SUBJECT: Petroleum Refinery Sector Rule: Flare Impact Estimates

1. Purpose

This memorandum provides cost and emission impact estimates for different regulatory alternatives to ensure petroleum refinery flares used as a control device meet an equivalent level of emissions control ( e.g. , 98 percent destruction) for various sources of emissions as prescribed in the petroleum r efinery n ational e missions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP)

.

2. Background

Flares used as a control device subject to NESHAP are required to meet certain design and operating requirements as speci fied in 40 CFR 63.11. The available data at the time suggested that flares meeting these design and operating requirements would achieve a minimum destruction efficiency of no less than 98 percent emissions. With the advent of activities to reduce the am ount of flaring at refineries, more refinery flares are commonly operated at high turndown (minimum flow conditions). Recent evidence through Passive Fourier Transform Infrared (PFTIR) spectroscopy testing suggests that steam

- and air

- assisted flares can have a significant degradation in destruction efficiency when operated at high turndown or at other times when steam

- and air

- assist rates are too high ( EPA, 2012 ) . As many of the flares operated at petroleum refineries are steam

- or air

- assisted, concern s of poor flare destruction efficiency are particularly significant for petroleum refinery flares.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supported a study to better understand flare performance and to identify key operating/monitoring parameters t hat would ensure adequate performance of flares at all times ( EPA, 2012 ). The EPA is also performing a risk and technology review of the petroleum refinery NESHAP (40 CFR part 63

, subparts CC and UUU) as part of their requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 112(d)(6) and (f)(2). Particularly, under CAA section 112(d)(6), the EPA is required to review these technology

- based NESHAP and to revise them “as necessary (takin g into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies)” no less frequently than every 8 years. Many of the organic hazardous air pollutant ( HAP ) emission controls specified in the refinery NESHAP require 95 to 98 percent control eff iciency (or reduce to 20 parts per million by volume ( ppmv ) total organic carbon) and flares meeting the general provisions requirements for flares as control devices were deemed acceptable control alternatives. However, given the growing body of data ind icating that flares that are over

- assisted are likely not meeting these target control levels, the EPA is considering revis ing the flare monitoring and operational requirements to the refinery NESHAP to ensure compliance with the CAA section 112(d)(2) and (d)(3) standards. This memorandum

### Technical Memorandum

documents the cost and emission impacts associated with alternative monitoring options to ensure the prop er performance of flares.

3. Control Alternatives

The EPA conducted a detailed review of performance data for flares ( EPA, 2012 ) and determined that, for steam

- and air

- assisted flares, the combustion zone’s lower flammability limit, combustible gas concentration, or the net heating value all provided equivalent indications of the flare combustion efficiency. As each o f these parameters would require an evaluation of combustion zone parameters, monitoring of the flare gas flow and composition (or heat content) must also be matched with steam

- or air

- assist rate monitoring

. Unassisted flares would only need to monitor t he flare gas composition (or heat content) since there is no dilution with assist gas; however, these flares may still need to install monitors to ensure adequate combustion efficiency for the flare at all times. For steam

- or air

- assisted flares, monitor s are generally expected to be needed for measuring flare gas flow rates, flare gas compositi on (or heat content)

, and assist gas flow rates.

As an alternative to continuous monitoring system s , process knowledge, engineering calculations and/or grab sample s can be used to determine the composition ( or heat content ) of the flare gas. The key disadvantage of this option is that refinery owners or operators will generally have to make this assessment after the fact and they will not be able to actively adjust assist gas rates or natural gas supplementation to ensure compliance during the event. However, there are a number of situations where the refinery owner or operator may elect to use this option. For example, some flares receive flows only from a specif ic process that has a consistent composition and high heat content. In this case, flare and assist gas flow rate monitoring alone would be sufficient to determine compliance on a proactive basis without the need to install a gas composition monitor

. This alternative may also be preferred for flares that are used infrequently ( emergency only and non

- routine flow flares) or that have flare gas recovery systems (FGRS) that are designed and operated to recover 100 percent of the flare gas under typical condit ions. For these flares, flaring events may be so seldom that the refinery owner or operator may prefer the uncertainty in proactive control to the high cost of continuous monitors that would seldom see flow. Additionally, if these flares generally handle larger events, the flare gas flow rate is typically sufficient to avoid over

- assisting, so that the owner or operator may be comfortable with an after the fact determination of compliance using engineering calculations and a grab

sam ple analysis of the fl ared gas

.

The action levels for the operating parameters are expected to be established based on the policy requirement that flares achieve 98 percent control efficiency. While owners or operators may elect to comply with any of the three different operat ing parameters, the cost and environmental impacts of the flare standard are estimated considering the refinery owner or operator will elect to comply with the net heating value standard. The following regulatory alternatives are considered in this impact s ana lysis memorandum.

1) Thresholds equivalent to 2 7 0 British thermal units per standard cubic foot ( Btu/scf ) in the combustion zone (380 Btu/scf for flares with hydrogen

- olefin interactions) with options for either continuous monitoring or enginee ring calculations/grab samples.

2) Thresholds equivalent to 2 7 0 Btu/scf in the combustion zone (380 Btu/scf for flares with hydrogen

- olefin interactions) with a requirement for contin uous monitoring for all flares.

4. Emission Estimates

Baseline emission estimates for flares are difficult to develop because flare gas can be highly variable in composition and flaring events can be unpredictable and episodic in nature. Due to the lack of a contained exhaust stack, it is difficult to measur e the combustion products and to determine the destruction efficiency of flares on an on

- going basis. While there have been studies to indicate that “over

- assisted” flares can have poor destruction efficiencies, it is difficult to project the percentage o f gas that may be poorly destroyed in these flares. Many times, “over

assisting” occurs during high turn down ( i.e. , low flare flow). During periods of high flare gas flow (during large episodic events), the destruction efficiency for these flares is li kely to be high because the flare would not be “over

- assisted” during these high flow events. Consequently, the baseline emission estimate has considerable uncertainty. Ranges of emission estimates are provided in order to frame t he uncertainty of the an alysis.

