2. Methods of Calculating PRTR Releases and Transfers

The chemical substances of which PRTR releases and transfers should be
calculated are Class I Designated Chemical Substances contained 1 percent or more
in raw materials (in case of specific Class I Designated Chemical Substances 0.1
percent or more).
For some facilities where emission factors shown in this manual are not suitable,
calculation should be done by their own data, for example, by actual measurement,
etc.
The amounts released, transferred, and shipped as products in each
manufacturing process are calculated according to the following methods:
[1]Estimation of the releases to air:
(annual quantity of Class I Substances handled) (emission factor to air)
[2]Estimation of the releases to water bodies:
(annual quantity of Class I Substances handled) (emission factor to water bodies)
Note: Releases to water bodies are calculated as the amount released, and releases to
sewerage are calculated as the amount transferred.
[3]Releases to soils: 0
Note: As no release to soils occurs in the valve manufacturing process, the amount
released to soils is calculated as 0.
[4]Estimation of the transfers as waste:
(annual amount of waste containing the Class I Substances entrusted to waste
disposal dealer) (content of Class I Substances in waste)
[5]Estimation of the Amount recycled:
(annual amount of waste containing the Class I Substances handed over to recycle
dealers) (content of the Class I Substances)
[6]Estimation of the amount shipped as products
(annual quantity of materials handled containing the Class I Substances) (content
of Class I Substances) (amount released to air) (amount released/transferred to
water bodies) (the amount released to soils (0)) (amount transferred as waste)
(amount recycled)
The annual quantity of Class I Substances handled is calculated using the

following methods:
[1](annual quantity of materials handled)
= (stock at beginning of term) + (annual quantity purchased) (stock at end of term)
[2]Content:
The average content based on the content of the Class I Designated Chemical
Substances for each purchased lot of material should be used. However, when the
maximum content is known and there is not a significant difference from the
average content, the maximum content may be used for the average content. (Under
the PRTR system, the maximum value is used instead of the intermediate value,
based on the principle that risks should not be estimated at the lower side.)
Concerning the alloy in the melting process, the contents of the Class I
Substances in the alloy are used.
[3](Annual quantity of Class I Substances handled)
= (annual handled quantity of materials containing Class I Substances) (content of
Class I Substances)

4. Methods and Examples of Calculating the Releases and Transfers in the

Manufacturing Processes
Calculation examples of releases and transfers in valve manufacturing
processes are those that follow.
In other processes not mentioned here, raw materials or materials containing
Class I Substances are not used usually, or if used, the amount used is very small, so
their examples are omitted.
4.1. Melting process
In the melting process, release to air, transfer as waste, the amount recycled and
the amount shipped as product of Class I Substances are objectives of calculation.
Main materials used in the melting process containing 1 percent or more of
Class I Designated Chemical Substances are shown in Table 4.1.1.
In the melting process, content of Class I Designated Chemical Substance is
content of Class I Substance contained in the molten alloy.
However, there are some cases where other Class I Substances are contained in
the raw materials purchased by the manufacturers. Thus it should be confirmed
whether or not any other designated substances are contained in the purchased raw
materials, along with their content.
Emission factors for the main Class I Substances are shown in Table 4.1.2.

amount released to water bodies/land is calculated as zero.

[1] Estimation of the releases to air:
Annual handled quantity of the material containing lead: 3,500t
Content of lead: 5%
Emission factor of lead released to air: 0.0001
[Releases to air (A)]

4.2. Casting process

In the casting process (mold-making, core molding, core insertion, mold
assembly, pouring and mold release), releases to air and transfers as waste are the
subject to be calculated.
It is noted, however, although a large amount of waste mold sand is generated in
this casting process, waste mold sand is returned to the process for reuse. Also, the
waste mold sand that cannot be recycled are disposed as waste, and because the
content of Class I Designated Chemical Substances in waste mold sand is less than
1 percent (less than 0.1 percent for specific Class I Designated Chemical
Substances), they are omitted from the calculation.
Main materials used in the casting process containing 1 percent or more of Class
I Designated Chemical Substances are shown in Table 4.2.1.

Since formaldehyde in the casting process is not released to water bodies/soils,
or recycled and shipped as products, the amount released to water bodies/land,
recycled and shipped as products is calculated as zero.
[1] Estimation of the releases to air:

[4] Estimation of transfers as waste:
Annual handled quantity of the material containing formaldehyde: 10t
Content of formaldehyde: 20%
[Transfers as waste (D)]
Formaldehyde in this process is either released to air or transferred into
waste, the amount transferred as waste is calculated by subtracting the
annual amount released to air from annual quantity handled, that is:
= [annual handled amount of material containing formaldehyde]
[content of formaldehyde] A
= 10t 20% (0.20) 0.01t
= 1.99t

4.3. Machining process

Class I Designated Chemical Substances in the machining process are mostly
those contained in the metallic raw materials. Class I Substances are not contained
in lubrication oil or in cutting oil used in this process, or, if contained, they are
contained at very low level, so they are omitted from the calculation example.
Further, the recycle of the designated substances and the product shipment are
the subject of calculation in this machining process.
In addition, cutting waste or grinding waste generated in this process is returned
to the process and reused.
Main materials used in the machining process containing 1 percent or more of
Class I Designated Chemical Substances are shown in Table 4.3.1.

4.4. Process of removing burr

Class I Designated Chemical Substances in the process of removing burr are
mostly those contained in the metallic raw materials. Class I Substances are not
contained in lubrication oil or in cutting oil used in this process, or, if contained,
they are contained at very low level, so they are omitted from the calculation
example.
Further, the recycle of the designated substances and the product shipment are
the subject of calculation in this process.

