. During start-up and shut-down, the carbon ad-"
sorbers are bypassed. However, as the plant is operating at'~96 percent
utilization, emissions from start-up and shut-down should be small.
Hercules reports that xylene emissions from the reactor average 0.08
percent of total stream flow, and can range from 0.01 to 0.5 percent.
The average composition was determined for full capacity and typical
adsorber performance.
Hercules reports that hydrocarbon emissions from the methanol concen-
trator average 0.4 percent of total stream flow, and can vary from
0.05 to 1.0 percent. Similarly, CO emissions average 1 percent but
can vary from 0.5 to 1.5 percent. However, they do note that the
composition is stable during normal operating conditions, indicating
43
-------
that using average compositions to determine yearly emission rates
should give accurate results.
Factors Affecting Emissions at Tennessee Eastman's Kingsport Plant
Eastman reports that variations in composition from the p-xylene oxidizers
are not significant. Hydrocarbon emissions from the refining column
varied by 20 percent of the total flow during normal operation.
It appears that variations in emissions may be significant in the Hercules-
Witten process, but not in the Eastman process. This could signal the
need for overdesigning emission control equipment to handle the variation
in composition. However, as DMT-TPA plants have a high rate of utiliza-
tion (e.g., Eastman operates full time, 50 weeks a year), emissions
estimates using average compositions should give an accurate representa-
tion of yearly emission rates.

SECTION III
APPLICABLE BEST SYSTEMS OF EMISSION REDUCTION
INTRODUCTION .
Only two pollutants, CO and hydrocarbons, are emitted from DMT-TPA
plants in quantities large enough to consider the use of further
emission control devices. Particulate emissions will not be of concern
for two reasons: (1) only Amoco"s Decatur Plant produces a particulate
loading that exceeds state standards and this particulate loading is
from the incinerator used to burn liquid wastes and not from the process
itself; (2) most manufacturers are now using, or plan to use, the best
systems of emission control (i.e., baghouses or electrostatic preci-
pitatqrs). Therefore, the magnitude of particulate emissions is small.
For example, Eastman's Kingsport Plant has a total particulate emission
rate of 2.5 pounds per hour (see Table II-7).
The only major emission point of both hydrocarbons and CO is from the
p-xylene oxidizer in the TPA unit. Large emissions of just hydrocarbons
come from only a limited number of emission points in each DMT-TPA plant.
Emission control via the use of different technologies is not a feasible
approach. As shown in Table V-2, the difference in emission factors
between each of the three DMT-TPA manufacturing technologies is small.
Also, as can be seen from Table V-2, the process with the lowest emission
factor for hydrocarbons (the Amoco Process), has the highest emission
factor for CO and vice versa. The reason for these differences are not
known. Therefore, definite conclusions cannot be reached. However,
45
-------
from the information that is available, it would appear that the use of
control devices on each emission point and not the use of one technology
in place of another would be the best approach to emission control.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS PRESENTLY IN USE
Emission Control of Carbon Monoxide
No emission control system presently in use in DMT-TPA plants is designed
to reduce CO emissions.
Emission Control of Hydrocarbons
Only carbon adsorbers and scrubbers are used in DMT-TPA plants to limit
hydrocarbon emissions. In the following, the efficiency and type of
emission control equipment used by each facility will be identified.
These devices are described further in Appendix A and in Reference 1.
Hercules' Wilmington Plant uses an activated carbon adsorber to control
hydrocarbon emissions from its p-xylene reactor (see Figure II-8, emis- .
sion point B). The carbon adsorber is 91 percent efficient iri removing
p-xylene from the reactor off gas stream. In addition, a wet (water)
scrubber is used after the methanol recovery device (see Figure II-8).
The methanol recovery device is a condenser and the scrubber is a spray
tower design. This device is 99 percent efficient in removing methanol.
Amoco uses wet tower scrubbers to remove 97 percent of the acetic acid
from off gases from the p-xylene oxidizer. The Decatur Plant burns
organic emissions (mostly dimethyl ether) from the DMT process in its
powerhouse. This system of emission control is believed to be "400
percent efficient.
46
-------
Eastman uses a series of wet (water) tray type absorbers to treat off
gases from its p-xylene oxidizer (see Figure II-9, emission points A
to F). These devices remove almost all of the acetic acid, but no other
organics from the off gas stream. Acetic acid accounts for ~80 weight
percent of the organic in the gas stream.
Eastman does not treat off gases from its refining tower (see Figure
11-10, emission point K). This stream consists mostly of dimethyl ether
so liquid scrubbing is not a viable control technique. Eastman plans
to burn this stream in an incinerator.
THE BEST SYSTEM OF EMISSION CONTROL
Thermal incinerators, flaring, and carbon adsorbers can all be used to
2 3
limit hydrocarbon emissions with greater than 90 percen efficiency. '
They will also limit CO emissions, but to a lesser degree.
Thermal incinerators are used, by the formaldehyde manufacturing industry
with stream flows and composition similar to those encountered from the
• 4
p-xylene oxidation step. jn the formaldehyde industry, thermal incine-
rators achieve almost 100 percent efficiency in removing hydrocarbons.
Ninety percent efficiency can be expected from flaring, with efficiencies
as high as 99 percent being reported for flares used at refineries.
Carbon adsprbers, used by Hercules on their p-xylene oxidation units are
95 percent efficient in removing hydrocarbons.
For CO, CO boilers are the best system of emission control with CO re-
moval efficiencies of greater than 99.99 percent. CO boilers will also
reduce hydrocarbon emissions bypractically 100 percent. There are
no combustion devices presently in use by the DMT-TPA industry, there-
fore, it is difficult to predict equipment performance. Although capital
and operating costs are high for CO boilers, they can double as steam
47
-------
generating units which makes their use more economical. However, it
has been shown that byproduct steam credits cannot usually offset
operating costs.
Manufacturers of CO boilers gurantee a minimum of 95 percent efficiency
for hydrocarbon and CO removal with much higher efficiencies possible
(see Appendix A). A CO boiler is equivalent to carbon adsorption
flaring or thermal incineration for the removal of hydrocarbons and
superior to these types of control devices for the removal of CO.
Therefore, a CO boiler will be considered the best system of emission
control and, to be on the conservative side, 95 percent efficiency for
hydrocarbon and CO removal will be assumed.
There are two classes of streams that the CO boiler will have to control:
1. A high volume (up to 100,000 scfm) low concentration stream
of CO and hydrocarbons from the p-xylene oxidizer; and
2. Low volume, high concentration streams from other sections
of the plant.
The CO boiler should be used with a heat recovery system to make its use
more economical. As some of the low volume, high concentration streams
may be above the lower explosive limit, special precautions, such as
premixing with the high volume, low concentration streams may be required.
Tables III-l to III-7 list the achievable emissions utilizing a CO
boiler that is 95 percent efficient in removing CO and hydrocarbons.
Factors Affecting Emission Control Capability
The CO boiler should be constructed of such a size that it can handle the
effects of plant expansions. Plant expansion will increase the flow
rate from the p-xylene oxidizer and from the hydrocarbon recovery units.
48
-------
As CO boilers are combustion devices, operating at too low temperatures
or too high flow rates will have the greatest effect on emission control
capability.

SECTION IV
SUMMARY OF STATE AND LOCAL AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL REGULATIONS
INTRODUCTION
All state and local laws applicable to DMT-TPA plants are listed in the
following. As DMT-TPA plants do not emit SO or NO , there will be no
X X
reference to regulations for SO and NO . Pertinent sections of state
xx
and local air pollution control regulations are given in Appendix C.
There are very few state and local laws regulating emissions from DMT-TPA
plants. Most states do not regulate hydrocarbon or CO emissions, but all
states regulate particulate emissions. Only Illinois regulates emissions
of both CO and hydrocarbons.
REGULATIONS FOR ILLINOIS (AMOCO, JOLIET PLANT)
State regulations apply for the Joliet area. Illinois has classified TPA
manufacture as a petrochemical process. Amoco and others are currently
contesting this classification.
Hydrocarbon Emissions
Different regulations apply to the emission of hydrocarbons depending on
whether or not the TPA manufacturing process is classified as a petrochem-
ical process.. If-the TPA process is not considered a petrochemical process
55
-------
regulations require that emissions of more than 8 pounds per hour of
hydrocarbons be treated by pollution control equipment (catalytic incin-
erators, vapor recovery systems, etc.) that is capable of reducing organic
emissions by 85 percent or more.
*'
If TPA manufacturing is considered a petrochemical process, regulations
require that no organic materials be discharged to the atmosphere in
concentrations greater than 100 ppm equivalent methane.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions
The DMT-TPA industry has been classified as a petrochemical industry.
As such, CO bearing waste streams must be burned in a direct flame after-
burner or carbon monoxide boiler so that the resultant concentration of
carbon monoxide is less than or equal to 200 ppm corrected to 50 percent
excess air.
Particulate Emissions
The state of Illinois uses process weight tables to determine allowable
particulate emission limits. Table IV-1 compares the allowed and actual
particulate emissions from each significant emission point at the Joliet
Plant. As can be seen from Table IV-1, the Joliet Plant is in compliance
with the standards for the TPA and PTA unit. Process weights for the
DMT unit are not known, but, as the DMT unit is being shut down, compli-
ance is not essential.
REGULATIONS FOR TENNESSEE (EASTMAN, KINGSPORT PLANT;
DUPONT, OLD HICKORY PLANT)
The DuPont Plant in Old Hickory is regulated by the Metropolitan Health
Department of Nashville and Davidson Counties and should be coming on-line

