CROMWELL-PHOENIX INC.’S POST-HEARING BRIEF
CROMWELL-PHOENIX, Inc.
(“Cromwell”), by and through its attorneys, and pursuant
to 35
Ill. Adm.
Code
§
101.612 and the Hearing Officer’s Order dated August 11, 2003,
respectflully submits the following as its post-hearing brief.
During the course ofthe August 7, 2003
hearing on Cromwell’s Petition for Adjusted
Standard, the Hearing Officer, Mr. Bradley P. Halloran, determined that certain questions posed
by Alisa Liu ofthe Illinois Pollution Control Board should be addressed by the parties in their
post-hearing briefs.
~
Transcript p.
5, Lines
7-9.
Although Mr.
Boyd,
the attorney for
Cromwell, responded to some ofMs. Liu’s questions,
Mr. Boyd was not sworn as a witness.
Cromwell now addresses the questions posed by Ms.
Liu.
The following responses are
supported by the affidavits ofthe persons with personal knowledge to respond to the specific
questions.
Ms.
Liu:
The Petitioner, on page 17, refers to some
experiments that were conducted,
reformulate CI coatings and installation ofadd-on controls.
Ther&s some
detailed information
concerning the evaluation ofthe add-on controls, but there is no data documenting the
experiments that were conducted on the reformulated coatings.
I was wondering if you could
please provide some information on those experiments and the results oftheir testing?
Transcript, p.
15.
Response:
The reformulation tests were conducted under the direction ofChet A.
Bidessi, Cromwell’s Laboratory Director, from December 2001
through June 2002.
A
CH1
10566745.1

discussion ofthe test results is
included at paragraphs
5
-
in the Affidavit ofChet A.
Bidessi,
attached hereto as Exhibit
1.
Ms. Liu:
In the petition on page four, Cromwell mentions that it may be the
only
manufacturer ofCI packaging material in Illinois.
Could you please comment on whether or not
Cromwell
is aware ofother CI packaging manufacturers in other states that are subject to similar
VOM emission control requirements?
...
And if so,
could you follow up with whether or not
Cromwell
is aware ofhow those other facilities comply with those applicable VOM limitations
that they have in their states?
Transcript, p.
16.
Response:
Based on their knowledge ofthe industry, Cromwell representatives believe
that other companies opcrate facilities that manufacture CI packaging materials in Indiana,
Wisconsin and Canada.
Cromwell representatives have not, however, researched what VOM
emission control requirements, if any, apply to those CI packaging material production facilities,
and are not aware if or how those other facilities comply with any applicable
VOM limitations.
~
Paragraph 10 ofthe Affidavit ofChet A. Bidessi.
Ms. Liu:
The petition does not include a street number for Cromwell’s Alsip facility.
It
refers to Ridgeway Avenue.
Could you please provide a more precise address, please?
Transcript, p.
16.
Response:
The Cromwell-Phoenix facility is located at 12701
South
Ridgeway in Alsip,
Illinois.
~
Paragraph 3
ofthe Affidavit ofChet A.
Bidessi.
-
Ms. Liu:
Also, on page four ofthe petition, it states that Cromwell started CI packaging
operations in 2001.
The building has been around since 1965, and we were wondering if that
same Alsip facility was being used for manufacturing CI products prior to Cromwell taking over
operations?
And if so,
is Cromwell or the Agency aware ofany information ofthe compliance
status of the facility if it was doing that kind of operation before 2001?
Transcript, p.
17.
Response:
The exact use ofthe building before 2001
is unknown.
To the best
knowledge ofCromwell representatives, however, the building was not used to manufacture CI
packaging products before 2001.
~
Paragraph 3
ofthe Affidavit ofChet A.
Bidessi.
Ms. Liu:
Inthe petition on page six,
it states that Cromwell had performed gravimetric
tests to determine the weight loss in emissions
from CI packaging production-processes.
It was
stated that the gravimetric demonstrated the overall VOM emissions
are less thanfive percent of
2
CIII
10566745.1

