Re: Permit Application - No. 3 Process Waste Incinerator
Dear Mr. Von Bodungen:
PPG is presently operating two permitted high temperature process waste incinerators for the thermal destruction of liquid and gaseous chlorohydrocarbon waste. PPG plans to install a third incinerator for the purpose of thermal incineration of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) from the present manufacturing unit and the VCM tank car loading facilities.
o The incinerator combustion chamber will operate at 2 200 F. The combustion gases will pass through the heat recovery boiler system for energy conservation. The heat recovery boiler system will produce 50,000 Ibs/hr of 185 psig steam. The No. 3 Incinerator will operate parallel to the two existing incinerators. Liquid organic waste and gaseous vents from existing operating units will be integrated into the feed system of the new incinerator system.
The incinerator is designed with a primary and secondary scrubbers with adequate column design and packing for gas distribution for scrubbing. The incinerator scrubber system is designed to meet the VCM Federal emissions standards. PPG is installing VCM and chlorohydrocarbon analytical instrumentation for monitoring the secondary scrubber stacks from the No. 3 Incinerator and the No. I and 2 incinerators.

Our proposed application for the No. 3 Incinerator is attached. We are sending only two copies and one EIQ for you and your staff to review. We realize additional copies will be needed for the Commission members as the proposed permit is finalized. C. A. Burns, at 318-882-1200, ext. 2370, will assist you and your staff.
Please be assured of our continued cooperation with your staff and the Commission.
Very truly yours,

Stock. No. 1-77 - Process Waste Incinerator. The No. 3 Incinerator will be the Control device far the present vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) plant and present VCM tank car loading
focilities. The No. 3 Incinerator system will operate parallel to the two existing incinerators.
Liquid organic waste from the. Bottoms Plant and gaseous waste from the liquid-phase EDC, OHC-EDC, Per/Trichloroethylene, "Tri-Ethane" II, end the VCM will be incinerated. The
incinerator unit is being manufactured by Trane Thermal Company, Conchohacken, Pennsylvania.
The No. 3 Incinerator operating temperature of the combustion chamber will be 2200 F.
and retention time will be c minimum of 0.75 seconds. The combustion air capacity Is
designed at 750,000 scfh. The No. 3 Incinerator will be equipped with an auxiliary burner for added flexibility In operating the system. The combustion gases from the incinerator pass
through the heat recovery boiler system and thence to the scrubbers. The Incinerctor will have
c primary (acid absorber) scrubber and a secondary scrubber. Each of the scrubbers is designed
for adequate gas distribution for scrubbing. Details are shown on Exhibit V, attached. The
secondary scrubber will be monitored from the stock with analytical instrumentation for VCM
end chlorohydroccrbons and in accordance with requirements of EPA regulations.
Exhibit V - Schematic of No. 3 Process Wcste Incinerator System. The combustion of the vent gases from the present VCM facility, i.e., manufacturing unit and VCM tank car loading, is