this year. The Kingsport Plant is regulated by the Tennessee Division
of Air Pollution Control. There are no regulations for CO emissions
from DMT-TPA plants in Tennessee.
Hydrocarbon Emissions
Regulations for hydrocarbon emissions require that new sources install and
utilize the best equipment and technology for controlling organic gaseous
emissions.
Particulate Emissions
Tennessee regulates particulate emissions through the use of a general
process weight table. The magnitude of particulate emission is not known
for DuPont's Old Hickory Plant. Particulate emissions from Eastman's
Kingsport Plant are regulated by bagfilters and are well within the state
standards.
REGULATIONS FOR ALABAMA (AMOCO, DECATUR PLANT)
TPA manufacture is not considered a petroleum process in Alabama.
Hydrocarbon Emissions
Alabama regulates emissions from the storage and transfer of hydrocarbons.
However, there are no regulations limiting hydrocarbon emissions from the
TPA process used at the Decatur Plant.
Carbon Monoxide Emissions
The state of Alabama does not regulate the emission of CO from the DMT-TPA
process. For petroleum processes, the state requires that CO bearing
waste streams be burned.
58
-------
Particulate Emissions
Alabama's particulate emission regulations are based on a general process
weight table. All significant sources of particulate emissions from the
TPA process itself meet state standards. However, particulate emissions
from the incinerators that are used to burn liquid wastes from the oxi-
dation units are not in compliance with state standards (see Appendix A,
letter from Paul Saywell, dated April 21, 1976). Particulate emissions
from the incinerators are controlled by electrostatic precipitators.
It is not known by what means Amoco will meet the state regulations on
particulate emissions.
REGULATIONS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA (HOECHST FIBER'S
SPARTANBURG PLANT)
South Carolina does not regulate hydrocarbon or CO emissions. It does,
however, regulate particulate emissions through the use of process weight
tables. As neither particulate loadings or process weights are known for
the Spartanburg Plant, it is impossible to judge compliance.
REGULATIONS FOR NORTH CAROLINA (HERCULES, WILMINGTON
PLANT; DUPQNT, CAPE FEAR PLANT)
The state of North Carolina does not regulate the emission of carbon
monoxide.
Hydrocarbon Emissions
North Carolina regulates emissions from the storage of hydrocarbons by
requiring vapor emission control systems.
North Carolina regulates emissions of photochemically reactive material
by requiring that most organic emissions be reduced by at least 85 percent
by. an appropriate control device. Hercules and DuPont employ control
59
-------
devices that are greater than 90 percent efficient. This regulation
applies only to emission points producing organic emissions of more than
40 pounds per day.
Particulate Emissions
North Carolina regulates particulate emissions by a general process
weight chart. Particulate emissions and process weights from the DuPont,
Cape Fear Plant are not known. However, as the process weight chart for
Illinois and North Carolina are similar and as DuPont leases its TPA
technology from Amoco, and Amoco's Joliet Plant is within the particulate
emission limits, it can be assumed that DuPont is within the particulate
emission limits.
Hercules reports no particulate emissions nor are particulate loadings
from the Wilmington Plant mentioned in any material received from the
state. Therefore, it can only be assumed that both plants are in compli-
ance with state standards.
THE EFFECT OF STATE REGULATIONS ON DMT-TPA PLANTS
/
As the preceding has shown, only the Amoco, Joliet Plant and Decatur Plant
are in violation of any state standards.
The Joliet Plant will be in violation of state hydrocarbon and CO emission
standards if the state maintains that TPA manufacture is a petrochemical
process. However, these standards will be met if the best system of emis-
sion control (a CO boiler) is utilized.
The Decatur Plant could probably meet Alabama particulate emission stan-
dards if baghouses were added after the electrostatic precipitators on
the incinerators. However, as the incinerators are not an integral part .
of the TPA process and as the total impact on using baghouses on this one
60
-------
plant would be small in comparison to industry wide particulate emissions,
this report will not consider the effects of using the best system of
emissions control on the incinerators at the Decatur Plant.
Tables IV-2 through IV-4 list the expected emission reduction for each
plant when the best system of emission control is implemented. As only
three different technologies will be used on future plants, expected emis-
sion reductions are only calculated for: the Eastman, Kingsport Plant;
the Amoco, Decatur Plant; and the Hercules, Wilmington Plant.

SECTION V
ESTIMATED EMISSION REDUCTION
INTRODUCTION
In the following the impact of NSPS for hydrocarbons and CO will be
calculated for the DMT-TPA industry. Model IV, developed by the Re-
search Corporation of New England will be used.
Model IV
Model IV is treated extensively in Reference 1 and will not be discussed
here. Table V-l contains a listing and definition of the parameters
required for Model IV. Briefly, the following equations will be used:
TS = Eg K (A - B) + Eg K (B + C) (1)
TN = Eg K (A - B) + EN K (B + C) (2)
TNd = Ellld K (A - B) + EN K (B + C) (3)
TS - TNd = K (B + C) (Eg - E) (4)
Values, of Model IV Parameters for the DMT-TPA Industry
The following presents discussions of values given each Model IV parameter.
63

K = normal fractional utilization rate of existing capacity,
assumed constant during time interval.
A = baseline year production capacity (production units/yr).
B = production capacity from construction and modification to re-
place obsolete facilities (production units/yr).
C = production capacity from construction and modification to in-
crease output above baseline year capacity (production units/
yr).
P = construction and modification rate to replace obsolete capa-
city (decimal fraction of baseline capacity/yr).
P = construction and modification rate to increase industry capa-
city (decimal fraction of baseline capacity/yr).

have been promulgated in the jth year (tons/yr).
T = total emissions in ifch year assuming no control (tons/yr).
T. = total emissions in baseline year under baseline year

-------
Normal Fractional Utilization (K) - The normal fractional utilization
can be calculated by dividing the production of DMT for 1975 by the pro-
duction capacity of the industry. Acid production is multiplied by
1.17 to convert to equivalent DMT production. The 1975 production was
4,650 million pounds of DMT. The 1975 production capacity was estimated
by averaging the known July 1974 and May 1976 production capacity. This
yields a 1975 production capacity of 4,655 million pounds per year and a
normal fractional utilization of 1.0. This high value of the normal
fractional utilization is entirely in keeping with the fact that DMT-TPA
manufacture is still a growing industry with growth attempting to match
d emand.
Production Capacity (A) - This value, calculated above, is 4,655 million
pounds per year.
jncrease in Industrial Capacity Over 1975 Capacity (Pc.) - The annual
growth rate between the years 1975 and 1985, was given in Section I as
11 percent. .
Replacement Rate of Obsolete Capacity (Ps) - It will be assumed that
the obsolescence rate for the DMT-TPA industry may be approximated from
3
IRS depreciation guidelines. This Reference suggests an asset guide-
line life of 11 years. As a conservative estimate, the actual life will
be taken as twice this period or 22 years, yielding a simple obsolescence
replacement rate of P = 0.045.
B
In Reference 1 a .simple absolescence rate of 0.45 was calculated based
on the replacement of obsolete or economically marginal plants in 1972.
It: can be assumed that during the recession of 1974 to 1975, most of
these facilities were prematurely closed (see Table 1-1). Therefore,
the absolescence rate may be expected to be even smaller than 0.045.
65
-------
Amoco has recently begun using titanium liners in their reactors (see
Trip Report, Appendix A), which have an expected lifetime of greater
than 1.0 years. Prior to the use of these liners the lifetime of the
p-xylene reactor, the main equipment component of TPA manufacture, was
a major problem. The reaction conditions used in the Amoco process
(400 psi, 400°F) are the most severe of any DMT-TPA Process. Although
no estimates a,re Available on the equipment lifetimes for the Hercules-
Imhaussen and Eastman Processes, they can be expected to be longer than
the equipment lifetime in the Amoco Process as reaction conditions are
less severe. Therefore, the original obsolescence rate of 0.045 will
be used to represent a conservative estimate of the obsolescence rate.
Uncontrolled Emission Factor (EU) - As mentioned in Section II, there
are only three technologies used for producing DMT-TPA: (1) the Amoco
process (TPA); (2) the Eastman process (DMT); and (3) the Hercules
Imhaussen/Witten process (DMT). As all other producers lease one or more
of these technologies, it should be sufficient to simply calculate emis-
sion factors for a plant using each technology. In addition, as the
major emission source is the p-xylene oxidation unit, emissions from
producing DMT should be comparable with emissions from producing TPA.
Therefore, the same emission factors will be used for both DMT and TPA
production and all DMT-TPA production will be expressed in DMT
equivalents.
For each technology the emissions from the p-xylene oxidizer are treated
by scrubbing or carbon adsorption to recover hydrocarbons. As this
operation can be considered an integral part of the process, uncontrolled
emissions will be represented by waste streams leaving the recovery device,
The same will hold true for the scrubber on the methanol recovery device
at Hercules' Wilmington Plant (see Figure II-8). All other emission
streams are uncontrolled.
66
-------
Table V-2 gives the uncontrolled emission factors for Amoco's Decatur
Plant, Hercules' Wilmington Plant, and Eastman's Kingsport Plant. These
values were taken from Tables II-2, II-5 and II-6. To simplify calcula-
tions, production capacities will be presented in DMT equivalents (1 pound
of TPA is equivalent to 1.17 pound of DMT).
the emission factor for hydrocarbons from Hercules' Wilmington Plant is
low because Hercules uses a highly efficient carbon adsorber to trap
p-xylene emissions. Emissions from Amoco's Decatur Plant are high
because Amoco has two old production lines with inefficient scrubbers.
Approximately 50 percent of the production capacity for DMT-TPA is based
on the Amoco process; 29 percent on the Hercules process; and 20 percent
on the Eastman process. As no one process accounts for the majority of
the manufacture of DMT-TPA, average uncontrolled emission factors will
be used to calculate emissions from all DMT-TPA plants. Average emission
factors are given in Table V-2.
Controlled Emission Factor (E ) - As discussed in Section III, the best
system of emission control for both CO and hydrocarbons is a CO boiler.
A CO boiler is 95 percent efficient in removing CO and hydrocarbons.

