Document Description
The project applicant, Quemetco, Inc. is seeking modifications to existing South Coast AQMD permits for the Quemetco facility to increase the amount of lead product from approximately 460 tons per day (tpd) to 575 tpd and allow the facility to: 1) increase the throughput limit to the rotary/kiln feed dryer and reverberatory furnace from 600 tpd to 750 tpd; 2) increase the temperature of the exhaust from the rotary/kiln feed dryer from 330 degrees Fahrenheit (F) to 450 degrees F; 3) increase the amount of coke material (e.g., calcined coke, petroleum coke, or a combination thereof) processed in the rotary/kiln feed dryer and reverberatory furnace from 600,000 pounds per month (lbs/month) to 750,000 lbs/month; and 4) allow the use of petroleum coke, in lieu of or in addition to calcined coke, as a smelting reagent in the reverberatory furnace and electric arc furnace. Quemetco currently operates the facility and most equipment 24 hours per day except that the rotary/kiln feed dryer and reverberatory furnace operate between 18 and 23 hours per day. The proposed Project would allow the rotary/kiln feed dryer and reverberatory furnace to operate up to 24 hours per day. This facility is not identified on lists compiled by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control per Government Code Section 65962.5.