the weight ofthe CI solution applied,
could you possibly provide the gravimetric test data,
including the results, that demonstrates that five percent?
Transcript,
p.
17.
Response:
As stated by Mr. Boyd at the hearing, the gravimetric test data demonstrating
overall VOM emissions was provided to the IEPA in a Clean Air Act Permit Program
(“CAAPP”) permit application.
The information is contained in Exhibit 220-5A and Exhibit 220-
6 ofthe CAAPP Application.
The information shows that the overall VOM emissions are less
than five percent ofthe weight of the CI solution applied, ranging from a low of0.43
to a high
of 2.93.
~
Paragraph
12 ofthe Affidavit ofMark A. Home, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
Ms.
Liu:
Could you also,
along those lines, provide some information on the amount of
different types of CI
coatings used on an annual basis along with their VOM content?
Ifthere
are
some trade secrets involved,
perhaps just the gallons per year along with associated
VOM
content.
Transcript, p.
18.
Response:
The CAAPP application also contained information on the CI coatings used
and the VOM content ofthe coatings.
The information on coating use is
contained in Exhibit
220-5A ofthe CAAPP Application.
The information providedwas based on actual coating use
information for 2001.
$~
Paragraph
10 ofthe Affidavit of Mark A. Home.
The information on
the VOM content ofthe coatings is contained in Exhibit 220-2 ofthe CAAPP Application.
~
Paragraph 7 ofthe Affidavit ofMark A. Home,
Ms. Liu:
In Cromwell’s motion for an expedited review, the Petitioner indicates that
there’s going to be a proposed merger with this other company and that that will result in an
increase in production ofCI packaging,
and the motion states the facility will still be a minor
source.
Given Cromwell’s earlier pre-merger estimates offive to six tons ofVOM per year from
the CI process, could you please provide an estimate ofthe anticipated increase?
Transcript, pp.
18-19.
Response:
An exact estimate ofthe amount ofVOM emissions post-merger is not
possible at the presenttime due to uncertainties with respect to the merger.
The Alsip Facility,
however,
plans to continue to be a minor (less than 25
tpy) source ofVOM emissions.
~
Paragraph
11 ofthe Affidavit ofChet A. Bidessi.

CH1
10566745.1

Ms. Liu:
On page two,
Cromwell
notes that, “Because it prints on the majority ofits
products before applying the corrosion inhibiting solutions,
it’s printing/coating operations are
regulated by 35 Illinois Administrative Code, Subpart H, 218.401.”
Inthe section from which
Cromwell seeks the adjusted standard, which is 218.204(c), there is a note that says that the
paper coating VOM limit does not apply to sources regulated under 218.401, so I was wondering
ifyou could clarify whether the requested relief from the adjusted standard pertains only to the
CI packaging materials that you don’t print on, or if you meant it to apply to all ofyour CI
packaging materials whether you printed on them or not?
Transcript, pp.
19-20.
Response:
The requested relief pertains to the CI coating material application, notthe
printing done prior to the
CI coating.
The printing operation is governed by 35
III. Admin. Code.
§
218.401.
The CI coating operation, however,
is not subject to 35
III. Admin.
Code
§
218.401,
but the coating requirements of35 Ill.
Admin. Code
§
2 18.204.
The Petition for Adjusted
Standard only
seeks relief from the requirements of35 Ill.
Admin. Code
§
218.204, not the
requirements of35 Ill. Admin.
Code
§
218.401.
Ms. Liu:
I was wondering if you could also explain the rationale for limiting the VOM
content ofthe CI coatings to 8.3
pounds per gallon in your adjusted standard wording?
Transcript, p. 22.
Response:
The CI compound with thehighest VOM content that Cromwell-Phoenix
currently uses contains 8.28 lbs ofVOMJgaI (less water).
The 8.3
lbs/gal limit was chosen in
order to allow the Facility to continue to use this coating.
Different types ofmetals require CI
packaging products with different coating formulations.
The limit of 8.3 lbs/gal rather than 8.28
lbs/gal was chosen because the standard at 35
Ill.
Admin.
Code
§
2 18.204 is based on one
decimal place, not two:
$,~
Paragraph 8 ofthe Affidavit ofMark A. Home.
Ms. Liu:
In the proposed language forthe adjusted standard, it would
require that
Cromwell report all annual emissions to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, could you
please clarify whether this requirement pertains to all
emissions of VOM at the facility or all air
emissions in general?
It might be something that you might want to insert in the wording so that
you’re only gearing this adjusted standard to the VOM emissions rather than other emissions that
your client might have that might be regulated.
Transcript,
p. 22.
Response:
The regulations at 35
Ill. Admin.
Code Part 254 require permitted facilities
that emit air contaminants to submit annual emissions reports to the EPA.
Because Cromwell’s
4
Clii
10566745.1

