PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA) is a secured pharmaceutical
manufacturer focused on transdermal products and patches,
including nicotine patches, lidocaine patches, and hormone
therapy patches. Coater Dryer Laminators (CDLs) are used in
transdermal patch production. CDLs process vessels of casting
solutions that are pressurized with nitrogen gas. The pressure
moves the casting solution to the metering pumps which
dispense solutions through extruders. Products are packaged
onsite prior to shipment.
TEVA operates three 300,000 Btu/hour Catalytic Thermal
Oxidizers (CTOs) for its processes, and one smaller CTO in its
R&D process. The CTOs have a 97 percent destruction
efficiency (DRE). TEVA also operates two 10.5 MMBtu/hr
boilers, three 9 MMBtu/hr boilers, two 5.86 MMBtu/hr boilers,
and three emergency generators.

SECTION II: SPECIAL PROVISIONS
II.B REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
II.B.1 Site-Wide Requirements II.B.1.a The owner/operator shall comply with all applicable requirements in R307-325 and R307-344. [R307-325, R307-401-8] R307-325 Ozone Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas Status: In Compliance. During this inspection, there were no open containers or spills observed onsite. R307-344 Paper, Film, or Foil Coatings Records shall include, but are not limited to, inventory and product data sheets of all coatings and solvents subject to R307-344.
Status: In compliance. The Catalytic Thermal Oxidizers (CTOs) are serviced by the Coating Dryer Laminator (CDL) equipped with VOC sensors to shut off if the CTO is not operating. The CTOs are part of the coded recipe for products containing VOC-emitting chemicals. The CTOs are attached to three CDLs solvent-based mixtures; the 1165 CDL, the 1170 CDL, and the 1171 CDL. The CDL will not start until the CTO has reached the required operating temperature. The CDLs apply the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)-based coating on the patches. The CDLs producing water-based products do not require the CTO to be in operation. Teva Pharmaceuticals maintains a 12-month record of the amount of solvent applied in the coatings. The VOCs in the solvent include ethyl acetate and vinyl acetate, and the emissions are routed through the CTO which has a 97% DRE. See the lbs/lbs record in the email attachment.
According to the NOI document, VOC and HAP emission factors for CDL machines assume a 97% emission reduction from the Catalytic Oxidizer Control Systems. See the attachment for additional information.
According to TEVA, the operating temperature of the CTOs is greater than 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and the CDL is programmed to not be able to start until the CTOs reach 600 degrees Fahrenheit. If the CTO temperature drops below 600 degrees Fahrenheit, the CDL shuts down.
6
To ensure that the CTOs operate as designed to meet the desired DRE of 97%, TEVA conducts an Annual Burner Safety Evaluation of CTOs, an Annual Operation Inspection Evaluation of CDL4 Zone 1, and Zone 3, and also conducts a Semi-Annual PM Efficiency Readings to determine the burn efficiency rate of the Catox. If the burn efficiency drops below 75.5%, the Catox is taken out of service and a new catalyst is installed. See the attachment for additional information.
II.B.1.b The owner/operator shall not allow visible emissions from any point or fugitive emission source subject to this AO to exceed 10% opacity. [R307-401-8] II.B.1.b.1 Opacity observations of emissions from stationary sources shall be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. Visible emissions from intermittent sources shall use procedures similar to Method 9, but the requirement for observations to be made at 15-second intervals over a six-minute period shall not apply. Any time interval with no visible emissions shall not be included. [R307-305-3] Status: In Compliance. There were no visible emissions observed from any point or fugitive emission source during this inspection. The opacity observations were conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. II.B.1.c The owner/operator shall install and maintain sensors to shut off each CDL on all CDLs in the manufacturing plant at 575 Chipeta Way. The sensors shall shut off the CDL if the Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer is not operating. [R307-401-8] Status: In Compliance. TEVA has installed and maintained sensors to shut off each CDL if the Catalytic Thermal Oxidizer is not operating. According to TEVA, “The Catalytic Thermal Oxidizers (CTOs) are serviced by Coating Dryer Laminator (CDL) equipped with VOC sensors to shut off if the CTO is not operating. The CTOs are part of the coded recipe for products containing VOC-emitting chemicals. The CDL will not start operation until the oxidizer has reached operating temperature. The oxidizer is initially heated using natural gas and when at operating temperature will allow the CDL to start processing solvent-based materials. If the oxidizer faults / stops running the CDL coded logic shuts down the CDL and will not allow it to restart until the oxidizer is back fully operational and has reached the correct operating temperature.” “The solvent-based matrix patch production on the CDLs are controlled by the CTOs and operate continuously during solvent-based matrix patch production. The CDL will not run if the CTO is not in operation. The recipe is coded to shut down the CDL if the CTO faults or fails. See above.”
If a CDL is producing water-based products, the CTO that services that specific CDL need not operate during that period of water-based production. “The CDLs producing water-based products operating with the CTO that services the specific CDL for aqueous based products that run on the CDLs the CTO is not used. The software coded recipe for each aqueous product/operation does not command the CTO to be operational like when processing solvent based products.”

C. The density of each material used
D. The volume of each VOC- and HAP-emitting material used
E. The amount of VOCs and the amount of each HAP emitted from each material
F. The amount of VOCs and the amount of each HAP reclaimed and/or controlled
from each material
8
G. The total amount of VOCs, the total amount of each HAP, and the total amount
of all HAPs combined emitted from all materials (in tons)
[R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. TEVA uses a mass-balance method to calculate
emissions from evaporative sources and keeps records of VOCs and HAPs as
required by this AO Condition.
II.B.2.b The owner/operator shall use the Thermal Oxidizer to capture and contain the emissions
from the R&D CDL. [R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. TEVA uses the Thermal Oxidizer which has a 97%
destruction efficiency to capture and contain emissions from the R&D CDL.
II.B.2.c The owner/operator shall control emissions from each CDL with a Catalytic Thermal
Oxidizer at all times except times when a CDL is producing water-based products.
During water-based production, the CDL may operate without a catalytic thermal
oxidizer. [R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. TEVA controls emissions from each CDL with a Catalytic
Thermal Oxidizer which has a 97% destruction efficiency at all times, except times
when a CDL is producing water-based products, and does not require a catalytic
thermal oxidizer.
II.B.2.c.1 The owner/operator may use the following equations to determine emission totals after
control.
VOCs = [VOCs determined by mass-balance method] x [1 - 97%]
HAP = [HAP determined by mass-balance method] x [1 - 97%].
[R307-401-8]
Status: In Compliance. The emissions are calculated using the formulas provided.
II.B.3 EMERGENCY ENGINE REQUIREMENTS
II.B.3.a The owner/operator shall not operate each emergency engine on site for more than 100
hours per rolling 12-month period during non-emergency situations. There is no time
limit on the use of the engines during emergencies. [R307-401-8, 40 CFR 63 Subpart
