Review of BACT for New/Modified Emission Units
1. BACT review regarding New Equipment
New Electric Kiln
The kiln will be used to vitrify ceramics by burning off organic matter in the ceramic and
removing all water embedded in the atomic structure. The kiln is electric and will have ductwork
designed to remove off-gassing products through a stack. The new electric kiln will emit VOC,
NOx, PM2.5, PM10, CO, and HAPs emissions in negligible levels (<0.1 tpy, each). Therefore,
additional controls to reduce emissions from the electric kiln are not cost-effective. BACT to
control emissions from the electric kiln is best management practices, including proper
maintenance and operation of the equipment.
New Electric Oven
The new electric oven will be used to cure a thermoset resin in order to make the product infusible,
insoluble, and unable to return to its uncured state. There will be ductwork designed to remove off-
gassing products through a stack. Less than 0.1 tpy of VOC and less than 0.01 tpy of HAPs will be
emitted from the process. Therefore, additional controls to reduce emissions from the electric oven
are not cost-effective. BACT to control emissions from the electric oven is best management
practices, including proper maintenance and operation of the equipment.
New Natural Gas-fired Oven (O-52)
Northrop proposes to install one natural gas-fired oven (O-52) with a maximum rated capacity of
1.0 MMBtu/hr. The oven will be used to cure thermoset resin, similar to the new electric oven. The
natural gas-fired oven will emit VOCs, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and HAPs in negligible levels (<0.1 tpy,
each). The oven will emit 0.42 tpy of NOx and 0.35 tpy of CO. Additional controls to reduce
emissions from the electric oven are not cost effective. Therefore, BACT to control emissions from
the electric oven is best management practices, including proper maintenance and operation of the
equipment.
New Spray Booth
Northrop proposes to install one spray booth designed to remove overspray and vapors produced
during paint spraying operation. The new spray booth will emit 1.2 tpy of VOCs and 0.13 tpy each
of PM10 and PM2.5.
Technologies to controls VOCs include a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO), a carbon
adsorption system, and best management practices. RTOs are considered technically infeasible for
the spray booth as thermal oxidizers are not effective to control VOCs when there are low VOC
concentrations in the flue gas. In a 2019 BACT analysis, Northrop found that a carbon adsorber
for a spray booth with a PTE of 0.54 TPY had a cost effectiveness of $2.6 million/ton of VOC for
canister replacement and $187,565/ton of VOC for carbon replacement. While the PTE of VOCs
from the spray booth is double that of the study, the cost effectiveness still exceeds $1 million/ ton
of VOC reduced. The DAQ does not consider this economically feasible. Therefore, BACT to
control VOC emissions from the spray booth is best management practices.
Technologies to control PM10/PM2.5 include electrostatic precipitators (ESP), fabric 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. Baghouses are dust
collectors made of fabric filters that 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 use of a 3-stage fabric filter and
HVLP spray guns are considered to be technically feasible. Therefore, BACT to control
Engineer Review N101520031: Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. - Clearfield Freeport Center
January 24, 2024
Page 5
PM10/PM2.5 emissions from the spray booths is use of a 3-stage fabric filter and HVLP spray guns.
[Last updated January 24, 2024]
3. BACT review regarding New Equipment (Continued)
New Receiving Exhaust Hood
Northrop proposes to install a receiving hood above a platen press that will capture emissions
resulting from peroxide-curing of rubber. VOC and HAPs emissions will be the only emissions
exhausted through the receiving hood and are based on the mass of rubber cured per year. VOC
and HAPs emissions will be less than 0.001 tpy, each. Therefore, additional add-on control
technologies are not cost-effective. BACT is best management practices.
In additional to the above BACT determinations, the source is subject to UAC R307-325 (Ozone
Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas: General Requirements). These are general provisions that
require sources in an ozone nonattainment area not to spill, discard, or store any VOC containing
materials in any other manner that could results in greater VOC emissions.
The source is also subject to UAC R307-355 (Control of Emissions from Aerospace Manufacture
and Rework Facilities) as the facility is an aerospace manufacture and rework facility that has the
potential to emit 10 tons or more per year of VOCs. The rule includes provisions for VOC content
limits, application methods, work practices, and solvent cleaning.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding HAP Emissions:
Condition II.B.2.a contains a 19.00 TPY rolling 12-month limit for all HAPs combined.
Additionally, Condition II.B.2.a also includes individual HAP limits. If added up, these individual
limits exceed the total HAP limit. Northrop has been given individual limits to add greater
flexibility in their operations, with an established combined HAP limit which prevents Northrop
from becoming a major source of HAP emissions. The generic HAP limit was established to
provide Northrop flexibility in their operations for when minor processes use HAPs other than those
listed.
As requested by Northrop, total VOC and HAP emission limitations will not be changing with this
modification.
[Last updated December 20, 2023]
2. Comment regarding Modification:
In additional to the one (1) electric kiln, one (1) electric oven, one (1) natural gas-fired oven, one (1)
spray booth, and one (1) receiving hood exhaust installation request, Northrop has proposed the
removal of the HR-3 hot room, the SB-2 laboratory hood, the E-145 exhaust hood, and the DC-28
dust collector due to decommissioning. The Equipment IDs are II.A.4, II.A.9, II.A.10, and II.A.17
(respectively) in AO DAQE-AN101520030-24.
Removing the HR-3 hot room results in an emissions decrease of 0.0020 tpy of VOCs, 0.036 tpy of
NOx, 0.0027 tpy each of PM10 and PM2.5, 0.030 tpy of CO, and less than 0.001 tpy of HAPs. The
removal of the D-28 dust collector. results in an emissions decrease of 0.42 tpy each of PM10 and
PM2.5. The reduction in emissions from the removal of the SB-2 laboratory hood and E-145 exhaust
hood were not quantified as Northrop is not proposing a limit change for VOC/HAPs.
[Last updated January 12, 2024]
3. Comment regarding Source Emission Calculations and DAQ Acceptance:
Added Equipment
Electric Kiln
PM emission factors from AP-42 Chapter 11.7, Table 11.7-1. All other emission factors are from
AP-42 Chapter 11.7, Table 11.7-2
Electric Oven
HAP and VOC off-gas emissions rates were determined from on-site sample data. A 15-minute
sample was taken from the exhaust stream of an oven when the oven reached the maximum cure
temperature. Emission rates are calculated based on the pollutant concentration and the maximum
rated flow rate of the oven fan (310 acfm). Annual emissions are conservatively based on continuous
operation for 8,760 hours per year (hr/yr).
Engineer Review N101520031: Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. - Clearfield Freeport Center
January 24, 2024
Page 17
Natural Gas-Fired Oven
Emission factors are from AP-42, Section 1.4 Natural Gas Combustion for an uncontrolled boiler
<100 MMBtu/hr. Hourly emissions are based on operation of the 1 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired oven
at full capacity and assuming a fuel heat content of 1044 Btu/scf. Annual emissions were calculated
assuming 8760 hrs/yr of operation.
Spray Booth
Emissions of VOCs and HAPs are calculated using the VOC or HAP content (volume percent), the
density, and the expected gallons of the respective paint used per year. Emissions are conservatively
based on all VOC and HAP being emitted via the stack. Controlled PM emissions account for the
control efficiency of the HVLP spray gun (65%) and the fabric filter efficiency (97.5%). Annual
emissions were calculated assuming 8760 hrs/yr of operation and maximum paint usage.
Receiving Hood Exhaust
The receiving hood exhaust emissions are estimated using emissions factors for VOC and HAPs
from Section 4.12 of the EPA's AP-42 emission factor document. Emissions are calculated based on
a maximum of 11 shipsets per year, assuming 913 feet (ft) of rubber per set, at a mass of 167 lb
rubber per 300 ft roll (5,591 lb rubber per year).
Removed Equipment
H-3 Hot Room
Emission factors are from AP-42 Section 1.4: Natural Gas Combustion. Table 1.4-1, and 1.4-2.
Emissions are based on operation of the 0.084 MMBtu/hr burner at full capacity. Annual emissions
were calculated assuming 8760 hrs/yr of operation.
DC-28 Dust Collector
Emissions are based on operation of the 702 scfm baghouse at full capacity. Annual emissions were
calculated assuming 8,760 hrs/yr of operation. A grain loading rate of 0.016 gr/scf was used, as
listed in Northrops 2022 emissions inventory. [Last updated December 21, 2023]
4. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT Applicability:
40 CFR 60 NSPS Subpart IIII - Standards of Performance or Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines
The provisions of this subpart apply to owners and operators of stationary CI ICE that commence
construction after July 11, 2005, where the stationary CI ICE are manufactured after April 1, 2006.
The two (2) diesel-fired emergency stationary engines at this facility were constructed after this date
and are therefore subject to NSPS Subpart IIII.
40 CFR 60 NSPS Subpart JJJJ - Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines
The provisions of this subpart apply to owners and operators of stationary SI ICE that commence
construction after June 12, 2006, where the stationary SI ICE are manufactured on or after July 1,
2008, for engines with a maximum engine power less than 500 HP. The eight (8) natural gas-fired
emergency stationary engines on site were constructed after this data and are therefore subject to
NSPS Subpart JJJJ.
40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ - Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to owners/operators of stationary RICE at a major or
area sources of HAP emissions. The facility includes (2) diesel-fired emergency stationary engines
and eight (8) natural gas-fired emergency stationary engines. The provisions of MACT Subpart
Engineer Review N101520031: Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. - Clearfield Freeport Center
January 24, 2024
Page 18
ZZZZ apply as the stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) is at an area source of
HAP emissions. The engines are not designated as nonroad and are not exempt are affected sources
under this regulation. Therefore, MACT Subpart ZZZZ applies to this facility.
40 CFR 63 Subpart WWWWWW - National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Area Source Standards for Plating and Polishing Operations
This subpart applies to owners and operators of affected sources at plating and polishing facilities
that are area sources of HAPs. This subpart specifically applies to plating and polishing facilities
that use one or more plating and polishing metal HAPs, including compounds of nickel, in affected
sources, including thermal spraying. This source is considered an area source of HAPs and has a
thermal spraying operation using nickel compounds; therefore, MACT Subpart WWWWWW
applies to this source. MACT Subpart WWWWWW contains capture system requirements for
thermal spraying operations. Northrop has chosen to comply with the capture system requirements
with a pulse jet baghouse to control the thermal spraying operations. In addition to this requirement,
MACT Subpart WWWWWW contains other management practices, equipment and operating
standards, and notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for thermal spraying
operations. [Last updated December 21, 2023]
5. Comment regarding Title V Applicability:
Title V of the 1990 CAA (Title V) applies to the following:
A. Any major source
B. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the
Act, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources
C. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act,
Hazardous Air Pollutants
D. Any Title IV-affected source
This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source, but is subject to 40 CFR 60 NSPS
Subparts A, IIII, and JJJJ, and 40 CFR 63 MACT Subparts A, ZZZZ, and WWWWWW regulations.
However, Title V does not apply because NSPS Subparts IIII and JJJJ and MACT Subparts ZZZZ
and WWWWWW exempt sources from the obligation to obtain a permit under 40 CFR part 70
(Title V permit) if the source is not otherwise required by law to obtain a permit. 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.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. (NGSC) owns and operates an aerospace structures
manufacturing facility (referred to as “Facility”) located at Freeport Center 14th Street,
Clearfield, Utah. The general operations include raw material receipt and storage, material
and tool preparation, fabrication, curing, finishing, testing, packing, and shipping. Facility
operation is currently authorized by Utah Department of Environmental Quality – Division of
Air Quality (UDAQ) Approval Order DAQE-AN101520028-22 (AO), most recently issued on
September 26, 2022. The Facility is classified as a minor source of air emissions under both
the Title V and federal New Source Review (NSR) permitting programs.
NGSC is submitting this Notice of Intent (NOI) to UDAQ to request approval to install an
electric kiln (Independent Research & Development (IR&D) Kiln), an electric oven (IR&D
Oven), a natural gas-fired oven (O-52), a spray booth, and a receiving hood exhaust. NGSC
also proposes to remove the following equipment from their AO due to decommissioning: the
HR-3 hot room, the SB-2 laboratory hood, the E-145 exhaust hood, and the DC-28 dust
collector. NGSC would also like to change the identification of two pieces of equipment. A site
map with the location of equipment added to the Facility is provided in Appendix A. NGSC is
not proposing to modify its existing facility-wide volatile orgNewanic compound (VOC) and
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission limits. The presented VOC and HAP emissions from
added equipment will be folded into its existing 69.00 tons per year (TPY) VOC and 19.00
TPY HAP limits in the current AO. Therefore, in accordance with under R307-403-1, NGSC
will remain under the VOC major source threshold of 70 TPY for facilities located within the
nonattainment area for particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns (PM2.5) or less.1
NGSC is submitting this NOI to request an AO in accordance with the requirements of the
Utah Administrative Code (UAC) Rule R307-401-5.2 The NOI application forms are included
in Appendix B of this report.

2. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
To support manufacturing processes, NGSC currently operates natural gas-fired ovens, hot
rooms, autoclaves, paint booths, boilers, and heaters; ventilation rooms, laboratory hoods,
and exhaust hoods to vent various processes; electric curing ovens; dust collectors for
control of various machining processes; painting and welding activities; and wet cooling
towers with high efficiency drift eliminators.
Approval Order Additions:
NGSC proposes to install one (1) electric kiln, one (1) electric oven, one (1) natural gas-fired
oven, one (1) spray booth, and one (1) receiving hood exhaust at the Facility. The IR&D Kiln
is an electric kiln with a capacity of 99 cubic feet (ft3). The IR&D Oven is an electric oven
with an exhaust rate of 310 actual cubic feet per minute (acfm). The O-52 oven is a natural
gas-fired oven with a firing rate of 1.0 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr). The
spray booth will be installed with a high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray gun and vented
using a vacuum flow rate of 1,462 acfm through a high flow filtration system. Emissions from
the Receiving Hood Exhaust are based on the mass of rubber cured per year.
Approval Order Changes:
NGSC proposes to remove of the HR-3 hot room, the SB-2 laboratory hood, the E-145
exhaust hood, and the DC-28 dust collector due to decommissioning. NGSC has also
previously requested (November 2022) to change the identification of BO-7 (old) to BO-9
(new) and BO-8 (old) to BO-10 (new).

