Subject:
Air
Pollution
Control
Device
Vendor
Information
The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
proposed
standards
for
the
Plywood
and
Composite
Wood
Products
(
PCWP)
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
on
January
9,
2003.
During
the
public
comment
period,
EPA
received
two
comments
stating
that
there
are
not
enough
add­
on
air
pollution
control
device
(
APCD)
vendors
to
allow
all
sources
to
comply
with
the
NESHAP
by
the
three­
year
compliance
date.
1,2
One
commenter
claimed
that
"
over
two­
thirds"
of
the
vendors
who
installed
the
regenerative
thermal
oxidizers
(
RTO)
and
regenerative
catalytic
oxidizers
(
RCO)
included
in
the
MACT
floor
determination
have
gone
bankrupt
in
the
past
four
years.
1
The
purpose
of
this
memorandum
is
to
document
the
information
collected
regarding
incineration­
based
control
device
vendors
in
order
to
investigate
and
address
the
vendor
availability
concerns.

A
list
of
APCD
vendors
was
compiled
by
examining
the
MACT
survey
results;
3
advertisements,
articles,
and
directories
in
Panel
World
magazine;
4
and
several
online
pollution
abatement
directories.
5,6,7
The
number
of
incineration­
based
control
devices
designed
and
installed
by
each
vendor
according
to
the
MACT
survey
is
presented
in
Table
1.
The
companies
listed
in
the
MACT
survey
or
referenced
in
Panel
World
generally
are
those
with
experience
with
the
PCWP
industry.
These
companies
are
listed
in
Table
2.
Companies
not
included
in
Panel
World
or
the
MACT
survey
results
are
listed
in
Table
2
only
if
a
specific
reference
to
an
installation
at
a
PCWP
facility
was
found.
Any
other
companies
found
to
manufacture
and
install
incineration­
based
control
devices
that
could
be
used
by
the
PCWP
industry
were
listed
in
Table
3.

*
For
the
purpose
of
this
analysis,
a
"
vendor
quality
rating"
was
assigned
to
each
of
the
vendors
listed
in
Tables
2
and
3
based
on
a
scale
from
zero
to
three.
The
purpose
of
the
rating
system
is
to
aid
in
determining,
based
on
the
available
information,
each
vendor's
ability
to
supply
the
PCWP
industry
with
multiple
incineration­
based
control
devices
at
the
same
time.
Factors
taken
into
account
for
each
vendor
include
frequency
of
advertisements
in
Panel
World,
submission
of
articles
about
control
device
technology
to
Panel
World
by
vendor
employees,
documented
experience
designing
and
installing
control
devices,
size
of
the
company
and
number
of
locations,
number
and
variety
of
products,
and
main
focus
of
the
company.
For
example,
a
large
company
that
focuses
solely
on
incineration­
based
APCD
and
has
multiple
RTO
and
RCO
models
is
likely
to
be
capable
of
handling
several
orders
from
the
PCWP
industry
simultaneously,
2
while
a
smaller
company
that
designs
RTO
but
focuses
on
products
to
control
emissions
of
nitrogen
oxides
and
has
no
prior
experience
with
the
PCWP
industry
is
more
likely
to
handle
only
one
RTO
order
at
a
time.

A
review
of
journal
articles
and
Internet
webpages
identified
at
least
10
incineration­
based
control
device
vendors
currently
in
operation
that
have
experience
installing
controls
at
PWCP
facilities
and
that
appear
to
be
capable
of
handling
multiple
installation
requests
simultaneously.
These
companies
are
indicated
by
a
vendor
quality
rating
of
3
in
Table
2.
Six
other
companies
have
experience
with
the
industry,
but
it
is
unclear
if
they
have
the
ability
to
handle
the
same
number
of
simultaneous
orders
as
the
10
top­
quality
vendors.
These
six
companies
were
given
a
vendor
quality
rating
of
2
or
2.5
in
Table
2.
The
remaining
vendors
listed
in
Table
2
received
vendor
quality
ratings
ranging
from
0
to
1.5
depending
on
available
information.
About
12
additional
companies
have
experience
manufacturing
and
installing
incineration­
based
controls,
but
they
do
not
have
experience
with
the
PCWP
industry.
These
companies
are
listed
in
Table
3
and
received
vendor
quality
ratings
ranging
from
1.5
to
2.5
depending
on
their
perceived
ability
to
supply
multiple
control
devices
to
the
PCWP
industry.

