SOURCE INFORMATION
General Description
Rockwell, LLC (Rockwell) is requesting a new AO for an existing composite window well manufacturing
facility in Springville, Utah County. Rockwell uses a manufacturing process that uses polyester resin to
create window wells for the construction market. The manufacturing process includes the use of polyester
resin molds, curing ovens, and sanding and finishing operations.

Project Description
Rockwell was previously operating under UAC R307-401-9, Small Source Exemption, and is expanding
operations. Rockwell uses a manufacturing process that uses polyester resin to create window wells for
the construction market. The manufacturing process includes the use of polyester resin molds, curing
ovens, and sanding and finishing operations.
DAQE-AN158670002-24
Page 4
Raw materials (parts) are measured and loaded into a mold. The mold is closed, and all emissions are
evacuated via a vacuum pump. The part in the mold is then transferred to a curing oven. Once cured, the
part is removed from the mold to be sanded and mounted. As part of the finishing process, an automotive
clear coat is sprayed over the window well.
Emissions from the process primarily come from polyester resin in the production of the window well and
from polyurethane clear coat and adhesive. The emissions from the resin come through vacuum pumps
and are removed from the building by turbines. The emissions from the clear coat and adhesive come
through a spray gun and are removed from the building by turbines. Both are filtered.
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS
The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source. Some
rounding of emissions is possible.

NOTICE
A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah
Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director:
Company Name: Rockwell, LLC
Location: Rockwell, LLC - Springville Window Well Manufacturing – 786 West Spring
Creek Place, Suite #5, Springville, UT
Project Description: Rockwell, LLC (Rockwell) was previously operating under UAC R307-401-9,
Small Source Exemption, and is expanding operations. Rockwell uses a
manufacturing process that uses polyester resin to create window wells for the
construction market. The manufacturing process includes the use of polyester
resin molds, curing ovens, and sanding and finishing operations.
Raw materials (parts) are measured and loaded into a mold. The mold is closed,
and all emissions are evacuated via a vacuum pump. The part in the mold is then
transferred to a curing oven. Once cured, the part is removed from the mold to be
sanded and mounted. As part of the finishing process, an automotive clear coat is
sprayed over the window well.
Emissions from the process primarily come from polyester resin in the
production of the window well and from polyurethane clear coat and adhesive.
The emissions from the resin come through vacuum pumps and are removed
from the building by turbines. The emissions from the clear coat and adhesive
come through a spray gun and are removed from the building by turbines. Both
are filtered.
The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed the proposed project meets
the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to
issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the
effect on local air quality, and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at
the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments
received by the Division at this same address on or before October 25, 2024 will be considered in making
the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be
accepted at cbodell@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of
publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC.
Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or
argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was
supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the
substance and significance of the issue.