Sources and Emissions Calculations

3. SOURCES AND EMISSIONS CALCULATIONS
Pollutants emitted from the Facility’s operations include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen
oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), VOCs, particulate matter (PM), greenhouse gases
(GHGs), and HAPs. The following sections provide background on the methodology used to
estimate potential emissions from the Facility’s proposed modifications to operations.
Detailed potential emissions calculations are included in Appendix C.
3.1 Kiln
NGSC proposes to install one electric kiln (IR&D Kiln) which will be used to vitrify ceramics at
a high temperature. The firing process burns off organic matter in the ceramic and removes
all water embedded in the atomic structure. The kiln is electric and will have ductwork
designed to remove off-gassing products through a stack.
Kiln emission rates are based engineering design data and Section 11.7 of the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) AP-42 emission factor document.3 AP-42 does not contain any
emission factors for electric kilns; however we conservatively used the natural gas-fired kiln
emission factors for PM, NOx, CO, and VOC. AP-42 also presents emissions factors for CO2,
SO2, hydrogen fluoride, and fluorides. However, these were determined not to be applicable.
The CO2 and SO2 emission factors are fuel based emission factors based on natural gas
combustion and are not reflective of the electric-fired kiln. Additionally, the process will not
generate fluoride emissions based on engineering design data. The AP-42 emission factors
are provided in units of pound of pollutant per ton of ceramic product (lb/ton). Emissions are
calculated based on 184 lb of ceramic parts loaded in the kiln per run. Annual emissions are
calculated based on continuous operation of the kiln, with each run lasting 3 days (no
downtime for loading and unloading).
The process will have the potential to generate ammonia (NH3) and some CO2. Emissions of
these pollutants are calculated using mass-balance assuming 10 percent mass loss during
each 3-day run. The total mass lost during each run is calculated and the emissions of the
other pollutants subtracted (those calculated using the AP-42). As there is no speciation
information for the process, it is conservatively assumed that the remaining mass could be
either all NH3 or all CO2.
The only HAP expected to be off-gassed is phenol, based on engineering design data. As
there is not an AP-42 emission rate provided for phenol, it was conservatively assumed that
all emitted VOC is phenol.
3.2 Electric Oven
NGSC proposes to install one electric oven (IR&D Oven) which will be used to cure a
thermoset resin in order to make the product infusible, insoluble, and unable to return to its
uncured state. There will be ductwork designed to remove off-gassing products through a
stack.
HAP and VOC off-gas emissions rates were determined from on-site sample data. A 15-
minute sample was taken from the exhaust stream of an oven when the oven reached the
maximum cure temperature. In calculating emissions, it is assumed these emission rates are
constant throughout the cure cycle which provides a conservative estimate of the amount of
off-gassed product as VOC emission rates will decrease throughout the curing process.
Emission rates are calculated based on the pollutant concentration and the maximum rated
flow rate of the oven fan (310 acfm). Annual emissions are conservatively based on
continuous operation for 8,760 hours per year (hr/yr).

