4 NATURE OF THE PROCESS

4.1 Process description

LASS produces solder, pewter for the jewellery industry, sash weights for windows, and

wheel balancing weights as well as lead shot and billets. Raw materials in the form of

lead, tin, antimony, and copper ingots, are delivered by truck. Ingots are moved from

trucks to the factory store by forklift. The lead, solder, pewter, sash weight, and wheel

balancing weight manufacturing processes, are described hereafter.

4.1.1 Lead billets for wire and shot

Lead wire and shot are produced through the melting of lead and antimony ingots in

two six (6) tonne capacity melting pots referred to as the 9% and 2% pots (Figure 2a

and Figure 2b). The 9% and 2% refers to the amount of antimony in the alloy. Antimony

increases the hardness of the lead wire and shot. The melting pots are heated with

paraffin burners located at the bottom of each pot. The molten alloy is manually cast

into moulds and cooled using a soluble oil and water mixture. Cooled bars from the

moulds are then sent to the extruder or tumbler for the manufacturing of lead wire

and shot. Final products from this process include spooled lead wire, lead shot packed

in boxes, and if requested by a client, sold as lead billets.

Each melting pot is covered by an extraction hood (Figure 2c) to evacuate fumes

generated by the melting process from the factory. Fumes are released to

atmosphere through vents on the factory roof.

4.1.2 Solder, sash weights, and pewter bars

To produce solder bars and sticks, lead, antimony and tin are melted in paraffin

heated pots (Figure 3b) referred to as melting pot 1, melting pot 2, and melting pot 3

(Figure 3a). Whereas melting pot 1 has a capacity of three (3) tonnes, melting pots 2

and 3 each have capacity of 600 kilograms. Molten alloy from these pots are

manually cast into trays and the solder bars cooled with a soluble oil and water

mixture. Solder bars are either sold as is, or extruded to form solder sticks and wire

(Figure 3).

To produce pewter, tin and copper is melted in pot 3 and similarly cast and cooled to

form pewter bars for the jewellery industry. Lead sash weights are manufactured from

lead melted in pot 2, which is cast into moulds and cooled using the soluble oil and

water mixture.

Each pot is covered by an extraction hood through which melting fumes are

extracted into a common duct. Fumes are leased to atmosphere through a vent in

the factory roof.

4.1.3 Wheel balancing weights

Lead billets are melted in seven (7) electric melting pots and automated casting

machines (Figure 4a). Several different sizes wheel balancing weights are

manufactured. A fume extraction hood is positioned above each machine (Figure

4b). Fumes from machine numbers 1 to 4 are extracted to a common duct and

vented through the wall of the factory near roof level. Machines 5, 6, and 7 each have

a dedicated duct and vent (Figure 4c).

4.1.4 Metal recovery

LASS also operates a scrap metal separation and reclamation process on their

premises. Wastes such as old municipal street lamps are disassembled to extract

copper and other metals that are bagged and sent to a factory in Gauteng for

recycling. Only mechanical separation methods are used. Emissions from this process

are limited to dust and exhaust emissions from the three forklifts used to move

materials. These emissions are considered negligible.

Volumetric

flow rates

(S01 to S07)

Calculation of point source volumetric flow rate:

Information on the volumetric flow rate of the fume extraction systems at LASS is not currently available. Theoretical estimates of volumetric

flow rates were made based on (a) available lead emission factors for solder manufacturing and (b) the MES of 2 mg/Nm3 lead for the lead

smelting process. The methodology is explained stepwise:

1. The scrubber controlled emission factor for melting pots used in solder manufacturing facilities is 0.023 kg Pb/tonne material processed.

2. A theoretical uncontrolled emission factor of 0.46 kg Pb/tonne material processed was calculated by conservatively assuming a

theoretical scrubber control efficiency of 95%.

3. LASS processes a total 2 030 kg of material per month. It was assumed that all material first passes through the 2% and 9% melting pots

before entering the rest of the process. Per melting pot, the following material processing rates were assumed based on pot capacity:

a. 2% melting pot, 850 kg/month

b. 9% melting pot, 850 kg/month

c. Melting pot 1, 203 kg/month

d. Melting pot 2, 508 kg/month

of 24

ID Basis for Emission Rates

e. Melting pot 3, 305 kg/month

f. WBW machines 1 to 7, 145 kg/month-pot, 1 015 kg/month-total

4. Total Pb emissions per pot were calculated using the emission factor from step (2) and the pot throughputs from step (3) using the

following equation:

𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑚𝑔

𝑠⁄ ) = 𝐸𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 (𝑘𝑔

𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒⁄ ) ∙ 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑝𝑢𝑡(𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ⁄ ) ∙

𝑘𝑔⁄ )

166 (𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠

𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ⁄ ) ∙ 3 600 (𝑠

ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟⁄ )

5. The total emission rate (in mg/s) calculated per point source since some emission sources share a common stack.

6. The normalised volumetric flow rate requirement for each point source (in Nm3/s) was calculated by assuming the minimum emission

standard of 2 mg/Nm3 will be met:

𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑁𝑚3

𝑠) =

𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑚𝑔

𝑠)

𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 (𝑚𝑔

𝑁𝑚3)

7. Actual volumetric flow rates (in Am3/s) were calculated at 100 kPa and ambient air temperature (293 K).

8. Stack gas exit velocities were calculated as follows:

𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑚

𝑠) =

emissions

(S01 to S04)

Greenhouse gas emissions calculations are based on the carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission factors for

distillate fuel oil of 2.7, 0.11 and 0.021 kg/L respectively. 4.2 L of paraffin is used per hour to heat the melting pots. The global warming potential

of CO2, CH4, and N2O is 1, 25 and 298 respectively. Emissions are reported as the total CO2eq.
