I. Purpose of Application
The North Carolina Division of Air Quality (DAQ) received Application No. 0900009.08A from E.I. du Pont de
Nemours & Co., LLC (DuPont) on April 8, 2008. The application is for the following permit modifications:
(1) Construct and operate Polyvinyl Fluoride (PVF) Manufacturing No. 2 (ID No. FS-C).
(2) Add an abrasive blasting building (ID No. I-10) to the insignificant activity list in Attachment II of the permit.
DuPont is adding a building to enclose shot blast operations to clean product cylinders that are less than 8 feet
in length.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0317, DuPont will accept a PSD avoidance condition to limit VOC emissions from the
new PVF manufacturing operation (ID No. FS-C) and the existing PVF manufacturing operation (ID No. FS-B),
which commenced operation in September 2007. In addition, operation of the two PVF manufacturing operations
will result in an increased steam demand at the existing boilers of approximately 16,000 pounds of steam per hour,
which equates to about 19.7 million Btu per hour. DuPont will accept a PSD avoidance condition to limit SO2
emissions from the boilers to no greater than 702.5 tons per consecutive 12-month period. t

Because avoidance conditions are required to avoid PSD permitting, the modification requires a significant
modification of the air quality permit pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0516(b)(3). DuPont has requested a 2-Part
permitting procedure pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0501(c)(2). DuPont submitted both the "Part I" and "Part 11"
application for the proposed PVF manufacturing operations simultaneously. The "Part 2" application, assigned
Application No. 0900009.08B, was received by NC DAQ on April 8, 2008. DuPont has also submitted an
application for a Title V permit renewal, which was received on April 17, 2008.

IV. Regulatory Review
A. Polyvinyl Fluoride Manufacturing Facility No. 1 (ID No. FS-B)
Polyvinyl Fluoride Manufacturing Facility No. 2 (ID No. FS-C)
1. Description of Process/Modification
DuPont has an existing polyvinyl fluoride polymer (PVF) manufacturing operation (ID No. FS-B) that
was originally permitted on June 23, 2006 and commenced operation in September 2007. With this
application, DuPont is seeking authorization to construct and operate a second PVF manufacturing
process (ID No. FS-C).
The Fayetteville Works facility manufactures PVF in a solid powder form. PVF films are used in the
production of photovoltaic modules. In this process, PVF is formed from vinyl fluoride (VF) in a
continuous reactor. VF is a gas at atmospheric conditions, and is stored in a pressurized tank with a
polymerization inhibitor. VF is fed to the continuous reactor, first passing through a feed vessel in
which the inhibitor is removed and a small quantity of a modifier is added to improve product quality.
In the continuous reactor, a polymerization initiator is added to the VF and a crude PVF product is
formed. From the continuous reactor, the crude PVF passes through a series of separation equipment,
including separators, a filter press, and a steam -heated dryer.
Operation of the two PVF manufacturing operations will result in an increased steam demand at the
existing boilers of approximately 16,000 pounds of steam per hour, which equates to about 19.7
million Btu per hour.
PVF product is collected in a PVF Collection System, or baghouse.
A block flow diagram of the PVF manufacturing process is provided below.

