Posted: February 22nd, 2022

Please see the attach instructions.
Each part should be done individually.
The textbook should be one of the sources used.
Part 1-Unit 2.
In our last unit, we learned about the atmosphere and atmospheric pollutants, causally related to air quality problems. We also took our first look at the base material that we will be using in our Mini Projects in every unit (Units 2-7), as we draft an air permit evaluation throughout this course, using the template I provide below to build the evaluation sections for each unit. In this unit, we will be learning engineering strategies for engineering outdoor air quality. Further, we will be beginning our air permit evaluation draft. You will be permitting the facility for the state in which you currently reside. For example, do not attempt to permit it for Texas if you do not live in Texas.
*******************************
Note:
(a) Download and use the active template (type directly into the MSWord document, and save your changes before you submit it for a grade every unit for Units 2-7).
(e) Any required calculations are fully presented and explained within the Study Guide every unit. As such, simply read the Study Guide and present any explained calculations mathematically with empirical math within the permit evaluation draft.
Use the rest of the section of your paper (every unit) to present a narrative of the EH&S concerns, using Godish, Davis, and Fu’s (2014) book in every section, and to compare the calculations against the regulatory standard provided and explained in the Study Guide. Do not try and explain the calculations, since you will have already presented them. For the Unit 2 section, I want to see two tables in your document: (a) the information from the tabulated SDS information, and (b) the information from the tabulated DEQ limits.
***************************************
This unit you will be completing the following:
1. Reading Chapter 4.
2. Reading the Study Guide.
3. Completing your Unit 2 Mini Project (to be used for all work for Units 2-7, starting in this unit) with this active template
Instructions
Over the course of the next six units, you will be developing a course project. You will complete a single section of the course project in every unit by completing one section of the course project, and then you will add to it with the subsequent work in the following unit. This unit work will be in the form of unit mini projects.
Our course project will be to develop a document titled “A Permit by Rule (PBR) Evaluation for a Painting Operation” and will serve as a simulation of our work as a contract environmental engineer to an industrial organization planning a painting operation within the United States.
The Scenario:
You have contracted with an industrial organization to engineer and write a state air Permit by Rule (PBR) evaluation for a painting operation facility. According to the local state laws and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laws, the facility must have an air permit before construction begins. Once the facility is completed, the construction air permit will then become the operational air permit for the facility.
As a result, your client wants the air permit to automatically align the painting operation facility into operational compliance with state and federal air quality laws. Consequently, it is extremely important for you to evaluate the planned painting operation against the PBR requirements in order to meet the air permit criteria, using the state guidance document and considering the equipment and chemicals already planned for the facility operations.
You have tabulated the following information from what you have gleaned from the material SDS documents and equipment technical data sheets plan (depending on your scenario selection, each “unit” represents a single aircraft, rail tank car, or vehicle):
See mini project pic 1
Additionally, your state’s department of environmental quality (DEQ) has provided you the following PBR limits:
Potential to Emit (PTE) 100 tons VOC/year
Face Velocity 100 ft/min
Filter Velocity 250 ft/min
VOC/5-hour period 6.0 lbs/hr
Short-term Emissions 1.0 lbs/hr
Long-term Emissions 1.0 tons/yr
From your first visit with your client, these are your notes and process flow sketch reflecting the intended operational design:
The client has designed an interior coating spray painting system that allows the interior of each unit to be coated.
The operations will involve a stripped-down unit being brought into the facility’s shop.
The shop is a steel building with a finished concrete floor and a paint booth for each unit.
The unit will be placed in the spray booth.
The booth will be opened at one end of the booth for makeup air.
The exhaust air will flow through an exhaust chamber at the other end of the unit.
For each unit, once the liner application operations are completed, the forced curing (drying) operations will immediately commence.
Booth Exhaust Chamber
Instructions:
Closely read the required reading assignment from the textbook and the unit lesson within the study guide, and consider reading the suggested reading.
Select the PBR evaluation document to be for only one of the following: (a) an aircraft manufacturing exterior coating paint booth, (b) a rail tank car interior lining process, or (c) a vehicle exterior coating paint booth. You will continue with this scenario selection for the remaining six units, to complete the entire document.
Using APA style (title page, abstract page, body with level 1 headings, and a reference page) for a research paper, begin drafting a PBR evaluation document. You will add to this document in every subsequent unit with another prescribed level 1 heading, building out the entire document one section at a time.
Make your Unit II work the first level 1 heading (center, bold) titled “General Considerations for Operation,” and describe the scenario that is presented above, while specifically describing the scenario that you selected (aircraft, tank car, or vehicle). While describing your scenario, you must include the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) implications of the work system while pulling from the textbook as well as any other relevant sources that are presented in the unit lesson in the study guide. In your description of the EHS implications of the system, be sure to discuss the natural and anthropomorphic variables causally related to outdoor air pollution. You are required to describe the scenario in at least 200 words (minimum). You must recreate the SDS table in your General Considerations section of the permit for future reference throughout the rest of the course.
Also under the first level 1 heading, present a box and line process flow diagram (PFD) drawing of the selected scenario. See the drawing on page 375 of the textbook as an additional example of a PFD if you need assistance understanding how to draw one; do not draw the same system that is provided on that page. Do not hand-draw this, but use the “insert” and “shapes” features within Microsoft Word to construct the PFD. Simple labeled boxes and lines are adequate for this preliminary work, so it is not necessary to present specific shapes in your PFD for your selected scenario.
In your abstract section (page 2 of the document), write one or two sentences that reflect your work for this unit. For example, if you live in Alabama and if you chose to do this for a vehicle exterior coating paint booth, you could write “ABC Industries is conducing a Permit by Rule (PBR) evaluation for a future vehicle exterior coating facility that will be located in Alabama. Throughout this PBR evaluation process, volatile organic compounds (VOC) will be an important area of consideration, while working with the Alabama Department of Environment (ADEM) for permit authorization.” We will be adding one sentence per unit to reflect our work as we go, with the final abstract length being about 8 to 10 sentences long.
In following units (Units III through VII), the unit lessons will contain information related to the interior surface coating operation by means of practical mathematical calculation examples. Consequently, it is imperative that you read the unit lessons within the study guide in every unit, use the math calculation examples provided in each unit lesson, and consider the current (as well as previous) material from the textbook and the additional information cited and referenced in the study guide for every unit. This project will serve as a comprehensive demonstration of your applied learning of engineering air quality.
Your completed mini project should be a minimum of one page, not counting the title page, abstract page, and reference page. You are required to use at least one outside source in addition to your textbook, which must be a cited and referenced source from the affected unit’s Study Guide. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.
