NOTICE OF INTENT TO MODIFY RACT PLAN APPROVALS
FOR NINE (9) FACILITIES AND ISSUE RACT PLAN
APPROVALS FOR THREE (3) FACILITIES IN PHILADELPHIA
Air Management Services (AMS) proposed to modify the approved Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan approvals for the following facilities:
Honeywell, formerly Sunoco Chemicals (4700 Bermuda Street) to replace the requirement to operate Boiler #1 and Boiler #2 at a minimum 51% phenol waste based on annual BTU heat input to a minimum 51% phenol waste and natural gas combined based on annual BTU heat input. Change the conditions when they can burn fuel oil in Boilers #1 and #2 to allow it during testing programs and change the prohibition of fuel oil under regular operation from May 1 through September 30 to all year. Add a condition that Boiler #3 can only burn No.6 oil during natural gas emergencies and stack test program. These revisions will reduce the potential NOx emissions from the boilers;
Kinder Morgan, previously GATX (3300 North Delaware Ave.) to change the loading racks which may load VOC materials with a Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) of 4.0 or greater and require control by a vapor incinerator. Changing limits on the RVP of materials loaded (less than 4.0) and combined uncontrolled emissions (129 tons VOC/year) from specific uncontrolled loading racks to all uncontrolled loading positions. Changing a quarterly leak check requirement to only apply to valves, pumps, and flanges in VOC service. Adding a 70 tons per year VOC limit for uncontrolled loading at each loading position. These revisions will reduce the potential VOC emissions;
PaperWorks, formerly Jefferson Smurfit (5000 Flat Rock Road) to remove shut down Boiler #2. Remove coal burning from Boiler #1 and only allow #6 oil as back-up. These changes reduce potential NOx emissions from the boiler. Add Boilers #3 and #4, each 92.27 MMBTU/hr and burns natural gas. Boiler #3 and #4 each shall be equipped with low-NOx burners (LNB) and flue gas recirculation (FGR) and have NOx emission limits of 0.025 lbs/MMBTU. Each boiler has potential NOx emissions of 10.15 tons per year;
Temple Health Sciences (3401 N. Broad Street) to remove a shutdown medical waste incinerator. Remove a requirement to install FGR with low excess air on Boiler #2. Remove a requirement to install fuel governing devices on Boilers #1 and #3 to limit their capacities to 50 MMBTU/hr. Add the following requirements for each boiler: install CCA burner modifications; NOx emission limits of 0.067 when burning natural gas and 0.40 lbs/MMBTU when burning #6 oil; NOx emission limit of 56.3 lbs/hr for all three boilers combined; a heat input limit of 673,894 MMBTU per rolling 12-month period for all three boilers combined; and add a requirement that between May 1 and September 30 each boiler shall burn natural gas as primary fuel and shall only burn #6 oil during periods of gas curtailment or gas interruptions. These revisions will reduce the potential NOx emissions from the facility.;
PES Refinery, formerly Sunoco Refinery (3144 Passyunk Ave.) to remove shutdown boilers and heaters. Remove the ability to burn oil from all boilers and heaters. Add the 870 H01 and H02 Heaters and the 859 1H1 Heater, each with ULNBs and a 0.035 lbs/MMBTU NOx limit. Add a requirement for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a NOx limit of 40 ppmdv @ 0% O2 on a 7-day rolling average for the 1232 FCCU. Require good combustion practices on five diesel engines rated 214 bhp or less. Require ULNBs and a 0.060 lbs/MMBTU NOx limit on the 137 F-3 Heater. Require ULNBs and a 0.040 lbs/MMBTU NOx limit on the 1332 H-2 Heater. Require FGR in addition to ULNB and a 0.040 lbs/MMBTU NOx limit on each #3 Boiler House boiler. Require SCR and a 0.060 lbs/MMBTU NOx limit on 1332 Heaters H-400 and H-401. These revisions will reduce potential NOx emissions from the facility;
Philadelphia Gas Works Richmond (3100 East Venango Street) to remove the following shutdown units: four Clark engines, two Clark Stand-by engines, two Ingersoll-Rand stand-by boil-off compressors, two Kewanee boilers, two facility heaters, and two AO Smith Under-tank heating systems;
Cardone Industries (5660 Rising Sun Ave.) to remove the shutdown solvent recovery process and condenser;
Veolia Energy Philadelphia Edison Station, formerly Trigen - Edision (908 Sansom Street) to add emission limits of 185.93 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for the Boilers #1 and #2 and 220.1 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for Boilers #3 and #4;
Veolia Energy Schuylkill Station, formerly Trigen - Schuylkill (2600 Christian Street) to add an emission limit of 365.6 tons of NOx per rolling 12 month period for Boiler #23.
AMS proposes to issue RACT plan approvals for the following facilities:
Temple University Main Campus (Broad Street and Montgomery Ave) for three 91.3 MMBTU/hr boilers that burn natural gas and #2 oil and ten 2250 HP gas-fired standby electric generators. Each boiler has LNB and FGR and NOx emission Limits of 0.036 lbs/MMBTU while burning natural gas and 0.110 lbs/MMBTU while burning #2 oil. Each generator is limited to 500 operating hours per rolling 12-month period and has a NOx emission limit of 2.00 g/bhp-hr. The generators have a combined NOx limit of 99 lbs/hr.
Grays Ferry Cogeneration Partnership (2600 Christian Street) for a 1119 MMBTU/hr boiler and a 1515 MMBTU/hr combustion turbine (CT) that can operate with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The boiler and CT both burn natural gas and #2 oil. The boiler has LNB w/ FGR and NOx emission limits of 0.10 lbs/MMBTU while burning gas and 0.15 lbs/MMBTU while burning oil. The CT has SCR and NOx emission limits of 0.0344 lbs/MMBTU while burning gas and 0.168 lbs/MMBTU while burning oil. The CT/HRSG has emission limits of 0.09 lbs/MMBTU while burning gas and 0.168 while burning oil.
Veolia Energy Efficiency (2600 Christian Street) for two 297.91 MMBTU/hr boilers that burn natural gas and #2 oil. Each boiler has NOx emission limits of 0.01 lbs/MMBTU on a rolling 30-day average while burning gas and 0.08 lbs/MMBTU on a rolling 30-day average while burning oil. NOx emissions during start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions for each boiler are limited to 0.036 lbs/MMBTU while burning gas and 0.08 lbs/MMBTU while burning oil.
Each plan approval will contain monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements to ensure operation within all applicable requirements.
Anyone affected by the proposed modifications to RACT plan approvals may submit written comments or a request for a public hearing by mail to Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104, Attn: Karen Smith within thirty (30) days from today. If requested, AMS will hold a public hearing to accept public comments on October 22, 2014, at 6 PM at the Spellman Building, 321 University Avenue, 1st Floor Conference Room, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Persons with a disability who desire to attend the meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Alison Riley at (215) 685-9422 to discuss how AMS may accommodate their needs.
If no request for public hearing is received by 4 PM on October 20, 2014, the hearing will be cancelled and notice of the cancellation will be published on October 21, 2014, on AMS' website http://www.phila.gov/health/ AirManagement/PublicMeetings.html. Interested parties may also call (215) 685-7572 to find out if the hearing has been cancelled.