Controlled Emission Factor for Designated Pollutants (E^-d) - As CO is
a "Criteria", pollutant it is not regulated under Section llld of the
Clean Air Act. Therefore, E^. or (Tg-Tnd) is not calculated for CO
emissions.
Similarly, hydrocarbons are also criteria pollutants and not regulated
under Section llld of the Clean Air Act. The organic emissions from the
DMT-TPA manufacturing process are mostly acetic acid, methyl acetate or
dimethyl ether. These pollutants are not hydrocarbons in the strict sense
of the word (i.e., composed solely of carbon and hydrogen), however,
they are often classed with hydrocarbon emissions. If they are not
classed as hydrocarbons then they will be controlled as designated
pollutants under Section llld of the Clean Air Act. Therefore, both
(Ts-Tn) and (Ts-Tn(j) will be calculated for hydrocarbon emissions.
Estimated Allowable Emissions Under 1975 Regulations (Eg) - Only Illinois
has a state standard for CO and hydrocarbons. Therefore, based on the
fact that (1) less than 5 percent of the DMT-TPA produced is manufactured
in Illinois, (2) the Illinois standard is under litigation, and (3) there
are no known plans for constructing more DMT-TPA plants in Illinois, the
allowable emission factor (E ) will be set equal to the uncontrolled
O
emission factor
cy.
Production Capacity to Replace Obsolete Faciliteis (B) - As P represents
i • - ]j
a simple obsolescence rate, B is calculated by:
B = 10*A* P_
B
and is 1.05 x 10. tons of DMT per year.
69
-------
Production Capacity^to Increase Output (C) - As P^ represents a compound
growth rate, C is calculated by:
C = A
and is 4.29 x 10 tons of DMT per year.
RESULTS OF MODEL IV
Table V-3 contains the values of all parameters and the results of all
calculations for Model IV. The impact of NSPS presented in Table V-3
accounts for the states requiring existing facilities to limit their
hydrocarbon emissions in accordance with the NSPS (i.e., T - T ). As
S Nd
such, this represents the maximum emission impact of NSPS. The impact
of NSPS for CO and HC applied only to new or modified facilities is also
presented in Table V-3 (i.e., T0 - T ).
S N
The emission reduction for CO presented in Table V-3 may seem substantial
(120,260 tons/year), but is small compared to the manufacture of other

organic chemicals. For example:

The emission reduction expected for hydrocarbons is, on the other hand,
larger than the emission reduction expected from other industries. For

If the HC emissions are regulated as designated pollutants under Section
llld of the Clean Air Act, the impact of NSPS will be even larger - 72,620
tons per year (i.e., Tg - TN(J) .
The reason for the large impact on hydrocarbon emissions is that the
industry has a high growth rate, 11 percent per year. If this growth
rate cannot be sustained over a period of 10 years, then the impact should
be less significant.

SECTION VI
MODIFICATION AND RECONSTRUCTION
INTRODUCTION
There are three approaches taken to increase production capacities in the
DMT-TPA industry: debottlenecking; parallel production lines; and the
addition of new plants.
Debottlenecking is used to identify the production limiting piece of
equipment and either modify it for larger throughput or replace it with
a larger capacity unit. Every manufacturer uses debottlenecking
procedures.
If an increase in production capacity is significant, the manufacturer
can add parallel production lines or build a new plant. In discussions
with plant managers it was determined that there is no fixed economical
plant size. Rather, new plants are built as needed and sized to fit
projected demands for the product.
EFFECTS ON EMISSIONS OF MODIFICATIONS AND RECONSTRUCTION
The only facility for which there is sufficient information to predict
the effect of modifications and reconstruction on emissions is Amoco's
Decatur Plant. The Decatur Plant employs four parallel production lines
to oxidize p-xylene to TPA. The last two oxidation units have approxi-
mately twice the production capacity of the first two units (see Section II)
74
-------
The most significant emission point for" hydrocarbons and CO is the
p-xylene oxidation reac.tor in which p-xylene is air oxidized to TPA
and by-products such as methyl acetate. The inputs to each reactor
are p-xylene, acetic acid, a catalyst mix, air, oxygen and a caustic
solution. Each reactor is equipped with a high and low pressure
absorber to recover p-xylene and acetic acid. These absorbers are wet
(water) scrubbing devices. The only other significant emission point is
the solvent dehydration tower vent. There is no emission control device
on this vent. Production rates and emission rates for each oxidation
unit are given in Table VI-1.
As can be seen from Table VI-1, as the production rates for the oxida-
tion units increase, the flow rates through the units increase roughly
linearly.
•M
Hydrocarbon emissions from the dehydration tower vent increase in propor-
tion to production rate. Hydrocarbon emissions from the high and low
pressure absorbers, on the other hand, stay essentially constant with
increases in production.rate. This could be the result of increased
efficiency of the control devices on the larger units, but the efficiencies-
are not known.
The emission of CO from the p-xylene oxidation unit is roughly constant
with increases in production rate. As the high pressure absorber does
not affect CO emissions, this can not be the result of using a more
efficient control device. The reason for CO emissions remaining constant
with increases in production rate is not known. However, it can be con-
cluded that the emission of CO from the p-xylene oxidation unit depends
mainly on the reactor design and is only a weak function of the throughput
of the reactor. Similar information for the Hercules or Eastman pro-
cesses is not available.

-------
It is expected that hydrocarbon emissions should increase in proportion
to the production rate of TPA.
From the preceding, CO emissions would appear to increase in proportion
to the number of new units coming on line and do not appear to be
linearly related to the increase in production rate of the DMT-TPA in-
dustry. Unfortunately, there is not enough information on the DMT-TPA
manufactuing processes to make these predictions with certainty.
However, as the emission impact of NSPS on CO emissions presented in.
Table V-3 is based on a linear increase in emissions with production
rate, the calculated impact should be viewed as being too large.

APPENDIX A
SUMMARY OF EMISSION DATA
INTRODUCTION
The following sections present emission information obtained for each
plant during the course of this project. Supplementary information is
still to be received from DuPont's Wilmington Plant, but data available
from the State of North Carolina was sufficient for the completion of
this project.
Data was obtained in one or more of three ways: by site visit; by up-
dntes of the Houdry questionnaire; or from permit applications to state
air pollution control, agencies.
In the following, emission data is presented in its original form.
Tables II-l through II-7 were constructed from this data. Correspon-
dence and telephone conversations required to obtain this information
are summarized in Appendix C. Information on control devices is also
included in Appendix A.
Where updates of the original Houdry questionnaires were used to obtain
emission information, only the changes in the questionnaire are pre-
sented. As they may be helpful, flow diagrams of each process are
included.

Subject Meeting with Amoco personnel to gather emission information
on the Joliet, Illinois and Decatur, Alabama DMT-TPA plants
Attending:
Harry M. Brennan, Coordinator - Air and Water Conservation,
Manufacturing Division, Amoco Chemicals
E.V. Smith, Technical Director, Joliet Plant, Amoco
W.W. Twaddle, Plant Manager, Joliet Plant, Amoco
Robert E. Flesch, Process Engineer, Joliet Plant, Amoco
During the conversation, the following points were made:
• The Joliet facility has only one production line. The Decatur
facility has four production lines.
• A new plant is being constructed on the Cooper River in South
Carolina.
• Production capacity at Joliet is 133 x 10 pounds of crude
terephthalic acid a year. The normal running time for the
TPA unit is 88 percent of the year; 88 percent for the PTA
unit; and 90 percent for the DMT unit.
• The following emission information is the most up-to-date

• Both of Amoco's plants are phasing out DMT production. Pro-
duction capacity is increased to match sales growth as the need
arises. The historical trend has been to go to larger plants
(e.g., Joliet is smaller than the Decatur Plant which is smaller
than the Cooper River Plant). Emissions vary from plant to
plant and from unit to unit within a plant (see Decatur
information).
• The reactors are explosively lined with titanium and have a
long (greater than 10 years) operating life.
• The metals content of PTA is very important. Amoco's PTA
has less than 15 ppm trace metals and is considered extremely
high quality.
• It was noted that smaller plants tend to have higher emissions.
There appears to be no economical plant size.
• Production is down approximately 50 percent this year, but is
expected to rise quite rapidly. A 7 to 9 percent growth rate
is expected over the next several years.
• Crude TPA is stored and transferred to the DMT/PTA units by
pushing with CO .

Emission Information From State Agencies
Emission Information wns received from the State of Alabama. This in-
formation, presented in the following, was taken from permit applica-
tions filed by the Decatur Plant in 1974. The State of Illinois does
not give out information contained in permit applications.
It should be noted that the information received from the State of
Alabama is at odds with the information received from the Decatur Plant.
For example, the CO emissions from oxidation units #1 and #2 are much
lower in the state permit forms than the CO emissions data received
from the Decatur Plant. In fact, the CO emission data from the state
would predict a linear increase in CO emissions with production rate,
while the emissions data from the Decatur Plant implies that CO emissions
are independent of production rates (see Section VI). The reason for
this discrepancy is not known. The newer permit data sent by the Decatur
personnel will be used in this report.

Emission Information for DuPont's Cape Fear Plant
The main offices of DuPont were visited to obtain emission information
for the Cape Fear Plant in Wilmington, North Carolina. DuPont leases
its DMT-TPA manufacturing technology from both Amoco and Tennessee
Eastman. They have decided that they cannot give out any information
concerning the Cape Fear Plant without express authorization from Amoco
and Tennessee Eastman. Letters asking for this authorization are in-
cluded in Appendix C. The following is a trip report for the visit to
DuPont's main offices in Wilmington, Delaware.