Alsip facility is a minor source ofemissions,
the annual reporting requirements of
35 Ill. Admin.
Code Part 254, Subpart. C apply.
The proposed language forthe Adjusted Standard was intended
only to require the annual emissions reporting that is already required ofthe Alsip facility
pursuant to
35 Ill. Admin.
Code Part 254, Subpart
C.
Ms.
Liu:
On page
14 ofthe petition, Cromwell states that if the requested relief is not
granted, it will have to
control 15.21
tons ofVOM per year.
I was wondering if you could
explain how the potential VOM reduction of 15.21 tons per year was calculated?
Transcript,
pp.
24-25.
Response:
The potential to emit VOM from the
CI manufacturing process at the Alsip
facility is
16.4 tpy, the potential to emit VOM from the flexographic printing inks
is 0.2 tpy, and
the potential to emit VOM from the Mixing Tanks is 0.3 tpy, for a total of 16.9 tpy.
Page 8 of
the RACT Analysis that was attached to the Petition and
accepted at the hearing as Petitioner’s
Exhibit
1
explains that the economic cost analyses were based on 90
control ofthe potential
VOM emissions for the
CI Coating operations, the flexographic printing inks and the mixing
tanks that were reflected on Exhibit 200-1 ofthe CAAPP
application.
The 15.21
tons reflects
potential controlled VOM emissions, and was determined by taking 90
of 16.9 tons.
~
Paragraph 6 ofthe Affidavit ofMark A. Home.
Ms. Liu:
Also on that page
14, Cromwell states that its operation is a “relatively small
contribution to the local air shed when compared to the hundreds ofthousands oftons ofVOM
emitted each year in the Chicagoland non-attainment area.”
Could you please calculate the
impact ofthose VOM emissions from the Alsip facility in terms ofthe overall emissions from
the Chicago non-attainment area if the Board were to
grantthe relief?
Transcript, pp.
25-26.
Response:
Following the hearing in this matter, in order to respond to this question,
Mark A. Home reviewed the
1999
Illinois Periodic Emissions Inventory for the Chicago ozone
non-attainment area (Chicago NAA) that was published in December 2001.
Based on this
inventory, point source VOM emissions in the Chicago NAA were
112.09 tons/day (TPD), area
source VOM emissions were
185.60 TPD, on-road mobile VOM emissions were 241.77 TPD,
-
5
Ciii
10566745.1

off-road mobile VOM emissions were
133.44 TPD,
and VOM emissions from biogenic sources
were 292.43
TPD.
This equates to total annual VOM emissions in the Chicago area of
352,345.45 tons, ofwhich 245,608.5 tons were emitted by anthropogenic sources.
When this
number is compared to the
5
to 6 tpy ofactual VOM emissions or the
16.4 tpy potential VOM
emissions from the
CI Coating Operations at the Alsip Facility, it is
clear that the VOM
emissions from Cromwell’s CI Coating Operations are appropriately described as relatively
small.
In addition, it should be notedthat the Board’s rules for Other Emission Units
in the
Chicago NAA that are not regulated by other VOM control requirements (35
III. Admin.
Code
Part 218, subpart TT) do not apply to sources with the potential to emit less than 25 tpy ofVOM.

