HFPO Manufacturing Process Non -Point Source Emissions
Page 1 of 12
Non -point Source Emission Determination:
Non -point source emissions include equipment emissions and maintenance emissions. Equipment emissions are due to leaks from valves,
flanges, and pumps. If these leaks occur outside of a building, they are considered fugitive emissions. Maintenance emissions are due to
opening up vessels for maintenance and though some of this equipment is located indoors, to be conservative it will be assumed that all
maintenance emissions are fugitive emissions.
I. Equipment Emissions
Equipment Emissions are a function of the number of emission points in the plant (valves, flanges, pump seals). For the equipment emission
calculations the inventory shown below is conservative and based on plant and process diagrams. Note that the calculations below include
equipment emissions (EE) inside buildings (which become stack emissions or SE) as well as equipment emissions outside buildings (fugitive
emissions or FE).
A. Equipment Emissions Inside Buildings (Stack Emissions)
1. Equipment Emissions from Reactor, Distillation Column, #1 Recycle Tank:
Emissions are vented from equipment located in the barricade and are vented through the barricade scrubber. Barricade
scrubber is 95% efficient for control of acid fluorides. From W1208078 HFPO Flowsheet:

assumed to be air emissions.

Mass Balance:
Toluene inventory in process as first day of month:

Toluene inventory in process as of last day of month:
Toluene destroyed in process:

In section B-1, fugitive emissions from distillation system #2, the assumption was made that all of the fugitive emissions were
toluene. As the mass balance above shows the unaccounted for toluene, the amount calculated in section 3 is extremely
conservative. Therefore, for the purpose of toluene and VOC emissions, the amount actually vented will be reported based
on the mass balance calculation.

II. Maintenance Emissions
Background
During preparation of equipment for maintenance, a vessel is first de -inventoried of liquid (to another process vessel), then de-
pressurized (to a vacuum), then nitrogen is used for a series of pressurize/vent-down cycles until a vessel is fume free. For the
purpose of estimating emissions from vessel preparation, the plant can be broken down into three sections: HFP Storage and
Feed, HFPO Distillation system #2, and everything else. Below are the definitions, assumptions, and calculations of
maintenance emissions for each section.
A. HFP Storage and Feed
The HFP Storage section consists of the two HFP Storage Tanks and the associated equipment to transfer HFP into the tanks.
When maintenance clearing is required for these tanks (scheduled once per year), the liquid inventory is transferred to the other
tank, the vapors are compressed into the tank (down to 10 psig), and then the residue is evacuated to the Nafion® Division
Waste Gas Scrubber. The emissions to the atmosphere, therefore, are the HFP vapors remaining at 10 psig.
Calculations:

will be recorded. This will usually occur during the annual outage.

B. Distillation System #2
When maintenance clearing is required for the column and tanks (scheduled once per year), the liquid inventory is transferred
to the other tank, the vapors are compressed into the tank (down to 10 psig), and then the residue is evacuated to the Nafion®
Division Waste Gas Scrubber. For the purposes of these calculations, the average operating pressure and total volume are
used.
Calculations:

Tank Volume = 3300 gal = 441 ft3

As stated previously, toluene amounts are calculated by mass balance. The amount vented calculated by mass balance will be
used for toluene and VOC emisssions.

C. 'Rest of the Process"
The rest of the HFPO process contains HFP, HFPO, and both low and high vapor pressure acid fluorides (acid fluorides are
organic compounds which release HF when exposed to the atmosphere). The calculations below do not include the low-
pressure acid fluorides because at temperatures at which the vessels are prepared for maintenance the concentration of the
low vapor pressure acid fluorides is very low. The high vapor pressure acid fluorides are not included because they are
assumed to go to the WGS during decontamination. Though some of the process is located inside buildings, to be
conservative it will be assumed that all emissions are fugitive emissions.
Assume that: Pressure is vapor pressure of HFP/HFPO at ambient temperature (HFP and HFPO have the same vapor
pressures)
Composition HFP to HFPO of vapor space in equipment is equivilant to ratio in line 11 of HFPO Flowsheet

Note: Speciated emissions (except for benzene, toluene, and maintenance emissions) were estimated by assuming that each
compound's emission concentration was equal to the compound's stack emissions fraction of the total stack emissions.
For example: the stack emission of PAF was 956 Ibs
with the total stack emission of VOCs being 48,751 Ibs
The total outside fugitive emission (minus benzene & toluene) was 10,443.95 Ibs VOC
956 Ibs PAF x 10,443.95 fugitive VOC = 205 lb fugitive PAF emissions
48,751 Ibs VOC

D. HFPO Storage System
The HFPO Storage section consists of two HFPO Storage Tanks and the associated equipment to contain final product. When
maintenance clearing is required for these tanks, the liquid inventory is transferred to other tanks, the vapors are compressed into the
tank(down to 10 psig), and then the residue is evacuated to the Nafion® Division Waste Gas Scrubber. The emissions to the
atmosphere, therefore, are the HFPO vapors remaining at 10 psig.
