The leakage of sulfuric acid was the main environmental risk of lead-acid batteries in the process of production, processing, transportation, use or storage. According to the project scale the sulfuric acid leakage rate was calculated to be 0.190kg/s, and the leakage amount in 10 minutes was about 114kg.
Through the BSER review conducted for the source category, we found that since the promulgation of the NSPS in 1982, it has become feasible and common for lead acid battery manufacturing plants to control lead emissions from several processes with fabric filters.
For existing affected lead acid battery component manufacturing facilities that become subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, the compliance date for all applicable requirements is 3 years after the publication date of the final rule.
Through this review, we discovered that no lead acid battery manufacturing facilities currently conduct lead reclamation as the process is defined in 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK. However, there was mention of lead reclamation equipment in the operating permits for two facilities, and that equipment is controlled with fabric filters.
(b) Lead acid battery manufacturing plant means any plant that produces a storage battery using lead and lead compounds for the plates and sulfuric acid for the electrolyte.
The EPA also set GACT standards for the lead acid battery manufacturing source category on July 16, 2007. These standards are codified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, and are applicable to existing and new affected facilities.
