Question: Our client, REGLASS Inc., has asked us to design an air pollution control system that will ensure PM air emissions from their new recycled glass

Our client, REGLASS Inc., has asked us to design an air pollution control system that will ensure
PM air emissions from their new recycled glass processing facility in CT, will meet the regulatory
standards.
Site specific information: The site is a recycled glass processing facility. The recycling process
produces particulate matter as a byproduct (PM10 and PM2.5). The facility has two stacks which
have the potential to emit substantial amounts of PM10 and PM2.5. Potential emissions assume
that the equipment is running 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.
Table 1: PM Potential input and emission factors per stack (determined by tests on a similar
facility).
Table 2: Stack characteristics
You need to conduct a review of the requirements for a New Source Permit according to the
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and the US
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)(web resources are provided at the end of this
document). the question needed to be answered is Define the required collection efficiency for the air pollution control system to ensure atmospheric concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 from each stack do not exceed the NAAQS.
