Summary of Group II Control Technique Guideline Documents for Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources

摘要

Control Technique Guideline (CTG) documents have been prepared by the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards of the U.S. EPA to assist states in defining reasonably available control technology (RACT) for the control of volatile organic compound emissions from existing stationary sources. A document (PB-294 975) summarizing the CTG documents issued prior to January 1978 (Group I) was published in December 1978. This document (PB80-192743) summarizes the CTG documents issued between January 1978 and January 1979 (Group II). A description of each source category is provided, along with RACT and costs to retrofit a model facility. The source categories included are: leaks from petroleum refinery equipment, surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products, manufacture of vegetable oil, surface coating of flat wood paneling, synthesized pharmaceutical products manufacturing, pneumatic rubber tire manufacturing, graphic arts (rotogravure and flexography), external floating roof tanks, perchloroethylene dry cleaning, and leaks from gasoline tank trucks and vapor collection systems.
