This document provides an overview of appr oved methods, target pollutants and units of measure, and reporting requirements for petroleum re fineries. All recipients must complete and submit test results by August 31, 2011. The document is organized as follows:

1.0 Testing Procedures and Methods 2.0 How to Report Data
3.0 How to Submit Data 4.0 Contact Information for Question s on Test Plan and Reporting



## 1.0 Testing Procedures and Methods

The EPA requires emissions and other test data for several pollutant s, including specific hazardous air pollutants (HAP), cr iteria pollutants, and potential surrogate groups. If EPA is requesting that you complete emissions testing, th e cover letter of this packet (CAA section 114 letter) will include a list of emi ssions sources selected for test ing at your refinery. For each petroleum refinery emissions s ource listed in your Section 114 letter, you must perform an emissions test for some co mbination of pollutants ( i.e. , simultaneous or overlapping measurements per group) and diluents according to the test protocols presented in Sections 1.1 through 1.4 of this section.

Please refer to the ICR website ( https://refineryicr.rti.org ) for additional testing information. Please note that you do not have to submit a test plan to EPA for appr oval prior to testing; however, we recommend that you prepare a test pl an for your own use to assist in the planning and to ensure that you address a ll of the testing and re porting requirements. Please note that you also must report your process and emissions te sting data using the EPA Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT), where applicable. The ERT requires you to report most elements of a test plan. You are directed to the ERT ( http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_tool.html ) for a more complete and interactive description of these test plan elements.

You must follow all of the procedures as spec ified in the test met hods, including the quality assurance and quality control m easures, and document the results in the ERT and in any test report provided to EPA. For this program, you need not obtain audit material s from your state or local agency or from EPA. Y ou may apply any third party aud it materials you have on hand and document the results, but you are not required to do so.

You may have submitted test data for some of these pollutants already. If you have conducted any of the requested groups of tests ( i.e. , any complete set of tests required to be conductedForm Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014



### 2 of 23 simultaneously as described in Footnote 2 to Tabl e 1.1) in the past 5 year s and reported the data in Part IV of this ICR, you are not required to do additional testing for those pollutants.

1.1 Stack Test Methods
The following emissions sources must follow the st ack test method procedur es described in this section:

• Fluid catalytic cracking unit

• Thermal catalytic cracking unit

• Fluid coking unit

• Delayed coking unit

• Catalytic hydrocracking unit

• Hydrogen production unit

• Asphalt blowing still

• Sulfur recovery unit

For process data that you record during testing, make clear, usi ng the Notes section of the ERT or spreadsheet, the correla tion between emissions measur ements and process data ( e.g. , identify Method 23, run 1 for the associated process data on the process data deta ils tab of the ERT).

In addition to the run-by-run process data reco rded during testing, you sh ould also collect and report relevant process da ta that is available from installed process monitors or recordkeeping during a 30-day period that includes the days of emissions testing and fuel analysis. Relevant process data includes parameters such as: tota l heat input; material description, composition, and feed rate; coke burn-off rate; emissions contro l devices in use during the test; control device operating or monitoring parameters (including, as appropriate to the control device, flue gas flow rate, pressure drop, scrubber li quor pH, scrubber liquor flow ra te, sorbent type and sorbent injection rate, primary and secondary voltage and current, temperature) ; process parameters (such as type of crude, oxygen c oncentration, temperature); and a ny pollution prevention or other hazardous air pollutant emission reduction appr oaches being implemented during the test program. You should report the above process data as daily averages in the Process Data section of the Testing Tool; you can download this spreadsheet from the ICR website ( https://refineryicr.rti.org ).

The owner/operator of the petrol eum refinery must certify that th e unit tested was operating in a normal and representative manner during the perf ormance test. The owner/operator must also certify that it operated the pollu tion control equipment, if any, on the unit tested in accordance with manufacturers’ specificat ions and requirements for prope r operation during the emissions testing.

