1 Introduction Sleever International operates in accordance with an Integrated Pollution Control

Licence (IPC Licence No. P0674-01) administered by the EPA. Under this licence

Sleever International are required to prepare an annual Fugitive Emissions

Assessment for the purpose of evaluating emissions to air as a result of the

unintended loss or release of volatile vapours associated with solvent-based

materials utilized on-site during processing.

Sleever International falls under the scope of the S.I. 565 of 2012 European Union

(Installations and Activities using Organic Solvents) Regulations 2012 (herein labelled

as the Solvent Regulations 2012), as they are involved in the use of surface coating

materials with a capacity to use greater than 15 tonnes per year of organic solvents.

As such, the obligation to conduct a Fugitive Emissions Assessment on an annual

basis, as per these regulations (and pre-existing superseded regulations), has been

incorporated into their IPC licence. Condition 5.9 of their IPC licence stipulates that;

‘The licensee shall prepare a programme, to the satisfaction of the Agency, for the

monitoring of fugitive emissions to air. This programme shall be submitted to the

Agency for agreement, within six months of the date of grant of this licence and shall

be fully implemented within three months of the date of such approval or such other

time as the Agency may allow. A full report on fugitive emissions to air shall be

included annually in the AER.’

Environmental Efficiency Consultants Ltd has been commissioned by Sleever

International to carry out this work. This assessment has been carried out in

accordance with the mass balance methodology outlined in Schedule 6 of Solvent

Regulations 2012.

2 Executive Summary With reference to Schedule 2 of the Solvent Regulations 2012 it was determined that the

fugitive emission limit value for the activity concerned (where greater than 15 tonnes of

solvent is consumed annually) is 20% of total solvent input. In 2016 Sleever International had

a total solvent consumption of 25.3 tonnes; see Table 1-1 below for solvent use figures.

A mass balance analysis of Total Organic Carbon as Carbon (TOC as C) inputs and outputs

took place in order to estimate fugitive emission levels. TOC as C is considered a

representative parameter that correlates to organic solvent use. Fugitive emissions or in

other words, the unintended loss of solvent vapours, are represented by the difference

between TOC as C inputs and outputs relating to solvent use (i.e. the loss differential

between input and output). This figure is subsequently expressed as a percentage of the

total TOC input into solvent using processes and compared with the fugitive emission level

stipulated.

Calculations from the mass balance analysis conducted show that Sleever International has a

fugitive emission level of 8% of total TOC as C inputs arising from solvent use. This fugitive

emission level therefore is in compliance with the fugitive emission limit value of 20% for

such surface coating operations, as stipulated in the Solvent Regulations 2012.

3 Fugitive Emission Assessment Methodology

The following fugitive emission assessment methodology is outlined in Schedule 6 of the

Solvent Regulations. The calculation of the fugitive emissions is done through mass balance

analysis, using one of the two following equations:

F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8

F = O2 + O3 + O4 + O9

The definitions for the terms used in these equations are as follows:

Inputs of organic solvents (I)

I1: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparation purchased which

are used as inputs into the process in the time frame over which the mass balance is

being calculated

I2: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations recovered and

reused as solvent input into the processes

Outputs of organic solvents (O)

Emissions in extracted waste gases (O1)

Organic solvents lost in water (O2)

The quantity of organic solvent which remains as contamination or residue in

products manufactured during processing (O3)

Uncaptured emissions to organics solvents to air (O4)

Organic solvents lost due to chemical or physical reactions (O5)

Organic solvents contained in collected waste (O6)

Organic solvents or organic solvents contained in preparations which are sold or are

intended to be sold as a commercially valuable product (O7)

Organic solvents contained in preparations recovered for reuse but not as input back

into the process (O8)

Organic released in other ways (O9)

These inputs and outputs are shown in the following figure;

3.1 Determination of the different Inputs and Outputs:

The information that is available at the site and from the various monitoring carried out

suggests that the following equation is the most suitable to determine the fugitive emission

value for the site:

F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8

It is therefore proposed that this equation be used for the assessment.

The different parameters of this equation will be calculated as TOC as C and for the same

period to be comparable.

I1: The quantity of solvent purchased during the given period:

I1 = Opening Stock + Purchases during the period – Closing Stock

The TOC as C contribution of the inks and solvents will be calculated with reference to the

MSDS sheets for each of the individual substances and the molecular formula of the

constituents.

O1: Emissions in waste gases/vapours:

TOC as C mass emissions from stacks situated on-site will be calculated with reference to air

monitoring conducted during 2016. The concentration of TOC as C obtained from this

monitoring will be multiplied by the estimated volume flow of waste air emissions to derive

TOC as C mass flow for a set time period. The total amount of operating hours over which

processing took place during 2016 will be identified, and the mass emissions of TOC as C for

the study period will be calculated. It should be noted that stack emissions differ from

fugitive emissions as they are intended losses to the environment through a designated

route. As such, stack emissions are controlled, monitored and evaluated in accordance with

Schedule 1 of the IPC licence P0674-01.

O5: Organic solvents lost due to chemical or physical reactions:

At present, none of the processes used by the company leads to the loss of solvent due to

chemical or physical reactions.

O6: Organic solvents contained in collected waste:

In 2016 organic solvents were contained in three types of collected waste at the site:

Solvent/ink/solvent sludge: The quantity of ink, solvent and solvent sludge disposed

of is recorded. The average proportion of TOC as C in each waste stream was

assumed to be the same as in the purchased products.

