1 Introduction Boylan Print Ltd. was issued with an Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control
Licence (IPC Licence Reg. No. P0784-01) in April 2007.
Boylan Print Ltd. fall under the scope of the Solvents Directive (1999/13/EC), which
was implemented, into Irish Law via the Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds
from Organic Solvent Regulations 2002 (S.I 543 of 2002). The company is classified
under Activity 1 of the 2002 Regulations (Schedule 2 of 2002 regulations) i.e. Heatset
web offset printing (and which has a solvent consumption > 25 tonne per year). The
obligations that the solvents regulations have imposed on the company have been
incorporated into the conditions of the company’s IPPC licence i.e. Condition 5.6 of
the IPC licence states that:
“Fugitive emissions to air of volatile organic compounds shall be reduced to less
than or equal to 30% of total solvent input no later than 31st October 2007.”

Document No.: 919-30 v2.00
2 Methodological Assessment of the Fugitive Emissions
It is proposed to assess the fugitive emissions from the site according to Schedule 6 of
the Solvent Regulations of 2002. The calculation of the fugitive emissions can be
done by mass balances, using one of the two following equations:
• F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8
• F = O2 + O3 + O4 + O9
The definitions for the terms used in these equations are as follows:
Inputs of organic solvents (I)
• I1: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparation purchased
which are used as inputs into the process in the time frame over which the
mass balance is being calculated
• I2: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations recovered
and reused as solvent input into the processes
Outputs of organic solvents (O)
• Emissions in waste gases (O1)
• Organic solvents lost in water (O2)
• The quantity of organic solvent which remains as contamination or residue in
produces output from the process (O3)
• Uncaptured emissions to organics solvents to air (O4)
• Organic solvents lost due to chemical or physical reactions (O5)
• Organic solvents contained in collected waste (O6)
• Organic solvents or organic solvents contained in preparations which are sold
or are intended to be sold as a commercially valuable product (O7)
• Organic solvents contained in preparations recovered for reuse but not as input
into the process, as long as not counted under (O8)
• Organic released in other ways (O9)
These inputs and outputs can be seen in Figure 3.

2.1 Determination of the different Inputs and Outputs:
The information that is available at the site and from the limited monitoring carried
out suggests that the following equation is the most suitable to determine the fugitive
emission value for the site:
F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8
It is therefore proposed that this equation be used for the assessment.
The different parameters of this equation will be calculated as TOC as C and for the
same period to be comparable.
I1: The quantity of solvent purchased during the given period:
I1 = Opening Stock + Purchases during the period – Closing Stock The TOC as C contribution of the solvent-based products will be calculated with
reference to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) sheets for each of the
individual substances and the molecular formula of the constituents.
O1: Emissions in waste gases:
The emissions in wastes gases will be calculated using the results of air monitoring.
The concentration of TOC as C obtained from this monitoring will be multiplied by
the working hours of the printers for the studied period.
O5: Organic solvents lost due to chemical or physical reactions:
Boylan Print Ltd. Annual Environmental Report 2009
Environmental Efficiency Consultants Page 46 of 67
Document No.: 919-30 v2.00
In this specific process, the O5 quantity represents the amount of solvent which is
destroyed in the thermal oxidiser (A2-3) and in the M600 afterburner (A2-4). For each
point, the O5 value can be calculated as follows:
1

5..1
OndestructioofEfficiency
OO −
−
=
The O1 figure is not available for the thermal oxidiser A2-3 and thus the
corresponding O5 value cannot be calculated.
This calculation was done for the M600 printer (A2-4). A conservative figure of 90%
is assumed for the efficiency of the afterburner in the M600 printer as this was
unavailable from the technical specification. Most regenerative thermal
oxidisers/afterburners have a destruction efficiency of 95% and thus the 90% figure
can be considered conservative. The actual efficiency of the afterburner will be
available once the test programme is carried out.
O6: Organic solvents contained in collected waste:
• Waste solvent: From the information available from the company, there is no
waste solvent generated at the site.
• Solvent residues on empty containers: From the information available from the
company, the empty containers are sent back to the supplier for refill.
According to 40 CFR 261.7, a container holding non-acute hazardous waste
can be considered as empty if:
o all wastes have been removed using practices commonly employed
industry-wide to remove wastes from containers or liners, such as
pouring, pumping, aspirating, and draining (§261.7(b)(1)(i)), and
o no more than 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of material remains in the
container or liner (§261.7(b)(1)(ii)), or
o no more than 3 percent by weight of the container remains for
containers with a capacity of 110 gallons or less, and no more than 0.3
percent by weight remains for containers with a capacity greater than
110 gallons (§261.7(b)(1)(iii)).
• Solvent residues on cleaning rags: No information was available on the
quantities of cleaning rags that were disposed.
O7: Organic solvents or organic solvents contained in preparations which are sold or
are intended to be sold as a commercially valuable product: Some part of the oils (5 -
15% estimated) is absorbed by the paper and/or remains in the dried up ink film.
(Source: Boylan Print Ltd suppliers)
O8: Organic solvents contained in preparations recovered for reuse but not as input
into the process, as long as not counted under O7: The company does not recover
solvent on-site.

