Coatings & VOC Emission Introduction into Solvent Emission Legislation Possible Emission Savings 22 Kdwt Bulk Carrier
Coatings & VOC Emission Current and Future Legislation in Europe SED NEC Solvent Emission Directive - Directive 99/13/EC in force from 31-10-05 (sooner for new processes) - Emission controls tightened from 31-10-07 - Directive 2004/42/CE in force from 01-01-07 National Emission Ceilings - National Emission Ceilings fixed from 2010 - NECs tightened up to 2020 actual limits under review CAFÉ Clean Air For Europe - Clean Air For Europe Thematic Strategy due July 2005 - EC Data (IIASA Report) suggests large reductions beyond SED - Current 2020 Target for Industrial Paints is 279KT IIASA report suggests reducing this to 141KT (further 49% reduction)
Solvent Emission Directive Target Emission Values SOLVENT USAGE PER ANNUM <5 Tonnes Small installations 5 15 Tonnes Medium installations Target Emission Existing facilities from 31-10-07, and New/ Changed facilities from 31-10-04 None Total Mass of Solids x 0.6 i.e. <37.5gmVOC/100gm paint >15 Tonnes Large installations Total Mass of Solids x 0.37 i.e. <27gmVOC/100gm paint
Coatings & VOC Emission How to be compliant with it? Two ways to do: 1. Monitoring emissions and fugitive emissions 2. Reduction scheme
Coatings & VOC Emission How to be compliant with it? Two ways to do: 1. Monitoring emissions and fugitive emissions This would be rather elaborative, since a lot of measuring will be required 2. Reduction scheme
Coatings & VOC Emission How to be compliant with it? Two ways to do: 1. Monitoring emissions and fugitive emissions This would be rather elaborative, since a lot of measuring will be required 2. Reduction scheme a. Possibility is have specifications evaluated on presence of solvents (% and/or absolute amount) b. Also, companies could be requested/instructed to administer the amount of solvents (within products; thinners) used at the facility
Coatings & VOC Emission What is the general situation in the major Asian NB countries: There is not much legislation for the Marine (New Building) industry. If existing, the legislation tends to be focused like in Europe on the Deco industrial coatings Brief situation in the major New Building countries: CHINA no clear regulation, other than DECO

Consequences for NB shipyards Consequences for New Building Shipyards
Fouling Release Products CONSEQUENCES FOR NEW BUILDING YARDS More control of the application conditions required This may result in a need to have application done indoors 1. To reduce the fluctuations in application conditions 2. To optimise the coating application & curing 3. Special equipment may be required (extra investment required)
Coatings & VOC Emission CONCLUSIONS Introduction of some of the existing products discussed have been slowly accepted by the market. This due to reasons like: Cost (more expensive); Production (longer production time); more complicated application (e.g. fouling release; hottwinfeed for Solvent Free products) However, technology is available, but may have impact on the coating application and production