Baseline Emissions for Flares Assuming 98 Percent Control Efficiency

The EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) in 40 CFR p art 98 requires several industry sectors to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (74 FR 56260). The GHGRP inc ludes specific reporting requirements for flares and other GHG emission sources at petroleum refineries (40 CFR part 98

, subpart Y). The total GHG emissions reported for flares under subpart Y for the first two reporting years under the GHGRP are summariz ed in Table 1

.

2011 3.95

- million 11,500 39.3

a CO 2 = carbon dioxide; CH 4 = methane; N 2 O = nitrous oxide ; tonnes/yr = metric tons per year.



### The GHG calculation methodologies for flares in s ubpart Y assume a flare combustion efficiency of 98 percent. Based on the equations required to be used in the GHGRP, one can calculate the total methane flow to the flare as well as the total hydrocarbon (THC) flow to the flare (assuming there is no sign ificant carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO 2 

### ) in the flare gas; i.e. , all CO 2 

### is produced from hydrocarbon combustion). The volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are then solely dependent on the ethane concentration of the flare gas ( since THC and methane emissions are fixed based on the GHGRP flare emissions and VOC emissions = THC emissions

– methane emissions

– ethane emissions). Table 2 shows the calculated VOC emissions for refinery flares for three different concentrations of ethane to pr ovide a reasonable

ran ge for VOC emission estimates.

The concentration for ethane was as follows: high ethane case, 20%; low ethane case, 5%; and mid

- range ethane

cas e, 12%. The concentrations of methane and propane were then determined for each reporting year based on the constraints of the reported GHG emissions.



### In 2011, the EPA also conducted a detailed Information Collection Request (ICR) of the petroleum refining industry (EPA, 2011). Under Component 1 of this ICR, the EPA required petroleum refineries to provide information about specific process units and emission sources present at the facility, including information about flares. Under Component 2 of this ICR, the EPA required petroleum refineries to submit a detailed emissions inventory (for the calendar year 2010) following the guidance provided in the Emissions Protocol for Petroleum Refineries (RTI, 2011; hereafter referred to as “the Protocol document”). The Protocol document specifically instructed respondents to assume 98 percent destruction efficiency when estimating emissions from flares. Inform ation for 519 flares was reported under Component 1 of the ICR with 510 flares at “major source” facilities

. 1 

### Under Component 2, VOC emissions data (either as overall VOC emissions or as individual non- HAP VOC emissions) were reported for a total of 432 f lare sources with 427 flare s at major source refineries . A compilation of all nonconfidential Component 1 responses and all Component 2 responses are available on the EPA’s Technology Transfer Network (see: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/petref/petrefpg.html ). The VOC and HAP data extracted from the Component 2 dataset used in this analysis are provided in Attachment 1 to this memorandum ; the facility data highlighted indicate data from flares at facilities that reported to b e “ synthetic minor ” (or “area source”) facilities 2 

### and are, therefore , not subject to 40 CFR part 63, subparts CC and UUU

. Note that some refinery owners or operators reported flare emissions in the “emissions_non_routine_2010” column instead of or in addition

to the “emissions_2010” column. Only the “emissions_2010” column data was originally

extra cted and used in this analysis.

1 Major source facilities are facilities that have a potential to emit considering controls, in the aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants as defined in CAA section 112(a)(1)

. 2 Synthetic minor facilities are facilities th at received federally enforceable emission limits so that their potential to emit considering controls, in the aggregate, is less than 10 tons per year of any hazardous air pollutant and less than 25 tons per year of any combination of hazardous air pollut ants . These facilities therefore meet the definition of “area sources” in CAA section 112(a)(2).

For this analysis, VOC emissions from Component 2 were determined as the larger of the overall VOC emissions, as reported, or the sum of the individual VOC and volatile organic hazardous air pollutant (VOHAP) emissions reported for a given flare source. If only HAP data were reported, no VOC estimate was made. The cumulative VOC emissions total determined for the 432 flares reported in Component 2 was 9,270 tons per year ( tons/yr ) , with 9,260 tons/yr released from the 427 flares at major source facilities

. A n additional 1,740 tons /yr of VOC was repor ted in Component 2 for flares in the “emissions_non_routine_2010” column . Extrapolating the VOC emissions to all flares assuming the 87 “missing” flares have similar emission characteristics yields an estimated 1 3

, 2 00 tons/yr [( 9,270 + 1,740) × 519 ÷ 432 tons/yr] of VOC emissions in 2010. All flare data are used for this extrapolation because the GHGRP requires all refineries to report their GHG emissions regardless of size. This extrapolated value of 13

, 200 tons/yr of VOC agrees well with the VOC emissi ons estimated for flares based on the data reported to the EPA’s GHGRP assuming a moderate ethane concentration. Because the ICR data were “missing” 87 flares , the 2010 GHGRP baseline emission estimate using the mid

- range ethane concentration of
1 2

, 6 00 to ns/yr was selected as the best estimate of 2010 VOC emissions if flare control efficiency is 98 percent. Also, based on the uncertainties in this analysis and the small VOC emissions reported for flares at area source facilities, this estimate of 12,600 tons/yr VOC emissions is assumed to be a reasonable estimate of the annual emissions for all flares at major

source refineries.

The Component 2 data were also reviewed to estimate VOHAP emissions from flares. VOHAP emi ssions were reported for 357 flares; however, not all flares that reported VOHAP emissions also reported non

- HAP VOC emissions. There were 348 flare sources that reported both VOC and VOHAP emissions; the ratio of the nationwide VOHAP emissions to VOC emi ssions for these flare sources was 0.115 (1,030 tons/yr HAP ÷ 8,970 tons/yr VOC). This ratio was not impacted when the analysis was limited to major source refineries

. Consequently, a reasonable baseline VOHAP emission estimate for all petroleum refinery flares at major source refineries (assuming 98 percent control efficiency) is approximately 1, 45 0 tons/yr (1 2

, 6 00 tons/yr × 0.115).

