Project Description
Sterigenics has requested a modification to the natural gas-fired emergency generator and additional
research and development (R&D) equipment. Additional R&D equipment includes the addition of a new
chamber (Chamber 18) and an EtO Abator for Chamber 18. This will result in an increase in site-wide
PTE of criteria pollutants but no increase in EtO emissions.
Additionally, Sterigenics requested to install new fugitive ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions controls and
associated supporting equipment. A new permanent enclosure will create a negative pressure
environment and send all EtO emissions through an additional Advanced Air Technologies (AAT) dry
bed scrubber before exiting through a new single stack. This change will convert existing fugitive
emissions to point-source emissions and direct them through a control system. Condition II.B.3.a
replaces the previous stack heights with the new singular stack requirement as requested by the source.
To comply with the requirements of R307-401-12(1)(b), the new equipment has been added to the
equipment list. The changes will be as follows:
One (1) new permanent enclosure. (All treated EtO exhaust from the facility will be routed through a
new single stack.)
One (1) Lunaire Model CEO-932W-4 0.33 m3 pre-conditioning chamber and one (1) Steris Model
M71GA2 0.42 m3 aeration chamber are provided for informational purposes only.
Additional administrative changes include:
Removal of Condition II.B.1.b. This condition requires personal EtO detection monitors, which ensure
employee exposure is below OSHA standards. However, indoor pollution is not regulated under the
Clean Air Act and therefore not relevant to this AO.
Removal of Item II.A.22, the Nitrogen Dioxide Sterilizer.
SUMMARY OF EMISSIONS
The emissions listed below are an estimate of the total potential emissions from the source. Some
rounding of emissions is possible.

Project Proposal
Minor Modification to Approval Order DAQE-AN104350030-21 to Add Research and
Development Equipment and an Emergency Generator
Project Description
Sterigenics has requested a modification to natural gas fired emergency generator and additional
research and development (R&D) equipment. Additional R&D equipment includes the addition
of a new chamber (Chamber 18) and an EtO Abator for Chamber 18. This will result in an
increase in site-wide PTE of criteria pollutants but no increases in EtO emissions.
Additionally, Sterigenics requested to install new fugitive ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions
controls and associated supporting equipment. A new permanent enclosure will create a negative
pressure environment and send all EtO emissions through an additional Advanced Air
Technologies (AAT) dry bed scrubber before exiting through a new single stack. This change will
convert existing fugitive emissions to point source emissions and direct them through a control
system. Condition II.B.3.a replaces the previous stack heights with the new singular stack
requirement as requested by the source.
To comply with the requirements of R307-401-12(1)(b) the new equipment has been added to the
equipment list. The changes will be as follows:
One new permanent enclosure. (All treated EtO exhaust from the facility will be routed through a
new single stack)
One Lunaire Model CEO-932W-4 0.33 m3 pre-conditioning chamber and one (1) Steris Model

M71GA2 0.42 m3 aeration chamber provided for informational purposes only.
Additional administrative changes include:
Removal of Condition II.B.1.b. This condition requires personal EtO detection monitors which
ensure employee exposure is below OSHA standards. However, indoor pollution is not regulated
under the Clean Air Act and therefore not relevant to this AO.
Removal of Item II.A.22, the Nitrogen Dioxide Sterilizer.
EMISSION IMPACT ANALYSIS
All criteria pollutants are below the modeling thresholds contained in R307-410-4. All HAP pollutant increases
are below their respective threshold values in R307-410-5. The source is subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart O,
and R307-410-5(a)(i) exempts the source from modeling ethylene oxide. Therefore, no modeling is required
from this source. [Last updated January 31, 2024]

Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding New Emergency Engine
The 240 hp natural gas fired engine will increase CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC emissions.
Possible controls include a NSCR, use of low-sulfur fuels, and best operating practices.
The total increase in PTE is less than 0.05 tons/per year for each above-listed pollutants. As such it
is economically infeasible to install add-on control equipment. BACT for the engine is limited
hours of operation, good combustion practices, compliance with NSPS Subpart JJJJ and MACT
Subpart ZZZZ, and the use of pipeline quality natural gas. [Last updated February 14, 2024]