AFFIDAVIT OF CHET A. BIDESSI
I, Chet A. Bidessi, being first duly sworn under oath, depose and state as follows:
1.
I am currently employed as the Laboratory Director for Cromwell-Phoenix, Inc.
(“Cromwell”).
I have worked in that capacity for approximately 4
years.
2.
My training is as a Chemical Engineer.
I received an MSc in Chemical Engineering from
Lvov Polytechnic in the Ukraine in
1984, and an MASc in Chemical Engineering from the
University ofToronto in 1991.
-
3.
Cromwell
is located at 1270! South Ridgeway in Alsip, Illinois.
Cromwell began
production ofcorrosion inhibiting (“CI”) packaging materials at this facility in early 2001.
Neither I nor to my knowledge any other Cromwell representatives knowthe exact use of the
building before 2001.
To the best ofmy knowledge, however, the building was not usedto
manufacture CI packaging products before 2001.
4.
CI products contain a high amount ofhigh molecular weight volatile organic materials
(VOMs), such as propylene glycol, that act as both a corrosion inhibiting agent and a carrier for
-
other CI compounds.
These VOMs remain in the coated paper productand give certain
properties to the finishedproduct, such as a natural kraft paper look and feel.
5.
As part of my duties as Laboratory Director, I was responsible for conducting tests to
determine whether Cromwell could reduce the amount of VOM in Cromwell’s CI coating
formulations.
The tests were conducted
from December, 2001
through June, 2002.
6.
To reduce the amount ofVOM in
Cromwell’s formulations, three approaches were
considered.
First, we reduced the amount of VOM, which in turn meant increasing the amount
ofwater to compensate for the solids dissolution.
Second, we increased the amount ofsolids
in
the formulations by increasing the amount ofcurrent solids and/or adding new solid chemicals.
Finally, we replaced the current VOM carrier with higher molecular weightmaterials.
As
described below, each approach was unsuccessful in that the reformulated coatings either made
product quality unacceptable or would result in increased VOM emissions.
CH1
10569864.1

7.
We found several problems with the first approach.
First, increasing the water caused the
coated paperto become wrinkled.
Second, the reformulated solutiontook a longer period of
time to dry, meaning that these formulations would require drying by heat.
Such drying would
result in increased VOM emissions.
Finally, the reformulated solutions
were oily, and the coated
products had a very different appearance and feel than our current products.
8.
We found several problems with increasing the amount of solids in the CI coatings as
well.
One problem was that the chemicals did not stay in the paper substrate after the paper was
coated.
Instead, a white powder bloomed to the surface of the coated paper.
In addition, some
chemicals were precipitated out ofsolution by the addition ofthe other chemicals during the
mixing stage.
Some solutions turned into a suspension and could not be used for coating the
paper.
9.
Finally, we also were not successful in replacing the existing VOM carrier with other
materials.
The paper coated with those formulations had an oily look and a stiffer feel.
The
solutions were difficultto mix, and more heat was needed for mixing.
In addition, some
chemicals did not dissolve completely.
Finally, the coating weights were high and the coated
products were difficult to dry.
10.
Based on my knowledge ofthe CI packaging material industry, I believe that other
companies operate facilities that manufacture CI packaging materials in Indiana, Wisconsin and
Canada.
Neither I nor to my knowledge any other Cromwell representatives, however, have
researched
what VOM emission control requirements, if any, apply to those CI packaging
material production facilities, and are not aware if or howthose other facilities comply with any
applicable VOM limitations.
11.
Cromwell has entered into merger negotiations with another company.
Ifthe merger
occurs, an increase in production ofCI packaging materials and increased actual VOM emissions
may occur.
An exact estimate ofthe amount ofVOM emissions post-merger is not possible at
the present time due to uncertainties with respect to the merger.
The Alsip Facility, however, is
not currently a major source ofVOM emissions
(i.e.,
potential emissions greater than 25 tpy)
and
has no plans to become a major source of VOM emissions
after the merger.
Subscribed and Sworn to before me