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units 1. BACT review regarding New Emission Units
Polyester Resin Mold Stations: The polyester resin mold stations will have the potential to emit styrene, which is a VOC and HAP. The following control technologies have been identified as VOC and HAPs emissions control for
these types of processes: incineration technologies and adsorption technologies. Incineration is not technically feasible due to the low concentration of VOC and HAPs in the vent stream, and manufacturing companies being unable to offer proven incineration technologies for VOC and HAP removal from a resin mold process. Carbon adsorption is technically feasible. Therefore, the use of carbon adsorption filters is considered BACT.
Additionally, using a closed mold compared to open mold methods reduces emissions by as much
as 80%. Therefore, the molds will be closed during molding operations and the emissions will be removed via a vacuum pump. The DAQ considers this and the use of carbon filtration filters to be BACT.
Finishing Paint Booth: The finishing operations that take place within the paint booth will have the potential to emit PM10, PM2.5, VOC, and HAP emissions. Technologies to control PM10 /PM2.5 include electrostatic precipitators (ESP), particulate filters, and high-volume low-pressure (HVLP) spray guns. ESPs are considered technically infeasible for the spray booth as they are most effective on metals and items of high resistivity. Particulate fabric filters remove particulate matter via filtration. HVLP spray guns reduce PM emissions from paint application by increasing paint application efficiency.
HVLP spray guns result in better coverage and less material loss. The paint booth will be equipped with both HVLP spray guns and paint arrestor fabric filters or equivalent to reduce the overspray of clear coat. The filters or equivalent will each have a minimum 95% particulate control
efficiency. All air exiting the paint booth will be required to pass through the filters or equivalent control PM10 and PM2.5 emissions before being vented to the atmosphere. Additionally, the paint booth will be required to comply with a 10% opacity limit. Due to the low emissions of VOCs and HAPs, additional VOC and HAP control would not be cost effective.
UAC R307-342, Adhesives and Sealants, and UAC R307-353, Plastic Parts Coatings, will apply to the coating and finishing operations, which will limit VOC and HAP emissions from the process. The UDAQ considers the controls and measures listed above as BACT for the finishing operations
paint booth. Sanding Operations:
Once the parts are cured, they are sanded. Sanding is done using abrasive disc sanders to grind and smooth the mold parts. Because the sanding is not done via "abrasive blasting", PM10 and PM2.5 emissions are minimal (<0.00001 tpy, each). Due to the low volume of emissions, additional add-on control technologies are not cost-effective. However, Rockwell has elected to collect the dust from the sanding operation using six (6) 20" X 20" X 15" cube filters that are vacuumed out at the end of each shift. Therefore, the use of filters is considered BACT. Natural Gas-Combustion Equipment:
The facility will operate six (6) natural gas-fired curing ovens, each rated at 0.1 MMBtu/hr, as well as various natural gas-fired boilers and heaters each rated 0.24 MMBtu/hr. This equipment is
Engineer Review N158670002: Rockwell, LLC - Springville Window Well Manufacturing September 16, 2024 Page 5
exempt under R307-401-10 as it is "Fuel-burning equipment in which combustion takes place at no greater pressure than one inch of mercury above ambient pressure with a rated capacity of less than
5 MMBtu/hr using no other fuel than natural gas...". Therefore, a BACT analysis is not required for this equipment. [Last updated September 12, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Source Emission Estimates and DAQ Acceptance:
The PTE was estimated from the following sources: natural gas combustion equipment (including curing ovens and miscellaneous boilers and heaters), new paint spray booth operations, and new resin molding operations.
Natural Gas Combustions:
Criteria pollutant and HAP emissions from the natural gas combustion equipment were obtained from EPA's AP-42, Fifth Edition emission factors in Section 1.4. GHG emission factors were obtained from 40 CFR 98 Subpart C.
Paint Spray Booth Operations: The PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the paint spray booth coating operations were calculated using the number of spray guns and maximum paint usage or adhesive per spray gun. A transfer efficiency of 65% for spray coating was used, taken from instructions for painting/coating operations emission calculations by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A control efficiency of 95% was applied for the cartridge filter system (or equivalent) controlling the spray coating booths. VOC and HAP emissions from the paint spray booth were estimated based on a mass balance calculation using SDS sheets for the coatings used in the operation.
Resin Molding Operations: The VOC and HAP emissions from the resin molding operations were estimated based on a closed mold process emission factor of 0.02 (Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Guidelines for Calculating Emissions from Polyester Resin Operations, 2019). Assumptions were based on using the "closed mold" technique and a maximum styrene content of 40% for the polyester resin. Emissions were based on a projected usage of 1,260,000 lbs of resin usage annually and a total of 4,400 hours of operation, annually. Sanding/Cutting Operations: Rockwell uses disc sanders to smooth down the final product. While this method results in less emissions than the "abrasive blasting" sanding method, AP-42 Section 13.2.6 Abrasive Blasting was used to determine emissions. Abrasive blasting controlled with a filter
results in 0.69 lbs of PM per 1,0000 lbs of abrasive used. Disc sanders are essentially sheets of sand paper, and thus have minimal weight. Total use of disc sanders was estimated to equate approximately 6 lbs annually. The corresponds to 0.0041 lb PM per year, or 0.000002 tpy of PM. [Last updated September 10, 2024] 2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability: The UDAQ has identified no applicable NSPS and MACT standards for this manufacturing process. [Last updated September 4, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Title V Applicability: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act applies to the following:
1. Any major source
Engineer Review N158670002: Rockwell, LLC - Springville Window Well Manufacturing September 16, 2024 Page 11
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 another 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, Title IV source, or subject to a standard under Sections 111 or 112 of the Act. 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. [Last updated August 27, 2024]