Since dichloromethane in the degreasing and cleaning process is not released to
water bodies nor soils, and not recycled nor shipped as products. So the amount
released water bodies and land, and the amount recycled and shipped as products
are calculated as zero.
[1] Estimation of the release to air:
Annual handled quantity of the material containing dichloromethane: 3t

As dichloromethane is either released to air or transferred into waste, the
amount transferred as waste is calculated by subtracting the annual amount
released to air from the annual quantity handled, that is:
= [annual handled quantity of the material containing dichloromethane]
[content of dichloromethane] A

4.6. Plating process

In the plating process, the Class I Designated Chemical Substances which are
released to water bodies, transferred into waste, recycled, and shipped as products
are the subject of calculation.
Main materials used in the plating process containing 1 percent or more of Class
I Designated Chemical Substances are shown in Table 4.6.1.
As chromium(VI) compounds and nickel compounds are designated as the
Specific Class I Designated Chemical Substances, materials containing 0.1% or
more of them should be notified.

Note: 1. Emission factors mentioned above are the result obtained by a survey
2. As plating liquid is not released to air, emission factor to air of Class I
Substances in this table is supposed to be zero.
3. For the case where the waste liquids containing chromium(VI)
compounds are treated by reduction-coagulating precipitation process,
chromium compounds other than the hexavalent are generated as sludge
and therefore their amount must be calculated separately from the
chromium(VI) compounds.
24
[Calculation example of the amount of chromium(III) compounds (dichromium

trioxide) released/transferred in the plating process]
Since chromium(III) compounds in the plating process is not released to air or
soils, the releases to air and the releases to soils are calculated as zero.
In this plating process, as waste liquids containing chromium(VI) compounds
(chromium trioxide) is subjected to reduction-coagulating precipitation treatment, a
chromium(III) compound (dichromium trioxide) is generated.
[2] Estimation of releases to water bodies:
Annual handled quantity of the material containing chromium(VI)
compounds: 5t
Content of chromium(VI) compounds: 99% or more
Emission factor for chromium(III) compound released to water bodies:
0.001
[Releases to water bodies (B)]
= [annual handled quantity of the material containing chromium(VI)
compounds]
[content of chromium(VI) compounds]
[emission factor for chromium(III) compound released to water bodies]
= 5t 99% (0.99) 0.001
= 0.0050t
Note: Since this is released to sewerage, this should be a transfer to
sewerage and not a release to water bodies.
[3] [Releases to soils: (C)]: 0
[4] [Transfers as waste (D)]: 0
Since waste liquid from the plating process is not disposed of as waste, but
entirely recycled, the transfer as waste is zero.
[5] Estimation of the amount sent as recycle:
Annual amount of the waste containing chromium(III) compounds, which is
handed over to recycle dealers: 5t
Content of chromium(III) compounds: 10%
[Amount sent as recycle (E)]
= [annual amount of waste containing chromium(III) compounds handed
over to recycle dealers]
[content of chromium(III) compounds]
= 5t 10% (0.1) = 0.5t
Annual handled quantity of the material containing chromium(VI)
compounds: 5t
Content of chromium(VI) compounds: 100%
25

= [(annual handled quantity of the material containing chromium(VI)
compounds)
(content of chromium(VI) compounds] B E
= [5t 100% (1)] 0.005t 0.5t = 4.495t

4.7. Assembly process

In assembly process, only the release to air is the subject of calculation.
Main materials used in assembly process containing 1 percent or more of Class I
Designated Chemical Substances are shown in Table 4.7.1.

Note: 1. Emission factor mentioned above are the result obtained from a survey

2. As very little amount is released to water bodies or transferred into waste
for toluene used in this process, emission factor of release to water
bodies and transfer into waste is supposed to be zero for toluene.
[Calculation example of amount released/transferred of toluene in the assembly
process]
Since toluene in the assembly process is not released to water bodies nor soils,
and not recycled nor shipped as products, the amount released to water bodies and
soils, the amount transferred into waste and recycle, and the amount shipped as
products are calculated as zero.
Annual handled quantity of toluene contained in the material: 1t
Emission factor of toluene released to air: 1
= [annual handled quantity of the material containing toluene]
[content of toluene] [emission factor to air]
= 1t 100% (1) 1 = 1t

4.8. Painting process

In painting process, release to air, transfer as waste and amount shipped as
products are the subjects of calculation.

2. As very little amount is released to water bodies for toluene and xylene
from this process, emission factor of release to water bodies is supposed to
be zero.
[Calculation example of amount of xylene released and transferred in the painting
process]
Since in this process xylene is not released to water bodies nor soils, and not
recycled, the amount released to water bodies and soils, and the amount recycled are
calculated as zero.
Annual handled quantity of the material containing xylene: 30t
Content of xylene: 20%
Emission factor of xylene released to air: 0.7
= [annual handled quantity of the material containing xylene]
[content of xylene] [air emission factor for xylene]
= 30t 20% (0.2) 0.7 = 4.2t
[4] Calculation of Annual amount transferred as waste (D)
Annual handled quantity of the material containing xylene: 30t
Content of xylene: 20%
[Annual amount transferred as waste (D)]:
As xylene is either released to air or transferred into waste, the amount
30
transferred as waste is calculated by subtracting the annual amount released

to air from the annual quantity handled, that is:
= [annual handled quantity of the material containing xylene]
[content of xylene] A
= 30t 20 % (0.2) 4.2t
= 1.8t

processes
Emission factor for the main Class I Substances used in valve manufacturing
processes, containing thereof by 1 mass percent or more( 0.1 mass percent or more
for Specific Class I Substances) are shown below.
Usually there is no release to soils in valve manufacturing processes, so,
emission factor for release to soils is assumed to be zero.
