PROPOSED RULE
FIRST NOTICE
OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B~Forcade):
This matter comes before the Board on a March 11, 1986,
regulatory proposal by the Illinois Envirorunental Protection
Agency (Agency) for the control of organic material emissions
from polystyrene plants~ Hearings were held on October 15, 1986,
in Chicago and on October 16, 1986, in Joliet1, Comments were
received through January 23, 1987k. On January 16, 1987, the
Department of Energy and Natural Resources (DENR) filed a letter
of negative declaration of economic impact, obviating the need
for further economic study of the proposed rules,. The Economic
and Technical Advisory Committee of the DENR filed a concurrence
on January 22, l987~ The Agency filed an amended proposal on
April 6, 1987, which entailed non—substantive codification
changes
This is one of a series of Board actions directed at
promulgating rules implementing Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT) for the control of ozone precursors from
existing major stationary sources (emissions greater than 100
tons/year)~ The implementation of RACT in non—attainment areas
for ozone is required as a part of a federally approvable State
Implementation Plan (SIP) under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA)
(42 U~S~C.7401 et seq~)b Section 172 of the CAA requires that
RACT be implemented at existing major stationary sources in the
non—attainment areas of those states needing an extension from
the 1982 deadline until 1987 to achieve the air quality standards
for ozone,. Illinois is such a state, having requested the
extension in its 1979 and 1982 SIP,.
The definition of RACT is contained in 40 CFR 51, along with
the requirements for a federally acceptable SIP~ However, the
specific parameter of what constitutes reasonablly available
controls and, therefore, the parameters which the states must
adopt to ensure that RACT is implemented, are not,. Instead, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) publishes a
series of documents entitled “Control Technique Guideline
(CTGs~ Each of the CTGs, which are summaries of industries
78-327
—2—
specific case studies, contains the means and the degree of
control which the USEPA requires the states to adopt
categorically as part of its SIP in order to have an acceptable
SIP,. Failure
to adopt rules
identical to those presented in the
CTGs, or other ones demonstrated by the
individual state
as
comparable, can mean that the state will have an inadequate SIP,
which in turn, can trigger the sanction provision in CAA found at
Section 110, 113 and 176 (42 USC 7410, 7413, 7506),. While the
mandate for sanctions is contained in the CAA, the mandate to
adopt the CTGs or otherwise demonstrate a state rule to be
comparable is not,. It is not even contain in the federal
regulations, but instead, is articulated in the “general preamble
for proposed rulemaking and approvable State Implementation Plan
revisions for non—attainment areas” (44 FR 20372),.
This federal policy statement includes yet another
requirement which is relevant to this rulemaking,. The USEPA
allows the states until the January after one year from the
finalization of a CTG to adopt either the “rule” contained
therein or comparable rule, if sources covered by that particular
CTG are within a state’s non—attainment areas,. A final CTG for
the manufacture of high—density polyethylene, polypropylene and
polystyrene resins was published in November of 1983 (Ex~3)~
The CTG defines RACT for the manufacture of high—density
polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene resin,. However, a
search was made of the Agency’s emission inventory system (Total
Air System
—
TAS) which found no manufacturers of polypropylene
or high—density polyethy1ene~ All of the Illinois plants
manufacture polystyrene. Consequently, the Agency’s proposed
amendments only cover this process, rather than the full scope of
the CTG~
The CTG used a bulk polymerization plant as a basis for its
flow diagram for polystyrene manufacture, but its model plant was
an all—liquid—phase continuous process~ On page 4—1 of the CTG,
the subparagraph number 3, contains the RACT limitation which
applies to the continuous processes~ This limitation is given as
O~l2kg of volatile organic material per 1000 kg of polystyrene
resin produced,. The CTG5 process description is for a “fully
continuous co—polymerization process for the manufacture of
pelletized polystyrene resin from styrene monomer and
polybutadiene” rubber,. The process is described as follows:
Styrene, rubber, a catalyst (in some cases),
recycle styrene, and other ingredients are
dissolved in feed dissolver tank and pumped to
a reactor, where a polymerization takes
place,. Polymer melt still contains some
unreacted styrene and by—products, so it is
pumped to a devolatilizer where these are
separated and sent to a styrene recovery
7R.~9R
—3—
unit,. Polymer melt is then pumped through an
extrusion dye where it is solidified in the
form of strands, which are pelletized and
stored,. In the styrene recovery unit, the
unreacted styrene monomer is separated by
distillation and recycled to the feed
dissolver tank,. Noncondensibles are vented
through a vacuum system~ The heavy components
from the distillation (the fractions from the
bottom of the distillation column) are often
used as a fuel supplement in boilers,.
The CTG lists four VOM sources of importance in its model
plant process,. They are:
l~ The Feed Dissolver (FD), where the
styrene monomer and the polybutadiene
rubber are dissolved and mixed,. The VOM
emissions come chiefly during filling and
washing and normally are vented to the
atmosphere;
2~ The Styrene Condenser Vent (SCV), where
unreacted styrene monomer is separated
from the polystyrene
in the vacuum de—
volatilizer,. The styrene is vented to
the atmosphere~ If a vacuum system is
used (rather than, for example, steam jet
ejectors), and a suitable condenser fol-
lows the vent, emissions are lower,. The
CTG states that this point is the largest
VOM source,.
