Permits(s) Applied for: 1 - Article 19 Air State Facility
Project is located: in MIDDLETOWN in ORANGE COUNTY
Project Description:
The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination, subject to public comment or other information, to issue a new Air State Facility permit to Poly Craft Industries Corp for the operation of a new flexographic printing facility in Middletown, NY with four Uteco flexographic printing presses that apply solvent-based inks to plastic bags and industrial packaging applications which will emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). A new ASF pursuant to 6 NYCRR Subpart 201-5 is required for the use of four flexographic printing presses. All flexographic press emissions from emission unit U00001 will vent to a new regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) to control VOC.
As per 6 NYCRR Part 201-7, VOC emissions are capped to 89,539 pounds per year to maintain facility emissions below the major source thresholds and to avoid the requirement for an Air Title V permit. VOC emissions from Emission Unit U00001, consisting of the four flexographic printing presses, shall be calculated
monthly based on ink and solvent usage. The facility is required to submit to the Department an annual compliance report.
