General Information: The purpose of this site visit was to conduct a routine compliance assurance visit.
This facility provides coating and post-coating treatments using thermal spray technology for land-based
gas turbines and aircraft engines. The facility currently operates three shifts per day, Monday through
Friday. Depending on product demand, one or two shifts may operate on the weekend. The facility
currently employs 94 workers. Matthew Hill and I arrived at the facility on August 29, 2019 at
approximately 10:45 AM and met with Mr. Warren Smathers, EHS manager. Mr. Smathers accompanied
us during this inspection and provided the requested documentation.
Source Observations:
The facility currently operates 11 powder coating booths. Raw materials (powders or pellets)are made
into a slurry which are then robotically sprayed on an object inside an enclosed container/spraybooth.
Each booth is controlled with a cartridge filter. The facility also maintains (1) one 20% by volume HCl
tank(approximately 100 gallons)that is controlled by a wet scrubber. This tank, as well as the three
associated rinse tanks, are not part of the production process. They are used by the test laboratory to strip
parts that have been coated by a programing error.
Exemption Oualification: A permit applicability determination was conducted by this office on April 12,
2012, April 17, 2013, and December 7, 2017. All determination reviews indicated that a permit was not
required by this facility. Facility records indicated that production has not increased since the most recent
permit determination conducted by this office.
