Subject: 1997 8-Hour RACT Analysis for University of Pennsylvania

Introduction:

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that moderate (or worse) ozone nonattainment areas implement reasonably available control technology (RACT) controls on all major sources of VOC and NOx. Philadelphia County is part of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City moderate ozon e nonattainment area for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This document presents the findings of a RACT evaluation for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard for this facility.

Company Description:

The University of Pennsylvania is located at 3451 Wa lnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104. The facility’s air emission sources include nine (9) heat ers and furnaces rated less than 10 MMB TU/hr, 56 emergency generators and two fire pumps. In the past, the facility operated a 2000kW diesel peak shaving generator with a Selective Catalytic Reduction Device, but has been out of service and removed from the facility a few years ago.

Applicability for NOx and VOC RACT:

The University of Pennsylvania is a major source of Nitr ogen Oxides (NOx) having potential NOx emissions greater than 100 tons per year, the major source threshold in Philadelphia County that is applicable to NOx RACT for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

The University of Pennsylvania is not a major source of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) having potential VOC emissions less than 50 tons per year, the major source thre shold in Philadelphia County that is applicable to VOC RACT for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

Process Descriptions:

The facility’s air emission sources contributing to NOx emissions include the following:

 Nine (9) heaters and furnaces rated less than 10 MMBTU/hr each burn natural gas;

 15 emergency generators with capacities ranging betw een 75 kW - 750 kW that each burn natural gas;

 41 emergency generators with capacities ranging be tween 150 kW – 1,750 kW that each burn diesel;

 Two (2) fire pumps with capacities ranging between 150 hp – 187 hp each burn diesel;

Presumptive RACT:

The following sources are covered by presumptive RACT 25 Pa Code 129.93 (c)(1) (heaters & furnaces) or 25 Pa Code 129.93 (c)(5) (fire pumps & emergency generators). For each of the following sour ces, the presumptive RACT emission limitation is the installation, maintenance, and op eration of each source in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications.Heaters & Furnaces