2.2 Determination of the environmental significance of the fugitive emissions
As suggested in Schedule 6 of the Regulations, the fugitive emission value obtained
following the methodology outlined in Section 2 is expressed as a proportion of the
input, which can be calculated according to the following equation:
I = I1 + I2
With
• I1: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparation purchased
which are used as inputs into the process in the time frame over which the
mass balance is being calculated
• I2: The quantity of organic solvents or their quantity in preparations recovered
and reused as solvent input into the processes.
Determination of the environmental significance of the fugitive emissions at the site:
The obtained figure will then be compared to the fugitive emission value threshold set
out in Schedule 2 of the same Regulations. For the activity carried out at Boylan Print
Ltd, the maximum value for the fugitive emissions is 30%.
3 Calculations
3.1 Determination of I1
The quantities of solvent-based products purchased in 2009 were reviewed in order to
calculate the solvent input to the process. All the available MSDSs for the organic
solvent were also reviewed so that the quantities could be expressed in TOC as C. The
TOC as C is expressed based on the information supplied by Boylan Print Ltd. for
2009. The exact quantities for each ink colour were not provided. Instead the total
amount of ink utilised was provided by Boylan Print Ltd. and from this the average
solvent figure was taken for each of the ingredients used to produce the inks. The
summary figures for the calculation of I1 are presented in the following table and the
details of the calculation are provided in Appendix 7.

3.4.2 Solvent contaminated rags As mentioned in Section 2.1, no information was provided by Boylan Print Ltd. with
regard to the quantity of solvent residues on cleaning rags for 2009. However, this
quantity would be minimal (typically less than 5kg).
3.4.3 Calculation of O6

Solvent residues on empty containers 272
Solvent residues on cleaning rags (kg) Unknown
O6 - TOC as C (kg/yr) 272
3.5 Determination of O7
As mentioned in Section 2.1, the supplier of the inks has stated that some part of the
oils (5 - 15% estimated) is absorbed by the paper and/or remains in the dried up ink
film. For the purpose of the calculation, the average value of 10% was taken.
Total Ink input into the process (TOC as C
kg) = I1
83,230
O7 - TOC as C (kg/yr) 8,323
3.6 Determination of F
As previously mentioned, the formula used to calculate the fugitive emissions is:
F = I1 – O1 – O5 – O6 – O7 – O8 = I1 – O1 – O6 – O7
F = 83,230 – 57.5 – 517 - 272 -8,323 = 74,060 kg
Fugitive emission value=230,83
060,74
21
=
+ II
F= 88.9% of solvent input
One of the main reasons for this high percentage of fugitive emissions is the air
emissions results, i.e. only three of the four quarters could be monitored during the
calendar year 2009 and flow measurements could not be established at emission point
A2-3 in order to calculate quarterly TOC as C. Further monitoring of the atmospheric
emissions in the future will provide a better insight into the day-to-day atmospheric
emissions from the site once the issue of establishing flow measurements at emission
point A2-3 has been resolved by the licensee.

4 Conclusion
The annual solvent input for the year 2009 was calculated at 73,967kg. The fugitive
emissions represent 88.9% of the solvent input and thus exceed the fugitive emissions
limit value.

Appendix 7 Details of calculation of the quantities of solvent based products put into the process
The quantities of solvent based products were obtained and the MSDSs were then
consulted and the composition of each product was thus available. From the MSDSs,
the proportions of the known volatile organic compounds were taken into account and
their contribution to the total weight of solvent-based products was calculated.

1 Introduction Environmental Efficiency Consultants Limited (EEC) were commissioned by Boylan
Print Ltd. to carry out an environmental noise monitoring survey of their site as
required under condition 6.12.2 and in Schedule B.4 of their licence to assess sound
pressure levels directly related to the sites activities. Noise monitoring locations were
at those locations laid out in the licence.
This environmental noise survey for day time and night time noise was carried out on
the 02nd
June 2009 in accordance with the EPA Environmental Noise Survey
Guidance Document1.