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TensorGrip P322 is an aggressive and fast-drying pressure sensitive adhesive designed to bond to a vast range of
substrates and maintain tackiness.
ADVANTAGES
• Very fast drying
• Long lasting high tack (pressure sensitive)
• Moisture and weather-resistant bond
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
• TensorGrip P322 is designed as a portable, self-
contained spray system for field or shop applications.
• Apply adhesive to one or both surfaces to be mated, at
80% to 100% coverage.
• Allow enough time (2-4 minutes or until dry to the touch)
for the adhesive to become tacky before bonding.
• Parts should be mated with as much pressure as
practical.
• Normal coverage required with web spray pattern is
approximately 80%; however, porous surfaces may
need a second coat. Initial bond is strong enough to
allow cutting or trimming immediately, although ultimate
strength is achieved in 1-3 days.
• Canister system will spray adequately above 60º F.
Canister system should be kept in warm area. In the
event that the canister gets abnormally chilled, freezes or
gives poor or sputtering spray, it should be warmed up
before continued usage. Warming canister by immersion
in warm water is recommended.
• Notice!!! Do not store at temperatures over 120º F.
CANISTER STORAGE/CHANGE OVER
• If you choose to leave the hose and spray gun on the
canister, leave the valve on the canister open. Do not
disconnect the hose/gun from the canister. Close and
lock the spray gun.
• To change or disconnect canister: turn canister valve
to the off position, spray out remaining adhesive left
in the hose, disconnect the spray hose and gun from
the canister.
• Reconnect the spray hose to a new canister of
adhesive. OR if you are NOT connecting to a new
canister, connect hose to canister of cleaning solvent
(sold separately) and spray out until liquid is clear
which indicates that the hose and gun is clean.

Notice of Intent
Application
Appendix A
Process Description
(See attached flow diagram) First, raw materials are kitted and measured to the
correct quantity for the product being made. Then the raw materials are loaded into
a mold, and the mold is closed and evacuated via a vacuum pump. After the part has
cured, the part is removed from the mold. The part must then be sanded and
mounting holes drilled into it using pneumatic tools. Finally, an automotive clear
coat is sprayed over the well to give it additional UV protection. The molding
methods and application of clear coat are proprietary and considered confidential.
Emissions from the process come from polyester resin and catalyst in the
production of the window well and from polyurethane clear coat. The emissions
from the resin come through vacuum pumps and are removed from the building by
turbines. The emissions from the clear coat come through a spray gun and are
removed from the building by turbines. Both are filtered.

Principle Emission:
Styrene from processing Polynt Composites’ 0408086-DT STYPOL 040-8086 using a “closed mold”
technique.
This product ranges from 36 to 40% styrene.
The industry-based emission factor from a closed mold process is 0.02.
Based on: http://www.aqmd.gov/docs/default-source/planning/annual-emission-
reporting/guidelines-for-calculating-emissions-from-polyester-resin-operations.pdf
There are 6 molds that can be operated at one time.
Each mold can consume up to 1050 pounds of resin in a day.
1050 X 40% = 420; 420 X 0.02 = 8.4 pounds of styrene emissions a day.
Rockwell, LLC is projected to consume 490,000 pounds of resin in 2024 with a total throughput of
emissions of:
490,000 X 40% = 196,000; 248,000 X 0.02 = 3920