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emissions Estimates:
Emission Increases:
Emissions from the new emergency generator engine were calculated using emission factors from
the manufacturers spreadsheet (VOC: 0.96, NOx: 1.45, and CO: 1.36 g/hp-hr), AP-42 Section 3.4
Table 3.2-3 (SO2, PM10, and PM2.5 and HAPS) and from 40 CFR 98, Tables C-1 and C-2 for GHG
emissions.
Emission Reductions:
Ethylene oxide emissions were estimated using the following mass balance assumptions:
94.95% of the ethylene oxide used is emitted through the sterilization chamber vacuum pumps.
4% of ethylene oxide used is emitted through the aeration room exhaust.
1% of ethylene oxide used is emitted through the back vents.
0.05% ethylene oxide used is emitted through fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions are considered
emissions that exhaust through the Chamber Room Ventilation Vents. The new system will capture
and control these emissions.
The new enclosure will operate under negative pressure and vent all EtO emissions through the new
AAT dry bed scrubber. The control efficiency was estimated using the minimum required reduction
in 40 CFR 63 Subpart O (99%) and an annual usage of 420,600 lbs of EtO. The new calculation
incorporates previously fugitive emissions. [Last updated February 14, 2024]
2. Comment regarding AAT Monitoring note:
There are no proposed changes to monitoring. The source uses gas chromatography to monitor the
AAT adsorber exhaust. This is not a continuous emissions monitoring (CEM) system. The system is
in place to ensure ongoing compliance with MACT Subpart O.
[Last updated February 14, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Stack Testing :
The AAT scrubber system will continue to be stack tested with the same constraints as previously
required. [Last updated October 26, 2023]
Engineer Review N104350031: Sterigenics US, LLC- Ethylene Oxide Commercial Sterilization Plant
March 19, 2024
Page 16
4. Comment regarding MACT Applicability:
40 CFR 63 MACT Subpart O: Ethylene Oxide Standards for Sterilization Facilities. Sterilization
sources that use more than one (1) ton of ethylene oxide in sterilization or fumigation operations are
subject to this subpart. Therefore, this facility is subject to MACT Subpart O. This subpart requires
the sterilization chamber vent and the aeration room vent reduce ethylene oxide emissions to the
atmosphere by 99%.
40 CFR 63 MACT Subpart FFFF: Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing. The source does
not manufacture ethylene oxide; therefore, MACT Subpart FFFF does not apply to this facility.
[Last updated January 31, 2024]
5. Comment regarding Title V Applicability :
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. This facility is not subject to 40 CFR
60 (NSPS) or 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP). The source is subject to 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations.
MACT Subpart O exempts this facility from obtaining a 40 CFR part 70 permit due to the facility
being an area source. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a 40
CFR part 70 permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this source. [Last updated January 31, 2024]
6. Comment regarding Change in conditions:
This project involves the following changes:
1. The existing individual stacks are being consolidated into a single combined stack. The new stack
has an increased stack height of 60 feet above grade.
2. New emergency equipment is added to the equipment list.
3. An existing nitrogen dioxide sterilizer unit which is no longer in use has been removed from the
equipment list. This unit is no longer located at the site.
4. Language regarding method 204 has been removed from the permit as this language is only
applicable to physical design of the capture system, and is not related to actual emissions of EtO -
these emissions are controlled under Subpart O which is still included in the permit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sterigenics US, LLC (Sterigenics) owns and operates the ethylene oxide sterilization facility located at 5725
Harold Gatty Dr, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah. The facility has sterilization chambers of various
sizes used to sterilize medical devices and other products using gaseous ethylene oxide. The process
emissions are vented through packed bed scrubbers. The facility also includes two (2) water tube boilers.
Sterigenics operates under Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN104350030-21 issued by the Utah Division of Air
Quality (UDAQ). The plant is an existing minor source for all pollutants and subject to the Maximum
Achievable Control Technology (MACT) programs.
Sterigenics is submitting this Notice of Intent (NOI) air permit application to the UDAQ for the plant to
obtain an updated air quality AO. Sterigenics is proposing to upgrade their current facility to include state of
the art emission control for fugitive ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions and add miscellaneous supporting
equipment. The proposed fugitive EtO emission control will include adding a permanent total enclosure per
EPA Method 204 and routing all captured emissions to a new Advanced Air Technologies (AAT) dry bed
scrubber. The existing Ceilcote and AAT wet acid scrubbers exhaust streams will also be routed to the new
dry bed scrubber for polishing, creating a single stack for all controlled EtO emissions. The proposed
modification will result in a net decrease in EtO emissions.
The support equipment includes a natural gas fired emergency generator and additional research and
development (R&D) equipment. This addition to the facility will contribute to emissions of criteria pollutants,
namely particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10), PM with an
aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 or less (PM2.5), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon
monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Hazardous air pollutant (HAP) and greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions will also be increased by the planned support equipment. The potential to emit (PTE)
increase in this NOI air permit application is: 1.9x10-3 tons per year (tpy) for PM10, 1.9x10-3 tpy for PM2.5,
0.04 tpy for NOX, 0.04 tpy for CO, 5.74x10-5 tpy for SO2, 0.05 tpy for VOCs, 0.02 tpy for HAPs, and 11.44
tpy for GHGs.
The proposed modification will include the following equipment and operations:
► One EPA Method 204 permanent total enclosure
► One (1) AAT dry bed scrubber
► One (1) natural gas-fired emergency generator engine
► Update R&D sterilization equipment
► Removal of the nitrogen dioxide sterilizer from the AO
The plant is located within an area of Salt Lake County that is classified as attainment for all pollutants with
exception to the following: (1) PM2.5, for which it is classified as a serious nonattainment area of the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS); (2) for the 2015 8-hour Ozone Standard, which is
designated as moderate nonattainment1; and (3) a marginal nonattainment area of SO2. The PM10
nonattainment area was redesignated as attainment by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), effective
as of March 27, 2020.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND PROCESS
Description of Project
The facility has sterilization chambers of various sizes used to sterilize medical devices and other products
primarily using gaseous EtO. Process emissions are vented through packed bed scrubbers with a small
amount escaping as uncontrolled fugitive emissions. For this project, Sterigenics proposes to add capture
and collection technology for fugitive EtO emissions by implementing a permanent total enclosure around
the existing process and routing collected emissions to a new AAT dry bed scrubber. Exhaust from the two
existing scrubbers will also be routed to the AAT dry bed scrubber for redundancy. Controlling fugitive
emissions from EtO sterilization will reduce EtO exposure to employees and the public. The proposed project
represents the best available demonstrated control technology for controlling fugitive emissions from EtO
sterilization facilities. A list of proposed equipment is provided below.
Fugitive Emission Control Equipment
► One (1) Permanent total enclosure.
► One (1) AAT dry bed scrubber system rated at 44,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and 80%
minimum EtO destruction efficiency.
Supporting Equipment
► One (1) 240 horsepower (hp) natural gas fired emergency generator
As part of this permitting action, Sterigenics would like to update the list of permitted equipment in Section
II.A of the AO and applicable conditions in Section II.B. These updates have no impact on potential
emissions and are provided for informational purposes only. A list of AO updates is provided below.
AO Updates
► Remove Item II.A.22, the Nitrogen Dioxide Sterilizer. This equipment has been removed and can be
eliminated from the AO.
► Remove Condition II.B.1.b. This condition refers to the personal EtO detection monitors worn by
employees as a safety measure. These monitors ensure employee exposure is below standards for
occupational health and safety and are not regulated under the Clean Air Act.
► Add the proposed AAT dry bed scrubber to Section II.A. All treated EtO exhaust from the facility will
be routed through a new single stack. See the Design Documents and Specifications Appendix for
stack details.
► Add the natural gas-fired emergency generator to Section II.A.
► Update the R&D sterilizer chamber equipment list in Section II.A. to match the equipment listed in
Table 1. No increase in annual EtO throughput or emissions are proposed with this update.
► One (1) Lunaire Model CEO-932W-4 0.33 m3 pre-conditioning chamber and one (1) Steris Model
M71GA2 0.42 m3 aeration chamber provided for informational purposes only.

