The owner or operator of a synthesized pharmaceutical manufacturing facility subject to 35.0 of this regulation shall control the VOC emissions from all vents from reactors, distillation operations, crystallizers, centrifuges, and vacuum dryers at the facility that emit 6.8 kilograms per day (kg/day) (15 pounds per day [lb/day]) or more of VOC as determined by the procedure in "Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products," Appendix B, EPA-450/2-78-029, December 1978. Surface condensers or equivalent controls shall be used, provided that: If surface condensers are used, the condenser outlet gas temperature shall not exceed the allowable temperature limit described for each associated vapor pressure in the following table:
Allowable condenser outlet gas temperature, °C (°F)----VOC vapor pressure at 20°C kPa (psi):
-25 (-13)---->40.01(5.8);-15 (5)---- >20.0(2.9); 0 (32)---->10.0(1.5); 10 (50)---- >7.0(1.0); 25 (77)---- >3.5(0.5) ---- Total facility wide toluene emissions shall not exceed 8.7 pounds per hour and 2.2 tons per twelve month rolling period ---- The outlet gas temperature of the condensers on reactors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 11 shall not exceed the following when the differential pressure across the corresponding conservation vents exceed 18 inches water column: 77°F when condensing VOCs of vapor pressure greater than 0.5 psi at 68°F |