Appendix G
Best technologies for the polyester resin and catalyst:
Rockwell already employs the best technology available for reducing emissions by utilizing closed mold
technology. Closed mold compared to the normal open mold methods used by other composite
manufacturers throughout the state reduces emissions by as much as 80%.
(http://compositesmanufacturingmagazine.com/2011/05/open-book-adopting-closed-molding/)
Maintaining Rockwell’s closed molds cost $105,670 in 2023 which reduces Rockwell’s emissions by 18,800
pounds that year.
$105,670 / 18,800 pounds = $5.62 per pound
In an ongoing effort to have the lowest emission possible, Rockwell has done comprehensive research to
understand what other steps may be taken. Two approaches have been identified. One is to use materials
that emit lower volatile organic compounds. The other is to use further emission reduction technology.
After extensive testing and research, Rockwell has found that using reinforced thermoplastics (including
products like Polystrand, Glass-mat Thermoplastics (GMT), and Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastics(DLFT)) offer
the benefit of reduced emissions. However, the surface finish of such products lack the cosmetic appeal
Rockwell is famous for. It may be possible to replace up to 60% of the polyester resin with this product.
After extensive prototyping, testing, and market analysis, DLFT had the best combined advantages of reduced
emissions, strength, and cosmetics. The equipment (including extruders and presses) needed to process
reinforced thermoplastics is estimated to cost over 4 million dollars in upfront costs and $130,000 a year in
ongoing costs. Because of Rockwell’s lack of capital to achieve this for the next several years this operation
has been outsourced to Puebla, Mexico. Rockwell has purchased 4 molds and a welding cell for
$2,343,613.42. Some of the ongoing costs are known and some are estimated, but it is believed to be about
$18,000 per year. If a 10-year horizon and the average of 7,500 pounds of styrene a year is used (based on
sales projections for the next 3 years), the cost per pound of styrene removal would be:
$2,343,613.42 / 10 years = $234,361,34 + $18,000 = $234361.34 / 7,500 pounds X 60% = 4,500 pounds =
$52.08 per pound.
After two pilot launches, Rockwell lunched the Denali product made, from DLFT, to the entire country and
Canada in June of 2024. This is expected to drive down the production of the polyester based product, but we
are hopeful that we can grow both products in the long term. As sales volume increases with this new
product the cost of emission reduction will get better.
Technologies that remove styrene from air are limited and not widely used. The most popular are absorption
in sacrificial medium and incineration. The best writing found during research came from the following web
page:
http://www.plasticseurope.org/Documents/Document/20100308111848-
EnglishCEFICpdf9Styreneabatementtechniques-20050913-002-EN-v1.pdf
Rockwell was unable to locate anyone offering incineration capability or expertise on a scale that made sense
for current or future production size and techniques. Companies like Eco Incinerator or Incinco Incinerators
lack expertise in the field of styrene removal and did not know if it would work.
The only technology, which was found to have a known track record of styrene removal, was using carbon
filtration as a sacrificial medium. Attached is the leading quote provider to Rockwell from Sentry Air Systems,
Inc. The up-front costs for one of these units, installed, was $8,679 in 2021 and would likely be $1,000 to
$3,000 more now.
Rockwell purchased two T4500 Industrial Air Cleaners for $13,036 in 2019 and then 2 additional units
October of 2021 for $17,358. The ongoing cost of replacement carbon filtration and disposal has been
$1,558.00 for the last 12 months. Each unit costs $389.50 per year. From lab analysis of the carbon after it
has been replaced, each unit is believed to remove 60 - 80 pounds of styrene a year. If the unit last 5 years on
this cost structure, the cost of styrene removal per pound would be:
$8,679.00 / 5 = $1,735.80 + $389.50 = $2,125.30 / 60 pounds = $35.42 per pound
Best technologies for polyurethane clear coat:
Similar technologies exist to remove the VOCs from the air emitted from the polyurethane clear coat;
however, these are much more commonly used. Some of the exact equipment quoted by Sentry Air Systems
could be used for this application. Sentry has experience dealing with polyurethane paints and offers test
data on removal rates, found on the web site:
https://www.sentryair.com/data.htm
Because of the reduced volume upfront costs would be lower, around $10,000 to $16,000, and ongoing cost
would represent only replacement filters because once the polyurethane becomes a solid it will no longer
emit VOCs. The ongoing cost would be from $700 to $1,200 annually.
Rockwell currently uses fiberglass filters to capture solids from the clear coat. These filters are replaced on a
change schedule that relies on a manometer, but on average it is about once a month. The exact amount of
emission reduction is unknown. Rockwell has spent $2,148.00 over the last 12 months on filters.