The following points were made during the discussion with DuPont personnel;
• DuPont leases its DMT technology from Tennessee Eastman Co.
and its TPA technology from Amoco. As such, they are not at
liberty to divulge any information without the express
authorization of Eastman and DuPont. The people I should
contact are:
Dr. Robert Rosscup
Patenting and Licensing Representative
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
Chicago, Illinois
(Telephone 312-856-5944)
and
Mr. Robert L. Long
Licensing Manager
Tennessee Eastman Company
Kingsport, Tennessee
(Telephone 615-246-2111, Ext. 3575)
• The DuPont process is exactly the same as Amoco's and Eastman's,
therefore, extrapolation of their emissions to DuPont should
give accurate results.
• John Cooper said that the information that the State of North
Carolina had was for the whole site, at which Dacron is also
manufactured.
» It was finally decided that GCA should contact Dr. Rosscup
and Mr. Long to try to free the emissions information. In
any event, a letter should be sent to John Cooper outlining
precisely what information will be needed.

Emission Information From State Agencies
The Following information was obtained from the North Carolina Depart-
ment of Natural and Economic Resources. This information was used in
Section II to quantify the emissions from DuPont's Cape Fear Plant.
As can be seen from the following, the absorber is 98 percent efficient
in removing acetic acid from the p-xylene oxidizer off gases.

Dear Mr. Spann:
Enclosed, you will find the block diagrams for E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co.
Cape Fear Plant.
The E. I. DuPont process differs from the Hercules process in that the Her-
cules process produces directly dimethyl terephthalate in a single stage process
whereas DuPont produces terephthalic acid and esterifies with methanol to dimethyl
terephthalate. The Hercules reaction reads as follows:
COOH
Oj + air
^3
heat
+ H20 + MeOH
0] + air
heat.
0] + H20 + air + MeOA
0] + H20 + air + MeOA
whereas, DuPont's reaction reads as follows:
0] + air
COOH
.0s) + H20 + air
C60H
TPA
Catalysis are used in both processes.

HERCULES INCORPORATED
Emission Information From Hercules' Wilmington, North Carolina Plant
The main offices of Hercules were visited to obtain emission informa-
tion for the Wilmington Plant. The following is a trip report of the
visit to Wilmington.
Trip Report
By D.F. Durocher
Subject Trip to Wilmington, Delaware to visit Hercules
Attending
Dr. Richard A Chaddock
Environmental Coordinator
Hercules, Incorporated
Wilmington, Delaware
During the discussion the following points were made:
\
• Hercules has taken the position that they will no longer give
out any information — especially to contractors.
• Dr. Chaddock noted that the information contained in the
original Houdry questionnaire was quite good and extensive.
He said that an accurate representation of the emissions
could be obtained by scaling the emission data up to present
capacity.
• Dr. Chaddock would not reveal the production capacity of the
Wilmington Plant, but he thought that 1,300 million pounds
per year was too high.
• Dr. Chaddock stated that the Eastover, South Carolina Plant
is planned, but is not yet under construction. He did not
know when it would be on line.
Emission information listed in Table II-3 was taken directly from the
Houdry questionnaire. This data was scaled by the change in produc-
tion capacities (i.e., 450 million pounds in 1972 versus 1,300 million
pounds in 1976).

Emission Information From State Agencies
The following information was received from the State of North Carolina.
It was useful in determining the efficiency of the carbon adsorbers for
limiting hydrocarbon emissions from the p-xylene oxidation unit.

TENNESSEE EASTMAN
Emission Information For Tennessee Eastman's Kingsport Plant
Eastman's Kingsport Plant was visited to obtain emission information.
This information was presented as copies of permit applications the
Kingsport Plant had filed with the state. The following is a trip re-
port for the visit to the Kingsport Plant.

B. Robertson, TPA Departmental Superintendent
In lieu of an update of the Houdry questionnaire, copies of state permit
applications for each of the DMT/TPA units for both the Kingsport Plant
and the Columbia, South Carolina Plant were given to GCA. During the
course of the conversation, the following points were made:
• The production capacity of the Columbia Plant is confidential.
However, the permit information does give emissions.
• The technologies used at the Columbia and Kingsport Plants
are similar.
• Eastman expands by debottlenecking, parallel production lines,
or building new plants (e.g., the Columbia Plant). The method
used depends on the size increase required. No one knew of
an "economical" plant size.
A-64
-------
• A growth projection of 10 to 12 percent may be reasonable.
• The information contained in the state permit applications
is as accurate as any information that is available.
• They do not know of any variables that affect emissions in
any significant way.
• Emission control equipment efficienies are given in the per-
mit applications.
In the following, the permit information from the Kingsport Plant is re-
produced. TPA is produced in a single plant which is identified in the
permit applications as "Process Emission Source Number B232-1." The
crude TPA is then processed into DMT in four plants labeled, B-237-1,
B-237A-1, B-261-1, and B-261A-1.

REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE WITH CONTROL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS
The following summarizes all telephone conversations, letters and re-
sponses from air pollution control device manufacturers. The informa-
tion is presented in chronological order for simplicity. This informa-
tion is supplemented by the references used in Section III. Where the
"Person Contacted" line is left blank, it is because the source wished
to remain anonymous. A key to stream identification numbers mentioned
in these conversations are contained in the letter to Mr. Brewer of Air
Correction Division, UOP.
By and large the response from control device manufacturers was poor.
Much information that was promised was not sent. However, from litera-
ture information and conversations with plant personnel, the best system
of hydrocarbon and CO emission control appears to be a CO boiler.
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Romuald Michalek DATE 3/29/76
ORGANIZATION Englehard Industries
GCA PERSONNEL Mark Bornstein
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Michalek was contacted about an article which recently appeared in
"Pollution Eng.". Several NO control processes are discussed and I in
quired about obtaining additional information. I was informed that addi-
tional data are not readily available; however, if I requested informa-
tion for a specific waste stream, Engelhard Industries would make a recom-
mendation concerning the type of control equipment that would be most
feasible. Compositions and flow rates for several representative waste
streams from the DMT-TPA were sent.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Air Correction was recontacted for the purpose of determining the status
of their evaluation of the control systems for both adipic acid and DMT
Control devices. Mr. Brewer informed me that they will start working on
the project this week and that GCA should receive the data in 2 or 3
weeks. (This information had not been received by the end of the task.)

ear Mr. Brewer:
As per our telephone conversation on Wednesday, March 31, 1976,
tarn enclosing data for several streams from the processing of adipic
cid and dimethylterephthalate. Physical parameters as well as any
additional data or chemical makeup is being provided.
It is my understanding that you will provide me with information
concerning the most practical way of controlling these streams for NO
(rid/or hydrocarbon emissions. Methods that will be considered are: x
crubbing, adsorption, catalytic reduction and thermal incineration.
brief economic evaluation, if feasible, will also be included.
• I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions
™n Wednesday. I am looking forward to obtaining the above system
evaluation as well as any additional data that IG I might have.

the status of their evaluation of the control systems for both adipic
acid and DMT. Mr. Williams informed me that they were proceeding with
the evaluation and we should be receiving the data in 2 or 3 weeks.

TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED DATE 5/14/76
ORGANIZATION
GCA PERSONNEL R. Cass
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Conversation with manufacturers of carbon adsorption units for hydro-
carbon control. The manufacturer was given the composition of stream
10-I-A. At the low concentration of hydrocarbons in stream 10-I-A,
the manufacturer recommended the use of a pilot plant to determine re-
moval efficiency. If each component was alone in the stream at approx-
imately 2 percent concentration, then up to 95 percent removal effi-
ciency could be expected. The carbon absorption unit will not affect
the CO concentration. The manufacturer felt that trying to quote an
efficiency on this low a concentration for this particular mixture of
hydrocarbons would be a disservice to us. (This information had not been
received by the end of the task.)

ORGANIZATION Trane-Thermal Co.
GCA PERSONNEL R. Cass
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Himmelburger was informed of the properties of stream I.D., 10-1-A
and asked about the removal of the HC's by incineration. He said that
it was possible to remove 99.9 percent of the HC's and that some CO
would be removed. He said that due to the large air volume flow rate
and the low concentration of HC;s, it may not be practical to use incin-
eration. To heat 1 pound of air to 1800 F to incinerate requires 180 M
Btu/hr. If the air going in is preheated by the heated discharge from
the incineration, fuel use may get down to 50 M Btu/hr. This comes out to
approximately 130 gal/hr of fuel. If the heated gas from the incinerator
can be used to generate steam for use in the plant, it may be practical.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
The following is a conversation with a scrubber manufacturer.
The manufacturer was given the flow rate and composition of stream 10-1-A.
He said that the hydrocarbons could be scrubbed if the right solvent is
used. The efficiency would be related to how much a company is willing
to invest. The cost is logarithmically related to the efficiency. He

said that a high pressure stream (like 10-1-A) would be easy to scrub
because of the additional driving force. A scrubber, however, would
probably not be feasible on a cost basis.

ORGANIZATION
GCA PERSONNEL R. Cass
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
The following is the response from a manufacturer of catalytic inciner-
ators.
The manufacturer stated that 90 percent removal efficiency of HC can be
expected with a catalytic unit and 95 percent with a thermal unit. There
is no potential problem for poisoning the catalyst with stream 10-1-A.
The presence of HC will reduce the fuel needed. With these streams,
special gas handling steps may be required as the concentration of CO
and HC may be above the explosive limit.

