Key Benefits:
The use of solvents in certain activities gives rise to emissions of organic compounds into the atmosphere that can be harmful to health and cause significant damage to natural resources. Aware of the above, the Council of Ministers of the European Union adopted, on 11 March 1999, Directive 1999 /13/EC, which aims to prevent or reduce the harmful effects on persons and the environment of the environment. some activities that they use in their manufacturing or organic solvent work procedures in significant quantities.
This directive imposes on the holders of facilities in which such activities are carried out certain obligations, including the obligation not to exceed the different emission limit values specified or to reduce their emissions by other means, such as the use of products with low solvent content or free of them. In addition, in accordance with the said Community standard, the competent authorities shall verify compliance with the obligations imposed, with the holders of the facilities being obliged to provide the data and information to the competent authorities. necessary for the development of their work.
In order to ensure the control of these activities, the Directive provides that those which are not subject to authorisation in accordance with the provisions of Council Directive 96 /61/EC of 24 September 1996 on the prevention and integrated control of pollution must be notified to the competent authority for registration.
In line with the above, the transposition of Directive 1999 /13/EC into national law was subject to the prior transposition of Directive 96 /61/EC, which has been carried out through the recently adopted Law. 16/2002, of 1 July, of integrated prevention and control of pollution, a provision for integrated environmental authorisation, which includes certain activities detailed in Annex 1, inter alia, facilities for the treatment of areas of materials, articles or products using organic solvents, with a consumption capacity of more than 150 kg of solvent time or more than 200 tonnes per year.
The Law also imposes on Article 7.2 the obligation to comply, as soon as the Government does not set the limit values for industrial activities falling within its scope, the values established in the the provisions referred to in Annex 2, which also includes a generic reference to the rules on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds due to the use of solvents in certain activities and installations industry, regulations that are established by this Royal Decree.
Finally, the fifth final provision of the Law empowers the Government to impose on the holders of facilities in which certain categories of activities are developed, not included in its scope, the the obligation to notify them to the respective Autonomous Communities for registration by them and subsequent control, and the rules governing that obligation shall also determine the requirements to which the operation of the facilities. Failure to comply with the notification requirement or the requirements indicated shall result in the imposition of, respectively, minor or serious penalties, which may become very serious when significant damage to the environment or to the environment is caused. for the health and safety of people.
Under the above, this Royal Decree incorporates into national law Directive 1999 /13/EC and lays down the requirements to be met by new installations using certain amounts of solvents for the development of their activities, either in order to enable them to be authorised in accordance with Law 16/2002, in the case of activities falling within their scope or registered, in the case of activities subject to prior notification to the competent authority in accordance with the provisions of the fifth additional provision of that Law . In addition, time limits are set for the existing installations for adaptation to those requirements.
Finally, this Royal Decree is dictated in accordance with the exclusive powers granted to the State by Article 149.1.16. of the Constitution, in the field of bases and general coordination of health and basic legislation. on environmental protection.

B) Consumer thresholds and total emission limit values for the vehicle coating industries
The total emission limit values are expressed in grams of solvent emitted in relation to the surface of the product in square meters and in kilograms of solvent emitted in relation to the body of the vehicle.
The surface area of any product cited in the table below is defined as follows: the surface area calculated from the total electrophoretic coating area, and the surface area of the parts which may be added in successive stages of the coating process which are coated with the same coating as has been used for the corresponding product, or the total surface area of the product covered in the installation.
The surface of the electrophoretic coating area is calculated using the following formula:
|
thickness of sheet metal × sheet density metal |
This method will also apply to other coated parts that are made of sheets.
The design should be used with computer help or other equivalent method to calculate the surface area of the other added parts, or the total surface area covered in the installation.
The total emission limit value of the table below refers to all phases of the process performed in the same installation from the electrophoretic coating, or any other type of coating process, The invention also relates to the final coating and polishing of the upper coating, as well as the solvent used in cleaning the process equipment, including pulverized booths and other fixed equipment, both during and outside of the production time. The total emission limit value is expressed as the sum of the mass of the organic compounds per m2 of the total surface area of the coated product and as the sum of the mass of the organic compounds per bodywork of the vehicle.

this Annex II.ANNEX III
Reduction System
I. Principles
The objective of the reduction system is to give the holder the opportunity to achieve, using other means, emission reductions equivalent to those achieved if the emission limit values are applied. To this end, the operator may apply any reduction system, specifically designed for installation, provided that an equivalent reduction in emissions is achieved in the end.
II. Practical example
1. The system described below may be used when coatings, varnishes, adhesives or inks are applied. If the method indicated below is not appropriate, the competent authority may allow the operator to apply any alternative exemption system from which it thinks that it complies with the principles set out here. The system design will take into account the following aspects:
(A) Where substitutes containing or are exempt from a low concentration of solvents are still in the process of development, an additional time must be given to the operator to implement their reduction plans. emissions.
B) The benchmark of the emission reductions should correspond as closely as possible to the emissions that would have occurred if no reduction measures were taken.
2. The following system should be applied to installations where it can be accepted and used to define the point of reference of emissions reductions a constant content of the product in solids.