RockWell, LLC Notice of Intent Application
Appendix A Process Description (See attached flow diagram) First, raw materials are kitted and measured to the correct quantity for the product being made. Then the raw materials are loaded into a mold, and the mold is closed and evacuated via a vacuum pump. After the part has cured, the part is removed from the mold. The part must then be sanded and mounting holes drilled into it using pneumatic tools. Finally, an automotive clear coat is sprayed over the well to give it additional UV protection. The molding methods and application of clear coat are proprietary and considered confidential. Emissions from the process come from polyester resin and catalyst in the production of the window well and from polyurethane clear coat. The emissions from the resin come through vacuum pumps and are removed from the building by turbines. The emissions from the clear coat come through a spray gun and are removed from the building by turbines. Both are filtered. Raw Materials Used and Annual Usage 2017 to 2021 The following raw materials are used: Material Manufacturer Purpose DX 040-8086 RTM Resin* Polynt Composites USA Resin used as main component NOROX AZOX* United Initiators, Inc. Catalyst to harden resin Rovicore Fiberglass Matt Chomarat Reinforcements Fibers to give strength to resin Econotac 2 Spray adhesive* Airtech International, Inc. Keeps fiberglass in place Nonwoven Polyester Veil Freudenberg Performance Materials Provides cosmetic skin Polyethylene Foam Various Manufactures To provide “I beam” effect which adds strength at minimal costs PC-77731-DM Paint Related Pigment American Colors Tinting for resin Polyurethane Clearcoat - Flat Axalta Coating Systems, LLC UV Protection * See attached Safety Data Sheets Operation Schedules and Production Rates
Rockwell’s production rates are cyclical and tend to be greatest in spring and summer. These rates are also increaing over time over the last 15 years. However, the last 30 months have been much more volitale.
Equipment Used in Process The equipment used in the manufacturing of window wells includes in-house built molds and various pneumatic and electric hand tools. To aid in curing 6, Superior Radiant Products, SD09N, 99,000 BTU radiant heaters are used.