Description of Process
EtO sterilization efficiency is based on the four process parameters of EtO concentration, humidity,
temperature, and time. Temperature and humidity must be uniform throughout the product while exposed
to high concentration EtO for an extended time. This is a widely used process for sterilization of healthcare
products and single-use medical devices. The EtO sterilization process consists of three main process steps
of preconditioning, sterilization, and post sterilization aeration.
Product for sterilization is received at the facility on pallets and staged in the warehouse for preconditioning.
During preconditioning, the product is held at a set temperature and humidity for extended time to allow
the product to have uniform characteristics. This allows for better penetration of the EtO into the product
and improves process efficiency. Product is typically preconditioned for a minimum of six (6) hours prior to
entering a sterilization chamber.
The sterilization chamber is set to run on an automated cycle beginning with a leak test of the chamber and
EtO dispensing system to verify integrity of the system and ensure worker safety. Following the leak test,
the chamber is placed under a vacuum and filled with nitrogen creating an inert environment inhibiting EtO
oxidation. Reducing the chamber below atmospheric pressure improves EtO product penetration. EtO is
introduced to the chamber and allowed to penetrate the product for an extended time. Once the product is
sterilized, EtO is rapidly evacuated from the chamber vent via a vacuum pump and routed to the existing
Ceilcote scrubber. Following the vacuum pump evacuation, chamber “back vents” are opened, and chamber
air is pulled through the back vents with a fan to maintain a negative pressure while opening chamber
doors. Sterilization chamber back vents are routed to the existing AAT scrubber. Typical sterilization time is
8-10 hours.
Once sterilized, the product is moved to an aeration chamber to remove residual EtO within the product.
Aeration chambers are held at elevated temperature with rapid air circulation to promote degassing.
Exhaust from the aeration chamber is vented to the existing AAT scrubber. Sterilized product is then staged
for customer delivery. All process steps, including the EtO dispensing system, will be within a permanent