Table 3 provides flare counts for all flares at major source refineries by assist type, operation type, and whether the fla re is subject to 40 CFR 63.11. Approximately 80 percent of petroleum refinery flares are steam

- assisted, 10 percent are air

- assisted, and 10 percent are unassisted. This profile appears to hold regardless of operational class (routine or non

- routine flow flares) or whether or not a flare is subject to 40 CFR 63.11. Given that approximately 90 percent of petroleum refinery flares are assisted flares, a significant portion of refinery flares may have flare combustion efficiencies well below 98 perc ent if t hey are over

- assisted.

### While it is possible that some of the flares subject to 40 CFR 63.11 are subject because of NESHAP other than subparts CC and UUU, it is reasonable to assume that essentially all of the flares subject to 40 CFR 63.11 would be impacted by amendments to the petroleum refinery NESHAP (subparts CC and UUU) to enhance the flare monitoring provisions to ensure proper flare control performance

. It is also possible that other amendments to subparts CC and UUU (such as new requirements for pre ssure relief valves in subpart CC) may cause some of the flares not currently subject to 40 CFR 63.11 to have to comply with the new flare requirements.

It is interesting to note that while only 5 3 percent of all flares are subject to 40 CFR 63.11, routin e flow flares that are subject to 40 CFR 63.11 represent 6 8 percent of all routine flow flares. This could indicate that the flares subject to 40 CFR 63.11 could contribute well more than 50 percent of the nationwide flare VOC/HAP emissions. Additionally , the flares subject to 40 CFR 63.11 would be likely to receive flare gas with a higher HAP content than flares not subject to 40 CFR 63.11. However, it is difficult to quantify the impact of these ‘likelihoods;” therefore, emissions for flares currently subject to 40 CFR 63.11 are estimated to be 50 percent of the total nationwide flare emissions (on both a VOC and HAP basis).

Baseline Emissions of Flares Based on Actual Average Flare Control Efficiency

The American Petroleum Institute (API) , the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association (NPRA ; now known as the American Fuels and Petrochemical Manufactur e rs ( AFPM ) )

, and the American Chemi stry Council (ACC) gathered data about flare waste gas and steam flow rates for 38 steam

- assisted flares, characterizing different operating conditions by waste gas flow rate, composition, and duration of that operating condition. A summary of the study and t he data collect ed by API /NPRA/ACC are included in Attachment 2 to this memorandum. The flare s in the API/NPRA/ACC dataset represent flares for which flow and compositional data were

6

### Technical Memorandum

– Petroleum Refinery Sector Rule: Flare Impacts Estimates January 16, 2014

available and also included several chemical plant flares, so this dataset is not necessarily representative of flares nationwide in the petroleum refining industry. All flow conditions for two olefin flares were removed from the data because these flares were not considered to be representative of refinery operations. Additionally, data were removed for a few operating scenarios where either no assist steam was used or where conditions appeared to consist of standby/ purge only flow for which the operating limits would not appl y

. The remaining flare/flow conditions from the API flare dataset were used to estimate refinery flare performance; this dataset is referred t o as the “refinery flare dataset” to distinguish it from the full API/NPRA/ACC flare dataset

. While the representativeness of either the full API/NPRA/ACC or refinery flare dataset is questionable, these data provide the only means by which the average

ne t heating value of the gas in the flare’s combustion zone ( i.e. , accounting for dilution from the assist steam) could be calculated across a reasonable sample of flares and differing flow conditions for those flares

.

In order to use the refinery flare dataset to estimate average flare performance ( i.e.

, baseline and “controlled” emissions ) , a correlation is needed between combustion zone net heating value (NHV cz 

### ) and flare performance

. The flare data appears to suggest a snuff point of the flare at an NHV cz 

### value of 80 Btu/scf and the combustion efficiency of 96.5 percent (assumed to be equivalent to 98 percent destruction efficiency) at an NHV cz 

### value of 270 Btu/scf. Therefore, the following equation was proposed to determine combustion efficie ncy as a function of NHV cz

### In the flare performance studies, t he combustion efficiency was determined based on complete oxidation of the hydrocarbons to CO 2

For each flare and flow condition, the total flow of VOC to the flare, the NHV cz 

### , and the controlled VOC emission s from the flare (based on the calculated DE) w ere determined. The sum of the VOC input and the sum of the ca l c u lated emissions across all of the flare/flow conditions w ere used to estimate a flow weig hted average destruction efficiency across all flares in the refinery flares dataset. Based on this analysis, the average VOC control efficiency for flares in the refinery flares data set was 9 3 .9 percent.

Table 4 summarizes baseline estimate for nationwide VOC and HAP emissions from petroleum refinery flares assuming 98 percent control efficiency (as described in the previous section) and the baseline emissions projected if the average control efficiency of flares is 9 3 .9 percent. It is clear from Table 4 that flares may be a much larger source of emissions than projected assumin g 98 percent control efficiency, with a baseline VOC emission estimate of 38

, 6 00 tons/yr. A fter investigating flare performance issues, the EPA ’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) estimated that VOC emissions from flares operated by Marathon were 5,609 tons/yr rather than 453 tons/yr as reported by Marathon

, or 1 2 times higher than previously estimate d

. Similarly, the EPA estimated that VOC emissions from flares operated by BP Whiting were 3,119 tons/yr rather than 123 tons/yr reported by BP Whiting or 25 times higher than previously estimated

. Based on OEC A’s analysis, VOC emissions from flares c ould approach 1 0 0,000 tons/yr (Foley, 2013)

. Thus, while the baseline VOC emission estimate of 38,600 tons/yr derived from the refinery flare dataset is significant, it appears reasonable based on all available data.

The emission estimates labeled “ Refinery Flares Directly Imp acted by Amendments to 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CC and UUU ” (here after referred to as “Part 63 flares”) are expected to be a lower limit of the baseline emission for impacted flares due to the considerations previously discussed. Emission estimates for “ A ll Flares at Major Source Refineries ” are included to represent an upper limit of the emissions for all flares potentially impacted by amendments to 40 CFR part 63

, subparts CC and UUU.

