Project Proposal
Administrative Amendment to DAQE-AN116910013-20 for a Reduction in Air Pollutants under
R307-401-12
Project Description
Mondi Bags USA, LLC (Mondi) has requested to replace their Windmoeller & Hoelscher
Astraflex Printing Press with a Soma Optima 2 Printing Press. Mondi has also requested to
remove the 18 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler emissions from the side-wide potential to emit
(PTE) as the boiler is non-operational. These equipment updates will reduce all site-wide
emissions and qualify for a Reduction in Air Pollutants under R307-401-12.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
No emissions will increase from this equipment replacement. All criteria pollutants are below the modeling
thresholds contained in R307-410-4. All HAP emissions are below their respective emission threshold values
in R307-410-5. Therefore, no modeling is required for this amendment. [Last updated February 22, 2024]

The source initially requested a Replacement-in-Kind to replace the Windmoeller & Hoelscher
Astraflex printing press with a Soma Optima 2 printing press. The new Soma printing press will
have burners with a lower heat input than the printing press it is replacing. This will decrease
combustion emissions from the press. However, the Soma press has a greater printing rate than the
old press, meaning it could have a greater individual PTE for VOCs and HAPs. Since the potential to
emit of the new process equipment is not the same or lower as the old process equipment, this does
not qualify as a Replacement-in-Kind under R307-401-11. However, since site-wide VOC and HAP
emissions are limited by requirement II.B.2.a, they will not increase due to the replacement. Because
the combustion emissions are lower for the new press, site-wide emissions will decrease slightly.
The equipment replacement does not increase the potential to emit of any air pollutant or cause
emissions of any new air pollutant and qualifies as a Reduction in Air Pollutants under R307-401-12.
The Astraflex Printing Press (Condition II.A.3) is replaced by the new Soma Optima 2 Printing
Press. The site-wide emission decreases are a result of the Astraflex having three (3) attached dryers
rated 0.34, 0.42, and 0.85 MMBtu/hr and the Optima 2 only having one burner rated 0.40
MMBtu/hr.
Using AP-42 Tables 1.4-1. 1.4-2, 1.4-3, and 1.4-4, the printing press replacement results in the
following PTE reduction (in tons per year): NOx -0.52, CO -0.44, PM -0.04, VOCs -0.03, HAPs -
0.01, CO2e -628.
The 18 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler (Condition II.A.6) is no longer operational and will not be
used in the future. The non-operational boiler is still on site and listed in the approved equipment list
for informational purposes only. The PTE of the boiler is considered to be zero for all emissions.
Using AP-42 Tables 1.4-1. 1.4-2, 1.4-3, and 1.4-4, the non-operational boiler results in the following
PTE reduction (in tons per year): NOx -7.73, CO -6.49, PM -0.59, SO2 -0.05, VOCs -0.43, HAPs -
0.15, CO2e -9330.00. [Last updated March 12, 2024]
2. Comment regarding HAPs from Combustion Sources:
The previous Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN116910013-20, dated April 23, 2020, did not account
for HAPs from combustion sources. Using AP-42 Tables 1.4-3, and 1.4-4, Generic HAP emissions
were calculated for each combustion source:
18 MMBtu/hr boiler: 0.15 tons per year (TPY).
Dryers for Astraflex Press: 0.01 TPY.
Engineer Review N116910015: Mondi Bags USA, LLC- Salt Lake City Bag Manufacturing Plant
March 12, 2024
Page 8
Dryers for Miraflex Press: 0.01 TPY.
1.675 MMBtu/hr boiler: 0.01 TPY.
Of the 0.18 TPY of HAP emissions that were unaccounted for in the previous AO, 0.15 TPY is
being removed from the non-operational 18 MMBtu/hr boiler and 0.01 TPY is being removed from
the printing press replacement. The net decrease in Generic HAP PTE is 0.16 TPY or 320 lbs/yr. The
Generic HAPs PTE is 0.02 TPY or 40 lbs/yr greater than what was listed in the previous AO. This is
a result of the HAP emissions from the combustion sources now being accurately included in the
AO, not from any change to process, production, or equipment. [Last updated March 12, 2024]
3. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability:
40 CFR 63 (MACT) Subpart KK applies to each new and existing facility at which publication
rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses are
operated at area source of HAPs. The flexographic printing presses at this facility do not meet the
definition of a wide-web flexographic printing press according to this subpart, therefore, this subpart
does not apply.
[Last updated March 12, 2024]
4. Comment regarding Title V Requirements:
Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source
2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act,
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources;
3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants.
4. Any Title IV affected source.
This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR
60 (NSPS), 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP), or 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. There are no other reasons
why this source would be required to obtain a part 70 permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this
facility.

