VOC Manager Installed at NASSCO

General Dynamic's National Steel and

Shipbuilding Co. (NASSCO) installed

Safinah's VOC Manager software pro- gram to handle its emissions reporting.

The VOC Manager software was installed in the Paint Blast Shop and is initially being used to monitor the paint consumption and VOC emissions from the two treatment lines installed at the yard. VOC Manager was developed in conjunction with the EU funded ECO-

PAINT project. ECOPAINT highlighted a shipbuilding need for the accurate recording of paint consumption to ensure that VOC emissions declared did not either penalize the yard for overes- timating emissions or run the risk of non-compliance with the regulations by underestimating the emissions.