AFFIDAVIT
OF
MARK A. HORNE
I, Mark A. Home, being first duly sworn under oath, depose and state as follows:
1.
I
am a Registered Professional Engineer (State of Indiana) working with ERM, Inc. ‘s
office in Holland, Michigan.
I have been employed by ERM since 1998.
2.
I have more than 20 years ofexperience in environmental compliance, including
preparing permit applications for major new source review projects; performing Top-Down
BACT analyses for printing, specialty chemical
products packaging, and recreational vehicle
industries in various states;
completing Title V permit applications for many major sources
throughout the Midwest; preparing model Title V and PSD permits for guidance to state
permitting
agencies; participating in regulation development;
presenting oral and written
testimony at regulatory hearings; performing multi-media environmental compliance audits for
numerous
manufacturing facilities throughout the Midwest, including inspections ofTSDFs used
by the facilities; and preparing and implementing compliance test plans to determine
conformance with permit limitations and synthetic minor status.
A true
and correct copy of my
resume is attached as Attachment A.
3.
I have worked with Cromwell-Phoenix,
Inc. since 2001.
Based on information provided
by the client, I prepared the March 29, 2002 Clean Air Act Permit Program (“CAAPP”) permit
application and the May 2003 Reasonably Available Control Technology
(RACT) Analysis that
was included as Exhibit A to the Petition for Adjusted Standard filed with the Board on May 29,
2003.
4.
The March 29, 2002
CAAPP application included a summary ofsource wide potential
and actual VOM emissions.
The information was contained
in Exhibit 200-1
ofthe CAAPP
Application.
A true and correct copy ofExhibit 200-1
is attached to this Affidavit as Attachment
B.
5.
Exhibit 200-1 shows that the potential VOM emissions from the Alsip Facility’s
CI
Coating Operations are
16.4 tpy.
Exhibit 200-1
also shows that the potential VOM emissions
from the Alsip Facility’s Flexographic Printing Inks are 0.2 tpy
and that the potential VOM
emissions from the Alsip Facility’s two Mixing Tanks are 0.3 tpy.
6.
The RACT
Analysis (that was attached to the Petition and
accepted at the hearing as
Petitioner’s Exhibit
1) explains that the economic cost analyses were based on 90
control of
CH1
10569484.1

the potential VOM emissions for the CI Coating Operations, the Flexographic Printing Inks and
the Mixing Tanks that were reflected on Exhibit 200-1 of the CAAPP application.
The sum of
these threepotential VOM emission sources (16.4
+
0.2
+
0.3) equals
16.9 tpy of potential VOM
emissions.
The
15.21
tons referenced in the RACT
Analysis was determined by taking 90
of
16.9 tons.
7.
The March 29, 2002 CAAPP
application also included information on the as-applied
VOM content ofthe CI coatings used at the Alsip Facility.
The information was contained in
Exhibit 220-2 ofthe CAAPP Application.
Exhibit 220-2 also included information on the
ingredients of each CI coating formulation and the specific quantities ofeach, ingredient in the
formulation.
A true and correct copy ofExhibit 220-2 (with the information on the ingredients
ofeach CI coating formulation and the specific
quantities ofeach ingredient in the formulation
deleted) is attached to this
Affidavit as Attachment C.
8.
Exhibit 220-2 shows that the CI coating with the highest as applied
VOM content (less
water) is the Formulae W&F at 8.28
lbs/gal.
The 8.3
lbs/gal limit requested in
the Adjusted
Standard Petition was based on the Facility’s need to continue to use the Formulae W&F coating
for some CI packaging products.
The limit of8.3
lbs/gal rather than 8.28 lbs/gal was chosen
because the standard at 35 Ill.
Admin. Code
§
2 18.204
is based on one
decimal place,
not two.
Exhibit 220-2 shows that the as-applied CI coatings at the Alsip
Facility range from a high of
8.28 lbs/gal VOM to a low of 3.59 lbs/gal VOM.
9.
The March 29, 2002 CAAPP application also shows the amount ofdifferent types ofCI
coatings used on an annual basis along with their VOM content.
The information was contained
in Exhibit 220-5A ofthe CAAPP
Application.
A true and correct copy ofExhibit 220-5A is
attached to this Affidavit as Attachment D.
10.
Exhibit 220-5A was used to
determine the potential VOM emissions from the CI Coating
Operations at the Alsip Facility.
The emissions information was based on the
total weight of
coatings applied during 2001
multiplied by
an emission factor determined for the coatings.
The
potential VOM emissions were determined based
on the worst case emission factor and based on
operations for 8760 hours per year.
Exhibit 220-5A shows that the potential VOM emissions
from the
CI Coating Operations at the Alsip Facility are
16.4 tpy.
11.
I also assisted in the planning and
coordination ofgravimetric tests performed by
Cromwell personnel to determine the weight loss in
emissions from CI packaging production
processes.
The gravimetric weight loss test protocol and gravimetric weight loss data was
provided to the IEPA as part ofthe March 29, 2002
CAAPP permit application,
and was
identified as Exhibit 220-6 of the CAAPP Application.
A true and correct copy ofExhibit 220-6
is attached to this Affidavit as Attachment E.
12.
Support forthe statement in Cromwell’s Petition for Adjusted Standard that the overall
VOM emissions
from Cromwell’s CI packaging production process at the Alsip facility are less
than five percent ofthe weight ofthe CI solution applied is found in Exhibit 220-5A and Exhibit
220-6.
Exhibit 220-5A shows that the VOM emissions factor for the coating formulations
ranged from
a low of 0.43
lbs VOM emitted/100 lbs coating applied to a high of2.93
lbs VOM
emitted/100 lbs coating
applied.
These
numbers equate to percentages of0.43
to 2.93, which are
2
Ciii
10569484.1