Hi Chris,
My name is Dungan Adams and I work for the Utah Department of Air Quality. I have been working with Jeff Vincent to
replace a printing press for Mondi Bags and update their Approval Order (DAQE-AN116910013-20).
About a week ago I received messages saying that my emails couldn't be delivered to Jeff. I was hoping you could
provide me with a new contact or an updated email address for him. The address I had been using
is jeff.vincent@mondigroup.com
Thanks,

Chris,
Great, thanks. Our compliance department wanted me to ask about the 18 MMBtu/hr boiler on site. The most recent
compliance review from July 2021 states that the boiler was out of service and there were plans to replace it. Can you
provide an update on the status of the boiler?
Thanks,

Okay. Now could be a good opportunity to remove the 18 MMBtu/hr boiler from your Approval Order if you have no plans
to use it or other boilers in the future. I would just need you to confirm that the boiler is no longer on site and then I can
remove it from the equipment list and its emissions from the PTE summary.

I don't think that a visit is necessary--if the boiler is removed from the Approval Order and it isn't actually removed from the
site, then this would be a compliance violation whenever the facility is next inspected.

Hello,
See info below:
1. The burner we use is Eclipse Thermjet TJ040 ( see attachment for data sheet )
Medium/ high velocity max output 400 000 BTU ( 106 kW )
Min output 40 000 BTU ( 11 kW )
Natural gas requirement: Volume 20 Nm3/h
Pressure 50 – 200 mBar
Exhaust: Max volume: 10500 m3/h
Pressure: 250 Pa
Since the machine is water based there is no floor sweep nor Corona on this unit so the max volume of exhausted air is final.
Please find more Installation parameter on page 13 of the technical specification
2. Please see attachment for the concrete pressure points.

Hi Jeff,
I tried multiplying the gas heating power by the volume of exhausted area from the drying
loop and then converting to MMBtu/hr, but this did not lead to a reasonable value. I cannot
confirm this press qualifies for a replacement-in-kind without knowing the size of its combustion
source. If it is not listed in any specification sheet, I would suggest reaching out to the
manufacturer.
Thanks,
Dungan

What is the size of the dryer (in MMBtu/hr) for the Soma Press?
As for the larger printing rate for the new press, this should be okay. The 12-month rolling limits
for VOCs and HAPs in the active Approval Order will remain the same, so you will have to run
the new press at the same rate as the previous press or adjust production rates to keep VOCs
and HAPs below their respective limits.
Thanks,
Dungan

When we received all our printing presses in the facility we used the machine max run rate
for our air quality permit, even though it will never run that speed.
Astraflex is max 1300 fpm and has 3 dryers (gas) for ink and lacquer.
(new) Soma Press is max 2000 fpm with 1 dryer (gas) and NO lacquer. So less emissions.
When installed we will be monitoring our VOC and HAP limits and It will be less than our old

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sending this over. I have two questions:
(1) What are the printing parameters of the new press? Looking at old emission calculations,
I think the Astraflex had an average print speed of 650 fpm and a maximum width of 4.17 ft.
Since you have rolling 12-month VOC and HAP limits in your active Approval Order, the

printing parameters don't have to be identical, but you will have to monitor
production/operation in order to stay in compliance with the condition.
(2) What are the combustion sources for the new press? The Astraflex press has three
dryers rated at 0.34, 0.42, and 0.85 MMBtu/hr which contribute to NOx, CO, and other air
pollutants.
Thanks,

Jeff,
Since you are replacing the Astraflex with a different press, I am going to need emission
calculations or some type of justification that show site-wide emissions will remain
identical or decrease. I'm not sure how emissions were calculated for the plant previously,

but I think the easiest option would be to send me emission calculations for the current
press and the replacement so I can compare the two.
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with emission calculations.

