When dealing with the calculation and determine the compliance of this scenario you must always follow the surface coating rules and guidelines that has to formulated on a basis of Chapter 106 , which is found in the guidelines of Title 30 Texas Administration Code in which you will have to calculate the total amount of volatile organic compounds and then exempt solvents which is therefore, produced or produced for this part of the operation (TCEQ REGULATORY GUIDANCE, 2011). First of all, you will have to determine how much each gallon of coating will have a pollutant or impurity in it. If the coating that you have in reday mix or not mixed you will then have to determine its VOCs and exempt –solvent content from the …show more content…

Exempt Solvent Calculations (TCEQ REGULATORY GUIDANCE, 2011): You will use this calculation to determine how many pounds there are in exempt content there are in the thinner and mixed coating. Exempt coating for Element A – Multiply 0.5 pounds per gallon of ES by 5 gallons that will equal 2.5 pounds of ES. The ES content is 0.0 and then you will have to add the two amounts to gether to get 2.5 pounds of ES. Then divide the total amount of pounds of ES by the total gallons of the mixed coatign and thinner to get 0.45 pounds of ES per gallon. Example B Coating for a Multiple Component (TCEQ REGULATORY GUIDANCE, 2011): In this particular example the paint supplier have suggested that you use a mixing ration of an 2 part of the Element of A to the Element of B which is 1 part to get the ratio of 2:1. Therefore, you will be mixing one gallon of element A and Element B (0.5) to get an total of 1.5 gallon of a mixed coating. VOC Calculations (TCEQ REGULATORY GUIDANCE, 2011): Determine the VOC in Element A: You will need to multiply 2.8 pounds of VOC per gallon times 1.0 gallons. Determine the VOC in Element B: You will need to multiply 1.2 pounds of VOC per …show more content…

Add the two amount together of Element A and B to get the pounds of VOC (multiple component) which will equal 3.4 pounds of VOC. You will then divide the total pounds of VOC (3.4) by the total gallons of mixed coating which is (1.5) to get VOC per gallon of 2.27. Exempt-Solvent Calculation to determine how many pounds of exempt solvent there are in a mixed coating by Multiplying 0.5 pounds per gallon of ES by a gallon (1) to get the total of 0.5 pounds od ES. Component B to determine its pounds of ES by multiplying 0.8 lbs of ES per gallon by the amount of 0.5 gallons in order to get 0.4 pounds of ES. You will add both amounts together (0.5 to 0.4) in order to get pounds for the ES which is 0.9 pounds of ES. Divide the total amount of ES (0.9) by the total gallons (1.5) of mixed coating to get 0.6 pounds of ES. Example Coating C: Multiple Component Coating with and Thinner (TCEQ REGULATORY GUIDANCE, 2011): In this example once again the paint supplier have given us the recommend mixing ration for