3.3 Natural Gas-Fired Oven
NGSC proposes to install one natural gas-fired oven (O-52) with a maximum rated capacity
of 1.0 MMBtu/hr. The oven will be used to cure thermoset resin in order to make the product
infusible, insoluble, and unable to return to its uncured state.
Oven emission rates are based Section 1.4 of the EPA’s AP-42 emission factor document.4
Hourly emissions were calculated using the maximum rated capacity of the oven, and annual
emissions are conservatively based on continuous operation for 8,760 hr/yr.
Additionally, off-gassing may occur during unbagged cures, less than 5 percent of cures
performed in the oven. Off-gassing of the film adhesive could result in 1 lb VOC emissions
calculated based on the total weight lost as VOCs (accounting for water vapor regained)
multiplied by the total mass cured for the year. From the SDS for the film adhesive, no HAPs
are off-gassed.5
3.4 Spray Booth
NGSC proposes to install one spray booth designed to remove overspray and vapors
produced during paint spraying operations. The spray booth is a “tent and vent”
configuration where a tent is temporarily set up and emissions from the operation will be
vented to the outside of the building. VOC and PM emissions are the only emissions from the
spray booth. Usage is calculated as a per day volume used and pounds used are based on
the density of the respective paint.
Emissions of VOCs and HAPs are calculated using the VOC or HAP content (volume percent),
the density, and the expected gallons of the respective paint used per year. Emissions are
conservatively based on all VOC and HAP being emitted via the stack.
Emissions of PM are calculated using the solids content (volume percent) and multiplying this
by the density and gallons used per year for each respective paint. Both controlled and
uncontrolled emissions are calculated. Controlled PM emissions account for the control
efficiency of the HVLP spray gun (65%) and the fabric filter efficiency (97.5%). Also, due to
spraying, all PM emissions are assumed to be PM2.5.
3.5 Receiving Hood Exhaust
NGSC proposes to install a receiving hood above a platen press that will capture emissions
resulting from peroxide-curing of rubber. VOC emissions will be the only emissions
exhausted through the receiving hood and are based on the mass of rubber cured per year.
The receiving hood exhaust emissions are estimated using emissions factors for VOC and
HAPs from Section 4.12 of the EPA’s AP-42 emission factor document.6 Emissions are
calculated based on a maximum of 11 shipsets per year, assuming 913 feet (ft) of rubber
per shipset, at a mass of 167 lb rubber per 300 ft roll (5,591 lb rubber per year).
Although AP-42 Chapter 4.12 emission factors are proposed and not yet finalized, the
emission factors for the use of the Platen Press with curing compound #9 (an unextruded
peroxide cure) best represents the processes that will be used by NGSC.
3.6 Equipment Removal
NGSC proposes to remove the SB-2 Laboratory Hood, E-145 Exhaust Hood, HR-3 Hot Room,
and DC-28 Dust Collector. The SB-2 Laboratory Hood and E-145 Exhaust Hood only

contribute to VOC and HAP emissions which are permitted as a facility-wide limit, therefore
emission reductions due to their removal were not calculated. The removal of the HR-3 Hot
Room will result in emission reductions for NOx, CO, PM (total), SO2, VOC, NH3, CO2, NH4,
and N2O. These emission reductions were calculated using AP-42 Chapter 1.4 emission
factors for natural gas combustion as well as ammonia emission factors for natural gas
combustion from the EPA Development and Selection of Ammonia Emission Factors.7,8
Additionally, the removal of the DC-28 Dust Collector will result in emission reduction for
PM10 and PM2.5. To evaluate emission reductions, a grain loading emission rate of 0.016
grains per cubic foot was used which is consistent with previous emission calculations for
DC-28.
3.7 Emissions Summary
Table 1 summarizes the Facility’s maximum annual controlled emissions for each pollutant.
Documentation of uncontrolled and controlled emissions are provided in Appendix C. As
discussed in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the total emissions are compared to the federal NSR and
Title V major source thresholds, and project emissions are compared to UDAQ modeling
thresholds.
As provided in Table 1, emissions are below all regulatory thresholds and modeling is not
required for the project. Note that NGCS is not proposing to modify the existing facility-wide
VOC and HAP permit limits.

4. FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY APPLICABILITY
The following sections outline applicability of certain federal and state air regulations to the
Facility’s proposed operations. Specifically, potentially applicable requirements under federal
NSR, Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS),
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Chemical Accident
Prevention Provisions, and Title R307 of the UAC are discussed herein.
4.1 New Source Review
The federal NSR permitting program applies to major stationary sources of regulated air
pollutants. The federal NSR program is comprised of two elements: Nonattainment NSR
(NNSR) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). NNSR permitting is applicable in
areas that have been designated as nonattainment for a regulated pollutant under the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). PSD permitting applies in areas that have
been designated as attainment or unclassifiable. The Facility is located 10 miles south of
Ogden and 28 miles north of Salt Lake City, in Davis County. Davis County is a serious
nonattainment for PM2.5 and moderate nonattainment for ozone (O3). As such, NNSR is the
applicable program for ground-level ozone formation (VOCs and NOX) and PM2.5. PSD is the
relevant NSR permitting program for all other criteria pollutants.
Under the PM2.5 nonattainment designation, the NNSR major source threshold for PM2.5 and
its precursors (NOX, VOC, SO2, and NH3) is 70 TPY. The NNSR major source threshold for
NOX and VOC under the ozone nonattainment designation is 100 TPY. The major source
threshold for all other regulated criteria pollutants is the PSD threshold of 250 TPY. The
Facility will be classified as a minor source with respect to NNSR and PSD, as the facility-
wide potential emissions will not exceed the major source thresholds. UDAQ is anticipating
the reclassification of Northern Wasatch Front (NWF) ozone nonattainment from moderate to
serious in February 2025. This means that stationary sources with the potential to emit (PTE)
of greater than 50 TPY of NOx or VOCs will be designated a major source. These changes will
make the Facility a major source with respect to VOC emissions following the reclassification
of the ozone nonattainment to serious.
4.2 Title V Operating Permits
The Title V operating permit program, promulgated in 40 CFR 70 and implemented in R307-
415 of the UAC, requires a facility to obtain a Title V operating permit if it has potential
emissions of a regulated criteria pollutant exceeding 100 TPY (or 70 TPY for PM2.5 and its
precursors), any single HAP exceeding 10 TPY, or total combined HAP emissions in excess of
25 TPY. Emissions from fugitive sources are not counted toward the Title V major source
thresholds as aerospace structures manufacturing is not on the list of 28 source categories
for which fugitive emissions must be included.
The facility-wide potential emissions from non-fugitive emission sources do not exceed the
Title V emission limits, therefore, the Facility is a minor source with respect to Title V.
4.3 New Source Performance Standards
NSPS, promulgated in 40 CFR 60 and incorporated by reference in R307-210-1 of the UAC,
provide emissions standards for criteria pollutant emissions from new, modified, and
reconstructed sources. There are no potentially applicable NSPS standards that apply to the
proposed operations at the Facility.
4.4 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
NESHAP, promulgated in 40 CFR 63 and incorporated by reference in R307-214-1 of the
UAC, regulate emissions of HAP from specific source categories. A facility that has potential
emissions exceeding 10 TPY for any individual HAP and/or emissions exceeding 25 TPY for

Ramboll
the sum of all HAP is classified as a major source of HAP emissions. A facility that is not a
major source of HAP is classified as an area source.
Annual HAP emissions for the Facility are presented in Appendix C. The Facility is an area
source for HAPs as they are below the 10 and 25 TPY limits. There are no potentially
applicable NESHAP standards that apply to the proposed operations at the Facility.
4.5 Utah Administrative Code, Title R307 – Environmental Quality, Air
Quality
In addition to the federal regulations, Title R307 of the UAC establishes regulations
applicable at the emission unit level and at the facility level. The state regulations also
include general requirements for facilities, such as the requirement to obtain construction
and operating permits. Source specific standards in R307 that are potentially applicable to
the Facility’s proposed operations are discussed in the following sections.
4.5.1 R307-201 – Emission Standards: General Emission Standards
This regulation sets general emission standards for opacity. Visible emissions from
installations constructed after 1971 are limited to no more than 20% opacity for sources that
are not diesel engines and no more than 40% for diesel engines.9 These standards cannot be
exceeded except for short time periods during startup or shutdown, installation or operation,
or unavoidable combustion irregularities which do not exceed three minutes in length. NGSC
is required to minimize emissions during startup or shutdown, installation, or operation
through the use of adequate controls and proper procedures.10
4.5.2 R307-410 – Emissions Impact Analysis
The provisions of R307-410 establish the procedures and requirements for evaluating the
emissions impact of new and modified sources that require an approval order under R307-
401 to ensure that the source will not interfere with the attainment or maintenance of any
NAAQS in the state of Utah. As discussed in Chapter 3, project emissions are below modeling
thresholds and no emissions impact analysis is required.

5. EVALUATION OF BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
New and modified sources of air emissions in an attainment area in Utah are required to
implement Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for control of emissions when applying
for an AO.11 Determination of BACT accounts for the technical feasibility of potential air
pollution control technologies, as well as factors such as the energy, environmental, and
economic impacts of the technology. This section evaluates BACT for emissions of criteria
pollutants from the Facility’s operations, specifically NOX, CO, VOC, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2.
5.1 BACT Analysis Process
Utah air regulations [R307-401-5(2)(d)] require that BACT be used to minimize the
emissions of pollutants from proposed new emission sources or modifications to existing
emissions sources requiring an AO. BACT is defined as follows:12
[BACT] means an emissions limitation … based on the maximum degree of reduction for
each air pollutant which would be emitted from any proposed stationary source or
modification which the director, on a case-by-case basis, taking into account energy,
environmental, and economic impacts and other costs, determines is achievable for such
source or modification through application of production processes or available methods,
systems, and techniques, including fuel cleaning or treatment or innovative fuel
combustion techniques for control of such pollutant. In no event shall application of best
available control technology result in emissions of any pollutant which would exceed the
emissions allowed by any applicable standard under 40 CFR parts 60 and 61.
If the director determines that technological or economic limitations on the application of
measurement methodology to a particular emissions unit would make the imposition of
an emissions standard infeasible, a design, equipment, work practice, operational
standard or combination thereof, may be prescribed instead to satisfy the requirement
for the application of best available control technology. Such standard shall, to the
degree possible, set forth the emissions reduction achievable by implementation of such
design, equipment, work practice or operation, and shall provide for compliance by
means which achieve equivalent results.
The BACT analysis is performed on a pollutant-specific, case-by-case basis for each new or
modified emission unit. The following emission units and pollutants were considered in the
BACT analysis:
● IR&D Kiln: NOx, CO, VOC, PM10, PM2.5
● IR&D Oven: VOC
● O-52 Oven: NOx, CO, VOC, PM10, PM2.5, SO2
● Spray Booth: VOC, PM2.5
● Receiving Hood Exhaust: VOC

