Advantages
Consuming high Btu value VOC emissions generated from manufacturing, petrochemical and synthetic organic chemical processes
The elimination of existing air pollution control equipment and the associated life-cycle costs is a significant economic benefit for any facility
Production reliability, competitiveness, energy security; air quality permit compliance and major reductions of regulated VOCs, toxics and carbon dioxide emissions
Replaces legacy air pollution control technology in an existing and ready market and it is a wealth generating economic model via efficiency for industry
An evolution in integrated plant architecture and advanced engineering design for onsite power and environmental controls
EPA Regulated Industry Applications for VOCGEN
(click here)
VOCGEN is a strategic cross-cutting technology representing an excellent economic model for industry
VOCGEN gas turbines use clean-buring natural gas and high-Btu value solvent/fuel emissions as fuel sources
VOCGEN CHP systems can fit into existing air pollution control infrastructure
VOCGEN gensets can replace or operate in parallel in a redundant system configuration to existing thermal oxidizer equipment
Carbon Compounds Exempt from VOC Regulation
USEPA regulations include a list of compounds that are explicitly exempted from regulation as VOCs , even though they are "compounds of carbon." These include a short list of compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that historically have not been regulated as VOCs, and a longer list of compounds that the EPA has classified as "negligibly reactive." Negligibly reactive compounds are compounds that, based on scientific studies, have been found "not to contribute appreciably to ozone formation." This list of VOC exempt compounds is found at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s).
Start your search for 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) at www.epa.gov, then go to Laws and Regulations (which you‘ll see on the left side), then Regulations and Proposed Rules, then Codified Regulations. Finally, you will be rewarded with a form in which you can enter the specifics of the CFR you are searching for, in this case Title 40 CFR Part 51.100. It works, but you need lots of patience to get there. You can download a text or Adobe pdf file of the section.
