8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **30** of **176** (a) During the initial performance test required by §60.8(b), you must achieve at a minimum, an SO 2 emission reduction efficiency (Z i ) to be determined from Table 1 of this subpart based on the sulfur feed rate (X) and the sulfur content of the acid gas (Y) of the affected facility. (b) After demonstrating compliance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, you must achieve at a minimum, an
SO 2 e mission reduction efficiency (Z c ) to be determined from Table 2 of this subpart based on the sulfur feed rate (X) and the sulfur content of the acid gas (Y) of the affected facility. **60.5406 What test methods and procedures must I use for my sweetening uni**  **ts affected facilities at onshore natural gas processing plants?**  (a) In conducting the performance tests required in §60.8, you must use the test methods in appendix A of this part or other methods and procedures as specified in this section, except as pr ovided in paragraph §60.8(b). (b) During a performance test required by §60.8, you must determine the minimum required reduction efficiencies (Z) of SO 2 emissions as required in §60.5405(a) and (b) as follows: (1) The average sulfur feed rate (X) must be computed as follows: X = K Q a Y Where: 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **31** of **176**
X = average sulfur feed rate, Mg/D (LT/D). Q a = average volumetric flow rate of acid gas from sweetening unit, dscm/day (dscf/day). Y = average H 2 S concentration in acid gas feed from sweetening unit, percent by vol ume, expressed as a decimal. K = (32 kg S/kg

- mole)/((24.04 dscm/kg

- mole)(1000 kg S/Mg)) = 1.331 × 10 −3 Mg/dscm, for metric units = (32 lb S/lb

- mole)/((385.36 dscf/lb

- mole)(2240 lb S/long ton)) = 3.707 × 10 −5 long ton/dscf, for English units. (2) You must use the continuous readings from the process flowmeter to determine the average volumetric flow rate (Q a ) in dscm/day (dscf/day) of the acid gas from the sweetening unit for each run. (3) You must use the Tutwiler procedure in §60.5408 or a chromatog raphic procedure following ASTM E260

- 96 (incorporated by reference as specified in §60.17) to determine the H 2 S concentration in the acid gas feed from the sweetening unit (Y). At least one sample per hour (at equally spaced intervals) must be taken during each 4

- hour run. The arithmetic mean of all samples must be the average H2S concentration (Y) on a dry basis for the run. By multiplying the result from the Tutwiler procedure by 1.62 × 10 −3 , the units gr/100 scf are converted to volume percent. (4) Usin g the information from paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(3) of this section, Tables 1 and 2 of this subpart must be used to determine the required initial (Z i ) and continuous (Z c ) reduction efficiencies of SO 2 emissions.

You must use readings taken at the beginning and end of each run, the tank geometry, sulfur density at the storage temperature, and sample duration to determine the sulfur production rate (S) in kg/hr (lb/hr) for each run. (3) You must compute the emission rate of sulfur for each run as follows: E = C e Q sd / K 1 Where: E = emission rate of sulfur per run, kg/hr. C e = concentration of sulfur equivalent (SO 2+ red uced sulfur), g/dscm (lb/dscf). Q sd = volumetric flow rate of effluent gas, dscm/hr (dscf/hr). K 1 = conversion factor, 1000 g/kg (7000 gr/lb). (4) The concentration (C e ) of sulfur equivalent must be the sum of the SO 2 and TRS concentrations, after being c onverted to sulfur equivalents. For each run and each of the test methods specified in this paragraph (c) of this section, you must use a sampling time of at least 4 hours. You must use Method 1 of

8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **33** of **176** appendix A to part 60 of this chapter to select the sampli ng site. The sampling point in the duct must be at the centroid of the cross

- section if the area is less than 5 m 2 (54 ft 2 ) or at a point no closer to the walls than 1 m (39 in) if the cross

sectional area is 5 m 2 or more, and the centroid is more than 1 m (39 in.) from the wall. (i) You must use Method 6 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter to determine the SO 2 concentration. You must take eight samples of 20 minutes each at 30