A) The operator shall present a plan for the reduction of emissions, including in particular a decrease in the average solvent content of the total quantity used and/or greater efficiency in the use of solids to achieve a reduction of the total emissions from the installation at a given percentage of the annual reference emissions, known as the target emission. It must be done according to the following calendar:
| Period | Total annual emissions allowed at | |
|---|---|---|
| New Installations | Existing Installations | |
| For the 31-10-2005. | Target emissions x 1.5. | |
|
| For 31-10-2007 | Target emissions. |
B) The annual reference emission is calculated as follows:
a) The total mass of solids in the amount of coating, ink, varnish or adhesive consumed in one year is determined. Solids are all materials present in coatings, inks, varnishes and adhesives that solidify when water or volatile organic compounds evaporate.
(b) The annual reference emissions are calculated by multiplying the mass determined in paragraph (a) by the corresponding factor in the table below. The competent bodies may modify these factors according to the different facilities to reflect greater efficiency in the use of solids.
| Activity | Multiplication factor Used in paragraph b)
|
Print by rotogravure; flexography printing; lamination as part of a print activity; varnished as part of a print activity printing; wood coating; coating of fabrics, film of fibres or paper; coating with adhesives | 4 |
|---|---|---|
| Recovers from coils; vehicle finish refresh | 3 | |
|
contact box; aerospace coating | 2.33 | |
|
Other coatings and rotable screen printing | 1.5 |
c) The target emission is equal to the annual reference emission multiplied by a percentage equal to:
1. º (the diffuse emission value + 15) for the installations included in paragraph 6 and the lower threshold band of paragraphs 8 and 10 of Annex II.
2. º (the diffuse emission value + 5) for all other installations.
d) Compliance is considered to be achieved if the actual solvent emission determined according to the solvent management plan is less than or equal to the target emission.
ANNEX IV
Solvent Management Plan
1. Introduction
This annex gives guidance on the implementation of a solvent management plan. It contains the principles to be applied (point 2), reports on how to make the mass balance (point 3) and gives an indication of compliance verification requirements (point 4).
2. Principles
The solvent management plan serves the following objectives:
a) Verify compliance as specified in Article 7 (1).
b) Identify future reduction options.
c) Enable the availability of information to the public on solvent consumption, solvent emissions and compliance with this Royal Decree.
3. Definitions
The following definitions are used to calculate the mass balance.
Organic Solvent Input (I):
I1. Quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in acquired preparations used as raw material in the process during the period during which the mass balance is calculated.
I2. Quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in recovered and reused preparations as input of solvents in the process (the recycled solvent is counted each time it is used to perform the activity).
Organic Solvent Output (O):
O1. Emissions in waste gases.
O2. Organic solvents lost in water, where necessary taking into account the treatment of waste water when calculating O5.
O3. The amount of organic solvents that remain as contamination or residue in the product output of the process.
O4. Emissions not captured from organic solvents in the air. General ventilation of the rooms is included here, when air is released to the outside environment through windows, doors, vents and similar openings.
O5. Organic solvents or organic compounds lost due to chemical or physical reactions (including, for example, those that are destroyed, such as by incineration or other waste gas or wastewater treatment, or are captured, as per adsorption, to the extent that they are not accounted for in O6, O7 or O8).
O6. Organic solvents contained in the waste collected.
O7. Organic solvents or organic solvents contained in preparations, sold as commercial products.
O8. Organic solvents contained in recovered preparations for reuse in so far as they are not accounted for in O7.
O9. Organic solvents released by other routes.
4. Guidance on using the solvent management plan to verify compliance
The use of the solvent management plan will depend on the particular requirement to be verified, as follows:
1. Verification of compliance with the reduction option referred to in Annex III, with a total emission limit value expressed in solvent emissions per unit product, or in accordance with other provisions contained in Annex II.
(a) For all activities following Annex III, the solvent management plan for determining consumption (C) should be made annually. Consumption can be calculated according to the following equation:
C = I1-O8
A parallel exercise should be performed to determine the solids used in the coating in order to obtain each year the annual reference emission and the target emission.
(b) In order to assess compliance with a total emission limit value expressed in solvent emissions per unit product or in accordance with other provisions contained in Annex II, the management plan of the solvents to determine emissions (E). Emissions can be calculated according to the following equation:
E = F + O1
Where F is the diffuse emission as defined in paragraph (a) of paragraph 2. below. The emission figure should then be divided by the relevant product parameter.
(c) In order to assess compliance with the requirements of Article 4 (2) (b), the solvent management plan should be made annually to determine the total emissions from all activities. affected, and the figure obtained should be compared to the total emissions that would have occurred if the requirements mentioned in Annex II and III were met for each separate activity.
2. Determination of diffuse emissions by comparison with the diffuse emission values in Annex II:
a) Methodology: the diffuse emission can be calculated according to the following equation:
F = I1-O1-O5-O6-O7-O8
or
F = O2 + O3 + O4 + O9
This amount can be determined by direct measurement of quantities. Alternatively, an equivalent calculation can be made by other means, for example, using the efficiency of the process capture.
The diffuse emission value is expressed as the ratio of the input, which can be calculated according to the following equation:
I = I1 + I2
b) Frequency: the determination of diffuse emissions can be done by a brief but comprehensive set of measurements. You do not need to do this again until the team is modified.