EMISSION RELATED INFORMATION
This section details the methodology used to calculate controlled and uncontrolled emissions for criteria
pollutants, greenhouse gases, and HAPs associated with each new unit and its associated fugitives as
regulated by R307-401-5(2)(b). Detailed emission calculation tables are included in Appendix B.
HAP and VOC Emissions – EtO Sterilization
Sterigenics provided detailed EtO emission estimates to UDAQ as part of the NOI application submitted on
September 24, 2020. A material balance approach was utilized to develop these estimates and no changes
to potential EtO usage is proposed for this modification. The annual potential fugitive emissions were
estimated assuming 0.05% of total EtO usage escapes the process as fugitives and is based on a study
conducted at a similar Sterigenics facility in Willowbrook, Illinois. What were uncontrolled EtO fugitive
emissions in the previous NOI, will now be controlled by the AAT dry bed scrubber, thus reducing overall
EtO emissions from the facility. Capture efficiency of the enclosure will be coupled with the scrubber
destruction efficiency to determine potential emissions for this modification. Per EPA guidance, capture
efficiency is assumed 100%3 and destruction efficiency of the scrubber is 80% as guaranteed by AAT.

Natural Gas-Fired Emergency Generator
Sterigenics is adding only one (1) natural gas fired emergency generator engine, rated at 240 hp. Emission
factors for NOx, VOC, and CO are provided by the manufacturer. Other criteria and hazardous air pollutants
(HAPs) emission factors are from EPAs AP-42 Section 3.2: Natural Gas Fired Reciprocating Engines. Annual
emissions estimates are calculated using the following equation:
Annual Emissions (tpy)=Heat Input �MMBtuhr�× EF �lbMMBtu�× 100 �hryr�× �ton2,000 lb�
The emission factors used, and the results of these calculations can be found in Appendix B.
GHG Emissions
GHG emissions are estimated from the combustion of natural gas in the proposed emergency generator. To
calculate total Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e, equivalent to GHG) emissions, total fuel usage was
multiplied by fuel-specific emission factors and global warming potentials (GWP) provided in 40 CFR 98
Tables A-1, C-1, and C-2.

BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS
In the State of Utah, under R307-401-5(2)(d), Notice of Intent, every facility, operation, or process that
proposes any activity that would emit an air contaminant into the air, must consider Best Available Control
Technology (BACT) for a proposed new source or modification.4 The below BACT analysis only addresses
units which will be modified, installed, or otherwise addressed in this NOI air permit application.
EtO Sterilization
This permit modification constitutes a reduction in overall EtO emissions from existing levels and therefore a
detailed BACT analysis is not required or provided. It should be noted that the existing controls meet current
BACT and federal emissions standards. The proposed AAT dry bed scrubber is a newly available emission
control for fugitive emissions from EtO sterilization demonstrated as technically feasible.
Natural Gas Emergency Generator – BACT Analysis
Sterigenics is proposing to add one (1) natural gas-fired emergency generator engine, rated at 240 hp.
Natural gas-fired engines are classified as spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE). The primary
pollutants in the exhaust gases include CO, NOX, VOC, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5. The natural gas-fired engine
proposed at Sterigenics is for emergency use only (except for readiness testing) and will use pipeline quality
natural gas.
EPA’s Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT)/BACT/LAER (RBLC) Clearinghouse database was
queried to identify controls for other similar-sized emergency generator engines. The RBLC shows that
most natural gas-fired emergency generator engines have BACT emission limits or permitted emission limits
under other regulatory programs at or above the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart JJJJ -
Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines. Presented below are
the five steps of the top-down BACT analysis for the natural gas-fired emergency generator engine.
CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC Emissions Natural Gas Emergency
Generator Step 1 - Identify All Control Technologies
Available control technologies for natural gas-fired emergency generator engines include the following for
CO, VOCs, PM10, PM2.5, NOX, and SO2 5:
► Limited Hours of Operation;
► Good Combustion Practices;
► Use of an EPA Certified Engine;
► Using Pipeline Quality Natural Gas.
The following step evaluates the technical feasibility of each of these options.

CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC Emissions Natural Gas Emergency Generator
Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Limited Hours of Operation
One of the apparent opportunities to control the emissions of all pollutants released from emergency
generator engines is to limit the hours of operation for the equipment. Due to the designation of the
proposed generator as emergency equipment, it is limited to 100 hours of operation for maintenance and
testing. Sterigenics minimizes planned operation time for the emergency generator engine to maintenance
and testing.
Good Combustion Practices
Good combustion practices refer to the operation of engines at high combustion efficiency, which reduces
the products of incomplete combustion. The emergency generator engine is designed to achieve maximum
combustion efficiency. The manufacturer has provided operation and maintenance manuals that detail the
required methods to achieve the highest levels of combustion efficiency. Sterigenics will operate and
maintain the emergency engine in accordance with the manufacture provided instructions and best industry
practices.
Use of an EPA Certified Engine
EPA noted that non-road engines were a significant source of emissions and began adopting emission
standards for these emission units in 1994. Today, engines are required to meet certain emission limits
based on the size and model year. The proposed engine used in this emergency generator set complies with
EPA emissions regulations under the provisions of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ.
Using Pipeline Quality Natural Gas
Limiting combustion to only pipeline quality natural ensures the fuel is free of impurities that can cause the
formation of excess air pollutants. Sterigenics proposes to use only pipeline quality natural gas in the
emergency generator.
CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC Emissions Natural Gas Emergency Generator
Step 3 – Rank Remaining Control Technologies by Control Effectiveness
Effective control technologies for natural gas engines include limited hours of operation, good combustion
practices, use of EPA certified engines, and the use of pipeline quality natural gas. All feasible control
technologies are proposed for implementation.
CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC Emissions Natural Gas Emergency
Generator Step 4 – Evaluate Most Effective Controls and Document Results
Because all feasible control technologies are proposed for implementation, no further consideration of
environmental or economic impacts are required.
CO, PM2.5, PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOC Emissions Natural Gas Emergency Generator
Step 5 - Select BACT
The proposed natural gas emergency generator engine is EPA certified compliant with 40 CFR 60 Subpart
JJJJ emission standards. Additionally, the emergency generator engine will be operated and maintained in

accordance with good combustion practices and combust only pipeline quality natural gas. The hours of
operation are restricted to 100 hours for maintenance and testing per year. These controls and work
practices for the natural-fired emergency generator engines are selected as BACT.

