25-197E: TSK Partners Inc. (6300 West Ridge Road, Erie, PA 16506), for authorization to construct and operate a cartridge filter dust collector which will replace a venturi rod scrubber at their existing Erie Bronze and Aluminum, Fairview Facility in Fairview Township, Erie County. Public notice is required for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44. The facility currently operates under state only operating permit 25-00197 which expires July 31st, 2012. An application to renew the operating permit is currently being reviewed.
This control device will reduce emissions from the sand handling system (Source 101). The air contaminate collection points, the blower fan, and the duct work will not change as a result of this project, therefore, air flow and contaminate collection efficiency is not expected to change significantly. The filter has an estimated removal efficiency of 99.8 percent for particles 0.5 micron and larger. The PM emission rate will be the minimum achievable through BAT. Currently, 0.01 g/dscf is consistent with BAT, therefore the source will be required to meet this limitation. This emission limitation is more stringent than the 0.04 g/dscf standard limitation established in 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 and more stringent than the current SOOP's emission limitation.
The owner/operator shall comply with conditions, which will satisfy the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b (pertaining to plan approval terms and conditions) and will demonstrate Best Available Technology for the source. These conditions are summarized below.

A copy of both the dust collector and the cartridge filter manufacturer's operational and maintenance guide/literature shall be kept onsite at the control device at all times. The owner/operator shall perform a monthly preventative maintenance (PM) inspection of the cartridge filter dust collector. The owner/operator shall maintain a preventative maintenance log. The owner/operator shall retain on site a number of spare cartridge filters equal to 10% of the cartridge filters in use or a number of spare cartridge filters as recommended by the manufacturer, whichever is greater.
The owner/operator shall install, maintain, and calibrate a pressure and temperature gage to monitor inlet air. The owner/operator shall maintain an operating pressure drop range of 1.0 to 6.0 inches of water, gage pressure, across the dust collector. The owner/operator shall limit the temperature of air entering the control device to 190 degrees Fahrenheit or less. The owner/operator shall record in a log pressure drop readings across the cartridge filter and inlet air temperature.