emitted/l00 lbs coating applied.
These numbers equate to percentages of0.43 to 2.93, which are
lower than the
5
indicated in thePetition.
Themanner in which the emissions factors were
determined is described in Exhibit 220-6.
13.
Following the hearing in this matter, in order to respond to a question raised by Ms. Alisa
Liu at the hearing, I reviewed the 1999 Illinois Periodic Emissions Inventory for the Chicago
ozone non-attainment area (Chicago NAA) that was published in December 2001.
Based on this
inventory, point source VOM emissions in the Chicago NAAwere
112.09 tons/day (TPD), area
source VOM emissions were
185.60 TPD, on-road mobile VOM emissions were 241.77
TPD,
off-road mobile VOM emissions were 133.44 TPD, and VOM emissions from biogenic sources
were 292.43 TPD.
This equates to total annual VOM emissions in the Chicago area of
352,345.45 tons, ofwhich
245,608.5
tons were emitted by anthropogenic sources.
When this
number is compared to the
5
to 6 tpy ofactual VOM emissions or the
16.4 tpy potential VOM
emissions from the CI Coating Operations at the Alsip Facility, it is clear that the VOM
emissions from Cromwell’s CI Coating Operations are appropriatelydescribed as relatively
small.
In addition, it should be noted that the Board’s rules for Other Emission Units in the
Chicago NAA that are not regulated by other VOM control requirements
(35
III. Admin. Code
Part 218, subpart TT) do not apply to sources with the potential to emit less than 25 tpy ofVOM.

TEST PROTOCOL FOR DETERMINING EMISSIONS
1.
Gravimetric Weight Loss Determinations for Coating Lines
-Weigh the master roll of kraft paper which will
be impregnated with the
corrosion inhibiting (Cl) solution. Record this weight as Roll Weight before Cl
treating.
-Weigh the paper core(s) on the wind-up shaft.
Record this weight; to be
subtracted from the finished
roll(s).
-
Set up the web using the master kraft paper roll.
Any
scrap from this step is
kept and weighed as Scrap before CI treating.
Record this weight; to be
subtracted from the Weight of master roll.
-Weigh the container of corrosion inhibiting
solution. Fill the clean and dry
coating pan to the required mark, for the gravure and applicator rollers. Record
this weight as Solution before treating.
-Start process and impregnate the kraft paper with the corrosion inhibiting (Cl)
solution. Most times a master kraft paper roll will give two rolls of Cl treated
paper. All cores
used are weighed. Any scrap generated during this process
is
weighed; this scrap weight is added to the weight of the Cl finished
roll(s). All Cl
solution
used is weighed and these weights comprise the Weight of Cl solution
before treating.
-At end of the run, weigh the finished impregnated
CI treated roll(s). Record this
weight as Roll Weight after Cl treating, this is the “as produced roll weight”. Any
scrap after the impregnating process is added to this weight
-At the end of the run, weigh the remaining uncoated master kraft paper roll; if all
the paper was used
up, weigh the core.
Record this weight, to be subtracted
from the Weight of the master kraft
roll before Cl treating.
-At the end of the run, empty all remaining Cl solution from the pan into the
original Cl solution container and weigh.
Record this weight as Cl Solution after
treating.

The above emissions calculation is then further refined by accounting for residual
weight loss that occurs during the storage and the finishing operations, as described
below in Steps 2,
3, 4 and 5.
VOM Emissions
The final gravimetric loss is multiplied by the
weightVOM that is in the liquid fraction
ofthe as-applied Cl solution. This is a worst case determination that assumes that the
evaporation of VOM is proportional to its composition in the solution. In fact, the water
fraction will preferentially volatilize due to its higher vapor pressure.

