Printing, coating, and dyeing of fabrics and other textiles MACT

5. What are the emission limits for affected sources under this rule?

This final rule limits organic HAP emissions from coating, printing, slashing, dyeing and finishing operations. Emission limits are established based on the web coating and printing, slashing, and dyeing and finishing subcategories.

If a new or reconstructed web coating and printing affected source conducts coating operations only, printing operations only, or both coating and printing operations, the facility may choose to achieve 98% removal efficiency, limit HAP emissions to 0.08 kg of organic HAP per kg of solids applied, or use an oxidizer to control organic HAP emissions.

If an existing web coating and printing affected source conducts coating operations only, printing operations only, or both coating and printing operations, the facility may choose to achieve 97% removal efficiency, limit HAP emissions to 0.12 kg of organic HAP per kg of solids applied, or use an oxidizer to control organic HAP emissions.

If a new, reconstructed, or existing dyeing and finishing affected source conducts dyeing operations only, finishing operations only, or both dyeing and finishing operations, the facility must limit organic HAP emissions to 0.016 kg of organic HAP per kg of dyeing materials applied, limit organic HAP emissions to 0.0003 kg of organic HAP per kg of finishing materials applied, and must limit organic HAP emissions to 0.016 kg of organic HAP per kg of dyeing and finishing materials applied.

New, reconstructed, or existing slashing affected sources must limit organic HAP emissions to the atmosphere to no more that zero kg of organic HAP per kg of slashing materials applied.