- minute intervals. The arithmetic average must be the concentration for th e run. The concentration must be multiplied by 0.5 × 10 −3 to convert the results to sulfur equivalent. (ii) You must use Method 15 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter to determine the TRS concentration from reduction

type devices or where the oxygen content of the effluent gas is less than 1.0 percent by volume. The sampling rate must be at least 3 liters/min (0.1 ft 3 /min) to insure minimum residence time in the sample line. You must take sixteen samples at 15

- minute intervals. The arithmetic average of all the samples must be the concentration for the run. The concentration in ppm reduced sulfur as sulfur must be multiplied by 1.333 × 10 −3 to convert the results to sulfur equivalent. (iii) You must use Method 16A or Method 15 of appendix A to part 6 0 of this chapter or ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10

- 1981, Part 10 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **34** of **176** (manual portion only) (incorporated by reference as specified in §60.17) to determine the reduced sulfur concentration from oxidation

- type devices or where the oxygen content of the effluent gas is greater than 1.0 percent by volume. You must take eight samples of 20 minutes each at 30

- minute intervals. The arithmetic average must be the concentration for the run. The concentration in ppm reduced sulfur as sulfur must be multiplied by 1.333 × 10 −3 to convert the results to sulfur equivalent. (iv) You must use Method 2 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter to determine the volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas. A velocity traverse must be conducted at the beginning and end of each run. The arith metic average of the two measurements must be used to calculate the volumetric flow rate (Q sd ) for the run. For the determination of the effluent gas molecular weight, a single integrated sample over the 4

- hour period may be taken and analyzed or grab samp les at 1

- hour intervals may be taken, analyzed, and averaged. For the moisture content, you must take two samples of at least 0.10 dscm (3.5 dscf) and 10 minutes at the beginning of the 4

8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **35** of **176 60.5407 What are the requirements for monitoring of emissions**  **and operations from my sweetening unit affected facilities at onshore natural gas processing plants?**  (a) If your sweetening unit affe cted facility is located at an onshore natural gas processing plant and is subject to the provisions of §60.5405(a) or (b) you must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate monitoring devices or perform measurements to determine the following operations i nformation on a daily basis: (1) The accumulation of sulfur product over each 24

- hour period. The monitoring method may incorporate the use of an instrument to measure and record the liquid sulfur production rate, or may be a procedure for measuring and r ecording the sulfur liquid levels in the storage vessels with a level indicator or by manual soundings, with subsequent calculation of the sulfur production rate based on the tank geometry, stored sulfur density, and elapsed time between readings. The meth od must be designed to be accurate within ±2 percent of the 24

- hour sulfur accumulation. (2) The H 2 S concentration in the acid gas from the sweetening unit for each 24

- hour period. At least one sample per 24

- hour period must be collected and analyzed usin g the equation specified in §60.5406(b)(1). The Administrator may require you to demonstrate that the H 2 S concentration obtained from one or 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **36** of **176**
more samples over a 24

- hour period is within ±20 percent of the average of 12 samples collected at equally spaced i ntervals during the 24

- hour period. In instances where the H2S concentration of a single sample is not within ±20 percent of the average of the 12 equally spaced samples, the Administrator may require a more frequent sampling schedule. (3) The average aci d gas flow rate from the sweetening unit . You must install and operate a monitoring device to continuously measure the flow rate of acid gas. The monitoring device reading must be recorded at least once per hour during each 24

- hour period. The average acid gas flow rate must be computed from the individual readings. (4) The sulfur feed rate (X) . For each 24

- hour period, you must compute X using the equation specified in §60.5406(b)( 1 ). (5) The required sulfur dioxide emission reduction efficiency for the 24

- hour period

. You must use the sulfur feed rate and the H 2 S concentration in the acid gas for the 24

- hour period, as applicable, to determine the required reduction efficiency in accordance with the provisions of §60.5405(b). (b) Where compliance is achieved through the use of an oxidation control system or a reduction control system followed by a continually operated incineration device, you must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate monitoring devices and continuous emission monitors as follows: 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **37** of **176**

