NR 422.141 NR 422.141 Flexible package printing.

NR 422.141(1) (1) Applicability.

NR 422.141(1)(a) (a) Subsection (3) applies to the owner or operator of a flexible packaging press located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha if VOC emissions from all flexible packaging printing presses and related flexible packaging cleaning activities at the facility, before consideration of controls, equal or exceed 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis. When determining the VOC emissions for applicability under this paragraph, the VOC emissions from the cleaning of electronic components of a flexible packaging press, pre-press and post-press cleaning operations and the use of janitorial supplies used to clean around a flexible packaging press are excluded. In addition, the VOC emissions from solvents used in cold cleaners are excluded for applicability purposes.

NR 422.141(1)(b) (b) Subsection (2) applies to the owner or operator of a facility located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha that operates a flexible packaging press that has maximum theoretical emissions of VOC equal to or greater than 25 tons per year from inks, coatings and adhesives combined, from the press dryer. For a flexible packaging press subject to sub. (2) and also to s. NR 422.14 (2), compliance with sub. (2) shall satisfy compliance with s. NR 422.14 (2).

NR 422.141(2) (2) Emission limitations. On and after May 1, 2010, no owner or operator of a flexible packaging press subject to this subsection may operate, or cause, allow or permit the operation of the press unless the owner or operator does one of the following:

NR 422.141(2)(a) (a) Installs and operates a vapor recovery system, incinerator or catalytic oxidation system to control VOC emissions. The overall VOC emission reduction efficiency of any capture system and control device, as measured across the entire control system, shall be at least:

NR 422.141(2)(a)1. 1. 65% by weight for a flexible packaging press that was first installed prior to March 14, 1995 and that is controlled by a control device that was installed prior to August 1, 2009. VOC emissions from an incinerator or catalytic oxidation system shall be measured as carbon.

NR 422.141(2)(a)2. 2. 70% by weight for a flexible packaging press that was first installed prior to March 14, 1995 and that is controlled by a control device that was first installed on or after August 1, 2009. VOC emissions from either an incinerator or catalytic oxidation system shall be measured as carbon.

NR 422.141(2)(a)3. 3. 75% by weight for a flexible packaging press that was first installed on or after March 14, 1995 and that is controlled by a control device that was first installed prior to August 1, 2009. VOC emissions from an incinerator or catalytic oxidation system shall be measured as carbon.

NR 422.141(2)(a)4. 4. 80% by weight of VOCs for a flexible packaging press that was first installed on or after March 14, 1995 and that is controlled by a control device that was first installed on or after August 1, 2009. VOC emissions from an incinerator or catalytic oxidation system shall be measured as carbon.

NR 422.141 Note Note: With regard to use of the phrase “first installed” in this paragraph, the first installation date for a piece of equipment does not change if the equipment is later moved to a new location. For example, if a brand new press first installed in 1992 is moved to a new location in 1998, the first installation date is still 1992.

NR 422.141(2)(b) (b) Uses inks, coatings and adhesives that do not exceed one of the following VOC content limits:

NR 422.141(2)(b)1. 1. 0.8 kg VOC/kg solids (0.8 lb VOC /lb solids) applied.

NR 422.141(2)(b)2. 2. 0.16 kg VOC/kg material (0.16 lb VOC/lb material) applied.

NR 422.141(3) (3) Work practices. On and after November 1, 2009, the owner or operator of a flexible packaging press subject to this subsection shall store all solvents, solvent solutions, and any applicator moistened with solvents or solvent solutions that are used in cleaning operations related to flexible packaging printing in covered non-absorbent, non-leaking containers, except when filling or emptying the container and shall convey VOC-containing cleaning material in closed containers or pipes.

NR 422.142 NR 422.142 Lithographic printing — part 1.

NR 422.142(1) (1) Applicability.

NR 422.142(1)(a) (a) This section applies to all lithographic printing presses at any facility that is located in Kewaunee or Manitowoc county, was constructed before July 1, 2019, and has maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs from all lithographic printing presses at the facility greater than or equal to 755.7 kilograms (1666 pounds) in any month.

NR 422.142(1)(b) (b) To determine VOC emissions under par. (a), the VOC content of a lithographic ink shall be multiplied by 0.8 for a heatset ink, or multiplied by 0.05 for a non-heatset ink, to account for VOC retention on the substrate.

NR 422.142(1m) (1m) Retention factors and capture efficiencies. For purposes of determining VOC emissions from offset lithographic printing operations, the following retention factors and capture efficiencies may be used:

NR 422.142(1m)(a) (a) A 20% VOC retention factor for heatset inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process and is available for capture and control by an add-on pollution control device.

NR 422.142(1m)(b) (b) A 95% VOC retention factor for sheet-fed and non-heatset web inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process.
