1-1 Storage process (including acceptance and delivery facilities)

This is a process where raw materials, materials, products, etc. are stored
in storage tanks such as follows.
• Fixed-roof tank
• Floating-roof tank
• Underground tank (such as gas stations)

The release to the environment includes the air emission resulting from the
following losses.
• Fixed-roof tank: Breathing loss *1, Acceptance loss *2
• Floating-roof tank: Discharge loss *3
• Underground tank: Acceptance loss *2, Refueling loss *4

If exhaust gas is treated by activated carbon adsorption treatment in


exhaust gas treatment facility, waste (such as spent carbon) may be
generated.

The following methods can be used to calculate the released quantity.


(1) Engineering calculations
(2) Use of emission factors
(3) Use of mass balance

To make engineering calculations of the quantity released/transferred from


the storage facility, follow the procedure shown below, which is distinct
from the procedure using mass balance described in Part I and Part II.
Examples given are of calculation of toluene. Follow the same procedure to
calculate the quantity of xylene and benzene.

Step 1: Calculate the annual quantity of specified substance


handled.
Step 2: Calculate the release/transfer to medium other than air.
Step 3: Calculate the air emission of the specified substance.
Step 4: Sum up the quantities of specified substance released or
transferred.

To calculate the quantity released or transferred from the storage facility


using emission factors, follow the procedure shown below, which is distinct
from the procedure using mass balance described in Part I and Part II.
Examples given are of calculation of benzene. Follow the same procedure to
calculate the quantity of ethylbenzene, xylene and toluene. (Refer also to

gasoline accepted and fueled.
• Emission factor at acceptance of benzene : 0.0025759 kg/kL

1-2 Reaction/mixing process

This is a process where raw materials are made to react to generate a new
chemical substance, raw materials are mixed (without chemical reaction),
distilled for purification or separated into solid and liquid to manufacture
products.

The release to the environment and off-site transfer in waste include the
following.
• Volatilization of specified substance contained in raw materials or
manufactured goods into air or mixing into effluent
• Transfer as spent solvent

When exhaust gas or effluent generated from the process is treated by


activated carbon adsorption treatment in an exhaust gas/effluent treatment
facility, waste (spent carbon, etc.) may be generated.

Since the annual quantity of toluene handled is larger than the


specified quantity (1t/year), it is designated as requiring
notification.

Step 2 Calculate the quantity of specified substance released as


manufactured goods.

Since the quantity of specified substance released as manufactured


goods equals to the quantity of toluene contained in manufactured
printing ink, calculate the quantity using the yield of toluene as
shown by the following formula.

Step 6 Judge to which medium, land or water, larger or smaller


quantity is released.

Since toluene has high volatility, it is assumed that larger quantity


is released to air.

Step 7 Calculate the release of specified substance to water.

Since no goods are manufactured in the facility, 0 is assumed as


the quantity released as manufactured goods.

Since sodium tetraborate has high melting point (741 °C), air
emission is assumed to be almost none. Therefore, larger quantity
is released to water.

Step 7 Calculate the air emission of specified substance.

1-4 Washing process

This is a process where dirt attached to products and parts are washed
away using water-based detergent (such as surface active agent) or non
water-based detergent (such as chlorinated solvent).
Dry cleaning process of clothes, etc. is included in this process.

The release to the environment and off-site transfer in waste include the
following.
• Air emission of specified substance in washing detergent by
volatilization or release in effluent from washing equipment
• Transfer as spent solvent

If exhaust gas or effluent generated in the process is treated in exhaust gas


or effluent treatment facility by activated carbon adsorption method, etc.,
waste (such as spent carbon) may be generated.

[Example of specified substances]


Dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, poly (oxy-ethylene)

Step 3 Calculate the quantity of specified substance in waste.

Calculate the quantity of tetrachloroethylene contained in filter,


distillation sludge and spent carbon using the following factors (→

• Factor for the quantity contained in the filter per laundry load
(weight) (per replacement of filter): 2L/((kg/cleaning)•Cleaning)

Step 6 Judge to which medium, air or water, larger or smaller quantity


is released.

Since tetrachloroethylene has high volatility, it is assumed that


larger quantity is released to air.

Step 7 Calculate the quantity of specified substance released to water.

The concentration of tetrachloroethylene in effluent is not


measured. However, since the emission standard designates that the
concentration must be 0.1mg/L (=0.1×10 − 3 kg/m 3 ) or lower,
calculate the release to water on the assumption that the
concentration is that value.

1-5 Painting process

This is a process where parts, surface of products, etc. are coated by


spraying or electro-coating.

The release to the environment and off-site transfer in waste include the
following.
• Volatilization of specified substance (solvent component) in paint to air
• Mixing of solvent component or pigment component from wet booth to
effluent
• Transfer of solvent component or pigment component as spent paint, etc.

If exhaust gas or effluent generated from the process is treated in exhaust


gas or effluent treatment facility by activated carbon adsorption method,
waste (such as spent carbon) may be generated.

[ Ex am p l e s of s u bj e ct s u b st a n ce s]
Solvent component: Toluene, xylene, etc.
Component of pigment: Hexavalent chromium compounds, lead and its
compounds, etc.
