Proposals are due December 18, 2024

The Air & Waste Management Association HON Compliance Workshop will address, in detail, the recently revised Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) provisions as well as other recently issued and/or revised chemical industry standards including the NESHAP for Group I Polymers and Resins, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) [40 CFR 60] subparts VVb for equipment leaks, IIIa for air oxidation, NNNa for distillation, RRRa for reactors, and Kc for storage tanks.

The technical program will include keynote and panel discussions, plus individual sessions on all parts of the rules involving rule writers, trade association representatives, technical and regulatory experts, and monitoring/instrument specialists.

If you are a HON expert or have experience implementing revised standards associated with the recent refinery and chemical industry NESHAP risk and technology reviews (refinery sector rule, ethylene MACT, miscellaneous organic NESHAP, organic liquids distribution MACT) that came before this rulemaking, please share your knowledge and become a presenter!

Each session will dissect individual requirements in the rules and explain them in an easily digestible format with the goal that attendees leave the workshop equipped with the right knowledge to develop and execute their compliance plans. We also envision having case studies presented for sharing real-world experiences, challenges, and solutions. Each presenter will be expected to speak for 30 to 45 minutes to allow a deep dive into each section of the regulations. Proposals are due December 18, 2024.