2 Summary • The LAeqt recorded at the four points varied from 54.1dB(A) to 66.1dB(A) for
daytime and from 59.8 to 63.0 for night-time.
• The limits stated in the Licence are as follows:
• For the daytime measurements, the recorded noise levels for NSL1 and NSL2
were compliant with respective values of 54.1 and 54.2 dB(A). N3 and N4 were
found to be above the noise emissions limits with respective values of 64.2 and
66.1 dB(A).
• For the night-time measurements, all the recorded values were above of the noise
emissions limits.
• However, it is important to highlight that sound pressure level readings for each of
the noise monitoring locations, in particular for NSL2 and N3, are partly
attributable to the activities and processes carried on at Hilton Foods.
• Further noise mitigation measures like the removal of the alarm sound from the
gate be considered and the erection of sound proof panelling along the western
boundary of the site.

3 Sampling Methodology and Analytical Techniques
3.1 Instrumentation Used
The following equipment was used during the noise assessment:
Table 3-1: Equipment Used
Equipment Model (Cirrus) Serial No.
Sound Level Meter (SLM) (Type 1),
(with windshield attached)
CR:811B C16569FD
Microphone MK:224 20020028
Calibrator CR:511E 035066
Tripod N/A N/A
The sound level meter was calibrated to 93.7 dB(A) on-site immediately before
measurement and checked on completion of the study. No drift in calibration level
was noted.
The Certificates of Calibration for the SLM and calibrator are provided in Appendix
A.
3.2 Report Terminology
The parameters used to assess the noise are as follows:
Leq (t): is the continuous equivalent sound level over a specified time (t),
where t represented a 15-minute period during this survey. This
measure is used to give an indication of the average noise level over
the specified time period.
L10 and L90: are both statistical noise levels. L10 indicates that for 10% of the
monitoring period, the sound levels were greater than the quoted value.
L90 indicates that for 90% of the monitoring period, the sound levels
were greater than the quoted value. L10 is used to express event noise.
L90 is used to express background noise, usually filtering out loud,
intermittent interferences such as traffic noise.
The following terms may be used to describe the characteristics of the noise:
Continuous: noise produced without interruption.
Boylan Print Limited Annual Environmental Report 2009
Environmental Efficiency Page 60 of 67
Document 919-30 v2.00
Intermittent: noise that is punctuated with interruptions e.g. equipment operating in
cycles or events such as single passing vehicle
Impulsive: a noise of short duration (typically less than one second), the sound
pressure of which is significantly higher than the background; brief and
abrupt.
Tonal: noise that contains a clearly audible tone i.e. a distinguishable, discrete
or continuous note (whine, hiss, hum or screech, etc.).
The noise measurements were ‘A’ weighted and the time-weighting ‘Fast’ was
applied (to equate to human ear hearing).
3.3 Meteorological Conditions
Weather conditions during the survey did not affect the readings i.e. conditions were
dry and wind speed was less than 5 m/s (the normal upper limit for taking
measurements). The Sound Level Meter was also fitted with a windshield to minimise
interference from meteorological conditions.
3.4 Measurement Positions
All measurements were taken at:
• 1.2 – 1.5 m height above local ground level
3.5 Measurement Locations
The locations of noise monitoring points are described in the following table and
shown in Figure 3-1. All readings were taken during operating hours when nearby
equipment was being used.

5 Discussion and Recommendations
• The LAeqt recorded at the four points for both day and night time varied from
54.1dB (A) to 66.1dB (A).
• The licence states that the noise recorded at boundary locations should not be
higher than 55dB(A) for day time and 45dB(A) for night time.
5.1 Day time
• At points NSL1 and NSL2 the predominant noise sources were attributable to
Hilton Foods. Indeed at NSL1, with the exception of the gate alarm, there was no
audible noise from the Boylan Print site. It should also be noted that the L90
recorded at NSL1 was 47.8 for day time. This is below the limit.
• The major noise sources at N3 were the paper extractor from the Boylan Print site
and the continuous noise (fans and coolers) coming from Hilton Foods.
• The noise from N4 was dominated by the cooling system in place at Boylan Print.
• Table 4-1 predominantly highlights there to be mixed noise sources at each
receptor point.
5.2 Night time
• The results for the noise sensitive locations (NSL1 and NSL2) are above the night
time limit of 45dB(A).
• The sound pressure levels for N3 and N4 are also above the night time limit of
45dB(A).
It should be noted for the purposes of this report that sound pressure level results in
this report are partly attributable to the activities and processes carried on at Hilton
Foods. Further noise mitigation measures like the removal of the alarm from the gate
along with sound proof panelling along the western boundary of the site should be
considered.
