The Carrier Corporation (Carrier) has applied to the Shelby County Health Department, Pollution Control Section, to modify their Title V major source operating permit (Permit No. 00083-01TV(R), Section IV, Emission Group 1. This is the only section of the permit open for comment. This facility is subject to the provisions of Town of Collierville Code Section 96.02 [Reference Rules and Regulations of Tennessee, Rule 1200-3-9-.02 (11)] (frequently referred to as the Title V regulations).  A Title V operating permit is required by the Federal Clean Air Act and the Town of Collierville Code.  

Operations at this facility consist of the manufacture of refrigeration and heating equipment.  The facility is located at located at 97 South Byhalia Road, Collierville, Tennessee,

Carrier has submitted a permit application to transition in from copper condenser coils to exclusively aluminum condenser coils in cooling units over the next two years.  Most processes at the facility will not be materially impacted by this change; except, the robotic paint booths in Emission Group 1. Currently the facility has six (6) robotic paint booths.  Booths 1 - 5 paint copper condenser coils and Booth 6 paints aluminum condenser coils. The facility owner or operator will be permitted to construct a total of  seven (7) new aluminum condenser coil robotic paint spray booths (Paint Booths 9 - 15). At the outset of this modification the facility will construct two (2) new aluminum condenser coil paint booths. After construction of the new paint booths, 2 existing copper condenser coil paint booths will be decommissioned and removed.  Aluminum coil paint booths 9 - 15 will be constructed in pairs and copper coil paint booths will be decommissioned subsequently until only eight (8) aluminum coil paint booths remain.  No more than a total of 8 paint booths will be allowed to be operational at any time during this project.  The increase from 6 to 8 booths overall will allow for additional operational flexibility and no increase in overall production is projected.
A copy of the application materials used by the Department and a copy of the draft permit are available for public inspection at the Pollution Control Section office during normal business hours (8:00 am – 4:30 pm).
