Emission standard of pollutants
for synthetic resin industry
1 Scope
This standard specifies the emission limits, monitoring, supervision and
management requirements for water pollutants and air pollutants from synthetic
resin industrial enterprises and their production facilities (including the
enterprises for synthetic resin processing and waste synthetic resin recycling
and processing as well as their production facilities).
This standard is applicable to the management of emission of water pollutants
and air pollutants in existing synthetic resin industrial enterprises or production
facilities, as well as the environmental impact assessment of synthetic resin
industrial construction projects, the design of environmental protection facilities,
the completion environmental protection acceptance, and the management of
emission of water pollutant and air pollutant after it is put into operation.
The monomer production equipment in the synthetic resin enterprise
implements the “Emission standards for pollutant of petrochemical industry”,
the production equipment of polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC) implements the
“Emission standards for emission of caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride
industry”.
This standard applies to the discharge of pollutants permitted by law. For the
selection of location of the newly-established pollution sources and the
management of the existing pollution source within the specially protected
regions, it shall follow the relevant provisions of such laws, regulations and rules
as the Water pollution prevention and control law of the People’s Republic of
China, the Air pollution prevention and control law of the People’s Republic of
China, the Marine environmental protection law of the People’s Republic of
China, the Law of the People's Republic of China on environmental pollution by
solid wastes, the Law of the People's Republic of China on environmental
impact assessment.

3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Synthetic resin
A kind of artificially synthetic polymer, which is divided into two types of
synthetic resins, thermoplastic and thermosetting, according to the behavior
after being heated. Wherein. the thermoplastic synthetic resin is a viscous
liquid or a heating softenable solid, which melts or softens when heated, is
in a plastic flow state under the action of an external force; the thermosetting
synthetic resin is the insoluble, infusible synthetic resin which is subjected to
chemical reactions under heating and pressure or under the action of the
curing agent and UV-light and finally cross-linked and solidified, which is not
reach grade II or above.
3.6
Direct discharge
The behavior of pollutant discharge units directly discharging water
pollutants into environmental water bodies.
3.7
Indirect discharge
The behavior of pollutant discharge units discharging water pollutants into
the public wastewater treatment system.
3.8
Volatile organic compounds
An organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical
reactions, or organic compound which is determined through measurement
or verification in accordance with the specified methods.
3.9
Non-methane hydrocarbon
The general name of the hydrocarbons other than methane (in terms of
carbon) which causes the detector to generate apparent response by the
use of the specified monitoring method. This standard uses “Non-methane
hydrocarbons (NMHC)” as a comprehensive control indicator for exhaust
funnel and volatile organic emissions at the plant boundary.
3.10
Volatile organic liquid
Any organic liquid that releases volatile organic compounds to the
atmosphere in any of the following conditions. (1) At 20 °C, the true vapor
pressure of the volatile organic liquid is greater than 0.3 kPa; (2) At 20 °C, in
the mixture, the total concentration of pure organic compound which has a
true vapor pressure greater than 0.3 KPa is equal to or higher than 20% (by
weight).
3.11
True vapor pressure
From the date of implementation of this standard, the construction projects
of the newly-built, rebuilt and extended synthetic resin industry whose
environmental impact assessment is approved.
3.18
Enterprise boundary
The legal boundary of synthetic resin industrial enterprises. If the boundary
cannot be determined, it refers to the boundary of actual land occupation of
the enterprise or production facility.
4 Control requirements for water pollutant discharge

synthetic resin recycling and reprocessing enterprises or production facilities
shall, based on the corresponding types of synthetic resin, implement the
standard limits of Table 4, Table 5, respectively.
5.1.5 For the non-incineration-type organic waste-gas discharge port, it uses
the measured emission to determine whether the emission is up to standard.
The measured concentration of air pollutant emission of the incineration-type
organic waste-gas discharge port shall be converted into the benchmark
emission concentration of air pollutant which has a benchmark oxygen content
of 3%, compared with the emission limit to determine whether the emission is
up to standard. The benchmark emission concentration of air pollutant is
calculated according to formula (2).
ρ benchmark = [(21 - O benchmark)/(21 - O measured)] x ρ measured (2)
Where.
ρ benchmark - Benchmark emission concentration of air pollutants, mg/m3;
O benchmark - Benchmark oxygen content of dry flue gas, %;
O measured - Measured oxygen content of dry flue gas, %;
ρ measured - Measured emission concentration of air pollutant, mg/m3.