As
shown
in
Table
1,
11
different
vendors
were
responsible
for
installing
the
89
incineration­
based
control
devices
listed
in
the
MACT
survey
results.
Four
of
these
eleven
vendors
went
out
of
business
in
the
last
few
years
but
were
all
purchased
or
otherwise
acquired
by
another
company.
Three
of
these
vendors,
REECO,
Salem
Engelhard,
and
Smith
Engineering,
were
acquired
by
two
of
the
10
top­
quality
vendors
mentioned
above:
Dürr
Environmental,
Inc.
and
Pro­
Environmental,
Inc.
The
fourth
vendor,
Geoenergy
International,
was
recently
purchased
by
A.
H.
Lundberg
Associates,
Inc.,
an
environmental
technology
company
with
experience
in
pollution
control
for
the
pulp
and
paper
industry.
The
Geoenergy
Division
of
Lundberg
Associates
is
one
of
the
six
companies
with
a
vendor
quality
rating
of
2
or
2.5;
it
did
not
receive
a
rating
of
3
mainly
because
the
division
is
still
relatively
new
and
its
full
capacity
is
not
yet
known.
A
fifth
company
that
installed
four
of
the
RTO
reported
in
the
MACT
survey,
Wheelabrator,
is
still
operating,
but
incineration­
based
control
devices
are
not
present
in
the
list
of
products
on
their
website.
Instead,
the
company
appears
to
be
focusing
on
mist
eliminators
and
scrubbers.

*
To
determine
the
worst­
case
cost
of
the
PCWP
NESHAP,
mill­
by­
mill
cost
analyses
were
developed
for
the
PCWP
industry,
assuming
that
RTO
would
be
used
for
compliance.
8
The
millby
mill
analyses
reflected
the
population
of
PCWP
facilities,
process
units,
and
APCD
as
of
April
2000.
In
these
cost
analyses,
it
was
estimated
that
205
RTO
would
be
installed
to
comply
with
the
PCWP
NESHAP.
These
analyses
did
not
account
for
the
various
compliance
options
in
the
PCWP
NESHAP
(
e.
g.,
production­
based
compliance
options,
emissions
averaging)
that
will
reduce
the
estimated
number
of
APCD
needed.
These
analyses
also
did
not
account
for
use
of
other
MACT
controls,
such
as
RCO,
biofilters,
or
incineration
in
an
onsite
combustion
unit.
Thus
205
RTO
is
a
worst­
case
estimate
of
the
number
of
RTO
needed
as
of
April
2000.
Since
April
2000,
the
estimated
number
of
RTO
needed
has
been
reduced
by
35
because
of
facilities
installing
MACT
APCD
and
plant
closures.
9
Thus,
the
worst­
case
number
of
RTO
(
or
other
APCD)
estimated
to
be
needed
over
the
next
3
years
for
MACT
compliance
is
170.
There
are
30
vendors
3
listed
in
Tables
1
and
2
with
vendor
quality
ratings
of
1.5
or
higher.
If
all
of
these
vendors
designed
and
installed
the
same
number
of
RTO,
each
vendor
would
be
responsible
for
less
than
six
APCD
over
3
years.

Founded
as

it
became
"
clear
that
end

were
suffering
from
neglect
by
their
original
equipment
manufacturers.
Though
Alliance
has
since
evolved
into
a
manufacturer
at
the
urging
of
our
customers
we
have
remained
and
will
always
remain
a

company."

­
"
Every
oxidizer
we
build
is
tailored
to
the
specific

control
needs
of
your
process
and
facility.
Our
oxidizer
designs
have
been
proven
in
both

Alliance

is

company
dedicated
to
building
the

While
others
might
go
to
great
lengths
and
overhead
burden
to
promote
their
companies
through
ad­
vertising,
trade
shows,
etc.,
we
have
chosen
instead
to
quietly
focus
on
our
products
and
service
and
to
rely
primarily
on
referrals
as
our
source
of
business.
While
our
approach
may
not
encourage
the
most
rapid
growth,
it
does
ensure
that
we
maintain
an
outstanding
reputation
with
our
steadily
growing
customer
base
by
offering
exceptional
value."

The

is
designed

adsorb
Volatile

a
high
volume,
low
concentration
airstream
and
to
oxidize
the
VOCs
in
a
reduced
volume,
high

stream.
The
high
volume
airstream
is
passed
through
a
rotor
concentrator
wheel
where
the
VOCs
are
adsorbed
in
the
bed,
purifying
the
high

air.
This
high
volume
air
is
then
exhausted
to
atmosphere.
The
concentrator
wheel
rotates
continuously,
transporting
adsorbed
VOCs
into
a
desorption
section.
This
low
volume,
high
VOCladen
air
is
then
processed
by
an
oxidizer.
The
operational
cost

is
substantially