As shown above, there are four point sources of emissions from the proposed PVF process:
FEP-CI: VOC emissions from the VF feed system (non -HAP, non -TAP)
FEP-C2: VOC emissions from the maintenance header that draws air from around the process
equipment (non -HAP, non -TAP)
FEP-C3: VOC emissions from the Flash Tank, following the separator system (non -HAP, non -TAP)
FEP-C4: PM/PM-10/PM-2.5 emissions from the product collection system (non -HAP, non -TAP)
2. 15A NCAC 2D .0515: PARTICULATES FROM MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES
This regulation limits allowable particulate matter emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet of any
industrial process for which no other emissions control standards apply based on the process weight
rate. The PVF product collection system (Vent No. FEP-C4) is a potential source of PM emission
with a maximum product throughput of less than 30 tons per hour.
For process weights less than or equal to 60,000 pounds per hour (30 tons per hour), allowable PM
emissions are limited as follows:
E = 4.10*P^(0.67)
where: E = allowable PM emission rate in pounds per hour, and
P = process weight in tons per hour
Potential particulate matter emissions associated with the PVF manufacturing process are less than
15% of the allowable emission rate on a lb/hr-bases, and less than 2 tons per year on an annual basis.Z
To demonstrate compliance with this standard, DuPont shall retain records on -site that are sufficient to
determine the process rate "P" in tons per hour.
3. 15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS
This regulation limits allowable visible emissions from any industrial process where a visible emission
can reasonably be expected to occur to no more than 20 percent opacity when averaged over a 6-
minute period, except that 6-minute periods averaging more than 87 percent opacity may occur not
more than once in any hour not more than four times in any 24-hour period. The PVF product
collection system (Vent No. FEP-C4) is a potential source of particulate matter with associated
opacity.
Monitoring. The permit will require monthly visible emissions observations of the affected exhaust
point, to check for visible emissions above "normal". The Permittee shall be required to establish what
constitutes "normal" emissions within 30 days of initial startup.
4. 15A NCAC 2D 1806• Control and Prohibition of Odorous Emissions (State -Enforceable On
This standard forbids the Permittee from operating the PVF manufacturing operations without
implementing management practices or installing and operating odor control equipment sufficient to
prevent odorous emissions from the facility from causing or contributing to objectionable odors
beyond the facility's boundary. No new requirements have been added to the draft permit to
demonstrate compliance with 15A NCAC 2D .1806.
5. 15A NCAC 20.0317: AVOIDANCE CONDITIONS
for 15A NCAC 2D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
DuPont is located in Bladen County, which is a designated attainment/unclassified area for all
pollutants regulated by the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program. Therefore, emissions
increases associated with proposed construction activities must be evaluated to determine whether the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program applies as provided in 15A NCAC 2D .0530.
2 DuPont has requested that emissions calculations, including emission factors, chemical names, and potential production rates, be protected as
Business Confidential information.

DuPont, which is a chemical processing plant with a 100-tpy major source threshold, is an existing
major source under the PSD program.
To determine whether the proposed project is a major modification pursuant to the PSD permitting
program, potential emissions associated with PVF Manufacturing Facility No. 2 (ID No. FS-C) are
combined with PVF Manufacturing Facility No. 1 (ID No. FS-B), which commenced operation in
September 2007. As shown in the following table, VOC and SO2 emissions increases associated with
the two projects could potentially exceed 40 tpy:

DuPont has requested that potential production rates be protected as Business Confidential information. To maintain
confidentiality of the potential production rates at the facility, exact potential emissions estimates are not provided in this table.
PM estimates include both PM-2.5 and PM-10.
Potential emissions estimates are from Application No. 0900009.06B, which requests authorization to construct and operate PVF
Manufacturing Facility No. 1 (ID No. FS-B) (Permit No. 03735T29).
."" Both PVF manufacturing lines use steam from the existing boilers. Total steam demand for the two PVF manufacturing lines is
approximately 19.7 mmBtu/hr heat. Debottlenecking emissions are estimated based on No. 6 fuel oil firing, 2.1% sulfur by
weight, and 8,760 hr/year.
PSD Avoidance for VOC Emissions
To avoid PSD permitting pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0530, DuPont is requesting an enforceable 40
tpy VOC emission limitation on the two PVF manufacturing facilities pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q
.0317. At each PVF manufacturing line, VOC emissions may occur at three individual point sources,
as follows:
- Analytical Equipment Vents (FEP-Bl and FEP-CI). VOC emissions from these points will be
monitored by a mass flow meter (in lbs). The measured flow rate is assumed to be 100% vinyl
fluoride.
- Maintenance Header Vents (FEP-B2 and FEP-C2). Emissions from these vents occur during
process/equipment maintenance activities, when the process is purged with nitrogen gas. The
purge stream, including both nitrogen and vinyl fluoride, is vented to the maintenance vent heaters
and then to the stack. VOC emissions from these points will be monitored by a mass now meter
at the stack. The measured flow rate is assumed to be 50% vinyl fluoride.
- Flash Tank Vents (FEP-B3 and FEP-C3). Unreacted vinyl fluoride that is NOT recovered in
the separator system is vented to the atmosphere from the flash tank vents. VOC emissions from
these vents will be monitored using DuPont's proprietary TMODS chemical process model,
including chemical equilibrium data, with vinyl fluoride flow rates to the reactors and pressures a
the separator system. Each hour, the Permittee shall monitor and record vinyl fluoride flow rate
and separator system pressure at each PVF manufacturing line. Once per calendar month, the
Permittee shall use the hourly process data in the TMOD model to determine monthly VOC
emission rate.
PSD Avoidance for SO, Emissions
To avoid PSD permitting pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0530, DuPont is requesting an enforceable 702.5
tpy SO2 emission limitation on the three existing boilers. The requested PSD avoidance limit is
derived by adding 40 tpy, the significant emission rate for SO2, to the baseline actual emissions of SO2
determined from Calendar Years 2000-2001. DuPont used a 10-year look -back period to determine
baseline actual emissions due to numerous instances of extended periods of non -operation and
DEQ-CFW 00068408
•
•
unscheduled maintenance periods at the main boiler (ID No. PS-1) during the previous five years.
Derivation of the PSD avoidance limit is provided below:
SOZ emissions from existing boilers — CY2000: 688.0 tpy
SO, emissions from existing boilers — CY 2001: 637.1 tpv
Baseline Actual Emissions: 662.5 tpy
+ Significant Emission Rate: + 40.0 tpv
Allowable SOZ Emission Rate: 702.5 tpy
To demonstrate compliance with the SOz emission limitation, each calendar month DuPont shall
monitor and record the monthly fuel combustion at the affected boilers, including sulfur content of fuel
oils, and calculate the associated SOZ emissions (in lb/month and tons/12-month period).
A Note on Fluorides
40 CFR 51.166(b)(49) defines a "regulated NSR pollutant" as,
(i) Any pollutant for which a national ambient air quality standard has been
promulgated and any pollutant identified under this paragraph (b)(49)(i) as a
constituent or precursor to such pollutant ...
(ii) Any pollutant that is subject to any standard promulgated under section 111 of the
Act;
(iii) Any Class I or II substance subject to a standard promulgated under or established
by title VI of the Act;
(iv) Any pollutant that otherwise is subject to regulation under the Act; except that any
or all hazardous air pollutants either listed in section 112 of the Act or added to the
list pursuant to section 112(b)(2) of the Act, which have not been delisted pursuant
to section 112(b)(3) of the Act, are not regulated NSR pollutants unless the listed
hazardous air pollutant is also regulated as a constituent or precursor of a general
pollutant listed under section 108 of the Act.
Inorganic fluorides, as detected using U.S. EPA Methods 13A and/or 13B, are subject to promulgated
standards under Section 111 of the Act (i.e. NSPS Standards), and are therefore regulated NSR
pollutants pursuant to (ii) above. Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a regulated hazardous air pollutant (HAP),
and therefore exempt from the definition of regulated NSR pollutants pursuant to (iv) above.
Organic HAP, including polyvinyl fluorides, do not have an associated NAAQS (except as VOC), are
not regulated by a NSPS, and are not subject to a standard promulgated under or established by Title
VI of the Act. Therefore, organic fluorides that are not detected using U.S. EPA Methods 13A and/or
13B and not regulated NSR pollutants (except as VOC).
B. Abrasive Blasting Building (ID No. I-10) — State -Enforceable Only
DuPont is completing construction of an enclosed building to house periodic abrasive blasting operations
and comply with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2D .0541(c). PM emissions from the abrasive blasting
operations will be less than 2 tons per year based on historical use of blasting abrasive at the facility and
calculation methodology provided in Section 13.2.6 of U.S. EPA's AP-42.
This abrasive blasting operation is an insignificant activity because of size or production rate pursuant to
15A NCAC 2Q .0503(8) (ID No. I-10)
NOTE: Because DuPont has multiple small abrasive blasting operations located on -site, the Fayetteville
Regional Office (FRO) has requested that 15A NCAC 2D .0541, "Control of Emissions from Abrasive
Blasting" be included in the permit. In response to the FRO request, 15A NCAC 2D .0541 has been
included as a "facility -wide" requirement in Section 2.2.C, of the draft permit.