Emissions Reductions Estimates for Control Alternatives

The emission reductions were estimated based on the overall flare control efficiency estimates for the regulatory alternatives. The calculation methodology followed the calculations made to estimate the actual average baseline flare control efficiency. U sing the same refinery flare dataset, any flare/flare gas flow scenario in which NHV cz 

### was less than the target value of the control alternative was assumed to be raised to the minimum target NHV cz 

### (by first decreasing steam flow and then , if necessary, by increasing natural gas use if additional heat content was needed at the minimum steam use rates to meet the required NHV cz 

### )

. The calculations were performed first using the general NHV cz 

### target value of 270 Btu/scf. The hydrogen and olefins concentration in the combustion zone were then evaluated based on the steam assist and natural gas addition rates needed to meet the 270 Btu/scf target to determine if the higher NHV cz 

### target value of 380 Btu/scf was required due to anticipated hydrogen

- olefin interactions

. If the higher
NHV cz 

### target value of 380 Btu/scf was required, the steam flow and, if necessary, the natural gas addition rates were again adjusted to mee t the 380 Btu/scf target va lue.

The combustion and destruction efficiencies for each flare/flare flow scenario were then calculated based on the “post

- control” NHV cz 

### using the equations presented previously. The controlled VOC emissions were calculated across all flares and flow conditions , summed, and compared to the total VOC input to the flares to determine a weighted

- average destruction (control) efficiency for t he control alternative. This method was used directly to estimate the post

- control emissions and emission reductions for Control Alternative 1

. Because Control Alternative 2 has the same target NHV cz 

### values as Altern a tive 1 , these alternatives w ould be

p rojected to have the same VOC emission reductions. However, as Control Alternative 2 has

more dynamic monitoring requirements, Control Alternative 2 was assumed to have slightly greater average control efficiency than determined for Alternative 1 . The ov erall control (destruction efficiency) for Alternative 1 was calculated to be 9 9

. 1 percent , so the control efficiency for Alternative 2 was set at 99

. 3 percent

. Table 5 presents the estimated control efficiency and emission reductions projected for each regulatory alternative for all petroleum refinery flares . It should be noted that emissi on reductions for “Part 63 flares ” are estimated to be no less than half the emis sion reductions for all flares as presented in Table 5

The nationwide GHG emission estimates from flares reported by petroleum refinery in the GHGRP (provided in Table 1 of this memorandum) assume a 98 percent destruction efficiency. If the destruction efficiency of flares is currently closer to 93.9 percent, the n the current GHG emissions from petroleum refinery flares would be higher than the estimates in Table 1

. This is because of the higher global warming potential (GWP) of methane

. While CO 2 

### emissions from flares will increase with higher destruction effic iencies, emissions of methane will decrease and there will be a net decrease in GHG emission s on a CO 2 

### equivalence (CO 2 

### e) basis. Table 6 provides the projected GHG impacts of Control Alternative 1. Considering only the improvement in destruction efficien cies, requiring owners or operators of flares to maintain a minimum NHV cz

As noted in the following section, owners or operators of these flares are expected to install improved steam controls and reduce steam usage under certain flow conditions, but they are also expected to increase their natural g as use to supplement the net heating value of the flare gas under other flow.

5. Cost Estimates

In order to assess the cost impacts for the different regulatory alternatives, costs of installing the new monitoring systems must be estimate d and the number of flares that would need to install new monitoring systems needs to be determined.

Specific Monitoring System Costs

In general, facilities are expected to need a flare gas flow monitor and either a gas chromatograph (GC) , total hydrocarbo n (HC) analyzer, or calorimeter (Btu monitor)

. Most flares are expected to have already installed a flare gas flow monitor and sulfur analyzer system (including analyzer shelter) in order to comply with the requirements of the new source performance standards (NSPS) for refineries (40 CFR part 60, s ubpart Ja ) prior to the compliance date for amendments to subparts CC and UUU . However, s ubpart Ja does not require continuous flow monitors for “emergency only” flares. These “emergency only” flares

were assumed to use the engineering calculations under Control Alternative 1

. Installation of

new flare gas flow monitoring systems would only be necessary under Alternative 2 (when these “emergency flares” would no longer be allowed to use engineering calcul ations)

. Costs were not estimated for visible emissions requirements or monitoring systems used to indicate the presence of a pilot flame as these are already requirements in the current set of refinery NESHAP.

Actual industry costs submitted to the EPA through consent decrees were used as the primary source of cost estimation. These costs included all installation and ancillary costs associated with the installation of the monitors ( i.e. , analyzer shelters and electrical connections). For some equipmen t, vendor quotes were collected and total installed costs were projected using basic cost estimation procedures as provided in the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards ( OAQPS ) Control Cost Manual ( EPA, 200 2 ). The specific cost data collected f or this analysis are provided in Attachment 3 to this memorandum. Table 7 presents the best

- estimate average cost for the different types of monitoring equipment based on the data collected. Table 6 also provides the projected supplemental natural gas us e and steam savings projected for the different threshold levels. The steam savings and supplemental natural gas use costs were estimated based on the refinery flare dataset. Flare flow cases not compliant with the specified threshold were first assumed to reduce their steam addition rate in order to meet the combustion zone net heating value. However, many flares have a minimum steam flow rate (to protect the flare tips and to prevent water condensation in the steam lines). Therefore, in some flare flo w cases, steam reductions were constrained by this minimum flow rate and supplemental natural gas was needed to keep the combustion zone net heating value above the specified threshold. The cumulative steam reductions and natural gas additions across all flares was calculated and divided by the number of flares in the analysis to determine an average cost (or credit) per flare

. The natural gas costs and steam savings estimated from the refinery flare dataset are in

- line with those realized b y Marathon upo n upgrading their monitoring equipment and complying with a combustion zone operating limit for their steam assisted flares . Based on data provided by Marathon, supplemental natural gas costs of $52,000/yr/flare were estimated to achieve a
300 Btu/scf NHV cz 

### limit and Marathon realized a steam savings of about $1 50 ,000/yr/flare ( see Attachment 4 ; steam costs for Texas City refinery were not used since there were no cost estimates for 2007 or 2008 ). Based on comparison with Marathon’s estimates , the costs

