AMS 12195: Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refin· 

ing and Marketing LLC (PES)-formerly Sunoco, 

Inc.-R&M (3144 Passyunk Avenue Philadelphia, PA 

19145) to replace hourly heat input capacity limits on seven (7) heaters with annual heat input limits and 

install illtra Low-NOx Burners (ULNBs) on two (2) of the 

heaters in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia 

County. The heaters are limited to refinery fuel 'gas with 

individual heat input limits that combine to 730.6 

MMBTUIhr. The proposed annual heat input limits total 

6,806,000 MMBTU per rolling 12-month period. The 

increase in potential emissions in the application due to 

the project are 140.1 tons of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), 23.2 

tons of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), 13.2 tons of 

both Particulate Matter with a diameter of 10 microm· 

eters or less (PMlO) and Particulate Matter with a diameter of 2.5, micrometers or less (PM2,5), 191.6 tons of 

Carbon Monoxide (CO), 7.1 tons of Sulfur Dioxide (S02)' 

and Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) of 255,372 metric tons 

Carbon Dioxide equivalent C02e), all on a rolling 12-

month basis', The plan approval will contain work practice, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting 

requirements to ensure operation within all applicable 

requirements. 

The proposed changes to the following are also intended 

to meet the reasonably available control technology 

(RACT) requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 

1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS): the removal of the MMBTU/hr heat input 

limit for each heater, the addition of M::MBTU heat input 

and NOx emission limits per rolling 12-month period limit 

for each heater, the requirement to burn only refinery 

fuel gas for each heater, and the installation of the 

addition of ULNBs on two heaters. A more detailed 

description and analysis can be found in the Statement of 

Basis. The CAA requires Philadelphia to submit to the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that 

Philadelphia has implemented all necessary Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) controls on all 

major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds 

(VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).!n 2006, Air Management Services (AMS) developed a RACT SIP revision 

demonstrating that it implemented required RAOT con- trols on all relevant stationary sources of VOO and NOx 

emissions and that all RACT plans previously approved 

by EPA under the l~hour ozone NAAQS were applicable 

to represent RACT control levels under the new 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS. The SIP revision relied on the NOx SIP 

Call emissions trading program. On July 10, 2009, the 

D.C. Circuit Court determined that the NOx SIP Call did 

not meet the specific source RAOT requirements as required by the OAA. Accordingly, any air pollution source 

installed prior to. the adoption of the 1997 8-hour Ozone 

NAAQS that was applicable to the NO. SIP Call and did 

not have to install any controls in the original case-bycase RAOT must now conduct a new case-by-case RAeT 

determination to address any changes in technologies 

that occurred since the prior l-hour Ozone NAAQS Was 

adopted and implemented. Therefore, this notice is also 

intended to propose as a revision to the Philadelphia 

portion of the Pennsylvania SIP changes to NOx RACT 

controls for the seven (7) modified heaters in PES. For 

each of these heaters RAOT is determined to be annual 

emission limits, throughput limits, refinery fuel gas burning, and, for two heaters, installation of ULNBs, as 

described above.

this plan approval and SIP revision are available for
