Free Guide: Quantifying Air Emissions from Purge Solvent Sources

Industrial waste collected from purging or flushing contains both paint and solvents. The most challenging aspect of calculating VOC emissions from waste derived from the purging process is knowing the percentage of paint present in the waste for the VOC emissions calculation. Without this vital information, environmental professionals in the paints and coatings industry risk over-reporting and falling out of compliance with regulations and permits.

ERA's team of scientists has a series of accurate and tested calculations that you can use in your facility to effectively work out the ratio of paint to solvent. Request the eBook by completing the form to the right and you’ll get an email with your free copy immediately.
