Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-296.515 - Graphic Arts Systems
(1)
Applicability. The control technology and provisions set forth in subsection
62-296.515(2),
F.A.C., shall apply to all packaging rotogravure, publication rotogravure, or
flexographic printing operations whose prior to control potential to emit
volatile organic compounds is equal to or more than 100 tons per year (90
megagrams per year).
(2) Control
Technology.
(a) No owner or operator of a
packaging rotogravure, publication rotogravure, or flexographic printing
operation subject to Rule
62-296.515, F.A.C., and
employing solvent containing ink shall cause, allow or permit the operation of
the facility unless:
1. The volatile fraction
of ink as it is applied to the substrate, contains 25 percent by volume or less
of organic solvent and 75 percent by volume or more of water, or
2. The ink as it is applied to the substrate,
less water, contains 60 percent by volume or more nonvolatile material,
or
3. An incineration system is
employed which oxidizes at least 90 percent of the volatile organic compounds
(VOC measured as total combustible carbon) to carbon dioxide and
water.
(3) Test
Methods and Procedures. All emissions tests performed pursuant to the
requirements of this rule shall comply with the following requirements.
(a) Low Solvent Technology. The test method
for volatile organic compounds shall be EPA Method 24 or 24A, as described at
40 C.F.R. Part 60, Appendix A-7, adopted and incorporated by reference at Rule
62-204.800, F.A.C., or EPA
450/3-84-019, Procedures for Certifying Quantity of Volatile Organic Compounds
Emitted by Paint, Ink, and Other Coatings (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-04298),
hereby adopted and incorporated by reference.
(b) Add-on Control Device.
1. Destructive. The test method for volatile
organic compounds shall be EPA Method 25, as described at 40 C.F.R. Part 60,
Appendix A-7, adopted and incorporated by reference at Rule
62-204.800, F.A.C., or
Attachment 3 of EPA 450/2-78-041, Alternate Test Method for Direct Measurement
of Total Gaseous Organic Compounds Using a Flame Ionization Analyzer, adopted
with equipment specifications per Industrial Ventilation Manual, and
incorporated by reference in Chapter 62-297, F.A.C.
2. Non-destructive. The test method for
volatile organic compounds shall be VOC Capture Efficiency Test Procedures as
described at Rule 62-297.450, F.A.C. The sampling
time for each capture efficiency test run shall be at least 8 hours, unless
otherwise approved by the Department pursuant to Rule
62-297.620,
F.A.C.
(c) Test
procedures shall meet all applicable requirements of Chapter 62-297,
F.A.C.