THERMAL
OXIDIZER
Burner ends ol two CEA thermal oxidizers which
consume oven solvent fumes at Ferrozell Ges. Sachs & Co.
near Munich, Germany.
Simplified schematic of
CEA fume-oxidizer/heat-recovery system.
Two CEA pollution-control/heat-
recovery systems utilize heat
generated in burning solvent fumes to:
(1) pre-heat the fumes prior to
combustion, and (2) heat high-
temperature hot water used to heat
platen presses. This waste heat
reclamation substantially reduces
fume combustion costs.
Fumes from five ovens are burned
in two CEA thermal oxidizers, each
with accompanying heat-recovery
equipment. Prior to entering an
oxidizer, fumes pass through a heat
exchanger where they are heated by
oxidizer exhaust gases from approx-
imately 220F to approximately 790F.
By pre-heating the incoming fumes,
oxidizer fuel costs are reduced roughly
52 percent. ..
Exhaust gases then pass through
a second hoat exchanger which is
tied into an existing high-temperature
hot water heating system having its
own hot water generator. The high-
temperature hot water heats platen
presses and ovens. By utilizing
oxidizer exhaust gases to partially
heat the hot water, generator fuel
requirements were reduced some
80 percent.
Utilization of oxidizer exhaust gases
to pre-heat fumes and to heat high-
temperature hot water greatly reduces
fuel costs, and the cost of operating
the pollution-control system becomes
only a fraction of what it would be
otherwise.
The installation is at Ferrozell Ges.
Sachs & Co. near Munich, Germany.
It is patterned after two similar CEA
installations in the U.S. Ferrozell
manufactures industrial laminates
used largely by the electronics
industry. In drying and curing resin-
impregnated web material which is
later formed into laminates, evaporated
solvents and particulate matter are
carried away in oven exhaust gases.
Phenolic emissions are particularly
odorous and were the cause of
endless neighborhood complaints.
Since installation of the CEA
system, odors have ceased and
exhaust gases contain less than 50
ppm of unburned hydrocarbons and
less than 2 ppm of phenol.
Each oxidizer handles up to
23,540 scfm. High-temperature hot
water temperature is controlled by a
sensor/damper system which
regulates flow of exhaust gases
through the heat exchanger and heat
exchanger by-pass to maintain the
high-temperature hot water at the
desired temperature.

Acetic Acid 0.07% by wt.
Methyl Acetate 0.21% by wt.
Dimethyl Ether, <_ 0.10% by wt.
CO 0.65%
N2 99.07%
A thermal oxidizer would have no problem combusting > 95 percent of
the HC and the CO. 100 percent efficiency wouldn't be achieved, but HC
and CO removals would approach this level. Since the unit would be
operated at low excess air rates, formation of additional CO is minimized.
A-223
-------
Since this stream is primarily inert, quantities of auxiliary fuel will
be required. Thus, heat recovery is advisable via waste heat steam, hot
water, or air-to-air recovery systems.
A ballpark cost figure for the burner, furnace, and fuel train controls
is $70,000; this is exclusive of heat recovery systems.

Dear Mr. Brennan:
As a follow up to our telephone conversation of April 2,1976, this letter is
a formal request for emission information from Amoco Chemical's Decatur, Alabama
dimethyl teraphthalate and teraphthalic acid (DMT-TPA) manufacturing plant and a
request for a site visit to gather similar information from Amoco's Joliet,
Illinois DMT-TPA plant.
GCA/Technology Division is under contract to the EPA to update basic background
information on DMT-TPA plants. The.results of this study will be used as part
of the EPA Emission Standards and Engineering Division's assessment of numerous
industries for the purpose of establishing priorities for setting new source
performance standards (NSPS).
The purpose of this project is to use updated information to estimate the
expected reduction of atmospheric emissions from DMT-TPA plants when NSPS are ap-
plied. The title of this study is "Screening Study to Determine Need for Standards
>f Performance for New Sources of Dimethyl Teraphthalate and Teraphthalic Acid Man-
"""ufacturing." These NSPS will not be set as part of this study, but will be based
on data collected during this study.. The project is scheduled to be completed by
June 9,1976.
The Amoco Chemical DMT-TPA plant in Decatur, Alabama, had been previously .
polled by questionnaire for information of the type we require by the Houdry Div-
ision of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. under the auspices of the EPA. The EPA
Project Officer was Leslie B. Evans. The questionnaire was returned to the EPA in
the fall of 1972. The results were incorporated into a report titled, Survey
Reports of Atmospheric Emissions from the Petrochemical Industry, Volume II
(EPA-450/3-73-005b), published January, 1974. For your convenience, a copy of
the completed questionnaire is attached. Much of the type of information that we
need was supplied in this questionnaire, but the information must be updated.
GCA feels that the most efficient way to obtain this information would be if
the original Houdry questionnaire for the Decatur, Alabama plant could be updated
and if the GCA Project Manager ( Dr. Donald Durocher) could visit the Joliet,
Illinois plant to obtain similar emission information from plant personnel. I
have enclosed a letter of intent stating the reasons for a plant visit and the
information that would be needed. Authorization for this project can be obtained
from the EPA Project Officer, Mr. Andrew Trenholm. Mr. Trenholm's address is given
in the enclosed letter. If you would like, Mr. Trenholm can provide you with
a formal letter of authorization from the EPA for GCA.

Gentlemen:
This letter is a request for information on air emissions from Amocofs Decatur,
Alabama and Joliet, Illinois DMT-TPA plants. GCA would like to obtain this informa-
tion by having plant personnel at the Decatur, Alabama plant update a previous
emissions questionnaire and by a site visit to the Joliet, Illinois plant.
GCA/Technology Division is under contract to the EPA to update basic background
information onDMT-TPA plants. The results of this study will be used as part of the
EPA Emission Standards and Engineering Division's assessment of numerous industries
for the purpose of establishing priorities for setting new source performance
standards (NSPS) which are defined in Section 111 of the Clean Air Act.
The purpose of this project is to use updated information to estimate the ex-
pected reduction of atmospheric emissions from DMT - TPA plants when NSPS are
applied. The title of this study is "Screening Study to Determine Need for Standards
of Performance for New Sources of Dimethyl Teraphthalate and Teraphthalic Acid
Manufacturing." These NSPS will not be set as part of this study, but will be based
on data collected during this study. This project is scheduled to be completed by
June 9, 1976. The EPA Project Officer is Mr. Andrew Trenholm of the Emission
Standards and Engineering Division of the EPA.
The Decatur Plant of Amoco Chemical had been previously polled by questionnaire
for information of the type we require by the Houdry Division of Air Products and
Chemicals, Inc. under the auspices of the EPA. The EPA Project Officer was Leslie
B. Evans. The questionnaire was returned to the EPA by Mr. J. D. Reed, Plant Man-
ager, in the fall of 1972. The results were incorporated into a report titled,
Survey Reports of Atmospheric Emissions from the Petrochemical Industry. Volume II
(EPA-450/3-73-005b), published January, 1974. For your convenience, a copy of the
completed questionnaire is attached.
Much of the type of information that we need was supplied by this question-
naire, but the information must be updated. Also, as the Joliet, Illinois facility
was not polled, similar information on this plant must be collected.
The information that we would like to obtain is summarized below:
1. The quantities and.compositions of emissions from all atmospheric
emission points. A block process flow diagram for the plant would
be very helpful. GCA realizes that process stream data may be
proprietary. In the absence of actual measurements of the atmo-

2. The types of control equipment or methods of process control used
by the plant to reduce atmospheric emissions. If at all possible,
installation and operating costs for control equipment would be
desired. The economics of control would provide basic supple-
mental information for determining the best system of emission
reduction. Mass flow balances around the control device would be
useful.
In addition, GCA must delineate all parameters affecting the mass
flow rate of emissions (e.g. non-normal operating conditions,
reactor vent dumps, season of the year, etc.);
(Information of the type outlined in Points 1 and 2 was contained in the
Houdry Division questionnaire. Therefore, updating this information would be
straightforward.)
3. Finally, as NSPS are applicable to facilities that are modified in
such a way as to increase the mass rate of emissions, GCA will have
to identify how DMT-TPA plants increase production rates or other-
wise modernize facilities. The key point here is to quantitatively
describe the effects of expansion and modernization techniques on
the mass rate of emission. This last point was not covered in the
Houdry Division report. However, we feel that this type of informa-
tion can readily be gained in conversation with plant managers.
We are interested in the Decatur Plant because it is one of the largest
producers of.DMT-TPA. As the Decatur plant has increased its production capacity
from 500 to over 2000 million pounds of DMT-TPA over the past four years, a
study of this facility would serve as an excellent example of how DMT-TPA plants
increase their output capacity and the effects of this increase on air emissions.
GCA has three options open to it in the acquisition of data for this
project:
Option 1 - Only literature data can be used. This approach is unsat-
isfactory as there is little data available in the open literature,
and that which is available is several years old. This approach
includes gathering information from state and local regulatory
agencies. However, as this information is often dated or unavail-
able, the most feasible approach is to collect the information from
the producing company;
Option 2 - New industrial questionnaires, similar to the Houdry Div-
ision questionnaire and applicable under Section 114 of the Clean
Air Act, can be sent out through the EPA. GCA would not like to
use this approach for three reasons.
1. the turn around time for a letter is long compared with the
duration of the project,
2. questionnaires are not flexible and cannot easily be changed
to reflect the situation,
3. questionnaires are generally considered an imposition on the
plant manager's time.
C-6

-3-
Option 3 - the GCA Project Manager, Dr. Donald Durocher, can visit
the Joliet Plant to collect the information from plant personnel.
In the case of a facility that has previously filled out a
questionnaire for the Houdry Division of Air Products, it would
be most efficient if the questionnaire were updated.
This is the course that GCA hopes to pursue. This option would
allow for a rapid transfer of information and would insure a
good understanding of the DMT-TPA plant processes and, therefore,
an accurate presentation of the results.
As the duration of this project is short, an appointment to visit your plant
sometime in April or early May would be quite appealing. I am looking forward to
your response to this request. If you have any questions on this request,please
contact me or Mr. Andrew Trenholm. Mr. Trenholm's address is below:

