Customer Industries
• 80+% reduction in TRI emissions (EPA Hammer Award)
• 60+% reduction in hazardous waste generation
• 51% reduction in consumptive use of well water
• 300+ TPY reduction in air emissions (VOCs and TRS)
Panama City Plant P2 Activities
Factors Affecting the Project
• Major production units installed prior to air permitting regulations
• Major production units remained unregulated in the Title V Permit issued in 1998
• Very high potentials to emit for these unregulated units.
• EPA’s PSD reinterpretation
• Challenge to increase production quickly
Options
• Modify process only (Construction Permit required)
• Modify the process and install new pollution control equipment (Construction Permit required)
• Emission increase, decrease, or no change
• Complete or partial emissions control
Our Solution
• Installation of pollution control device pictured at the right
• Partial control of process emissions
• Emissions reductions exceeding 300 TPY
• Increase in allowable production rates of >25%
• Met project timelines
Thermal Oxidizer Process Flow
Lessons Learned
• Involve FDEP early and often
• If possible, treat your regulator as a project team member
• Put yourself in the regulator’s place, the more you can offer the faster the project timeline
• Make sure that all parties involved are getting something from the project
