  4. History 1930 International Paper & American Cyanamid JV formed 1936 Begin crude sulfate turpentine fractionation in Panama City 1949 Begin crude tall oil fractionation in Panama city 1985 Wholly-owned subsidiary of International Paper 1986 Sylvachem acquisition, Port St. Joe 1989 Reichhold/Newport division acquisition, Pensacola

  5.

  6. Customer Industries • Adhesives • Agriculture • Automotive • Chewing Gum • Coatings • Construction • Flavor & Fragrance • Food & Beverages • Graphic Arts • Lubricants • Metalworking • Mining • Oil Field • Paper • Polymer Additive • Rubber • Soaps & Cleaners • Textiles

  7. Panama City Plant P2 Activities • 80+% reduction in TRI emissions (EPA Hammer Award) • 60+% reduction in hazardous waste generation • 51% reduction in consumptive use of well water • 300+ TPY reduction in air emissions (VOCs and TRS)

  8. Factors Affecting the Project • Major production units installed prior to air permitting regulations • Major production units remained unregulated in the Title V Permit issued in 1998 • Very high potentials to emit for these unregulated units. • EPA’s PSD reinterpretation • Challenge to increase production quickly

  9. Options • Modify process only (Construction Permit required) • Modify the process and install new pollution control equipment (Construction Permit required) • Emission increase, decrease, or no change • Complete or partial emissions control

  10. Our Solution • Installation of pollution control device pictured at the right • Partial control of process emissions • Emissions reductions exceeding 300 TPY • Increase in allowable production rates of >25% • Met project timelines

  11. Thermal Oxidizer Process Flow

  12. Lessons Learned • Involve FDEP early and often • If possible, treat your regulator as a project team member • Put yourself in the regulator’s place, the more you can offer the faster the project timeline • Make sure that all parties involved are getting something from the project