UAC R307-405 Permits: Major Sources in Attainment or Unclassified Areas
This rule implements the federal PSD permitting program for major sources and major modifications in
attainment areas and maintenance areas as required by 40 CFR 51.166. The Sterigenics facility is in an
attainment area for PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), CO, and Lead. Sterigenics emission impacts are below
major source thresholds of these pollutants. The Salt Lake City facility’s PTE does not exceed the major
source thresholds for these pollutants and is therefore not subject to PSD review for this modification.
Federal Regulations
New Source Performance Standards
NSPS require new, modified, or reconstructed sources to control emissions to the level achievable by the
best demonstrated technology as specified in the applicable provisions. Moreover, any source subject to an
NSPS is also subject to the general provisions of NSPS Subpart A, except as noted. The following section
details the applicability of NSPS regulations to the facility operations.
NSPS Subpart A – General Provisions
All affected sources subject to source specific NSPS are subject to the general provisions of NSPS Subpart A
unless specifically excluded by the source specific NSPS. Subpart A requires initial notification, performance
testing, recordkeeping, and monitoring, provides reference methods, and mandates general control device
requirements for all other subparts.
NSPS Subpart JJJJ - Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
NSPS Subpart JJJJ, Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines,
establishes requirements for stationary SI internal combustion engines for which construction, modification,
or reconstruction commenced after June 12, 2006. The construction date is the date the engine was
ordered by the owner or operator. The emergency generator engine proposed to be added to Sterigenics’
AO was constructed after the specified construction dates. NSPS JJJJ is applicable to the proposed engine.
Emission Limitations

testing, periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or greater below
standard voltage or frequency, and/or up to 50 hours per calendar year in non-emergency
situations.
► No limit for emergency usage of the engine in emergency situations.
► Propane may be used in emergency situations when natural gas is unavailable for up to 100 hours
per year. Exceeding 100 hours per year while using propane requires a performance test while
using propane.
Recordkeeping9
Records of all required notifications under NSPS JJJJ, all maintenance conducted on the engine, and
documentation from the manufacturer the engine is certified.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
NESHAP Subpart A – General Provisions
NESHAP Subpart A, General Provisions, contains national emissions standards for HAP defined in Section
112(b) of the Clean Air Act. All affected sources, which are subject to another NESHAP, are subject to the
general provisions of NESHAP Subpart A, unless specifically excluded by the source specific NEHSAP.
Subpart A requires initial notification, performance testing, recordkeeping, monitoring, provides
reference methods, and mandates general control device requirements for all other subparts. The following
sections detailing each subpart requirements also includes requirements that are referenced to Subpart A.
NESHAP Subpart O – Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standards for Sterilization Facilities
NESHAP Subpart O, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Ethylene Oxide Emissions
Standards for Sterilization Facilities, establishes requirements for EtO sterilization facilities using more than
one (1) ton of EtO annually. Subpart O contains emissions control standards, performance provisions,
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements listed below.
Emission Control Standards 10
► Reduce emissions from the sterilization chamber vents by at least 99%.
► Reduce ethylene oxide emissions to the atmosphere from each aeration room vent to a maximum
concentration of 1 ppmv or by at least 99%, whichever is less stringent.

