Coil Coating Effluent Guidelines | US EPA

EPA promulgated the Coil Coating Effluent Guidelines and Standards (40 CFR Part 465) in and amended the regulation in . The regulation covers direct and indirect dischargers. The Effluent Guidelines and Standards are incorporated into NPDES permits for direct dischargersA point source that discharges pollutants to waters of the United States, such as streams, lakes, or oceans., and permits or other control mechanisms for indirect dischargersA facility that discharges pollutants to a publicly owned treatment works (municipal sewage treatment plant). (refer to Pretreatment Program).

What is the Coil Coating Industry?

Coil coating is a term generally used to describe the combination of processing steps involved in converting a coil--a long thin strip of metal rolled into a coil--into a coil of painted metal ready for further industrial use. Three basis materials are commonly used for coil coating: steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. Additionally, there is some minor coating of other materials such as brass, galvalum (a zinc-aluminum alloy) and coated steels. There are three major groups or standard process steps used in manufacturing coated coils:

  1. Cleaning to remove soil, oil, corrosion, and similar dirt
  2. Chemical conversion coating, in which a coating of chromate, phosphate or complex oxide materials is chemically formed in the surface of the metal
  3. Application and drying polymeric material, such as paint.

Water Use

Water is used throughout the coil coating processes. The cleaning processes for removing oil and dirt usually employ water-based alkaline cleaners, and acid pickling solutions are sometimes used to remove oxides and corrosion. Water is used to rinse the strip after it has been cleaned. Most of the chemical conversion coating processes are water based and water is used to rinse excess and spent solutions from the strip. After painting, the strip is baked in an oven to dry the paint and then chilled with water to prevent burning or charring of the organic coating. The characteristics of the wastewater generated by coil coating may vary depending on the basis material and the process options selected for cleaning and chemical conversion coating.

Significant Pollutants

  1. Toxic pollutants: chromium, zinc, nickel, lead, copper, cyanide
  2. Conventional pollutants: suspended solids, pH (abnormally high or low), and oil and grease
  3. Unconventional pollutants: iron, aluminum, phosphorous, and fluoride.

Because of the amount of toxic metals present, the sludges generated during wastewater treatment generally contain substantial amounts of toxic metals.

At the time of the rulemaking there were approximately 75 coil coating facilities in the United States, operating over 125 coil coating lines.

Canmaking

The Canmaking Subcategory was added to the regulation in a amendment. Canmaking covers all of the manufacturing processes and steps involved in the manufacturing of shaped metal containers which are subsequently used for storing foods, beverages and other products. Two major types of cans are manufactured: seamed cans and seamless cans. Seamed cans (primarily three-piece cans) are manufactured by forming a flat piece or sheet of metal into a container with a longitudinal or side seam which is clinched, welded, or soldered, and attaching formed ends to one or both ends of the container body. At the time of the rulemaking about 300 plants in the United States manufactured seamed cans.

Seamless cans consist of a can body formed from a single piece of metal and usually a top, or two ends, that are formed from sheet metal and attached to the can body. there are several forming methods which may be used to shape the can bodies including simple drawing, drawing and redrawing, drawing and ironing (D&I), extruding, spinning, and others. About 125 plants in the United States manufactured seamless cans in .

In the manufacture of seamless cans, oil is used frequently as a lubricant during the forming of the seamless body and must be removed before further processing can be performed. Typically, this is accomplished by washing the can body in a continuous can washer using water based alkaline cleaners. This step is followed by metal surfacing steps to prepare the can for painting.

Significant Pollutants

  1. Toxic metals: chromium and zinc
  2. Toxic organics; listed as total toxic organics (TTO)
  3. Nonconventional pollutants: aluminum, fluoride, and phosphorous
  4. Conventional pollutants: oil and grease, TSS, and pH (abnormally high or low).

Because of the toxic metals present, the sludges generated during wastewater treatment generally contain toxic metals.

At the time of the rulemaking, 88 of the approximately 425 can manufacturing plants in the United States discharged wastewater.

Excluded from the Canmaking Subcategory: Manufacture of seamed cans, can ends, can tops and seamless cans from coated (e.g., coil coated) stock. No oil is used in this process and the cans do not need to be washed after forming.

Classification

Coil coating and canmaking activities are included within the following NAICS groups:

  • : Metal Can Manufacturing

  • : Metal Coating, Engraving (except Jewelry and Silverware), and Allied Services to Manufacturers

Note: The NAICS listing is provided as a guide and does not define the coverage of the Coil Coating category. For precise definitions of coverage, refer to the Applicability sections in 40 CFR Part 465.

Facilities Covered

The regulation covers coil coating operations in three subcategories, by basis material:

  1. Steel

  2. Galvanized (zinc-coated steel, galvalum, brass and other copper-base strip)

  3. Aluminum (including aluminum alloys and aluminum-coated steel)

Subpart D covers canmaking operations.

Aluminium Coil Coating

Aluminium Coil Coating is an economic type of coating line apply to most ACP top/bottom coil coating. Product thickness 0.1mm~0.5mm is common used for ACP.

Product Description

Aluminium Coil Coating 

 

Aluminium Coil Coating makes use of a simple, but effective principle, to clean, pretreat and coat flat coils or sheets of steel or aluminium in a continuous operation, before other stages of industrial manufacture.

 

This is a high-quality type of coating line apply to most ACP (aluminium composite panel)top/bottom color coating. Products thickness 0.1mm~0.5mm is common used for ACP(aluminium composite panel). This aluminium coating line can also produce some gauges of roofing coils. With a rewinding line, this coating line meets basic requirements from raw material to finished products of coating factory. The line requires a high-quality minimum 70m×12m×7m workshop dimension, which suits most factories in limited dimension.

 

Aluminium line coated is a newly high-quality process for the coating of one or both sides of rolled coils of refined steel, metal,steel or aluminium with an organic color coating material. This aluminium line is for color coating on the surface of the coil. In contrast to other aluminium coating processes, the coils are first coated and then processe.Aluminium line-coated  is used in a wide range of markets and productions of application.

 

Aluminium coating ensures long-term, effective protection of color surfaces against corrosion and other influences. Litong serves a specialist  market with aluminium coating line products as well as supplying high-quality coating systems for special applications in the aluminium market. We  developed a precise three-roll converse coating machine in international advanced level to well control the thickness and appearance of productions. As a development partner, we offer individual solutions tailored optimally to the respective technical requirements.

Coil Coating Process

 

Coated aluminium can be used in food packaging to manufactures containers and cans. Coated aluminium makes trays more resistant to food with an aggressive pH or high salinity. More than this, it improves the aesthetic appeal of containers, adding personalisation capabilities and enhancing in the consumers the perception of the quality of the product.

Aluminum coil coating is a process of coating a layer of paint or other protective material onto an aluminum coil through a series of mechanical and chemical treatments. This process is typically performed by using specialized equipment and machinery known as aluminum coil coating lines. These lines are designed to handle the coil of aluminum and apply the coating material uniformly over its surface.

 

The color coated aluminum coil produced by the aluminum coil coating process has a wide range of applications, including building decoration, transportation, packaging, and electronics. The coating material can be customized to meet specific requirements such as weather resistance, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance.