### Based on the data available from the refinery flare dataset, only a direct analysis of compliance with the combustion zone net heating value requirement could be assessed. In order to comply only with the combustion zone net heating value requirement, only the installation and use of a calorimeter is nece ssary. A total HC analyzer could be used to comply with a combustion zone combustibles concentration and a GC would be needed to determine the lower flammability limit of the gas mixture. While the use of a calorimeter would limit the capital costs, it w ould only provide a demonstration of compliance with the combustion zone net heating value requirement. If a GC is installed, the owner or operator of the flare can determine all three indicators of good combustion and comply with whichever limit requires the least supplemental natural gas addition. In addition to some reductions in natural gas costs, Marathon representatives indicated that gas composition information provided by a GC ha d enable d identification of product leaks into the flare gas system ( see Attachment 5 ) . As a consequence, installation of a GC to determine waste gas composition resulted in additional cost savings due to reduced product

13

### Technical Memorandum

– Petroleum Refinery Sector Rule: Flare Impacts Estimates January 16, 2014

losses. While this savings is highly variable and was not monetized by Marathon, this experience sugge sts that use of a GC rather than a calorimeter may result in additional cost savings . When considering this additional cost savings, the annualized cost of using a GC may be comparable to the annualized cost of using a calorimeter for compliance with the flare monitoring provisions.

Number of Flares Needing New Monitoring Systems

Under Alternative 1, all flares would be required to meet the specified operating limits, but the individual owner or operator would have the choice of whether to install continuo us monitoring systems or to use grab samples and engineering calculation. In Alternative 2, owners or operators of flares would have to install continuous monitoring systems on each flare

. As noted previously, many flares will be required to install flare gas flow meters to comply with the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja . While the subpart Ja requirements apply only to new or modified flares, subpart Ja has a “quick trigger” for mo difications and the EPA projects that all flares will become subject to subpart Ja over the next 5 years. Under subpart Ja,

emergency

- only flares and flares with adequately sized and operated FGRS are not required to install flare gas flow meters; all oth er flares would have flare gas flow meters installed. Therefore, it is assumed under Alternative 1, all flares would already have installed a flare flow monitor. It is further assumed that all flares that were projected to use the alternative monitoring approach of grab samples and engineering calculations under Alternatives 1 would need to install a flare flow meter in order to comply with the requirements in Alternative 2

. Information from ICR Component 1 was used as a means to estimate the number of fl ares that would install monitoring systems rather than using the grab sampling and engineering calculation alternative. ICR respondents could specify whether flare gas was combusted routinely or only during startup, shutdown, or upsets. ICR respondents c ould also specify the types of control used for a given flare, including use of a FGRS. Two options were provided for FGRS: 1) a FGRS is present, but not designed to recover 100 percent of the flare gas during normal operations and 2) a FGRS is present th at is designed to recover 100 percent of the flare gas during normal operations

. Counts for routine and non

- routine flares were provide d previously in Table 3. Table 8 provides additional counts for “routine” flares based on the FGRS designation. All flares that receive routine flow and that do not have a FGRS designed to recover all of the flare gas were assumed to use the continuous monitoring alternative.

### Many flares already have flare gas monitoring systems to comply with s tate or local requirements or to gain process operating information

. N et heating values are commonly determined by compositional analysis, so some flares are expected to already be equipped with a GC

. Data reported in the Refinery ICR were used to determine if calorimeters o r GC monitors were already available for the flare . Flares that ha d an existing flare management plan (FMP) during the time period of the Refinery ICR (circa 2010) were requested to provide information regarding the components of that plan; one of the FMP component options was monitoring the heat content of the flared gas. Thus, for flares that have an FMP, there was a direct indication for a heat content monitor, but only a limited number of flares had an FMP. All flares were required to report the “typical lower heating value of the waste gas.” A sig nificant number of flares reported heating values to the nearest 1 Btu or even fractions of a Btu. A facility that does not have a heat content monitor would be expected to provide a rounded heating value number like “800 Btu/scf” while a flare that has a Btu monitor may report “831 Btu/scf.” Similarly, it is unlikely that a facility that does not have a Btu monitor on their flare would report a value of “810 Btu/scf”; they would generally provide an estimate to the nearest 100 Btu, such as “800 Btu/scf.” Thus, the accuracy to which a respondent reported the “typical” Btu content of the flare gas was used as another indication that heat content monitoring equ ipment is used for that flare.

Table 9 provides a summary of the number of flares expected to use the continuous monitoring option ( i.e. , all routine flares that do not have full

- flare gas recovery) as well as the number of those flares that are expected to already have versus need to install heat content monitors.

### The GHGRP requires flares that have carbon content or heat content monitors on flares to determine their emissions using those monitors using Equation Y

- 1a, Y

- 1b, or Y

- 2 of 40 CFR part 98

, subpart Y. Of 460 flares reporting under subpart Y in the 2011 rep orting year, emissions from 134 flares were reporting using Equation Y

- 1a, Y

- 1b, or Y

- 2. This agrees reasonably well with the estimate of 161 existing monitors as projected from the ICR Component 1 data and presented in Table 8.

All steam

- assisted flares electing to use the continuous monitoring option were assumed to install the steam controls and steam flow monitors and all air

- assisted flares electing to use the continuous monitoring option were assumed to install the air controls ( i.e. , variable fan dr ive blower) and air flow monitors. All flares using the engineering calculation method were assumed to use existing manual assist

- media controls and estimate flow from line pressure, valve positio n, and other process variables.

Nationwide Cost Estimate fo r Flare Control Alternatives

The nationwide cost estimates were determined by multip lying the flare monitoring system cost elements in Table 7 by the number of flares expected to need that monitoring system based upon the flare counts in Table 9 or, in the case of Alternative 2 , the flare counts in included in Table 3. For this analysis, owners or operators of flares were projected to install a calorimeter and comply with the net heating value operating limit . As noted previously, it may be adv antage ou s in some cases to install a GC so that compliance can be determined using any of the alternative operating parameters and to help identify potential product losses. Facilities installing GC systems would have higher initial capital costs but are expected to have similar or lower annualized costs based on historic product recovery credits realized by facilities who have installed continuous GC monitoring systems and potentially lower supplemental natural gas costs (if, for example, the lower flamma bility limit can be met with less supplemental natural gas than the net heating value operating limit)

. Steam reduction credits and natural gas supplementation costs were only assigned to flares electing continuous monitoring; flares using the engineering calculation were assumed to maintain their current steam and natural gas use rates. Table 10 provides a summary of the cost calculations for Control Alterna tive 1 considering all flares at major source refineries

.