Best technologies for the polyester resin and catalyst:
Rockwell already employs the best technology available for reducing emissions by u-lizing closed
mold technology. Closed mold compared to the normal open mold methods used by other composite
manufacturers throughout the state reduces emissions by as much as 80%. (hUp://
compositesmanufacturingmagazine.com/2011/05/open-book-adop-ng-closed-molding/)
Maintaining Rockwell’s closed molds cost $71,850 in 2018 which reduces Rockwell’s emissions by
20,000 pounds a year.
$71,850 / 20,000 pounds = $3.59 per pound
In an ongoing effort to have the lowest emission possible, Rockwell has done comprehensive
research to understand what other steps may be taken. Two approaches have been iden-fied. One is
to use materials that emit lower vola-le organic compounds. The other is to use further emission
reduc-on technology.
Ajer extensive tes-ng and research, Rockwell has found that using reinforced thermoplas-cs
(including products like Polystrand) may offer the best reduc-on to emissions. However, the surface
finish of such products lack the cosme-c appeal Rockwell is famous for. It may be possible to replace
up to 60% of the polyester resin with this product. The equipment (including molds, ovens, and
presses) needed to process reinforced thermoplas-cs is es-mated to cost $950,000 in up front costs
and $30,000 a year in ongoing costs. If a 10-year horizon and the average of 7,500 pounds of styrene
a year is used, the cost per pound of styrene removal would be:
$950,000 / 10 years = $95,000 + $30,000 = $125,000 / 7,500 pounds X 60% = 4,500 pounds = $27.78
per pound.
Rockwell will con-nue to do research and is currently working with vendors to prove out materials
that have lower emissions. Rockwell has the goal of switching over to such a material by 2023.
Technologies that remove styrene from air are limited and not widely used. The most popular are
absorp-on in sacrificial medium and incinera-on. The best wri-ng found during research came from
the following web page:
hUp://www.plas-cseurope.org/Documents/Document/20100308111848-
EnglishCEFICpdf9StyreneabatemenUechniques-20050913-002-EN-v1.pdf
Rockwell was unable to locate anyone offering incinera-on capability or exper-se on a scale that
made sense for current or future produc-on size and techniques. Companies like Eco Incinerator or
Incinco Incinerators lack exper-se in the field of styrene removal and did not know if it would work.
The only technology, which was found to have a known track record of styrene removal, was using a
carbon filtra-on as a sacrificial medium. Rockwell has purchased 2 T4500 Industrial Air Cleaners for
$13,036. Ajer analysis of 4 samples, it has been found that the carbon needs to be changed out
every 6 months. From the sampling the lab has es-mated that the carbon has removed 0.15 - 0.18
pounds of styrene for every pound of carbon. Between the 2 units, there is 100 pounds of carbon.
That would mean that every year the carbon is removing from 30 to 36 pounds of styrene. The
carbon cost $3.22 per pound. Rockwell hired Mitch Haycock to study the waste stream of the carbon.
He found that the carbon could be disposed with normal solid waste resul-ng in negligible costs.
Assuming that the units last 5 years and need minimal maintenance, the total cost of styrene removal
using this method is:
$13,036 / 5 = $2,607 + $322 = $2,929 / 33 pounds = $88.76 per pound
Rockwell hoped this would be a more economical method of removing styrene. At this point, it would
appear the Polystrand offers a more impacnul, efficient way of reducing styrene.
Best technologies for polyurethane clear coat and hardener:
Similar technologies exist to remove the VOCs from the air emiUed from the polyurethane clear coat;
however these are much more commonly used. Some of the exact equipment quoted by Sentry Air
Systems could be used for this applica-on. Sentry has experience dealing with polyurethane paints
and offers test data on removal rates, found on the web site:
hUps://www.sentryair.com/data.htm
Because of the reduced volume upfront costs would be lower, around $10,000 to $16,000, and
ongoing cost would represent only replacement filters because once the polyurethane becomes a
solid it will no longer emit VOCs. The ongoing cost would be from $700 to $1,200 annually.

Relevance of NAAQS, SIP, NSPS, NESHAP Rockwell emissions:
From researching informa-on from the E.P.A., Utah Department of Air Quality, S.D.S.s
and reputable informa-on on-line, Rockwell believes there are no emissions of lead,
nitrogen dioxide, ozone, or suffer dioxide produced. However, Rockwell creates carbon
monoxide emissions from the use of natural gas in hea-ng systems. Rockwell rou-nely
maintains this equipment, so emissions are kept to a minimum. Rockwell u-lizes carbon
monoxide monitors throughout the plant, and these monitors have never sounded and
alarm or had a posi-ve reading. Rockwell also creates par-cle pollu-on by sanding and
cusng of materials. These processes all have air filtra-on currently in place.
Measurements have not been taken to quan-fy the effec-veness of this filtra-on.
According to the State of Utah's State Implementa-on Plan, Utah County has reach
NAAQS standards from 1994 on, through the State of Utah's maintenance efforts and
the 1991 S.I.P.'s environmental controls.
hUps://deq.utah.gov/Laws_Rules/daq/sip/docs/2016/01Jan/IX.A.