1.1.1 Sample Location and Gas Composition Analysis Methods

You must use U.S. EPA Method 1 of Appendix A-1 to 40 CFR Part 60 to select the locations and number of traverse points for sampli ng for the tests in this section. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method1.html for a copy of the method and guidance information for sampling situations not meeting Method 1 criteria.Form Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014



### 3 of 23 For analysis of flue gas co mposition, including oxygen concen tration, you must use U.S. EPA Method 3A or 3B of Appendix A-2 to 40 CFR Part 60. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3a.html for Method 3A or http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3b.html for Method 3B information.

1.1.2 Emissions Measurement Methods
Table 1.1 summarizes the testing required to be pe rformed for each type of process unit. Where indicated in the tables, you must conduct the tests for the indicat ed pollutants simultaneously for your process unit. If the table does not indi cate simultaneous sampling is required for multiple pollutants, you may still choose to do so. Fo r example, if you are asked to test your fluid catalytic cracking unit, you may c onduct four separate sets of tests, one set that includes all pollutants indicated with an “a”, another set that includes all pollutants ma rked with a “b,” etc., or you may choose to conduct all the testing at the same time (if po ssible). For situations where simultaneous sampling may not be possible due to sampling port or duct diameter constraints, you may conduct series of tests with simultaneous sampling of pollutants indicated by the same letter and number (e.g., test for al l “a1” pollutants for one set of test runs, then test for all “a2” pollutants, and so on). If you have a similar proc ess unit at a different facility that is more amenable to testing, you may request to have the alternative unit tested. Please contact Brenda Shine [see Section 4.0 of this part (Part VIII)] with your recommended solution for approval.

Table 1.2 presents a list of the test methods to use for completing the tests required in Table 1.1. Tables 1.3 through 1.5 provide listings of target analytes for volat ile and semi-volatile organic HAP and aldehyde test methods. Table 1.6 provides a listing of target analytes for C1 through C5 hydrocarbons. For copies of the U.S. EPA test methods, continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) performance sp ecifications, and additional info rmation, please refer to EPA’s Emission Measurement Center website, http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ , and EPA’s Hazardous Waste website, http://www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/t estmethods/sw846/online/index.htm , as appropriate. If you would like to use a method no t on this list, please contact EPA for approval of an alternative method. Please see Section 4.0 of this document fo r a list of persons to contact with questions regarding test methods and reporting.

Report all pollutant emission data as indicated in Table 1.2. Report the results of your emissions tests according to the directions provid ed in Section 2.0 of this enclosure.

Unless otherwise specified, each pollutant emissions te st should consist of at least three test runs for the sampling duration and/or volume indicat ed for each specified unit or operation. You should collect emissions samples for the identifie d pollutants downstream of the last relevant emissions control device ( i.e. , stack or other point representing the composition of the flue gases at the exit to the atmosphere ), unless otherwise indicated.

You must keep the following records for 3 years:

• Documentation that each emissions test was conducted in accordance with the enclosed sampling protocol; and

• The results of each emissions test.Form Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014

2 Target analytes are given in Table 1.3; test runs must occu r during the test runs for speciated semi-volatile organic HAP ( i.e.
,

one volatile organic HAP run conducted per each semi-volatile organic HAP run). Method 0031 allows flexibility in the sample rate and sample time per trap pair to address sampling conditions; e.g. , lower sample rate and total volume collected per trap pair under conditions when less than maximum detecti on ability is needed. Additional trap pairs may be taken ( e.g. , fourth pair) and retained as back/up archive set in case of breakage or other loss.

3 Target analytes are given in Table 1.4; use either SW-846 Method 8270C or 8270D for the analysis of Method 0010 samples.