(1) A continuous monitoring system to measure the total sulfur emission rate (E) of SO 2 in the gases discharged to the atmosphere . The SO 2 emission rate must be expressed in terms of equivalent sulfur mass flow rates (kg/hr (lb/hr)). The span of this mon itoring system must be set so that the equivalent emission limit of §60.5405(b) will be between 30 percent and 70 percent of the measurement range of the instrument system. (2) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(3) of this section: A monitoring device to measure the temperature of the gas leaving the combustion zone of the incinerator, if compliance with §60.5405(a) is achieved through the use of an oxidation control system or a reduction control system followed by a continually operated incineration devi ce. The monitoring device must be certified by the manufacturer to be accurate to within ±1 percent of the temperature being measured. (3) When performance tests are conducted under the provision of §60.8 to demonstrate compliance with the standards under §60.5405, the temperature of the gas leaving the incinerator combustion zone must be determined using the monitoring device. If the volumetric ratio of sulfur dioxide to sulfur dioxide plus total reduced sulfur (expressed as SO 2 ) in the gas leaving the in cinerator is equal to or less than 0.98, then temperature monitoring may be used to demonstrate that sulfur dioxide emission monitoring is sufficient to determine 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **38** of **176** total sulfur emissions. At all times during the operation of the facility, you must maintain the average temperature of the gas leaving the combustion zone of the incinerator at or above the appropriate level determined during the most recent performance test to ensure the sulfur compound oxidation criteria are met. Operation at lower average temp eratures may be considered by the Administrator to be unacceptable operation and maintenance of the affected facility. You may request that the minimum incinerator temperature be reestablished by conducting new performance tests under §60.8. (4) Upon prom ulgation of a performance specification of continuous monitoring systems for total reduced sulfur compounds at sulfur recovery plants, you may, as an alternative to paragraph (b)(2) of this section, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous em ission monitoring system for total reduced sulfur compounds as required in paragraph (d) of this section in addition to a sulfur dioxide emission monitoring system. The sum of the equivalent sulfur mass emission rates from the two monitoring systems must b e used to compute the total sulfur emission rate (E). (c) Where compliance is achieved through the use of a reduction control system not followed by a continually operated incineration device, you must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuou s monitoring system to measure the emission 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **39** of **176**
rate of reduced sulfur compounds as SO 2 equivalent in the gases discharged to the atmosphere. The SO 2 equivalent compound emission rate must be expressed in terms of equivalent sulfur mass flow rates (kg/hr (lb/h r)). The span of this monitoring system must be set so that the equivalent emission limit of §60.5405(b) will be between 30 and 70 percent of the measurement range of the system. This requirement becomes effective upon promulgation of a performance specifi cation for continuous monitoring systems for total reduced sulfur compounds at sulfur recovery plants. (d) For those sources required to comply with paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, you must calculate the average sulfur emission reduction efficiency achieved (R) for each 24

- hour clock internal. The 24

- hour interval may begin and end at any selected clock time, but must be consistent. You must compute the 24

- hour average reduction efficiency (R) based on the 24

- hour average sulfur production rate (S) a nd sulfur emission rate (E), using the equation in §60.5406(c)(1). (1) You must use data obtained from the sulfur production rate monitoring device specified in paragraph (a) of this section to determine S. (2) You must use data obtained from the sulfur emission rate monitoring systems specified in paragraphs (b) or (c) of this section to calculate a 24

- hour average for the sulfur 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **40** of **176** emission rate (E). The monitoring system must provide at least one data point in each successive 15

- minute interval. You must use at least two data points to calculate each 1

- hour average. You must use a minimum of 18 1

- hour averages to compute each 24

- hour average. (e) In lieu of complying with paragraphs (b) or (c) of this section, those sources with a design capacity of less than 152 Mg/D (150 LT/D) of H 2 S expressed as sulfur may calculate the sulfur emission reduction efficiency achieved for each 24

- hour period by:

R = K 2 S X Where: R = The sulfur dioxide removal efficiency achieved during the 24

- hour period, percent. K 2 = C onversion factor, 0.02400 Mg/D per kg/hr (0.01071 LT/D per lb/hr). S = The sulfur production rate during the 24