5.1.1 “Top-Down” BACT Approach
This BACT analysis generally follows the “top-down” BACT approach outlined by EPA in a
1987 memorandum designed to improve the effectiveness of the federal PSD program.13,14
The top-down BACT approach starts with consideration of the technology that would achieve
the maximum degree of emissions limitations, i.e. the lowest emission rate, which can be or
has been applied to the specific source type under review or to other similar source types.
The top-ranked technology may be eliminated based on costs, economics, environmental or
energy impacts. If the top control option is eliminated, the BACT analysis then proceeds to
the next most stringent technology and the analysis continues until a BACT conclusion is
reached. The following steps provide a general outline of the top-down BACT process. In
practice, each step may not apply to each BACT analysis, and the steps may be overlapping,
combined, or undertaken in a different order depending on the specific emission units and
considerations involved.
5.1.1.1 Step 1 – Identify Available Control Technologies
The first step in the top-down procedure is to identify all available control technologies and
emission reduction options for the emissions unit and pollutant undergoing the BACT
analysis. Available control technologies are those with a practical potential for application to
the pollutant and emission unit under review, which have been demonstrated in practice on
full scale operations and are commercially available. Pollutant emission reduction options can
be grouped into two categories:
● Inherently lower-emitting processes, practices, or designs; and
● Add-on control technologies.
In addition, emission reduction options can sometimes be used in combination.
5.1.1.2 Step 2 – Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
The second step is to evaluate the technical feasibility of the control options identified in
Step 1 and to eliminate any options that are technically infeasible based on engineering
evaluation or due to chemical or physical principles. Criteria such as the following may be
considered in determining technical feasibility: previous commercial scale demonstrations,
precedents based on previous permits, and technology transfer from similar emission units.
Technologies which have not yet been applied to full scale operations need not be considered
available; an applicant should be able to purchase or construct a process or control device
that has already been demonstrated in practice.
When evaluating the technical feasibility of a technology that has been operated successfully
on a type of source different than the source type under review, EPA has indicated that the
“availability” and “applicability” of the technology to the source type under review should be
considered to eliminate the technology as technically infeasible. EPA has stated that it
“considers a technology to be ‘available’ where it can be obtained through commercial
channels or is otherwise available within the common meaning of the term.”15 Further, EPA
“considers an available technology to be ‘applicable’ if it can reasonably be installed and
operated on the source type under consideration.”16

If any of the control techniques cannot be successfully used on the emission units due to
technical difficulties, this finding should be documented, and such control techniques are not
considered further in the BACT analysis.
5.1.1.3 Step 3 – Rank Remaining Control Technologies
In Step 3, the remaining control technologies are rank-ordered into a control hierarchy from
most to least stringent. To the extent practical, this involves an assessment and
documentation of the emissions control level or emissions limit achievable with each
technically feasible alternative, considering the specific operating constraints of the emission
units undergoing review. Generally accepted control efficiencies or ranges of control
efficiencies are presented where control efficiencies vary and/or detailed information for the
specific emission unit is not available.
5.1.1.4 Step 4 – Evaluate Energy, Environmental, and Economic Impacts and Other
Costs
A top-ranked control option may be rejected as BACT based on a consideration of cost,
economic, environmental, and energy impacts. If the top-ranked option is not selected as
BACT, the applicant should document the evaluation of the cost, economic, environmental,
and/or energy impacts that leads to its rejection. If a control technology is determined to be
infeasible based on high cost effectiveness, or to cause adverse economic, energy, or
environmental impacts that would outweigh the benefits of the additional emissions
reduction as compared to a lower ranked control, then the control technology is rejected as
BACT, and the next most stringent control technique is considered in turn.
Both average cost effectiveness and incremental cost effectiveness may be considered for
the control options. Cost effectiveness is the annualized cost of control [in dollars ($)]
divided by the mass of emissions (in tons) reduced or eliminated by that control. For a
specific control technology, average cost effectiveness is the cost ($ per ton) that would be
incurred compared with baseline conditions. Incremental cost effectiveness is the difference
in cost per ton of emissions reduced at the next most stringent level of control when
comparing two control options. A control cost analysis has not been provided since the
baghouse selected is widely acceptable as BACT.
5.1.1.5 Step 5 – Select BACT
BACT is identified as the option with the highest control effectiveness from Step 3 that is not
eliminated in Step 4 based on consideration of cost, economic, energy or environmental
impacts. Once the control technology, process or work practice is selected, a BACT emission
limit is established, if appropriate, considering what is achievable over the range of operating
conditions anticipated.
5.1.2 Information Relied Upon
In general, the spectrum of BACT control options identified in Step 1 for consideration as
potential control options is based on the following:
● An assessment of recently issued BACT determinations and permits for similar
sources;
● EPA Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheets and other EPA guidance and
technical reports were relied upon as a reference for the likely achievable range of
control for control equipment and/or for guidance regarding the BACT process;
● Vendor data; and
● Professional engineering judgement and experience.