9 40 CFR 60.4245.
10 40 CFR 63.362
Sterigenics US, LLC / NOI Air Permit Application

Performance Provisions
Performance provisions found in 40 CFR 63.363 specify performance testing to verify compliance with
aeration and sterilization chamber vent emission controls. The proposed modification adds an emission
control for fugitive EtO emissions and no changes are proposed to the existing scrubbers controlling the
sterilization and aeration vents. Therefore, performance provisions of this subpart are not applicable.
Monitoring Requirements 11
The following monitoring requirements apply to EtO sterilization facilities using an acid water scrubber to
comply with emission control standards.
►Sample the scrubber liquor and analyze and record once per week the ethylene glycol concentration
of the scrubber liquor using the test methods and procedures in § 63.365(e)(1). Monitoring is
required during a week only if the scrubber unit has been operated; or
►Measure and record once per week the level of the scrubber liquor in the recirculation tank. The
owner or operator shall install, maintain, and use a liquid level indicator to measure the scrubber
liquor tank level (i.e., a marker on the tank wall, a dipstick, a magnetic indicator, etc.). Monitoring is
required during a week only if the scrubber unit has been operated.
►Measure and record once per hour the ethylene oxide concentration at the outlet to the atmosphere
after any control device according to the procedures specified in § 63.365(c)(1). Sterigenics must
compute and record a 24-hour average daily.
Reporting Requirements
Sterigenics must comply with the reporting requirements found in 40 CFR 63.10 according to the
applicability of found in Table 1 of 40 CFR 63.360. Specific notification requirements are summarized in 40
CFR 63.366.
Recordkeeping Requirements 12
All records shall be maintained such that they can be readily accessed and are suitable for inspection, in
hard copy or computer-readable form. Records must be maintained for at least five years. The most recent
2 years of records shall be maintained onsite or accessible for the inspector while onsite. Records for the
preceding 3 years may be kept offsite, if required.
NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ – Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE)
Sterigenics is classified as a minor source of HAP and this project proposes one (1) Emergency SI RICE that
is requested to be added to Sterigenics’ AO. This RICE was constructed after June 12, 2006 and is
applicable to NSPS JJJJ Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines. The applicable requirements for the proposed unit are satisfied by the NSPS JJJJ section above.

Test Conditions
Test Conditions apply to both Natural Gas and Propane
Data is representative of steady-state engine speed (± 25 RPM) with full load (±2%). Pressures, temperatures, and emission
rates were stabilized.
Fuel Specification: Natural Gas: Dry gas received from Supplier (1000 BTU/SCF)
Propane: Meets the requirements for Commercial Grade Propane under the
ASTM D1835 Standard Specification for Liquified Gases.
Fuel Inlet Temperature: 60 ± 9 °F at flow transmitter
Fuel Pressure: 14.73PSIA ± 0.5 PSIA at Flow Transmitter
Air Inlet Temperature: 77 ± 9 °F
Barometric Pressure: 22.92 ± 1 in. Hg
Humidity: NOx measurement corrected to 75 grains H2O/lb (10.7 g/kg) of dry air
The NOx, HC, CO and PM emission data tabulated here are representative of test data taken from a single engine under the test conditions
shown above. These data are subjected to instrumentation and engine-to-engine variability. Field emission test data are not guaranteed to
these levels. Actual field test results may vary due to test site conditions, installation, fuel specification, test procedures and instrumentation.
Engine operation with excessive air intake or exhaust restriction beyond published maximum limits, or with improper maintenance, may
results in elevated emission levels.