Hi Jeff,
The Utah Division of Air Quality has received your request for a Replacement-in-Kind
for a printing press at the Mondi Bags Salt Lake City Manufacturing Plant. From what I
see in our records, the active approval order for the plant is DAQE-AN116910013-20.
I've attached it below so you can look it over.
Can you please let me know which printing press you are replacing and confirm it is
being replaced by a identical printing press and there will be no changes in any
emissions. Then, I will write up a Replacement-in-Kind letter and you should be all set.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for providing information that shows the combustion source for the new Soma press is smaller than those of the
old Astraflex press.
I am going to update the classification of the project from a Replacement-in-Kind to a Reduction in Air Pollutants. My
reasoning for this is as follows: When looked at individually, the new press technically has a greater potential to emit than
the old press because it has a greater print rate and is capable of producing more VOCs and HAPs. However, since the
overall site-wide VOC and HAP emissions will be limited by the same rolling 12-month totals and the combustion emissions
are lower for the new press, site-wide emissions will decrease slightly.
This change in classification will not affect fees or any other aspect of the project, but I wanted to explain the reasoning for
this change. If you have any questions or concerns, I can provide a greater explanation and point you to the state rules for
Replacement-in-Kind Equipment and Reduction in Air Pollutants.
The project will move along quickly now and I should have the updated permit to you within the next week or so.
Thanks,
Dungan

Hi Jeff,
The Utah Division of Air Quality has received your request for a Replacement-in-Kind for a printing press at the Mondi
Bags Salt Lake City Manufacturing Plant. From what I see in our records, the active approval order for the plant is DAQE-
AN116910013-20. I've attached it below so you can look it over.
Can you please let me know which printing press you are replacing and confirm it is being replaced by a identical printing
press and there will be no changes in any emissions. Then, I will write up a Replacement-in-Kind letter and you should be
all set.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Dungan

Jeff,
Since you are replacing the Astraflex with a different press, I am going to need emission calculations or some type of
justification that show site-wide emissions will remain identical or decrease. I'm not sure how emissions were calculated
for the plant previously, but I think the easiest option would be to send me emission calculations for the current press and
the replacement so I can compare the two.
Let me know if you have any questions or need help with emission calculations.
Thanks,
Dungan

See attached. Tabs are for different years. You can see each month for the astraflex VOC’s that we are removing. We are
also NOT using Laquer on the new press. Just water base ink. And our VOC’s with our new ink supplier is much lower

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sending this over. I have two questions:
(1) What are the printing parameters of the new press? Looking at old emission calculations, I think the Astraflex had an
average print speed of 650 fpm and a maximum width of 4.17 ft. Since you have rolling 12-month VOC and HAP limits in
your active Approval Order, the printing parameters don't have to be identical, but you will have to monitor
production/operation in order to stay in compliance with the condition.
(2) What are the combustion sources for the new press? The Astraflex press has three dryers rated at 0.34, 0.42, and
0.85 MMBtu/hr which contribute to NOx, CO, and other air pollutants.
Thanks,
Dungan

When we received all our printing presses in the facility we used the machine max run rate for our air quality permit, even
though it will never run that speed.
Astraflex is max 1300 fpm and has 3 dryers (gas) for ink and lacquer.
(new) Soma Press is max 2000 fpm with 1 dryer (gas) and NO lacquer. So less emissions.
When installed we will be monitoring our VOC and HAP limits and It will be less than our old Astraflex.

Jeff,
What is the size of the dryer (in MMBtu/hr) for the Soma Press?
As for the larger printing rate for the new press, this should be okay. The 12-month rolling limits for VOCs and HAPs in the
active Approval Order will remain the same, so you will have to run the new press at the same rate as the previous press
or adjust production rates to keep VOCs and HAPs below their respective limits.

Hi Jeff,
I tried multiplying the gas heating power by the volume of exhausted area from the drying loop and then converting to
MMBtu/hr, but this did not lead to a reasonable value. I cannot confirm this press qualifies for a replacement-in-kind
without knowing the size of its combustion source. If it is not listed in any specification sheet, I would suggest reaching out
to the manufacturer.
Thanks,
Dungan

Good morning Allan,
We would like a replacement in kind printing press with a new one due to lack of getting replacement parts. The press
should arrive in a couple months. Modification to DAQE-AN0116910008-10. All criteria pollutants are below the modeling
thresholds and emissions are below their respective emission threshold. Apples for Apples replacement. 😊 can you lead
me in the right direction to get this completed?

Hi Alan,
What is the procedure for replacement in kind? I looked over the R307-401-11 and I'm not exactly sure what is needed as
a written notification. The "apples to apples" replacement would meet the applicability for the rule and nothing would
change in the active AO.
Thanks,

Dungan,
If nothing would change in the current AO, then we would issue a letter stating that we've review the request and that
nothing needs to be updated in the AO and so the source can continue to operate under the existing AO. If the rating is
lower, or if the existing AO has a manufacturer or model number, we would need to update the AO with the new
information. If you have questions about this, please let me know.
Thanks,
