Fluid Air Products | | Time & City - to be announced How can I cut VOC and HAP emissions, hazardous waste and overall operating costs by up to 40% without spending a dime? How can I reduce the cost on my hazardous waste on your waste paint, solvents and spray booth filters ? Do I get reliable VOC/HAP and inorganic HAP information from my MSDS? How do I accurately calculate VOC/HAP contents from MSDS? How do I measure compliance on my HVLP spray guns? What will inspectors look for in my record keeping?
This program will provide you with all the information and training you will ever need to keep your facility in compliance with all air pollution control regulations. After taking this class you will feel confident applying for permits and negotiating permit conditions with federal, state and local agencies. Most EPA and state agencies studied it. Hundreds of environmental coordinators, environmental consultants, plant managers, and environmental lawyers were trained with it. Several hundred spray painters, paint foremen, and supervisors have learned from it. Who should Attend / Agenda / About the Instructor / Date & Location of Training
Cost of Program / Comments from Previous Participants / Evaluation Report What You Will Learn Constituents of paints and coatings, and how they affect both air pollution and hazardous waste. Compliant coatings currently available, in solvent-borne, water-borne and powder formulations. Role of chromates and other inorganic HAPs in coatings. Coating regulations, RACT, BACT, MACT, LAER and NESHAP. NESHAPS: we will review the existing Aerospace and Wood Finishing NESHAPs as well as the latest draft of the proposed new NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts. Relationship between solvents (thinners) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and Ozone Depleting Compounds (ODCs). How to interpret MSDS or technical data sheets and how these values were derived by the vendors and the degree of accuracy that can be expected. How to perform over 20 different types of calculations: VOC/HAP contents for the mixing of single and two-component coatings; calculating VOCs and HAPs from MSDS and from EPA Method 24 analyses, emissions of VOCs and HAPs for Title V and permit reporting, calculations including transfer efficiency, capture efficiency, emissions after abatement, calculating composite vapor pressure for solvent wiping operations. Common coating application methods: include discussion of different types of HVLP spray guns and their compliance with regulations and techniques for minimizing emissions and hazardous waste Proper record keeping, what inspectors look for when conducting an audit of a painting facility, the responsibilities that different job functions have for compliance, and how violations are dealt with.