5.2 NOx BACT Analysis for IR&D Kiln
5.2.1 Step 1 – Identify Available Control Technologies
Potentially available control technologies for NOx include:
● Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR); and
● Good Management Practices (GMP).
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
SCR is a method of NOx control that utilizes a catalyst and reagent to reduce NOx emissions.
SCR is typically implemented on stationary source combustion units which require a high
level of NOx reduction 17. Urea is generally used as the reduction reagent. NOx removal
efficiencies for SCR are high, at 90 percent.18 SCR is considered technically infeasible on the
IR&D kiln as SCR is generally applied to large combustion units (>100 MMBtu/hr), and SCR
is most effective for exhaust streams with high temperatures and NOx concentrations.
Good Management Practices (GMP)
GMP is a method of emissions control involving proper maintenance and operations of the
equipment.

5.4 VOC BACT Analysis for IR&D Kiln
5.4.1 Step 1 – Identify Available Control Technologies
Potentially available control technologies for VOC include:
● Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO);
● Carbon Adsorption System; and
● Good Management Practices (GMP).
Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)
RTOs are the most common type of thermal oxidizer technology. RTOs typically use ceramic
direct contact heat exchangers to achieve temperatures high enough to ignite the waste
stream and destroy VOCs/HAPs. RTOs are considered technically infeasible for the IR&D kiln
as thermal oxidizers are not effective to control VOCs when there are low VOC
concentrations in the flue gas.
Carbon Adsorption System
Carbon adsorption generally involves the adsorption of organic compounds on activated
carbon. Adsorption is most effective at lower temperatures and is affected by ambient
humidity. Periodic replacement of the activated carbon is required as buildup of compounds
on the filter media will occur. Carbon adsorption is considered technically infeasible for the
IR&D kiln as thermal oxidizers are not effective to control VOCs when there are low VOC
concentrations in the flue gas.
Good Management Practices (GMP)
GMP is a method of emissions control involving proper maintenance and operations of the
equipment.

● Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP);
● Wet Scrubber;
● Baghouse; and
● Good Management Practices (GMP).
Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
ESPs remove PM from exhaust by applying a high-voltage electrostatic charge and collecting
the particles on charged plates. ESPs are filterless devices that can remove fine particles.
Dry ESPs involve the removal of collected particles as dry material while wet ESPs remove
collected particles by washing the charged plates with water. ESPs are considered technically
infeasible for the IR&D kiln as they are most effective on metals and items of high resistivity.
Additionally, there is concern from NGSC about the high voltage required by ESPs.
Wet Scrubber
Wet scrubbers remove liquid or solid particles from a gas stream by transferring them to a
liquid, which is often water. All wet scrubbers include mist eliminators or entrainment
separators to remove entrained droplets. Wet scrubbers are considered technically infeasible
for use on the IR&D kiln as they are generally not used for fine particles, which is the
majority of the PM that will be emitted from the kiln.
Baghouse
Baghouses are dust collectors made of fabric filters that remove particulate matter via
filtration. There are different configurations for baghouses, which vary based on the method
of cleaning out inundate fabric filters. There are reverse air, pulse jet, and shaker
baghouses. Baghouses are considered technically infeasible for the IR&D kiln as they are
generally not used in practice for similarly sized equipment.
Good Management Practices (GMP)
GMP is a method of emissions control involving proper maintenance and operations of the
equipment.

5.7 NOx BACT Analysis for O-52 Oven
5.7.1 Step 1 – Identify Available Control Technologies
Potentially available control technologies for NOx include:
● Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR);
● Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR);
● Combustion Controls (Low-NOx and ultra-low NOx burners, LNB/ULNB); and
● Good Combustion Practices (GCP).
Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR)
FGR is a NOx control technology wherein the exhaust gas is routed into the inlet with the
addition of a forced hot gas fan.19 FGR is most effective for natural gas and low-nitrogen
fuels because it lowers the available oxygen which reduces the formation of NOx. The NOx
capture efficiency of FGR is 30-60 percent.20 FGR is considered technically infeasible on the

O-52 oven as flue gas recirculation adds an inconsistent heat output element to the fuel,
which is unsuitable for NGSC as tight temperature tolerances for the process require the gas
stream to maintain a constant heat output value.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
SCR is a method of NOx control that utilizes a catalyst and reagent to reduce NOx emissions.
SCR is typically implemented on stationary source combustion units which require a high
level of NOx reduction 21. Urea is generally used as the reduction reagent. NOx removal
efficiencies for SCR are high, at 90 percent.22 SCR is considered technically infeasible on the
O-52 oven as SCR is generally applied to large combustion units (>100 MMBtu/hr), and SCR
is most effective for exhaust streams with high temperatures and NOx concentrations.
Combustion Controls (Low-NOx and ultra-low NOx burners, LNB/ULNB)
NOx formation can be reduced through the restriction of oxygen, flame temperature, or
residence time, which is the principle of LNB technology. Staged fuel and staged air burners
are both intended to reduce the formation of thermal NOx. When LNB technology is
implemented, emissions of NOx can be reduced by 50 percent compared to standard
burners.23 An ULNB is a type of LNB that can reduce NOx emissions to very low levels,
usually below 30 ppmv, corrected to 3 percent oxygen.24 ULNB technology has been shown
to achieve NOx emissions of 9 ppmv.25 LNB/ULNB technology is considered technically
infeasible as controls are not demonstrated in practice for natural-gas fired equipment with
firing rates less than 10 MMBtu/hr.
Good Combustion Practices (GCP)
GMP is a method of emissions control involving proper maintenance and operations of
combustion equipment. Some GMPs are the use of natural gas as fuel, proper air ratios, and
routine tune-ups.