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Both the Joliet and Decatur Plants are not going to make DMT anymore, but
are concentrating on TPA production. Their foreign plants will be making
DMT. He has told all customers that DMT production will be stopping in
the near future.
The Decatur Plant will update the questionnaire and send it back to us.
I asked him if they could send it back by May 1. He said he'd try.
We should visit the Joliet Plant. I should contact

They will update all the information contained in the Houdry report.
Also, they will give us a block flow diagram, total capacity, but not
production figures and tell us in general how much production there is.
He will supply all emission information. There were questions in the
Illinois questionnaire that could be used to calculate yields, and that
is why the questionnaire is confidential. They specifically instructed
the Illinois APC Board not to give out confidential information or any
information if they don't need to.
We will be able to get the efficiency of control equipment. He said there
haven't been many changes in the plant since 1972.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Chalker said that we would have to go through channels to gain any kind
of information. He did say that a site visit, especially since time is
limited would be the best bet. The best approach for this is to write him
a letter summarizing what we need to know and the time schedule involved.
This will speed things up as he will be able to show this directly to all
concerned parties; especially the Wilmington Office, which must clear all
information and be disseminated.
Mr. Chalker can't give us permission to visit the plant. This will have
to come from the Wilmington Office. Letter should explicitly state what
we hope to accomplish and the information that we seek. The fact that
NSPS are going to be set should be stressed, as it will drive home the
urgency of the matter, and validate the request for information. This
letter should be sent out immediately. We should also state why a personal
visit is requested. Everything should be explicitly spelled out but should
also be concise.
Mr. Chalker also suggested that we contact state agencies to determine
what new equipment may have been installed in these plants (at least
where a permit is required). He didn't see a need to contact the Project
Officer at this time.

Confirming our conversation today, we will expect your visit to
Wilmington on May 18, 1976, at 9:00 am in Room D-1100 (second
floor of the Du Pont Building) . This is located in center city
adjacent to the Hotel Du Pont. The easiest access would be the
entrance on Orange Street between Tenth and Eleventh Streets.
If you were delayed, the phone to this Room is 774-8765.
We will discuss updating the Houdry report on adipic acid plant
air emissions relative to your contract with EPA. At that time
or before, we can let you know our position on your request for
information on the DMT/TPA processes which I pointed out we are
a licensee.
Undoubtedly, the subject of confidentiality will come up and
how this is covered in your contract with EPA. It might be of
value to have a copy available. You mentioned that you had
received from the Texas Air Control Board permit applications
for Du Pont adipic acid operations. We would be highly interested
in seeing copy of what TACB furnished you. With other EPA
contractors, to whom we have furnished information, we have had
an opportunity to review their draft reports. This has proven
of benefit to both parties. I hope we would have this opportunity

The Hanover Plant of Hercules, Inc. in Wilmington, North Carolina, had been
previously polled by questionnaire for information of the type we require by the
Houdry Division of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. under the auspices of the EPA.
The EPA Project Officer was Leslie B. Evans. The questionnaire was returned to

were incorporated into a report titled, "Survey Reports of Atmospheric Emissions

1974. For your convenience, a copy of the completed questionnaire is attached.
Much of the type of information that we need was supplied by this question-
naire, but the information must be updated. The information that we would like
to obtain is summarized below:
1. The quantities and compositions of emissions from all atmospheric
emission points. A process flow diagram for the plant would be
very helpful. GCA realizes that process stream data may be
proprietary. In the absence of actual measurements of the atmo-
spheric emissions, mass balance calculations would be sufficient;
2. The types of control equipment or methods of process control used
by the plant to reduce atmospheric emissions. If at all possible,
installation and operating costs for control equipment would be
desired. The economics of control would provide basic supple-
mental information for determining the best system of emission
reduction. Mass flow balances around the control device would
be useful information.

(Information of the type outlined in Points 1 and 2 was contained in the
Houdry Division questionnaire). Therefore, updating this information would be
Btraightforward)
3. Finally, as NSPS are applicable to facilities that are modified in
such a way as to increase the mass rate of emissions, GCA will
have to identify how DMT-TPA plants increase production rates or
otherwise modernize facilities. The key point here is to quanti-
tatively describe the effects of expansion and modernization tech-
niques on the mass rate of emission. This last point was not
covered in the Houdry Division Report. However, we feel that this
type of information can readily be gained in conversation with
plant managers.
We are interested in the Hanover Plant because it is one of the largest
producers of DMT-TPA. As the Hanover plant has increased its production capacity
from 450 to over 130C million pounds of DMT-TPA over the past four years, a
study of this facility would serve as an excellent example of how DMT-TPA plants
increase their output capacity and the effects of this increase on air emissions.
GCA has three options open to it in the acquisition of data for this
project:
Option 1 - Only literature data can be used. This approach is unsat-
isfactory as there is little data available in the open literature,
and that which is available is several years old;
Option 2 - Industrial questionnaires, similar to the Houdry Division
questionnaire and applicable under Section 114 of the Clean Air
Act, can be sent out through the EPA. GCA would not like to use
this approach for three reasons:
1. the turn around time for a letter is long compared with the
duration of the project,
2. questionnaires are not flexible and cannot easily be changed
to reflect the situation,
3. questionnaires are generally considered an imposition on the
plant manager's time.
Option 3 - the GCA Project Manager, Dr. Donald Durocher, can visit
the Hanover Plant to collect .the information from plant personnel.
This is the course that GCA hopes to pursue. This option would
allow for a rapid transfer of information and would insure a good
understanding of the Hanover Plant processes and, therefore, an
accurate presentation of the results.

any information.
There have been no major changes since the Houdry report. They are a
small outfit and are slightly below economical size.
They are getting together information on air emissions for the state.
It would be best if I visited them to collect the information in the

Gentlemen:
This letter is a request to visit Hoechst's DMT-TPA plant in Spartanburg,
South Carolina. The purpose of this visit will be to gather information on
atmospheric emissions, emission control systems, and methods employed to ex-
pand a DMT-TPA plant's output capacity.
GCA/Technology Division is under contract to the EPA to update basic
background information on DMT-TPA plants. The results of this study will be
used as part of the EPA Emission Standards and Engineering Division's assess-
ment of numerous industries for the purpose of establishing priorities for
setting new source performance standards (NSPS) which are defined in Sec-
tion 111 of the Clean Air Act.
The purpose of this project is to use updated information to estimate
the expected reduction of atmospheric emissions from DMT-TPA plants when NSPS
are applied. The title of this study is "Screening Study to Determine Need
for Standards of Performance for New Sources of Dimethyl Terephthalate and

study, but will be based on data collected during this study. This project
is scheduled to be completed by June 9, 1976. The EPA Project Officer is
Mr. Andrew Trenholm of the Emission Standards and Engineering Division of the
EPA.
The information that we would like to obtain is summarized below:
1. Design, operating and emission information for control
systems used by the plant to reduce atmospheric emis-
sions. If at all possible, installation and operating
costs for control equipment would be desired. The eco-
nomics of control would provide basic supplemental in-
formation for determining the best system of emission
reduction. Mass flow balances around the control device
would be useful information.
2. The quantities and compositions of emissions from all
atmospheric emission points. We are concerned with
emissions from the total process; i.e., from the storage
of p-xylene to the storage of the purified DMT or TPA
product. A block process flow diagram for the plant
would be very helpful. GCA realizes that process stream
data may be proprietary. In the absence of actual mea-
surements of the atmospheric emissions, mass balance cal-
culations would be sufficient.

As a follow up to our telephone conversation of April 2, 1976, this letter
is a formal request for emission information from Tennessee Eastman's dimethyl
teraphthalate and teraphthalic acid (DMT-TPA) manufacturing plant and a request
for a site visit to the DMT-TPA plant in Kingsport, Tennessee.
GCA/Technology Division is under contract to the EPA to update basic back-
ground information on DMT-TPA plants. The results of this study will be used as
part of the EPA Emission Standards and Engineering Division's assessment of

but will be based on data collected during this study. The project is scheduled
to be completed by June 9, 1976.
The Tennessee Eastman DMT-TPA plant in Kingsport, Tennessee had been pre-
viously polled by questionnaire for information of the type we require by the
Hcudry Division of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. under the auspices of the
EPA. The EPA Project Officer was Leslie B. Evans. The questionnaire was re-
turned to the EPA on August 30, 1972. The results were incorporated into a
report titled, "Survey Reports of Atmospheric Emissions from the Petrochemical
Industry. Volume II (EPA-450/3-73-005b), published January. 1974.For your
convenience, copies of the completed questionnaire are attached. Much of the
type of information that we need was supplied in these questionnaires, but the
information must be updated.
As part of this study, I would like to visit and gather information from
the personnel at the Kingsport plant. I have enclosed a letter of intent
stating the reasons for a plant visit and the information that would be needed.
Authorization for this project can be obtained from the EPA Project Officer,
Mr. Andrew Trenholm. Mr. Trenholm's address is given in the enclosed letter.
I am looking forward to Tennessee Eastman's response to our request and
would appreciate any assistance that you could give us in this matter. If you

the DMT-TPA industry. On May 12 I visited Mr. John R. Cooper, Polymer Intermediates
Department of E.I. DuPont to obtain air emission data for their Wilmington, N.C.
plant. He stated that, as DuPont leases its DMT technology from Tennessee Eastman,
he could not release any information on air emissions from the process without your
express authorization.
Specifically, the information we are seeking is:
• a block process flow diagram of the DMT facility;
• the quantity and composi'tion of all air emissions from the purified
DMT unit;
• the means by which the above data was determined (i.e. design
estimate, materials balance, actual sampling and analysis);
• the type,efficiency and design characteristics of all emission
control devices, used in the DMT facility.
To the best of my knowledge none of this information is proprietary. I have
been in contact with James E. Edwards and W.M. Crawford of Tennessee Eastman and
will be visiting them May 21 to gather similar information on air emissions from
Tennessee Eastman's DMT-TPA plant In Kingsport, Tennessee.

TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Mr. James W. Cooper DATE 3/31/76
ORGANIZATION Alabama Air Pollution Control Commission
GCA PERSONNEL P. Spawn
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
The local agency that has jurisdiction over the Amoco TPA plant in
Decatur, Alabama is:
Tri-County District Health Service
Air Pollution Control Program
. Decatur, Alabama
The director of the program is Mr. Gene Gaywell, at 205-353-7021.
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Mr. Gene Saywell DATE 3/31/76
Air Pollution Control Program, Tri-County
ORGANIZATION District Health Service, Decatur, Ala.
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Saywell was quite knowledgable about the Amoco TPA plant in Decatur,
Alabama. Many (professional) people feel that this plant is the most
C-48
-------
complex air pollution source in the state. There are several names for
TPA — TPA, TA, and PTA — purified terephthalic acid. The state and Amoco
use the latter — PTA.
There are four basic plant processes at the Amoco TPA plant.
1. Aromatics converted to para-xylene
2. p-xylene to crude TPA
3. Purification to PTA
4. Formation of a dimethyl ester.
The plant is rapidly expanding and production is now about twice the
1972 levels. When the fifth p-xylene oxidation unit is completed, total
plant capacity will be 2 billion Ib/yr.
Permit emission data is available and will be put together and sent.
There are 50 separate permits (20 boilers in plant). The data on CO-HC-
NO emissions are engineering estimates, made by Amoco or their consul-
X
tant. Mr. Saywell has found some estimates to be considerably lower
than actual emissions. (The estimates in question were for the ester-
ification units.)
Amoco is required to perform stack tests with the APC office overseeing
the process. However, the sampling program is only for particulates
and S0~ and hasn't really begun yet as they are concentrating on getting
the plant in compliance. State agency does stack testing to evaluate
violations or perform research.
Another aspect of major concern to Mr. Saywell's office is high particu-
late emissions from incineration of the large quantities of molten solid
waste generated. The strict incinerator particulate limits of 0.2 lb/
100 lb charged are exceeded. Currently, there are concerns over whether or
not incinerator standards should apply to this disposal method. The
incinerator is equipped with electrostatic precipitator. He was unsure
of what standards would apply to a NO catalytic incinerator.

C-49
-------
Regulations: No CO limits - the section on "petroleum processes" does
not apply to TPA from para-xylene. No HC regulations on emissions (only
in Mobile County), but there are controls on storage, transfer, etc.
No specific regulations for para-xylene. NO limits for nitric acid and
X
coke plants only. Particulate emissions controlled by process weight
table in original Air Law (1971). Process weight calculation includes
all raw ingredients including water.
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Mr. H. Theumer DATE 4/1/76
ORGANIZATION Tri County District Health Service
GCA PERSONNEL P. Spawn
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Apparently, Decatur and Tri County District are separate organizations.
While they are following the state A.P. regulations, several points should
be noted:
1. Section 6.2, Volatile Organics Loading regulations are not
applicable simply because there are no facilities that
large.
2. Mr. Theumer was unaware of the existence of any water separa-
tion facilities which would be controlled by Section 6.3.
3. Regulation 6.1, storage of organics, is applied in Decatur.
4. According to Mr. Theumer, Sections 6.6 and 6.6.9, organic
and photochemically reactive solvents, apply to solvent
manufacture and would not apply to the Decatur TPA plant.
I'll confirm this with Tri County District A.P.C. Director,
Gene Saywell.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Gene Saywell, County A.P.C. Director, asked Mr. Seever to compile
the information. Mr. Seever called us to verify what was needed.
The Tri County (Amoco PTA is in Morgan County) regulations are the
same as the state's, except for emission standards for HC. Alabama is
currently regulating particulates and SO , and not worrying about
X
others. HC regulations on the books are never enforced, to his know-
ledge. He will send us county regulations.
He seemed interested, will search out files and send us available emis-
sion and plant data — available emission tests are only for particulates
and SO . Other data for HC-CO may be available, but information may be
X
from Amoco's calculations as opposed to stack sampling.
Expect information early next week - 4/19.

PERSON CONTACTED Mr. Miles Zamco DATE 3/30/76
ORGANIZATION Division of Air Pollution Control, Illinois EPA
GCA PERSONNEL P. Spawn
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
The Amoco TPA plant in Joliet has a confidential permit so no informa-
tions is available to us. Mr. Zamco suggested contacting Mr. Marshal
Monarch, Air Resources Analysis Section, for specific questions regard-
ing standards (217-782-1830).
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Mr. Marshal Monarch DATE 3/30/76
ORGANIZATION Air Resources Analysis Section, Illinois EPA
EPA PERSONNEL P. Spawn
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
He'll send a copy of the air pollution regulations. Currently there are
some NO limits, CO limits of 200 ppm and HC limits of 8 Ib/hr for photo-
X
chemically reactive matter. Raw material input to Amoco plant in Joliet
includes aromatics; most aromatics are photochemically reactive so the
HC standard probably applies. There are specific standards for particu-
lates for catalytic regneration processes.
C-52
-------
Presently, Amoco is involved with hearings regarding their proposal to
reduce or dispense with CO emission limits. Apparently, some plants
(including this one) cannot meet the 200 ppm standard. Several other
Amoco plants in the state manufacture chemicals of a similar nature and
classification as TPA.
There are no regulations specifically for TPA manufacture. There is
a local air pollution agency in Joliet, but he didn't think they had
much authority.
While the emission permit is confidential, emission data may be avail-
able from the proceedings of the hearings for the initial permit which
are availabel at the State Air Control Board in Chicago.
TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
PERSON CONTACTED Mr. Marshal Monarch DATE 3/30/76
ORGANIZATION Air Resources Analysis Section, Illinois EPA
GCA PERSONNEL P. Spawn
DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Hearings will be held in April regarding CO limits.
Illinois EPA has considered TPA manufacture as a petrochemical process,
applying the 200 ppm standard. Amoco is contesting this, saying that
the partial oxidation involved in TPA manufacture isn't a true petro-
chemical process and should have different CO regulations.
Monarch's department considers the HC emission regulations applicable
to TPA but hasn't current knowledge. For this, contact Dr. John Reed,
Permits Section, 217-782-0088.
C-53
-------
For particulates, new sources, such as additional process units, must
meet new source standards, Section 203a. In addition, the total emis-
sions from the new units plus the old must be less than Section 203b.
Each operation in the process — boilers, reactors, and incinerators —
must abide by regulations applicable to that particular process. Total
emissions, from all operations, is not of concern unless ambient air
standards are exceeded.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
He said that information on production rates and increases in produc-
tion is confidential!
He also said that TPA manufacture is considered a petrochemical process,
thus, the regulations specific to petrochemicals (CO, HC) apply. CO
emissions are governed by fuel burning regulations for boilers and the
petrochemical standard (200 ppm) for the rest of the plant.

Dear Mr. Willard:
GCA/Technology Division is under contract with the EPA to update basic
background information on dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and terephthalic acid
(TPA) manufacturing plants. The results of this survey will be used as basic
data when the EPA sets new source performance standards for NOX emissions from
the DMT-TPA industry. The EPA Project Officer is Andrew Trenholm. His address
is given below. The title of the project is "Screening Study to Determine Need
for Standards of Performance for New Sources of Dimethyl Terephthalate and
Terephthalic Acid Manufacturing."
As part of this study, we must contact state air pollution agencies to
delineate all applicable state and local air pollution emission control regula-
tions. For each plant we need to identify all atmospheric emission sources
and the quantities and composition of all air waste streams. Also, air pollu-
tion control devices must be tabulated.
GCA is aware that Amoco's emission permit is confidential. However, Mr.
Lovett of the Field Services Section suggested that emission data for this
plant would be available to us upon written request. Therefore, could you
please send us such emission data as available.
We thank you for your time and are looking forward to your response.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Illinois doesn't hold hearings prior to granting emission permist except
for a "permit denial appeal." Mr. DuMill had no recollection of such a
hearing for Amoco and TPA — he felt he'd remember "such an unusual
process."
There may be emission data in the transcripts of the rule making pro-
ceedings, which preceded the original Air Act, 1970-71. Witnesses from
Amoco or trade associations may have introduced emission data as an ex-
hibit (evidence). These transcripts are in Mr. DuMill's office and can
be examined. He doesn't have the staff to search it out.
Further information on the 1970-71 hearings might be provided by Dr.

I also discussed confidentiality of information and stressed that we
wanted public information and nothing that would hinder relations or
offend industries. Actual production rates are available but are trade
secrets.
The main emission sources are the air oxidation (para-xylene) units
since the following operations involve product handling and purification.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
Mr. Mclnnis was quite helpful. He will send us copies of permits and
other data on the Tennessee Eastman Plant in Kingsport, Tenn. There
is no real NO problem at this plant; however, there are problems with
X
the opacity of particulate emission low particulate count, but high
opacity.
The DuPont Plant in Old Hickory increased production about 2 years ago.
(Note: See conversation with Mr. Bontrager of the local agency.) Its
permit is in the Davidson County local agency office. There are problems
at this plant with NO - it is emitted periodically as a visible cloud
X
or plume at which time the regulations are enforced. Periodic monitor-
ing and emission reports are not required.
There are new standards for particulates and SO but no regulations on
•X.
NO . He will send us a copy of the regulations and their current status.