### It is expected that flares that elect to use the engineering c alculation method under Alternative 1 will have less opportunity for steam savings as well as less need for supplemental gas. A significant portion of the gas discharged to these flares will be associated with startup, shutdown, or upsets characterized by higher flow rates

, so there would be limited times where steam or natural gas adjustments would be necessary. Under Alternative 2, the “other ” flares ( non-routine flow flares including flares with full FGRS ) are required to install continuous heat conten t or composition monitors. They were also assumed to install steam - or air -assist control and flow monitors, but they were assumed to have half the supplemental natural gas needs as the “routine” flares and also half the steam reduction credits as the “routine” flares

### Table 12 summarizes the control costs associated with the regulatory alternatives considerin g only “Part 63 flares” and considering all flares at major source refineries . As noted previously, the cost for “ Part 63 flares ” is likely to be a lower estimate of the actual costs of the amendments and the costs for all flares is expected to be an upper , but more accurate, estimate. Table 13 provides the VOC cost effectiveness of the control alternatives considering all flares; Table 1 4 provides the HAP cost effectiveness of the control alternatives considering all flares. Because both the emissio n reductions and costs we re estimated on a per flare basis, the cost effectiveness

## Conclusions and Recommendations

• Flares that sometimes operate with high steam assist ratios do not necessarily have high VOC emissions

• Several variables in fluence the potential benefit from monitoring and controlling steam

- assist ratio or CZNHV

o The VOC content of the flare gas

o The annual VOC load

o The VOC load during periods of high steam

- to

- flare gas ratio

o The duration of high steam

- to

- flare gas periods

o The combustion efficiency achieved through current operating practices

• The cost

- effectiveness for adding extensive monitoring and control is very poor for flares with a low potential for significant VOC
emissions reduction

• For some flares, opportunities exist to cost

- effectively reduce VOC emissions. However, most studied flares have no cost effective potential for significant VOC emission reductions through additional monitoring and controls

• The degree to which VOC emissions might be reduced depends upon a fl are’s specific design, service and operation

• Potential cost

- effective VOC reductions are achieved primarily through control of steam

• There is little opportunity to reduce VOC emissions from flares with no or minimal flow or VOC load during normal operatio ns (i.e. flares that only handle startup, shutdown (equipment clearing), malfunction, flares with flare gas recovery, and flares that combust

non

- VOC gases)

• To assure cost

- effective VOC emissions reductions, monitoring and control requirements should be ba sed upon individual flare operations.FINAL

– both under “stand by” and “upset” conditions. .

### Table 1 Generally, the operating scenario information was developed by gathering and averaging similar operating periods from hourly data. Seven companies provided detailed information on 38 steam

of 128 flare operating scenarios. O ne hundred and eight individual flare gas compositions were provided

### Using the submitted data, VOC emissions were es timated based upon two
models:

1) SFR model: 98% CE for SFR < 4 ; 80% CE otherwise 5



### 2) CZ

- NHV model: 98% CE if CZ

- NHV ≥ 300 Btu/scf ; .

90% CE if 300 Btu/scf > CZ

- NHV ≥ 200 Btu/scf ; 80% CE if 200 Btu/scf > CZ

- NHV ≥ 100 Btu/scf ; and

7 0% CE if CZ

- NHV < 100 Btu/scf

T o meet either the SFR or CZ

- NHV target, steam assist first was reduced

. Steam was reduced to as low as the reported minimum steam
manufacturer ’s recommendation. 6



### The VOC emission reduction potential f or a particular flare operating scenario
was then calculated as the difference between the VOC emissions before steam or natural gas rates were adjusted and the VOC emissions assuming a 98% combustion efficiency. Where further reductions in the SFR ratio
or increases in the CZ

- NHV were needed to meet the SFR or CZ

- NHV target

, natural gas was added until the target was achieved

.

T he analysis assumed a n average capital cost of $ 1.0 million per flare for monitoring and controls for the SFR model and $2.3 million per flare for the
CZ

- NHV model

. 7 

### Natural gas was va lued at $0.10 per pound and steam at $1.00 per thousand pounds. Annual maintenance costs associated with the capital investments were taken as 2% of the steam and flare gas control

cost and 5% of the analyzer related investment. 8



### Attachment 2 A capital recovery facto r (CRF) of 0.09439 was used (7% interest rate for 20 years) to annualize capital investments. provides additional detail on the cost effectiveness analysis procedure.

5 This model matches the recommendations in EPA’s Emission Estimation Protocol for Petroleum Refineries , Version 2 and was the basis for flare emission estimates in the recently submitted Refinery Information Collection Request ( ICR).

6 Flare manufacturer recommen dations for minimum steam are intended to protect the mechanical integrity of the flare tip. This may not be the practical minimum steam rate for a specific flare. For instance, flares operating in cold climates may req uire more steam to keep lines hot and to avoid condensation or freezing in the steam lines. If freezing were to occur, then no steam

- assist would be available, leading to a smoky flare.

7 Capital investments: $1 million for instrumentation included flow m eters and control valves required to monitor and control the steam assist for both models and an additional $ 1

. 3 million for other instrumentation, including a BTU or composition analyzer for real

- time CZ

- NHV monitoring for the CZ

- NHV model. N o specific i nvestments for natural gas addition facilities were assumed

8 Analyzer maintenance is typically much more extensive that flow meter and control valve maintenance.FINAL

### Estimates of potential VOC reductions an d the cost effectiveness of potential flare control requirement s are quite sensitive to the assumptions made about combustion efficiency. As such, a sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions in each employed model was performed. The SFR model was

augme nted to consider the impact of varying the SFR ratio to 3 or 5 or reducing the CE assumption from 80% to 70% for SFR ratios above the goal

. Similarly, the sensitivity of the CZ

- NHV model was evaluated by co nsider ing the impact of assuming a CZ

- NHV value o f 200 or 400 B TU /scf to achieve
98% CE and/ or varying the CE assumptions for CZ

- NHV values below the
selected goal. The sensitivity scenarios evaluated are displayed in Table 2

, along with a tabulation of the overall CE for all 38 flares in the context of the
models before and after steam reductions.

