Section 112 of the Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to list and regulate categories of all major and some area sources that emit one or more of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in Section 112(b) of the Act. Secondary aluminum production facilities were listed under Section 112(c)(6) as sources for control of dioxin and furan emissions. Midwest Research Institute (MRI) obtained uncontrolled and controlled polycyclic organic matter (POM) and polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions data from the chip drying process and a side-well reverberatory furnace process at the Culp Aluminum Alloys facility in Steele, Alabama. Specifically, MRI measured POM and PAH emissions simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of the lime-injected baghouse used to control emissions from the chip dryer, and measured POM and PAH emissions simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of the lime-injected baghouse used to control emissions from a side-well reverberatory furnace.