- hour period, kg/hr (lb/hr). X = The sulfur feed rate in the acid gas, Mg/D (LT/D). (f) The monitoring devices required in paragraphs (b)(1), (b )(3) and (c) of this section must be calibrated at least annually according to the manufacturer's specifications, as required by §60.13(b). (g) The continuous emission monitoring systems required in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(3), and (c) of this section must be subject to the emission monitoring requirements of §60.13 of the General Provisions. For conducting the continuous emission 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **41** of **176** monitoring system performance evaluation required by §60.13(c), Performance Specification 2 of appendix B to part 60 of this chap ter must apply, and Method 6 must be used for systems required by paragraph (b) of this section. **§60.5408 What is an o ptional procedure for measuring hydrogen**  **sulfide in acid gas —**  **Tutwiler Procedure?** The Tutwiler procedure may be found in the Gas Engineers Handbook, Fuel Gas Engineering practices, The Industrial Press, 93 Worth Street, New York, NY, 1966, First Edition, Second Printing, page 6/25 (Docket A

- 67). (a) When an instantaneous sample is desired and H2S concentration is ten gra ins per 1000 cubic foot or more, a 100 ml Tutwiler burette is used. For concentrations less than ten grains, a 500 ml Tutwiler burette and more dilute solutions are used. In principle, this method consists of titrating hydrogen sulfide in a gas sample dire ctly with a standard solution of iodine. (b) Apparatus . (See Figure 1 of this subpart) A 100 or 500 ml capacity Tutwiler burette, with two

(c) Reagents . (1) Iodine stock solution, 0.1N. Weight 12.7 g iodine, and 20 to 25 g cp potassium iodide for each liter of solution. Dis solve KI in as little water as necessary; dissolve iodine in concentrated KI solution, make up to proper volume, and store in glass

- stoppered brown glass bottle. (2) Standard iodine solution, 1 ml=0.001771 g I. Transfer 33.7 ml of above 0.1N stock solutio n into a 250 ml volumetric flask; add water to mark and mix well. Then, for 100 ml sample of gas, 1 ml of standard iodine solution is equivalent to 100 grains H 2 S per cubic feet of gas. (3) Starch solution. Rub into a thin paste about one teaspoonful of w heat starch with a little water; pour into about a pint of boiling water; stir; let cool and decant off clear solution. Make fresh solution every few days. (d) Procedure

. Fill leveling bulb with starch solution. Raise (L), open cock (G), open (F) to (A), and close (F) when solutions starts to run out of gas inlet. Close (G). Purge gas sampling line and connect with (A). Lower (L) and open (F) and (G). When liquid level is several ml past the 100 ml mark, close (G) and (F), and disconnect sampling tube. Ope n (G) and bring starch solution to 100 ml mark by raising (L); then close (G). Open (F) momentarily, to bring gas in burette to atmospheric pressure, and close (F). Open (G), bring liquid level down to 10 ml mark by lowering (L). Close (G), clamp rubber tu bing near (E) 8/ 30 /201 3 RLSO of Revision sPage **43** of **176** and disconnect it from burette. Rinse graduated cylinder with a standard iodine solution (0.00171 g I per ml); fill cylinder and record reading. Introduce successive small amounts of iodine thru (F); shake well after each addition; continue u ntil a faint permanent blue color is obtained. Record reading; subtract from previous reading, and call difference D. (e) With every fresh stock of starch solution perform a blank test as follows: Introduce fresh starch solution into burette up to 100 ml mark. Close (F) and (G). Lower (L) and open (G). When liquid level reaches the 10 ml mark, close (G). With air in burette, titrate as during a test and up to same end point. Call ml of iodine used C. Then, Grains H 2 S per 100 cubic foot of gas = 100(D

— C) ( f) Greater sensitivity can be attained if a 500 ml capacity Tutwiler burette is used with a more dilute (0.001N) iodine solution. Concentrations less than 1.0 grains per 100 cubic foot can be determined in this way. Usually, the starch

iodine end point is much less distinct, and a blank determination of end point, with H 2 S

- free gas or air, is required.