Angela Samuelson, a liaison officer between the state and local offices,
can refer us to someone at the Davidson County office. We can also
call Paul Bontrager, the Director, at 615-327-9313, Ext. 215.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
The DuPont DMT Plant in Old Hickory, Tennessee has been closed for 1%
years. A new plant is under construction at the same site and will be
on line in 6 to 8 months. Mr. Bontrager has a 2-inch thick operating
permit for the new (?) plant and will send us copies of the emission
data summary - there are 20 emission points, each of which is discussed.
The plant has (will have?) an incinerator with electrostatic precipi-
tator for liquid waste disposal. Incinerator particulate standards
apply here. An afterburner process, as in the destruction of NO , is
X
governed by process particulate emission standards.

DISCUSSION SUMMARY
I called Mr. Mclnnis to see if he had sent us emission and permit data
for the Tennessee Eastman DMT Plant; he hadn't.
Regulations are still out of pring; he will send them when available.
Basically, for gaseous pollutants, Mclnnis said Tennessee is requiring
"best available control" technology. Also, for new sources, the state
is adopting the federal NSPS.
Though he said data would be on its way and will send regulations when
available, this is questionable. I suggest calling again in a week or
so.

4.4 Process Industries - General.
4.4.1 Class 1 Counties: No person shall cause or permit
the emission of paniculate matter in any one hour from
any source in a Class I county in excess of the amount
shown in Table 4-2 for the process weight per hour
allocated to such source. For sources in Class 1 counties,
interpolation of the data in Table 4-2 for the process
weight per hour values up to 60,000 Ibs/hr shall be
accomplished by use of the equation:
E = 3.59P°'62 P«30lons/hr
and interpolation and cxtcrpolation of the data for pro-
cess weight per hour values equal to or in excess of
60,000 Ibs/hr shall he accomplished by use of the equa-
tion:
• E = 17.31 l'°-u> P^.U! tonw'hr
where:
li - Emissions in pounds per hour
1' = Process weight per hour in tons per hour.
4.4.3 Where the nature of any process or operation or
the design of any equipment is such as to permit more
than one interpretation of (his Part, the interpretation
that results in the minimum value for allowable emission
shall apply.
4.4.4 For purposes of this Part, the total process
weight from all similar process units at a plant or
premises shall be used for determining the maximum
allowable emission of participate matter that passes
through a stack or stacks.
4.4.5 New sources subject to this .Part emitting particu-
latc matter shall lie subject to the rules and regulations
for'('hiss I counties, Section 4.4.1, regardless of their
location.
"P'.rii^ilatp Mattpr" shall mean finely divided material,
except uncombined water which is a liquid or solid at
str.iu.lard conditions of temperature at 70 degrees F and
pressure at 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute.

-------
"Process" shall mean any action, operation, or treat-
ment of materials, including handling and storage thereof,
which may cause discharge of an air contaminant, or
contaminants, into the atmosphere, but excluding fuel
burning and refuse burning.
"Process Weight" shall mean the total weight in pounds
of all materials introduced into any specific process which
may cause any discharge into the atmosphere.
"grocess Weight Per Hour" shall mean the total weight
of all materials introduced into any specific process that
may cause any discharge of paniculate matter. Solid fuels
charged will be considered as part of the process weight,
but liquid and gaseous fuels and combustion air will not.
For a cyclical or batch operation, the process weight per
hour will be derived by dividing the total process weight
by the number of hours in one'••complete operation from
the beginning of any given process to the completion
thereof, excluding any time during which the equipment
is idle. For a continuous operation, the process weight per
hour will be derived by dividing the process weight for a
typical period of time by that time period.

Summary of Regulations for North Carolina
The following sections of North Carolina's State regualtions are ap-
plicable to DMT-TPA plants. These regulations were taken from the
Environmental Reporter, State Air Laws, 5-217, arid were last updated
March 21, 1974.
Particulate Emissions
2.30 Conttol and Prohibition of Particulate Emissions
From Miscellaneous Industrial Processes
No person shall cause, suffer, allow, or permit panicu-
late matter caused by industrial processes for which no
other emission control standards are applicable to be
discharged from any stack or chimney into the atmos-
phere in excess of the rates shown in Table I.
Process weight per hour means the total weight of all
materials introduced into any specific process that may
cause any emission of particulate matter Solid fuels
charged are considered as part of the process weight, but
liquid and gaseous fuels and combustion air are not. For a
cyclical or batch operation, the process weight per hour is
derived by dividing the total process weight by the
number of hours in one complete operation from the
beginning of any given process to the completion thereof,
excluding any time during which the equipment is idle.
For a continuous operation, the process weight per hour
is derived by dividing the process weight for a typical
period of time.

a source operation, including solid fuels, but excluding liquids and gases
used solely as fuels, and excluding air introduced for combustion and
other purposes.
Process Weight Rate - A rate established as follows:
(a) For continuous or long-run steady-state source operations,
the total process weight for the entire period of con-
tinuous operation or for a typical portion thereof, divided .
by the number of hours of such period or portion thereof.
(b) For cyclical or batch unit operations, or unit processes,
the total process weight for a period that covers a complete
operation or an integral number of cycles, divided by the hours
of actual process operation during such a period.

CHAPTER VII
PROCESS EMISSION STANDARDS
SECTION 1 — GENERAL PROCESS PARTICULATE EMISSION STANDARDS
A. No person shall cause/ suffer, allow or permit particulate
emissions in excess of the standards in this Chapter.
B. In any county where one or more sources are emitting
particulates at rates in conformity with applicable
maximum allowable emission rates and the ambient air
quality standard for particulate matter is being ex-
ceeded, the Board shall be responsible for setting an
appropriate emission standard for each source contribut-
ing to the particulate matter in the ambient air of the
county, at such value as the Board may consider necessary .
to achieve the desired air quality.
C. The owner or operator of an existing process emission
source proposing to make a modification of this source
or to rebuild or to replace it shall only take such
action if it will result in the source meeting the
maximum allowable particulate emission standard for a
new process emission source.
C-105
-------
SECTION 2 — CHOICE OF PARTICULATE EMISSION STANDARDS -
EXISTING PROCESSES
A. For any process emission source operating withir^ the?
State of Tennessee, which was in operation or under
construction prior to August 9, 1969, the allowable
emission standard shall be obtained from either the
diffusion equations presented in Section 2 (c) below
or the process weight table presented in Section 2
(D) below. The owner or operator of such a process
emission source sha3.1 make known, in writing, to the
Technical Secretary by July 1, 1972, his choice of
emission standard. If no choice is so indicated, the
Technical Secretary shall designate the emission stan-
dard of Section 2 (D) below as the applicable standard.
The emission standard chosen, either by the owner or
operator or by the Technical Secretary, must be attained
on or before August 9, 1973.
B. For any process emission source operating within the
State of Tennessee, construct- |nn of which began on or
after August 9, 1969, and before the effective date 6t
these regulations, the allowable emission standard shall
be the diffusion equations presented in Section 2 (C)
below. This standard must have been attained at the
time such process emission source first commenced opera-
tion. The owner or operator of such .a source shall
make known in writing to the Technical Secretary by
July 1, 1972, whether he wishes to continue under the
diffusion equations standard or to switch to the pro-
cess weight table standard presented in Section 2 (D).
If no choice is so indicated, the Technical Secretary
shall designate the emission standard of Section 2 (D)
below as the applicable standard. If the process weight
table standard is chosen by such owner or operator or
by the Technical Secretary, then such owner or operator
shall have until August 9, 1973, to convert fully to the
process weight table standard. It is expressly stipu-
lated that in the interim period 'such a process emission
source shall continue to observe the diffusion equations
standard originally applicable.
C. For those owners or operators of process emission
sources who elect to have their process emissions
regulated by diffusion equations, the maximum allow-
able particulate emissions from such sources shall
be determined by the procedures defined in (1) /(2)
and (3) below.

Note: In determining applicability of equations
in this subsection based upon exit gas
temperature the actual exit gas temperature
must equal or exceed the stated temperature
during ninety (90) percent or more of the
operating time.

-------
D. For those owners or operators of process emission
sources who elect to have their process emissions
regulated by the Process Weight Table, the maximum
allowable particulate emissions from a process
emission source shall be determined by Table 1. .
E. Whichever standard is chosen, all sources at the
same facility must be regxilated by that standard.
SECTION 3 — NEW PROCESSES
The allowable emission level of particulate matter from
any process emission source beginning operation on or
after the effective date of this regulation shall be
determined by Table 2.
SECTION 4 — LIMITING ALLOWABLE EMISSIONS
A. Irrespective of the maximum allowable emission as
determined by any of the preceding equations or
Process Weight Tables in this Chapter, the con-
centration of particulate process emissions shall not
be required to be less than 0.02 grgin per cubic
foot of stack gases corrected to 70 F and 1 atmos-
phere unless a lesser concentration is found by the
Board to be necessary.
B. Irrespective of the maximum allowable emission as
determined by any of the preceding equations or
Process Weight Tables in this Chapter the maximum
allowable concentration of particulate process
emissions shall be 0.25 grains per cubic foot of
stack gases corrected to 70 P and 1 atmosphere.
This shall be achieved by all air contaminant
sources on or before August 9, 1973. Air contaminant
sources constructed after August 9, 1969, shall meet
the above emission standard when they commence operation,
SECTION 5 — SPECIFIC PROCESS EMISSION STANDARDS
The emission limits set forth in Sections 2,3, or
4 will apply unless a specific process emission
standard for a specifically designated type of process
emission source is contained in a subsequent Section
of this Chapter.