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO)
RTOs are the most common type of thermal oxidizer technology. RTOs typically use ceramic
direct contact heat exchangers to achieve temperatures high enough to ignite the waste
stream and destroy VOCs/HAPs. RTOs are considered technically infeasible for the O-52 oven
as thermal oxidizers are not effective to control VOCs when there are low VOC
concentrations in the flue gas.
Carbon Adsorption System
Carbon adsorption generally involves the adsorption of organic compounds on activated
carbon. Adsorption is most effective at lower temperatures and is affected by ambient
humidity. Periodic replacement of the activated carbon is required as buildup of compounds
on the filter media will occur. Carbon adsorption is considered technically infeasible for the
O-52 oven as thermal oxidizers are not effective to control VOCs when there are low VOC
concentrations in the flue gas.

5.10 PM BACT Analysis for O-52 Oven
5.10.1 Step 1 – Identify Available Control Technologies
Potentially available control technologies for PM include:
● Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP);
● Wet Scrubber;
● Baghouse; and
● Good Combustion Practices (GCP).
Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
ESPs remove PM from exhaust by applying a high-voltage electrostatic charge and collecting
the particles on charged plates. ESPs are filterless devices that can remove fine particles.
Dry ESPs involve the removal of collected particles as dry material while wet ESPs remove
collected particles by washing the charged plates with water. ESPs are considered technically
infeasible for the O-52 oven as they are most effective on metals and items of high
resistivity. Additionally, there is concern from NGSC about the high voltage required by ESPs.
Wet Scrubber
Wet scrubbers remove liquid or solid particles from a gas stream by transferring them to a
liquid, which is often water. All wet scrubbers include mist eliminators or entrainment
separators to remove entrained droplets. Wet scrubbers are considered technically infeasible
for use on the O-52 oven as they are generally not used for fine particles, which is the
majority of the PM that will be emitted from the kiln.
Baghouse
Baghouses are dust collectors made of fabric filters that remove particulate matter via
filtration. There are different configurations for baghouses, which vary based on the method
of cleaning out inundate fabric filters. There are reverse air, pulse jet, and shaker
baghouses. Baghouses are considered technically infeasible for the O-52 oven as they are
generally not used in practice for similarly sized equipment.

Wet Scrubber
Wet scrubbers remove liquid or solid particles from a gas stream by transferring them to a
liquid, which is often water. All wet scrubbers include mist eliminators or entrainment
separators to remove entrained droplets. Wet scrubbers are considered technically infeasible
for use on the O-52 oven as they are generally used for streams with high SO2
concentrations, which NGSC’s O-52 oven does not have.
Low Sulfur Fuels
Low sulfur fuels such as natural gas reduce SO2 emissions compared to high sulfur fuels such
as coal. Use of natural gas is considered technically feasible for use on the O-52 oven.
Good Combustion Practices (GCP)

Potentially available control technologies for VOC include:
● Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO);
● Carbon Adsorption System;
● Compliance with Utah R307-355 Aerospace Coatings Rule; and

Compliance with Utah R307-355 Aerospace Coatings Rule
The R307-355 Aerospace Coatings Rule outlines regulations to limit emissions of VOCs from
aerospace coatings and adhesives, from organic solvent cleaning and from the storage and
disposal of solvents and waste solvent material. The rule includes VOC content limits for
different coating types. Compliance with R307-355 is considered technically feasible for the
spray booth.
Good Management Practices (GMP)
GMP is a method of emissions control involving proper maintenance and operations of the
equipment. GMP for a spray booth involves closing containers when they are not in use and
promptly cleaning up spills, among other techniques.

5.12.4 Step 4 – Evaluate Energy, Environmental, and Economic Impacts and Other
Costs
As emissions of VOC from the spray booth are only 1.2 TPY, the cost of any add-on control
system such as a carbon adsorption system is economically infeasible. In a 2019 BACT
analysis, NGSC found that a carbon adsorber for a spray booth with a PTE of 0.54 TPY had a
cost effectiveness of $2.6 million/ton of VOC for canister replacement and $187,565/ton of
VOC for carbon replacement. As costs for these systems have not changed drastically, this is
considered economically infeasible.
Compliance with R307-355 and GMP were not further analyzed.

NGSC has selected compliance with R307-355 and GMP as BACT for VOC emissions from the
spray booth. These measures are widely accepted as BACT for similar source types.

vent 3-stage fabric filter will be installed with the spray booth.
HVLP Spray Guns
HVLP spray guns are high-volume, low-pressure spray guns which reduce PM emissions from
paint application. HVLP spray guns result in better coverage and less material loss. They are
considered technically feasible for the spray booth as they are already in place on another of

All other emission factors, except CO2 and NH3, from AP-42 Chapter 11.7,
Table 11.7-2.
S represents the raw material sulfur content (percent). There is no sulfur in
the raw material, so S was taken as zero.
HF emissions were omitted as fluorides are not present in the fired ceramic.
Fluoride emissions were omitted as fluorides are not present in the fired
ceramic.
CO2 and NH3 emissions were conservatively estimated by subtracting all
other pollutant emissions (in tpy) from the annual mass lost assuming a 10%
mass loss during each run (1.12 TPY). As there is no speciation information
for the process, it is conservatively assumed that the remaining mass could
be either all CO2 or all NH3.
