2005 AIR EMISSIONS INVENTORY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Emission Source ID No: NS-B
Emission Source Description: VE-North PPVE Manufacturing Process
Process & Emission Description: The VE-North PPVE manufacturing process is a continuous chemical
reaction. All emissions from the process are vented through the Nafion Division Waste Gas Scrubber
(Control Device ID No. NCD-Hdr) which has a documented control efficiency of 99.6% for all acid fluoride
compounds. Some emitted compounds are assumed to pass completely through the scrubber, so the control
efficiency for those compounds is assumed to be 0%. The control of emissions of specific compounds will
be addressed and detailed in the followigg pages.
The PPVE process in VE North emits compounds in the acid fluoride family. In the presence of water (such
as in atmospheric moisture), these acid fluorides can eventually hydrolyze to hydrogen fluoride. For the
purpose of this emissions inventory, a conservative approach will be taken and the acid fluorides will be
reported both as a VOC and as the equivalent quantity of hydrogen fluoride.
Basis and Assumptions:
- The PPVE process flowsheet is the basis for relative concentrations of before -control emissions of
gaseous wastes.
- Calculations of point source emissions are based on actual vent flow totals taken from the IP21 Historian.
- All emission determination calculations are available on the EXCEL spreadsheet found at
S:/Everyone/martinas/VEN Air Emissions 2005 Annual Summaryxls.