3,. The Styrene Recovery Unit Condenser Vent
(SRUCV), where noncondensible components
are vented from the styrene recovery
unit,.
4,. The Extruder Quench Vent (EQV) is not a
large source,. Traces of styrene
vapor
are emitted as the polystyrene is being
extruded into strands,. These are usually
removed by a demister or an electrostatic
precipitator,.
Recently, USEPA has published additional RACT guidance to
clarify the sources to be covered in this category (Ex,. 4),. To
make certain that the proper sources are covered, the Agency has
added definitions to Section 21l,.l22 which describe and define
the continuous process, material recovery section, styrene
devolatilizer unit and styrene recovery unit,.
78-329

*
The geographical applicability of the proposed rules
includes eight counties designated non—attainment for ozone, as
well as two counties contiguous to the Chicago non—attainment
area,. These two counties, Will and Mcflenry, are considered part
of the Chicago urbanized air quality planning region by the
Agency and the USEPA,. Organic emission sources within this
urbanized area are believed to contribute to the Northern
Illinois—Southwest Wisconsin ozone non—attainment problem,.
The Agency conducted a review of its permit files and field
operation inspections in order to identify potentially affected
facilities,. It was determined that two presumably affected
facilities were producing polystyrene by a batch—suspension
process and thus would not be affected by the Agency’s
proposal,. Four potentially regulated facilities were identified;
three facilities are located in Will County and one facility is
in Cook County,.
Cosden Oil and Chemical (Calumet City, Cook County) uses a
conventional process as described in the CTG,. Cosden’s poly-
styrene lines have dissolving vessels without controls, styrene
vent condensers (SCV) which are attached to the vacuum system and
extruder quench vents (EQV) with hoods,. The styrene from the
styrene vent condenser is recycled through the dissolving vessel
so that there is no styrene recovery unit vent,. The finished
polystyrene is made into pellets which are flash—dried rather
than vacuum—devolatjlized,. Cosden is planning to close its
facility and cease operations in 1988 (R~58),.
Permits from the Amoco facility (Joliet, Will County)
indicate that there is a styrene condenser vent at the
devolatilizer which is controlled by a condenser and vacuum
system and a flow dissolver,. There is also a Styrene Recovery
Unit Condenser Vent in the form of a condensate recovery tower
with a condenser and vacuum systems The permits do not specify
if an Extruder Quench Vent exists,.
Dow Chemical (Joliet, Will County) has flow dissolvers in
the form of dissolver tanks, styrene vent condensers in the form
of a monomer separators, extruder quench vents in the form of
exhaust hoods on the nozzles and dies which are fed a demister
and a styrene recovery unit condenser vent that sends heavy
material to the heaters as fuel,.
Mobil Chemical (Joliet, Will County) has flow dissolvers
(FD), styrene condenser vents (SCV) with condensers and vacuum
systems, a styrene recovery unit condenser vent (SRUCV) in the
form of an oligomer stripper and extruder quench vent with
electrostatic precipitators~
All four plants are within the limitation of 0~l2kg
emissions per 1000 kg of production from the styrene condenser
78-330
—5—
vent and the styrene recovery unit condenser vent as proposed in
Section 215,.877 as specified by the CTG~ These emission data are
all based upon engineering calculations which were supplied by
letters to the Agency,. While the Agency does not anticipate the
need for testing to determine compliance, to have an enforceable
regulation a testing method must be specified,. Section 2l5,.886
specified Method 25 which is the standard volatile organic
material control equipment efficiency testing method used in
other sections of the Board’s regulations and was used as the
test method in emission data cited in the CTG (Ex,. 3, pp,. 10—14)
and is cited as one of the appropriate testing method in the
USEPA memorandum, dated September 14, 1984 (Ex. 8).
Because all four sources appear to be currently in
compliance with the proposed Section 215,.877, it is expected that
there will be no emission reductions or cost of control to comply
with the limitations,. The CTG, on page 5—25, states that
“,.,.,.current industry control is in a transitional period in which
vacuum pumps are replacing steam eductors to produce the required
vacuum
,.,.,.“,.
The plants in major urbanized areas of Illinois
have already made this transition and are thus in compliance with
the RACT standard,. This finding of no economic impact is
supported by the Department of Energy and Natural Resources’
letter of negative declaration,.
The Board will propose rules regulating organic material
emissions from polystyrene manufacturing plants for first notice,
as a final CTG for this category has been issued, sources in
urbanized non-attainment planning areas have been identified and
the rules constitute RACT,. The Agency’s proposed Section 21l,.l22
definitions are moved to Section 215.104,. This action will help
fulfill the state’s legal obligation to demonstrate that existing
major stationary emission sources in non—attainment areas are
subject to regulations representing RACT, as well as in regions
that impact non—attainment areas,.