Solvent residues on empty containers: According to 40 CFR 261.7, a container

holding non-acute hazardous waste can be considered as empty if:

o all wastes have been removed using practices commonly employed industry-

wide to remove wastes from containers or liners, such as pouring, pumping,

aspirating, and draining (§261.7(b)(1)(i)), and

o no more than 2.5 centimetres (1 inch) of material remains in the container

or liner (§261.7(b)(1)(ii)), or

o no more than 3 percent by weight of the container remains for containers

with a capacity of 110 gallons or less, and no more than 0.3 percent by

weight remains for containers with a capacity greater than 110 gallons

(§261.7(b)(1)(iii)).

Sleever International Fugitive Emissions Assessment 2016

Environmental Efficiency Document No.: 1929-01 v.1.00; Page 10 of 19

Therefore, the quantity of solvent residues in empty containers will be calculated on the

basis that 3% by weight of the purchased solvent ultimately remains in the containers (All

containers have a capacity that is lower than 110 gallons or 416L).

Solvent residues on cleaning rags: The amount of solvent residues in the cleaning

rags is believed to be very low as most of the solvent evaporates. The quantity of

solvent remaining in the rags is believed to be inferior to 5%. For the purpose of the

assessment and to be conservative, it is proposed to take a percentage of 2.5% for

the calculation.

O7: Organic solvents or organic solvents contained in preparations which are sold or are

intended to be sold as a commercially valuable product: The products sold by the company

do not contain any solvent. All the solvent applied onto the unfinished products during the

printing operation are believed to be emitted to the atmosphere by the air emissions stacks

or as part of the fugitive emissions.

O8: Organic solvents contained in preparations recovered for reuse but not as input into the

process, as long as not counted under O7:

The company does not recover solvent on-site.

3.2 Determination of the environmental significance of the fugitive emissions

As suggested in Schedule 6 of the Regulations, the fugitive emission value obtained following

the methodology outlined in Section 3.1 will be expressed as a proportion of the input,

which can be calculated using the following equation:

I = I1 + I2 With

I1: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparation purchased which

are used as inputs into the process in the time frame over which the mass balance is

being calculated (2016 Calendar year)

I2: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations recovered and

reused as solvent input into the processes.

The company does not recover any solvent and therefore in this case: I = I1

Determination of the environmental significance of the fugitive emissions at the site:

The obtained figure will then be compared to the fugitive emission value threshold set out in

Schedule 2 of the Solvent Regulations 2012. For surface coating activities carried out within

Sleever Internationals facility, the maximum permissible value for fugitive emission levels is:

25% of total solvent input where the solvent consumption is between 5 and 15

tonnes, or;

20% of total solvent input where the solvent consumption is above 15 tonnes.

4 Calculations 4.1 Determination of I1

The quantities of solvents and inks purchased in 2016 and the stock figures for the beginning

and the end of the year were reviewed, in order to calculate the solvent input to the

process. All the available MSDS’s for the organic solvent were also reviewed so that the

quantities could be expressed in TOC as C.

The summary figures for the calculation of I1 are presented in the following table and the

details of the calculation are provided in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2.

4.2 Determination of O1

Air emission monitoring which was conducted on-site during 2016 was reviewed. TOC as C

mass emissions were averaged calculated in kg/hour and multiplied by the hours of

operation of the printers for the year in order estimate annual TOC as C output through

stack air emissions.

4.3 Determination of O6

As mentioned in Section 3.1 of this report, there were three types of waste stream

containing solvents generated at the site in 2016:

Solvent/ink/solvent sludge

Empty containers

Solvent contaminated rags

4.3.1 Solvent/Solvent-based Ink/Solvent Sludge The amount of solvent-based waste disposed of in 2016 was recorded by the company. The

composition of waste solvent is considered to be proportionate to the composition of

solvent input. As such, the average TOC as C content of solvent/solvent-based ink inputs was

used to determine the TOC as C content of the sludge.

0.95kg/L of the product waste per litre has been calculated based on recorded volumes and

weights of disposed sludge. (N.B. Weighted average TOC as C content in inks/solvent is 46%).

previously mentioned in Section 3 of this report, a concentration of solvent in the rags of

2.5% was used for the calculations. (N.B. Weighted average TOC as C content in inks/solvent

is 46%).

4.4 Determination of Fugitive emissions

As previously mentioned, the formula used to calculate the fugitive emissions is: F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8

Or in this instance F = I1 – O1 – O6

Where:

F= I - O1-O6

F% = F/Total Inputs ( C based solvents/inks)

I = I1 + I2

I1 = 6,636 kg

I2 = 11,200 kg

I = 17,836 kg

O1 = 3,767 kg

O6 = 12,604 kg

F =17,836 – 3,767 – 12,604 = 1,465kg

F% = I

F = 1,465/17,836 = 8% of solvent input

Fugitive emissions represent 8% of organic solvent input.

5 Conclusion The quantity of solvents used during processing during 2016 was 25.3 tonnes.

All records obtained and reviewed regarding solvent consumption, emissions to atmosphere,

and waste quantities were readily available on-site and in a form conducive to the

completion of mass balance analysis.

Fugitive emission levels were calculated at 8% of total solvent input. As such, Sleever

International Ltd is in compliance with the applicable fugitive emission limit value of 20%, for

their onsite activities.