INSTALLATION NOTES
1.UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE ON THE DETAIL DRAWINGS, THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED
FOR EACH TYPE OF BOLTED CONNECTION:
2.BOLT INSTALLATION INSPECTION - INSPECTION IS REQUIRED
DURING INSTALLATION OF BOLTS TO ENSURE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE FOLLOWING TIGHTENING INSTRUCTIONS.
3.MATCH MARKING - MARKING OF THE NUT AND PROTRUDING END OF
THE BOLT AFTER SNUG-TIGHTENING CAN BE HELPFUL IN THE
SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATION PROCESS AND IS AN AID TO INSPECTION.
4.SNUG-TIGHT METHOD - THIS METHOD SHALL BE USED FOR MINOR
OR NON-STRUCTURAL JOINTS SUCH AS DRAIN CAPS, ACCESS DOORS,
TEST PORT CAPS, INLET FLANGES, AND TEMPORARY ALIGNMENT BOLTS
FOR WELDED FIELD SPLICES. THIS CONDITION IS ATTAINED WITH A
FEW IMPACTS OF AN IMPACT WRENCH, OR A FULL EFFORT BY A
PERSON USING AN ORDINARY SPUD WRENCH TO BRING THE
CONNECTED PLIES INTO FIRM CONTACT. THIS METHOD RESULTS IN A
SMALL PRETENSION LOAD IN THE BOLT.
5.TURN-OF-NUT METHOD - UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE, THIS METHOD
OF BOLT TIGHTENING SHALL BE USED FOR STRUCTURAL JOINTS AND
CONNECTIONS SUCH AS PLATFORM CONNECTIONS AND BOLTED STACK
SPLICES. WITH TURN-OF-NUT METHOD, GENERALLY, A PRETENSION
LOAD OF CLOSE TO 70% OF THE BOLT ALLOWABLE TENSILE STRESS IS
RESULTED. IN THIS METHOD THE BOLT IS FIRST SNUG-TIGHT. THEN
THE NUT SHALL BE ROTATED 1/2 TURN. THE PART NOT TURNED BY
THE WRENCH SHALL BE PREVENTED FROM ROTATING DURING THIS
OPERATION.
6.LADDER STAND-OFF BOLT TIGHTENING - FOR (FIXED) LADDER
CONNECTIONS THE BOLTS SHALL BE THE TURN-OF-NUT METHOD. FOR
TYPE (SLOTTED) LADDER CONNECTIONS THE BOLTS SHALL BE
FINGER-TIGHT. A WRENCH WITH MINIMAL TORQUE CAN BE USED.
THE BOLT SHALL BE ABLE TO MOVE VERTICALLY IN THE SLOT DUE TO
DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL EXPANSION AND SHRINKAGE BETWEEN THE
STACK AND LADDER. THE NUT SHALL BE WELDED TO THE BOLT.
7.ANCHOR BOLT TIGHTENING - FIRST SNUG-TIGHT ALL ANCHOR
BOLTS. THEN TURN NUT 1/3 ROTATION. THE ANCHOR BOLTS SHALL
NOT BE TIGHTENED EARLIER THAN (7) DAYS AFTER CONCRETE IS
POURED. ANCHOR BOLTS SHOULD BE RETIGHTENED (30) DAYS AFTER
STACK ERECTION. PERIODIC RETIGHTENING OF THE ANCHOR BOLTS
IS RECOMMENDED.
8.BREECHING FLANGE BOLT TIGHTENING - AS A MINIMUM THE
BOLTS SHALL BE SNUG TIGHT. DISCLAIMER
THIS DRAWING IS PRESENTED TO INFORM THE INSTALLING CONTRACTOR
OF THE RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION STEPS AND METHODS FOR
INSTALLING THE STACK. THESE STEPS AND METHODS ARE NOT INTENDED
TO NEGATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR PRACTICE OF GOOD JUDGEMENT AND
THE NEED FOR FIELD ERECTION EXPERIENCE ON THE PART OF THE
INSTALLING CONTRACTOR. DEVIATION FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE
NECESSARY IN ORDER TO SUIT UNFORESEEN SITE CONDITIONS AND TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MEN AND EQUIPMENT.
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SELECTION OF ERECTION METHODS,
EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS LIES SOLELY WITH THE SITE INSTALLING
SUPERINTENDENT. THIS DRAWING ALONG WITH TAGGING, MARKING AND
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ARE OFFERED TO AID AND ASSIST AND ARE NOT
MEANT TO BE EXACT INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW FOR ASSEMBLY.
INSTALLING CONTRACTOR SHALL ADHERE TO THE SAFETY POLICIES AND
PRACTICES OF THE PLANT. THIS PROCEDURE DOES NOT SUPERSEDE LOCAL
AND PLANT SAFETY POLICIES AND PRACTICES.
ERECTED STACK SECTIONS SHALL BE PLUMB WITHIN 1" IN 100'-0".
WEIGHTS NOTED ON THIS DRAWING DO NOT INCLUDE REQUIRED
SAFETY FACTORS FOR LIFTING.
