Notice of Intent to Issue a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue two plan approvals to Indspec Chemical Corporation (133 Main Street, Petrolia, PA 16050), for their plant located in Petrolia Borough, Butler County. The facility has applied for a Title V permit No. TV-10-00021. These plan approvals will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. PA-10-0021D is for the post modification of the Copeland Unit. The modification of this source resulted in reduced phenol emissions. The permit contains limitations pertaining to fugitive, particulate matter, odor and visible emissions. The source also has a permit limit of 7,500 hours per year (on a 12 month rolling basis). The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional record keeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Plan approval No. PA-10-0021H is a minor modification of Plan approval PA-10-0021G. This plan approval was for the construction of a new resin Hold Tank and modification of the resin scrubber. The facility prepared a netting analysis associated with this source, the #10 boiler, the modification to the Resorcinol Flaker Scrubber, the No. 3 & 4 Kiln, No. 5 & 6 Dryers, No. 3 & 4 Spray Towers, No. 5 & 6 Venturi Scrubbers, Secondary Scrubber, Resorcinol Storage Tank and Vent Scrubber System, the Resin Plant and the Copeland Unit. The netting analysis indicated an increase of approximately 96 TPY of CO and decreases in NOx, PM-10, SO2, and VOC. The decreases are due to the shut down of boilers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 prior to startup of the No. 10 boiler and conversion of the Copeland Unit. The permit contains limitations pertaining to fugitive, particulate matter, odor and visible emissions. The source also has a resin production limit of 19,124,000 pounds per year (on a 12 month rolling basis), and a permit limit of 6,400 hours per year (based on a 12 month rolling total) for the Hold Tank. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional record keeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
