Automobile Assembly Plant Spray Booth Cleaning Emission Reduction Technology Review

摘要

The report provides information on the spray booth cleaning process and alternative cleaning practices that reduce or eliminate the use of organic cleaning solvents. It provides a ready reference to actions reported by eight automobile companies to reduce emissions from booth cleaning operations. It is carefully referenced to allow readers to take advantage of others' work. A summary of the cleaning practices currently being used by 15 automobile assembly plants is included, as is each plant's VOC emissions from spray booth cleaning. Additionally, a summary of the alternative cleaning practices identified for each major component of the booth is presented, and the non-VOC cleaning practices are identified. The Unit Operation System (UOS) material balance approach was used to calculate VOC emissions from cleaning spray booths.
