What
Ohio EPA invites the public to submit comments on a draft renewal of the permit to install and operate air emission sources at Alterra Energy LLC, located at 1200 East Waterloo Road, Akron.
Why
Ohio EPA has issued a draft renewal permit-to-install and operate for the facility’s plastics recycling unit. If Ohio EPA renews the permit, the company can continue operating its plastics-to-pyrolysis oil unit, which has a maximum capacity of 5,000 pounds of plastic feed per hour.
Other Information
Alterra’s plastics recycling line uses a pyrolysis kiln to break down hard-to-recycle plastics into a basic form of oil, called raw petrochemical feedstock. The equipment includes a machine that feeds the pyrolysis kiln and equipment that collects the oil produced. Any gases that don’t condense into liquid during the process are sent to an enclosed vapor combustion unit to burn them off and reduce other air emissions.
