Equation A
where:
VOCmulti is the VOC content of an as applied multi-stage topcoat, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating minus water and excluded compounds.
VOCbc is the VOC content of the as applied basecoat, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating minus water and excluded compounds.
VOCmci is the VOC content of the as applied mid-coat(s), expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating minus water and excluded compounds.
VOCcc is the VOC content of the as applied clear coat, expressed as pounds of VOC per gallon of coating minus water and excluded compounds.
M is the number of mid-coats.
Unless the appropriate emission control requirements of section 228-1.5 of this Subpart have been met or a process specific RACT variance has been granted in accordance with section 228-1.5(e) of this Part, a facility performing a class B coating process shall not operate unless the following strategies to control VOC emissions are used. The VOC content limits for class B coating lines can be met by averaging the VOC content of the materials used on a single surface coating unit each day (i.e., daily within- coating unit averaging).
