This value applies to each release
The annual flux of diffuse emissions shall not exceed 30 % of the amount of VOC used (solvents used, reactive VOCs).
Derogations from the above VOC emission limit values may be Granted by the prefect, if the operator demonstrates the acceptability of the risks to Human health or the environment and uses the best available techniques at an economically acceptable cost.
II. -Specific activities:

If solvent consumption is greater than 15 tonnes per year, the general case provisions are replaced by the following provisions:
Non-methane VOC emission limit value In the channelized releases, expressed as total carbon, is 20 mg/m³. However, in the event of the use of a technique for the reuse of the recovered solvent, the channelized emission limit value, expressed as total carbon, shall be increased to 150 mg/m³, except in the case of the use of compounds mentioned in V.
The annual flux of diffuse emissions shall not exceed 25 % of the quality of solvents used. The annual flux of diffuse emissions does not include solvents sold, with products or preparations, in a hermetically sealed container.
Derogations from the above VOC emission limit values may be Be granted, by the prefect, if the operator demonstrates the acceptability of the risks to human health or the environment and uses the best available techniques at an economically acceptable
. Above do not apply if total annual emissions (channeted ) of VOCs are less than or equal to 25 % of the solvent quality used annually. In this case, the general case provisions apply.
II-2. Production of expanded polystyrene:
For the manufacture of expanded polystyrene, the provisions of the general case are replaced by the following provisions.
The operator is implementing procedures to reduce VOC emissions from the Its installation including:

IV. -VOC emission limit values for the use of substances listed in Annex III to this Order:
If the total hourly flux, emitted in a canalised or diffuse form, of the organic compounds referred to in Annex III exceeds 0.1 kg/h, the value Emission limit is 20 mg/m³ VOC. This limit value applies to each canalized rejection and to the mass sum of the different compounds.
In the case of mixtures of compounds which are both intended and not included in Annex III, the limit value of 20 mg/m³ shall be limited to the compounds referred to in the Annex III and the limit values set out in paragraphs I, II and III are binding on all compounds.
V.-VOC emission limit values for use of risk phrase substances R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60 or R 61 and Halogenated compounds with risk phrase R 40 or R 68, with risk phrases as defined In the decree of 20 April 1994 referred to above:
The substances or preparations to which the risk phrases R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60 or R 61 are affixed, because of their content of volatile organic compounds Carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction, are replaced as much as possible by less harmful substances or preparations. If this replacement is not technically and economically feasible, the emission limit value is 2 mg/m³ in VOC, if the maximum hourly flow of the entire facility, emitted in a channelled and diffuse form, is greater than or equal to 10 g/h. This limit value applies to each canalized rejection and to the mass sum of the different compounds.
In the case of mixtures of intended and non-subject compounds, the limit value of 2 mg/m³ is only applicable to the above compounds and the values Limits set out in paragraphs I, II and III shall apply to all compounds.
For emissions of halogenated volatile organic compounds labelled R 40 or R 68, a emission limit value of 20 mg/m³ shall be imposed if the maximum hourly flux Of the entire installation, emitted in canalised and diffuse form, is superior Or equal to 100 g/h.

The prefect may grant a derogation from the requirements of the preceding subparagraphs if the operator demonstrates, on the one hand, that he uses the best Available at an acceptable economic cost and, on the other hand, there is no need for Fear of significant risk to human health and the
. -Implementation of a pattern of VOC emissions control:
The VOC emission limit values defined in paragraphs I and II above shall not apply to releases from installations subject to a VOC emission control scheme (2), as defined
. Scheme ensures that the total flow of VOC emissions from the facility does not exceed the flow that would be achieved by strict application of the limit values of the canalized and diffuse emissions defined in this Order.
The scheme is developed From an installation reference emission level corresponding to the Level achieved if no VOC emission reduction measures were implemented on the facility.
Facilities, or parts thereof, in which one or more of the substances referred to in the Paragraphs IV and V above may be the subject of an emission control scheme. However, the substances referred to in paragraphs IV and V above, which shall remain used in the installation despite the implementation of the emission control scheme, shall remain subject to compliance with the limit values laid down in paragraphs IV and V Above.
(c) The discharge point for atmospheric effluents must exceed at least 3 metres in buildings within a 15 metre radius.
d) Oders:
All necessary arrangements are made to limit odours from Installation. Raw or intermediate products likely to emit odours are stored in closed containers as much as possible.
6.3. Monitoring by the Pollution Operator Rejected
a) General case:
I.-The operator shall establish a monitoring programme for the emission characteristics of the pollutants referred to in point 6.2. Rejected:
A measurement of the discharge and concentration of pollutants is carried out according to the standard methods in effect, at least every year. However, pollutants that are not likely to be emitted by the facility are not subject to periodic measurements. In this case, the operator shall make available to the inspection of installations classified as technical elements for certifying the absence of such pollutants in releases.
Measures shall be carried out, where possible, by a Approved by the Minister responsible for classified installations.
In the absence of a standard specific method and when the compounds are in particulate or vesicular form, the isokinetic sampling conditions described by the NFX standard 44.052 are met.
These measures are performed on a duration Approximately half an hour, under conditions that are representative of the operation of the facility.
In the event of a non-compliance with the activity or equipment, a representative measurement of the discharges, an assessment of the conditions of the Operation and the capacity of the cleaning equipment to respect the limit values is realized.
II. -The prefect may request the production of odour measures, at the expense of the operator, according to the standard methods in force, if the installation is the subject of complaints relating to odour nuisance.
(b) Specific cases:
I.-When The solvent consumption of the facility is greater than one tonne/year, the operator shall put in place a solvent management plan, including the entry and exit of solvents from the facility. This plan shall be drawn up at least every year and kept at the disposal of the inspection of classified installations, as well as any proof of solvent consumption (invoices, name of suppliers ...).
II. -Ongoing monitoring of emissions of all VOCs to the exclusion of methane is achieved if, throughout the facility, one of the following conditions is met:
1. The maximum hourly VOC flux to the exclusion of methane, expressed in total carbon, exceeds:
-15 kg/h in the general case;
-10 kg/h if a VOC-laden gas cleaning equipment is required to meet the emission limit values.
2. The maximum hourly flux of VOCs to the exclusion of methane Paragraph III of point 6.2.b.2 of this annex, or presenting a risk phrase R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60 or R 61, or halogenated compounds having a risk phrase R 40 or R 68, exceeds 2 kg/h (expressed in sum of the compounds).
This Ongoing monitoring (case 1 and 2 above) can be replaced by tracking a parameter Representative, correlated with emissions. This correlation will have to be periodically confirmed by a measurement of emissions.
For continuous measurements, the emission limit value is considered to be met when none of the 24-hour averages Normal does not exceed the emission limit value, and none of the hourly averages exceed 1.5 times the emission limit value.
III. -In the case where the hourly flux of VOCs referred to in paragraph 6.2 b. 2 of this Order or presenting risk phrases R 45, R 46, R 49, R 60 or R 61 or halogenated compounds labelled R 40 or R 68 exceeds 2 kg/h throughout the facility, periodic measurements of each of the VOCs present will be carried out To correlate the measurement of all non-methane VOCs with the compounds actually present.
IV. -Where the installation is equipped with an oxydator, compliance with the NOx, methane and CO emission limit values provided for in paragraph III of point 6.2 b. 2 is checked at least every three years by a recognised organisation, on a continuous and stable basis. "