TEST PROTOCOL FOR DETERMINING EMISSIONS
2. Weight Loss of Cl Treated master rolls with Time
-After the Cl treated master rolls are produced at the coating lines, the weight of
these rolls are recorded and dated. This weight is the as-produced roll weight.
Every week these rolls are weighed and the new weights and corresponding
dates are recorded. If rolls will be used in a short time period (i.e. less than a
one week increment), then the roll weight is
taken before the roll is used.
The Weight Loss observed during the storage period is deducted from the “Weight of
Cl Solution remaining in the treated paper” in Step 1.
3. Weight Loss at Rewinding Stations:
At this station, the as produced master rolls are rewound into smaller length rolls and in
some cases,
smaller widths as well.
-After the Cl treated master rolls are produced at the coating lines,
the weight of
these rolls are recorded and dated. This weight is the as produced roll weight.
-All cores to be used on the rewind shaft are weighed and recorded as core
weight after rewind.
-Set up Web of the treated paper. Any scrap during this step is recorded and is
subtracted from the weight of the as produced roll.
-Start rewind process. Any scrap/trimmings from this step are recorded and
added to the weight of the finished smaller rolls.
-At the end of the rewinding process, weigh all
smaller rolls made.
Weight Loss Calculations for the Rewinding Station:
Weight Loss during Rewinding
=
((As
produced master roll)
-
(Scrap weight
+
Core
weight
))
-
((Smaller roll weight)
-
(Scrap/trimmings weight
+
core(s) weight after

The Weight Loss observed during the rewind process is deducted from the “Weight of
Cl Solution remaining in the treated paper” in Step 1.

4. Weight Loss for the Sheeting
Process
This is the process whereby the
CI treated Master rolls from the coating lines are cut
into large size sheets.
-After the
CI treated master rolls are produced at the coating lines, the weight of
these rolls are recorded
and
dated. This weight is the as produced roll weight
-Set up Web of the treated paper. Any scrap during this step is recorded and
subtracted from the weight of the as produced roll.
-Weigh the pallet onto which the cut sheets will be stacked.
-Begin sheeting process. Stack sheets onto weighed pallet. Any scrap during
this process is weighed and recorded as Scrap during sheeting. This Scrap
weight is added to the weight of cut sheets.
-Atthe end ofthe sheeting process, weigh stack of cut sheets on pallet. Subtract
pallet weight to get weight of cut sheets.
Weight Loss Calculations for the Sheeting Process:
Weight Loss during Sheeting
=
(As
produced roll weight
-
Scrap from set-up)
-
(Weight
of cut sheets
+
Weight of Scrap during sheeting process)
The Weight Loss observed during the sheeting process is deducled from the “Weight
of Cl
Solution remaining in the treated paper” in Step 1.

5. Weight Loss for the Guillotine Cutting Process
This is the process in which the large cut sheets from the Sheeting process are
trimmed into precise smaller sheets.
-Weight of large cut sheets from the Sheeting process is recorded.
-Sheets are trimmed to precise size. All trimmings are kept and weighed as
scrap trimming.
-Weigh the precise cut sheets.
Calculations for the Guillotine Cutting Process:
Weight Loss during the Guillotine Cutting Process
=
(Weight of large cut sheets)
-
(Weight of precise cut sheets
+
Weight of scrap trimmings)
)
The Weight Loss observed during the Guillotine cutting process
is deducted from the
“Weight of Cl Solution remaining in the treated paper” in Step 1.
NOTE:
1. All weights forthe paper rolls, cut sheets and containers of Corrosion
Inhibiting solutions were done on a Rice Lake Weighing Systems scale, model
number: 4x4HP-5K~
with an electronic read out, CAS model Cl-2001A This
scale has a capacity of 1000 and accuracy of
±
1
lb.
All weights for the cores and scrap papers were done on an Ohaus scale, model
number l5S. This scale has a capacity of 100 and accuracy of
±
0.01
lb.
Both scales are calibrated quarterly each year by the Abacus Scale Company of
Chicago,
IL. The most recent calibration was performed on Jan.10, 2002.
2.
These initial determinations were processed in a step wise fashion. The
results obtained are valid for the specific operational step. Currently, we are
measuring emissions in a progressive manner to follow through from the initial
step of printing coating to the final step of either precise cutting or rewinding.
Results of this effort will be reported at a later date.
