Cluster Rule update
April 15th is the official release date of the Cluster
Rule & Federal Register publication. The Cluster Rule became
effective on June 30th, 1998. The following is a snapshot of the
Final rule's impact to pulp mills:
Air: The final air rule covers MACT1 emissions (non-combustion
sources from pulping and bleaching operations at chemical and semi-chemical
wood pulping mills); and MACT III emissions (non-combustion sources
from mills that mechanically pulp wood, pulp secondary fibers, or
pulp non-wood materials, and those that use paper machine additives
and solvents)*.

Protection Agency

Cluster Rule Update - Imminent publication in
the Federal Register
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had sent the final
and "ready-to-print" version of the Cluster Rule to the
Office of Federal Register for official publication. According to
reliable sources, the expected official publication date should
be during the week of April 20th, 1998.
The official promulgation date of the Cluster Rule
is on the same date as Federal Register publication and the rule
will be effective 60 days after publication.
As requested by the Cluster Rule, the three-year
and eight-year compliance periods for existing sources start at
the date of promulgation (Federal Register publication). The compliance
date for new sources (sources installed after the Cluster Rule Proposal
on December 17th, 1993) is upon effective or startup, whichever
comes later.

ENVIRONAIR has patented a new kind of
dynamic process control
U.S. Patent # 5,720,926 : Apparatus for Removing
a Contaminant from a Gas
With this patent, ENVIRONAIR reveals a new way for
the process control of absorption towers (scrubbing towers) in order
to minimize the use of chemical reagents. In air pollution control,
absorption is a well-known method for pollution control. It is usually
performed with the use of a chemical active scrubbing liquid that
reacts with the pollutant. For economical reasons, the use of chemical
reagents should be minimized. Due to fluctuations in the concentration
of pollutants, it is difficult to maintain high removal efficiency
without an excess of reagents. Thus the present patent shows a new
kind of dynamic process control to optimize the use of chemical
reagents while maintaining high removal efficiency. The dynamic
process control uses a dual loop control, which gives a faster response
in time compared to the simple loop feedback control system.

NCG and chlorinated gases, creates a leader in integrated environmental
solutions for the pulp and paper industry.
U.S.Filter/HPD and ENVIRONAIR The agreement establishes
an exclusive mutual alliance for the pulp and paper industry in
North America and designates ENVIRONAIR as the exclusive representative

"Cluster Rule"
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finally
issued the "Cluster Rule". This action will reduce releases
of toxic pollutants from pulp, paper, and paperboard mills to air
and water. According to EPA Administrator, Ms. Carol Browner, it
will "virtually eliminate dioxin discharges into waterways
and reduce many other toxic pollutants into air and water from the
nation's pulp and paper mills". EPA have created an information
site (http://www.epa.gov/OST/pulppaper/)
that includes regulatory information, fact sheets, supporting documents,
and technical contacts.
ENVIRONAIR will release on his website a complete
summary of the "Cluster Rule" including major requirements
for mills.
