The purpose of the IOMC is to promote co- ordination of the policies and activities pursued by the Participating Organisations, jointly or separately, to achieve the sound management of chemicals in relation to human health and the environment. [...] The process continues until the substrate temperature reaches that of the vapour, at which point the vapour stops condensing (determined by visual inspection to verify the substrate is dry) and the cleaned and dried substrate is lifted out of the vapour zone. [...] Number of Sites (Nsites) The number of facilities using the chemical of interest (Nsites) depends on the total annual production of the chemical of interest (Qchem_yr), the daily use rate of the chemical of interest (Qchem_site_day), and the annual operating days (TIMEoperating_days). [...] Release to Air during Vapour Degreasing Operation (Release 3) Evaporative emissions are expected to be the major source of release from vapour degreasing due to the high volatility of the solvents used and the design of the operation. [...] The operation of the water separator is such that the concentration of vapour degreasing chemicals in the wastewater leaving the separator is equal to the solubility of the vapour degreasing chemical in the water (Durkee, 2014[10]).