Rockwell believes that the New Source Performance Standards and Permisng
Requirements and Asbestos Na-onal Emissions for Hazardous Air Pollutants do not
pertain to both Rockwell's size or industry.
Rockwell further believes that it may increased emissions according to expected growth
of the company and not violate the NAAQS, State of Utah's SIP, NSPS, or NESHAP.

The only technology, which was found to have a known track record of styrene removal, was using a carbon
filtration as a sacrificial medium. Attached is the leading quote provider to Rockwell from Sentry Air Systems,
Inc. The up-front costs of this system would likely be in the $20,000 to $40,000 range. Ongoing costs have not
been determined. The best supposition is that Rockwell would replace 3 filters 12 times a year and that each
filter would contain about 77.8 pounds of styrene. ETA Environmental and Univar were unable to provide a
quote on the proper disposal of the filters without having an existing waste stream to analyze.
Rockwell will purchase 2 T4500 Industrial Air Cleaners for $13,036. The ongoing cost of replacement carbon
filtration and disposal has been estimated at $380.00 a month. Each unit is projected to remove 500 pounds
of styrene a year. If the unit last 5 years on this cost structure, the cost of styrene removal per pound would
be:
$13,036 / 5 = $2,607 + $4,560 = $7,167 / 1,000 pounds = $7.17 per pound
Rockwell plans to buy 2 more units per year provided the cost and benefit are proven out.

In an ongoing effort to have the lowest emission possible, Rockwell has done comprehensive research to

The only technology, which was found to have a known track record of styrene removal, was using a carbon

Filter Technologies. The up-front costs of this system, including shipping and installation, were $9,179.12
each for a total of $36,716.48. Ongoing costs are $1,960 per year. This includes power, carbon, and filters.
Hydrosil’s lab estimated that each pound of carbon absorbed from 0.15 to 0.18 pounds of styrene based on
changing the carbon out twice a year. Each unit holds 50 pounds of carbon. This is a total of 400 pounds of
carbon used. At 0.165 pounds of styrene removed, a total of 66 pounds are removed each year. If the unit
lasts 5 years on this cost structure, the cost of styrene removal per pound would be:
$36,716.48 / 5 = $7,343 + $1,960 = $9,303 / 66 pounds = $140.96 per pound
Best technologies for polyurethane clear coat and hardener:

data on removal rates, found on the web site:
https://www.sentryair.com/data.htm
Rockwell has utilized two methods of producing VOCs from the polyurethane clear coat. The first method is
using fiberglass filtration the traps a percentage of the clear coat and allows it to solidify. The second method
is to use a water-based polyurethane that has less VOC's.
The water-based polyurethane emits 40% less VOCs than the previous oil-based polyurethane. In 2021, that
represents over 180 pounds of VOCs which cost an additional $9,193.30 compared to the oil-based clear
coat.
$9,193.30 / 180 pounds = $51.07 per pound
There is not a consistent, published percentage of VOCs that are removed by fiberglass filtration, but the
number is assumed to be under 20%.
Using 10%, in 2021, that would have represented about 27 pounds of VOCs. We spent $2,806.30 on filters in
2021.
$2,806.30 / 27 pounds = $103.94 per pound
Although there are other methods to try the volumes of polyurethane clear coat make most of them cost
prohibited. At this time there are no plans for further reduction.

[3]Rockwell purchased two T4500 Industrial Air Cleaners for $13,036 in 2019 and then 2 additional unitsOctober of 2021 for $17,358. The ongoing cost of replacement carbon filtration and disposal has been$1,558.00 for the last 12 months. Each unit costs $389.50 per year. From lab analysis of the carbon after ithas been replaced, each unit is believed to remove 60 - 80 pounds of styrene a year.
[4]Taken from UDAQ's HAP air dispersion modeling guidance. Styrene TLV for vertically unrestricted releases less than 50 m from the property line used.
