Air General Permits - Halogenated Solvent Degreasers
Solvent degreasing (or solvent cleaning) is the physical process of using organic solvents to remove grease, fats, oils, wax, or soil from various metal, glass or plastic items. The three basic types of solvent cleaning equipment used in degreasing operations are categorized as batch vapor cleaners, in-line cleaners and batch cold cleaners.
Halogenated solvent degreasing facilities utilizing perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, or chloroform, which are hazardous air pollutants, are eligible to operate as a business in Florida under an Air General Permit pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 62-210.310(5)(h), F.A.C.
