2 The method to calculate the maximum daily loading factor of a facility is as follows: (a) determine the highest vapour pressure and the highest benzene concentration of each volatile petroleum liquid loaded at the facility; (b) for each day in the previous calendar year, calculate the daily loading factor for each volatile petroleum liquid and each loading recipient referred to in column 1 of the table to this section in accordance with the formula V D ÷ F D where V D is the daily volume of the volatile petroleum liquid, in standard m 3 , loaded to the loading recipient with a loading rack not equipped with a vapour control system in accordance with section 42 , and F D is the value set out in column 3 of the table to this section for the loading recipient set out in column 1 and the benzene concentration referred to in column 2; (c) for each day in the previous calendar year, calculate the sum of the daily loading factors calculated under paragraph (b); and (d) determine the highest value calculated under paragraph (c) for any day in the previous calendar year, which is the facility’s maximum daily loading factor.

1 The control conditions to be used when measuring the seal gaps of a floating roof tank are as follows: (a) a set of uniform cylindrical probes of varying diameters that meet the following criteria must be used: (i) the smallest probe must have a diameter of 0.3 cm, (ii) one of the probes must have a diameter of 4 cm if a primary seal gap is being measured or a diameter of 1.3 cm if a secondary seal gap is being measured, and (iii) each probe must have a diameter that is less than double the diameter of the next smallest probe; (b) the liquid level in the tank must not change; (c) if the tank is an external floating roof tank, all seal gap measurements must be taken while the floating roof is freely floating on the surface of the liquid and not when it is resting on a support structure or suspension system; and (d) if a primary seal gap is being measured, any secondary seal or cover that restricts access to the primary seal must be pulled away from the tank wall, removed or otherwise positioned such that it will not interfere with the measurement.
Reduction in the Release of Volatile Organic Compounds (Storage and Loading of Volatile Petroleum Liquids) Regulations — 2
2 The procedure to be followed to measure the seal gaps of a floating roof tank consists of the following steps taken in the following order: (a) identify all seal gaps on the circumference of the tank by passing a probe that has a diameter of 0.3 cm between the seal and the wall of the tank without forcing or binding the probe against the seal; (b) determine the length of each seal gap by measuring, in centimetres, the circumferential distance along the tank wall between the two extreme opposite ends of the seal gap; (c) determine the surface area of each seal gap by using successively larger probes to measure, in centimetres, the width of the gap between the seal and the wall of the tank and then multiplying each width by its respective length determined under paragraph (b) (if the width of the seal gap at any point is larger than the diameter of one probe but smaller than the diameter of the next probe, then the width must be linearly interpolated using the measurements of those two probes); (d) determine and record the width of the widest seal gap; (e) calculate the sum of the individual surface areas determined under paragraph (c) for all seal gaps identified under paragraph (a); and (f) divide the total surface area determined under paragraph (e) by the inside diameter of the tank and record the result in cm 2 per m.

3 Despite paragraphs 1(a) and 2(c), an instrument with a single probe not larger than 0.3 cm may be used to measure the seal gaps if it can measure gaps ranging in size from 0.3 cm to 4 cm with a margin of error less than half the diameter of the seal gap.

1 The control conditions to be used when measuring the VOC vapour concentration in the space between the fixed roof and the internal floating roof of a tank equipped with an internal floating roof are as follows: (a) the volume of liquid in the tank must not be reduced by more than 25% of the tank’s total liquid capacity during the eight-hour period before the measurement is taken unless the tank has a continual flow of liquid while the tank is operating under normal conditions, in which case the measurement must be taken during a period of normal operating conditions; (b) the wind speed must not exceed the greater of (i) 10 km/h, and (ii) the historical average wind speed specific to the month in which the measurement is taken, as determined at the nearest meteorological observation station to the facility, based on the most recent Canadian Climate Normals data published by the Meteorological Service of Canada, plus 5 km/h; (c) the measurement must be taken at a vertical distance of not less than 2 m and not more than 4 m below the fixed roof, or, if the vertical distance between the fixed roof and the floating roof is less than 3 m, at half of the vertical distance between the fixed roof and the floating roof; and (d) the measurement must be taken at least 2 m away from any open hatches, covers or other emissions control devices through which vapours could be exchanged with the outside environment.

2 The procedure to be followed to measure the VOC vapour concentration in the space between the fixed roof and the internal floating roof of a tank equipped with an internal floating roof consists of the following steps taken in the following order: (a) use an instrument referred to in subsection 26 (2) of these Regulations; (b) record (i) the type of instrument that is used, (ii) the estimated wind speed at the time that the measurement is taken, (iii) the volume of liquid in the tank at the time that the measurement is taken and eight hours before that time, and (iv) the result of the measurement; and (c) if the instrument reading is in units other than LEL%, convert the value of the reading to LEL% and record the original instrument reading, the converted value and the conversion calculation.