Additionally, sensitivity analys e s w ere performed regarding the investment
costs and the price assumptions for natural gas and steam. Select cases

were run at higher and lower investme nts and for higher and l ower natural gas and steam values. 9



## Discussion of Results

Table 3 and Table 4 summarize the cost effectiveness calculated employing
the SFR and CZ

- NHV models, respectively, includ ing sensitivity cases. For
most flares , the SFR or CZ

- NHV goal could be achieved through steam
reductions before the minimum steam rate was reached. 10



### Table 5 Where further
reductions in the SFR ratio or increases in the CZ

- NHV were needed to meet the goal, natur al gas was added. The results of the sensitivity analysis to the cost assumptions are presented in and Table 6 for the SFR and
CZ

- NHV models, respectively.

In evaluating the analysis results, i t is important to recall that the analyzer capital investment is applied for the CZ

- NHV model, even if the goal is met through steam reductions alone

, since the analyzer is needed to determine
the CZ

- NHV value

.

9 Steam values, in particular, are highly variable from site to site and steam can even have zero value if low pressure waste steam is being used as assist gas

. 10 In practice, some flares may smoke before the manufacturer’s recommended minimum steam is reached and thus the calculated steam reductions may not be achievable and additional natur al gas addition may be necessary

.FINAL

### Although costs are the same regardless of the assumed CE values ( SFR or CZ

- NHV model assumptions) , the assumed CE values strongly influence the calculated potential VOC emission reductions and the cost effectiveness of monitoring and controls . However, the trends and relative cost effectiveness
valu es are very informative, as discussed below , and are likely good indicators of the relative impact of the various alternative monitoring and control requirements

. Clearly, and regardless of the model chosen for CE, it
is not cost effective to apply monitor ing and controls to all flares. For all of
the models evaluated, a significant proportion of the 38 flares a lready meet
the SFR and CZ

- NHV goa ls under all operating scenarios. The analyses
herein indicate that 16% or 18% of the flares studied may benefit cost

effectively from establishing SFR 11

24% of the flares co uld cost effectively benefit, requiring the types of monitors and controls evaluated in this study.

## Attachment 2

– Methodology f or Calculating Cost Effectiveness

Step 1: Calculation of Potential Annual VOC Emission Reduction

1. Calculate VOC content for each flare composition using submitted composition

.

2. Calculate VOC rate to the flare for each operating period.

3. Calculate flare combu stion efficiency (CE) for each operating period using basis presented on Page 2 (or alternate for sensitivity analyses)

.

4. Calculate as submitted and “controlled” VOC emissions rate = VOC

rate to flare ∗ (1

- CE) for each operating period.

5. Subtract controlled VOC emission rate from “as submitted” VOC
emission rate.

6. Multip ly emission rate difference for each operating period times hours of operation for that period.

7. Calculate total potential annual VOC emissions reduction by
summation of the differential VOC emi ssions for each operating period.

Step 2: Calculation of Annual Flare Monitoring and Control Cost

1. Total capital costs assumed to be $1.0 MM per flare (Case 1) and $2.3MM per flare (Case 2). CRF: (20 yr., 7%) = 0.09439 used to

annualize.

2. Annual maintenanc e cost assumed to be 5%of investment for analyzer related investment, 2% otherwise.

3. Calculate annual steam savings from reducing steam to meet goal. ($1.00/1000 lb assumed steam price.)

4. Calculate annual natural gas addition required to meet goal where

stea m reductions inadequate. (NG valued at $0.10/lb.)

5. Calculate annual cost = (CRF ∗ total capital cost) + annual

maintenance cost

– annual steam savings + annual supplemental gas

cost

.FINAL
December 7 , 2011

Page 20 

### Step 3 : Calculate cost

- effectiveness for each flare by dividing the annual cost by the annual total VOC reduction

Step 4: Calculate the overall cost effectiveness for all 38 flares by dividing the sum of the annual costs for all 38 flares by the sum of the annual total
VOC reduction.

NOTE: This calculation counts the investment in monitoring and controls for all 38 flares, whether or not a particular flare generates VOC reductions.

ANALYTICAL SYSTEMS STANDARD INSPECTION AND TESTING (cont.)

VIII. STATIC INSPECTION (NO POWER) CUSTOMER SUPPLIED EQUIPMENT

Check for physical damage, proper wiring, and signal polarity.

IX. INSPECTION

The following tests are to ensure that the system is assembled, piped, and wired according to the most recent approved drawings, and to leak test the system.

a. Continuity Test: The QC Representative and the Project Engineer will initial and date the drawings confirming they are the latest revision and are correct for this test.

b. A continuity test will be performed on all wiring to ensure circuit integrity to the point of origin and to the point of termination of each wire.

c. As the test is being performed, the Check

- Out Specialist will trace each end of the wire on the print with a yellow marker. This will indicate that the test is complete for that wire.

d. Piping Test: The QC Representative and the Project Engineer will initial and date the drawing confirming that they are the latest revision and are correct for this test.

e. The Check

- Out Specialist will visually trace all piping and tube runs to confirm proper routing.

f. The Check

- Out Specialist will inspect all equipment to ensure proper installation and compliance with all codes, standards, and specifica tions.

g. Leak Test: The Check

- Out Specialist will test all piping and sample flow paths with instrument air at 30 psig, unless otherwise noted. Precaution will be taken to valve OFF or jump around any device that would be damaged. Then, 30 psig air wi ll be trapped in the system and the supply air will be valved off. A pressure gauge will be observed for ten minutes. Any decrease in pressure will cause the test to fail. Any leaks will be located, repaired and the test will be run again.

h. As the test is being performed, the Check

- Out Specialist will trace the pipe or tube run with a yellow marker. This will indicate that the test is complete for that pipe, tube, or device.

Mr. John Martin,

Page 1My name is Philip Crawford. I am with Eastern Research Group; we are an environmental consulting firm. I contacted Rosemount/Emerson using the online contact information as was provided the screening form (attached) and the ADS Form for GC along with your email address.

I have a client with U.S. EPA who is interested in general cost information for an online/continuous GC system for measuring the composition of refinery vent gas en-route to a flare. My Client doesn't have any specific requirements (such as communication ports/power supply available/etc) other than a hazardous environment (class 1 div 1). The client has, however, provided a typical compositional analysis which I've attached to this email. The client is interested in a typical cost range, such as a minimum to maximum of these types of analyzers. Is this something you might be able to provide, based on the information supplied?

I very much appreciate your time and assistance.

Thank you,

Philip Crawford

Flare Operation and Management Best Practices

Presented at Texas Chemical Council and Association of Chemical Industry of Texas Environmental Health and Safety Seminar. Galveston, Texas. June 4

- 7, 2012.

# Flare Operation and Management Best Practices

John Bigham Technical Services Supervisor Texas City, Texas

# Discussion Topics

• Project Scope

• Operating window



# • Cultural impacts to refinery operations

# Background

• MPC has been working on Flare issue with EPA/DOJ since early 2008 after Region 5 inspections at St. Paul Park and Robinson refineries.

• First Refining company to field performance test an operating flare.

• Significant Investment that applies to all 21 MPC flares

– $52 MM project cost for instruments and controls

– $0.9 MM for flare performance testing at Texas City & Detroit

– $52.9 MM



# • Benefits

– VOC Reductions of ~4700 tpy system

- wide

– 48% reduction in steam usage system

- wide (to date) by operating at minimum


# steam

– Project significant value in recoverable product or raw material loss to flare.

– Use of real Combustion Efficiency Curve for projected VOC emissions from flares, truing up emissions inventory projections with actuals.

# Strive for Balance

Smoke Formation


# Too little steam Good Combustion Efficiency Transparent Flame


# Too much steam Bad Combustion Efficiency

# Typical Flare Control Schematic

# Project Scope

• MPC operates 21 flares across 6 refineries



# • Project Scope includes for each flare:

– Dual channel ultrasonic flow meters with molecular weight analyzer on vent gas

– Siemens Maxim II Gas Chromatograph on vent gas



# – Ultrasonic flow meter for total steam measurement

– Redesign steam delivery system to include a smaller steam control valve



# – Replace minimum steam restriction orifices which may have been oversized

– Globe valve on center steam for better tuning

– Ability to add supplemental natural gas

# Ultrasonic Flow Meter Lessons Learned

• Dual channel specified for low & full flow measurement.

• Special handling of nitrogen necessary

– N2 is not detected by 

# instrument. GC feedback loop installed for adjusted MW & flow

• Significant troubleshooting upon installation

– contracted with a common GE technician across all 6 plants to work out bugs.

Dual Channel

– 4 Ports on Bias 90 & 45 Hot Tap machine installing connections on live line

# New GC Shelter Buildings

• Desired added advantage of source detection by real

time speciation



# • 10

– 12 minute cycle
time

# Supplemental
Gas Addition

# Gas Chromatograph vs BTU Analyzer

• GC was chosen to assist in troubleshooting flare sources



# • Provides additional insight into flare composition

– Identified leakage around emergency dump valves on a hydrogen net gas

compressor.

– Identified leaking safety relief valves on a crude tower.



# – Identified over

- sized restriction orifices on a nitrogen line



# • Measures:

– Inerts

- Hydrogen, Nitrogen, CO2, O2

– Saturates

– Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butanes

– Olefins

– Ethylene, Propylene, Butenes, 1,3 Butadiene, Acetylene



# • Installed on 5

- plants to date

– Typical Composition

– 10% VOC, 25% Methane & Ethane, 65% Hydrogen, Nitrogen & Inerts

# Control Set Up

• Goal is to set up the control scheme to maintain:

– NHVcz > ~300* BTU/scf on a 3

- HR rolling Average &

– S/VG < 2.7 scf/scf on a 1

- HR rolling average.



# • In Practice, using automatic steam control system on flow control

– Set Point determined via trial and error to be indicative of Incipient Smoke Point, but generally between 0.8

– 1.5 scf steam per scf vent gas

– As vent gas increases or decreases, steam flow rate follows in the same
ratio.



# – Moves made by control system minute by minute

* Note: Using dynamic minimum target of a Safety Factor * Lower Flammability Limit of the Vent Gas. This equates to about 300 BTU/scf, but can fluctuate based upon vent gas composition.

# Control Set Up

• Monitoring NHVcz at each update of the GC (10

– 12 minute intervals)

– Add natural gas when approaching 300 BTU/scf NHVcz (or the minimum Lower Flammability Limit (LFL) floor of the vent gas)



# – Moves made by control system minute by minute based upon the last GC reading

# Cultural Lessons

• Years of being taught to operate with no visible emissions have yielded operation with no visible flame

• We’re finding that the cultural change of operating near or at the incipient smoke point is like stopping an addiction.

• Advanced training is being developed to include modules on

– What does incipient smoke point mean,

– Why black soot within the flame itself is not visible emissions,

– Why invisible flares are bad.

# Emissions Inventory

• Common practice was to use 98+% combustion efficiency when 

# estimating VOC emissions regardless of steam rate.

• Once flow indicators came on

- line, we were able to estimate
NHVcv for historical time periods, and correlate that to CE from 

# MPC’s Flare testing.

• Wasn’t uncommon to see historical NHVcz estimates between
125

– 250 BTU/scf or 65

– 96% CE for some flares.

• VOC Emissions = 11 times higher than originally estimated

# Conclusion

• Controlling steam to the flare has both
environmental and economic benefit.

• Understanding what is in our flare headers will make us better operators.

• Cultural changes at the refinery and 

# community level continue to be needed to
understand that invisible flares are worse than


# visible emissions.