Follow SW-846 Method 3542 for Method 0010 sample train compone nts extraction and preparation for analyses. This procedure will result in three separate sample fractions for analyses – the front half (filter and front half rinse), the back half (XAD-2 and back half rinse), and condensate (first impinger an d impinger rinse). You may combine the three analytical fractions collected in the Method 0010 sampling train and analyze as one sample. If you choose this option rather than analyzing the fractions separately, you mu st track the various fractional extraction and condensate volumes carefully in orderForm Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014

You may use acetone followed by MeCl for the solvent rinse in lie u of the 50/50 MeCl/MeOH rinse ( i.e. , no liquid/liquid extraction). In addition, the analytical finish for either method should also employ high resolution gas chromatography and either low resolution or high resolution mass spectrometry with selective ion monitoring (SIM) specifically for targeted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

4 Target analytes are given in Table 1.5; test runs must occur during the test runs for speciated volatile and speciated semi-vo latile

organic HAP.

5 Target analytes for C1 through C5 hydrocar bons are given in Table 1.6; test runs must occur during the test runs for speciated volatile and speciated se mi-volatile organic HAP.

6 If a unit has a certified CEMS installed for CO, you may report hourly averages from 30 da ys of CEMS data for the unit in lieu

of conducting a CO stack test (sam e 30 days for which process data are provided). In order to correlate these emissions with other stack test emissions, a portion of the CEMS data s ubmitted should contain the emissions data collected during performance of the other requested stack tests and hourly O 2 concentrations should also be provided, if continuously monitored. The CEMS must meet the requirements of Performance Specification 4 and 40 CFR 60.13 or the CEMS accuracy and ongoing QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart J or Ja. Also provide the data of the most recent CEMS accuracy certification.

and -189)

8 Metals to be tested include antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), beryll ium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), lead (Pb),

manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and selenium (Se). Filterable PM for stacks without entrained water droplets only. Stacks with entrained water droplets should see the “PM/PM 2.5 (filterable plus condensable) from st acks with entrained water droplets”

row.
9 Conduct either the test for PM/PM 2.5 (filterable) from stacks without entrained water droplets or the PM/PM 2.5 (filterable) from

stacks with entrained water droplets (with the TDS and TSS an alysis), whichever is appropr iate for your stack.

10 For stacks with a diameter less than 26.5 inches, PM 2.5 particulate measurements ma y be possible using only a PM 2.5 cyclone,

pitot tube, and in-stack filter. If the blockage exceeds 3 perc ent but is less than 6 percent, you must follow the procedures outlined in Method 1A to conduct tests. If the diameter of the duc t is so small that the blockage is greater than six percent, you may measure PM 2.5 with Methods 5 and 202, with the fi lter temperature at 320°F ± 25°F. If the unit has a wet scrubber, you should analyze the wet scrubber r ecirculation liquid for TSS/TDS.

11 Also report scrubber recirculation liquid flow rate in liters/min.

12 If a unit has a certified CEMS installed for NO X and/or SO 2 , you may report hourly averages from 30 days of CEMS data for

the unit in lieu of conducting a NO X and/or SO 2 stack test. Also provide hourly O 2 concentrations for the 30 days of CEMS data. In order to correlate these emissions with other stack test emissions, a portion of the CEMS data submitted should contain the emissions data collected during performance of th e other requested stack tests. The CEMS must meet the requirements of Performance Specification 2 and 40 CFR 60.13 or the CEMS accura cy and ongoing QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart J or Ja. Al so provide the data of the most recent CEMS accuracy certification.

13 If a unit has a certified CEMS installed fo r TRS, you may report hourly averages from 30 days of CEMS data for the unit in

lieu of conducting a TRS stack test. In order to correlate thes e emissions with other stack te st emissions, a portion of the CEMS data submitted should contain the emi ssions data collected during performance of the other requested stack tests. The CEMS must meet the requirements of Performance Specification 5 and 40 CFR 60.13 or the CEMS accuracy and ongoing QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR part 60, s ubpart J or Ja. Also provide the data of the most recent CEMS accuracy certification.



### NOTE: Special criteria apply fo r simultaneous sampling, sampling run time, and sample volumes for the semi-continuous and batch processes rela ted to the delayed coki ng unit and cyclic and semi-regenerative catalytic reforming units. Sa mpling should be conducte d over the duration of the venting cycle. For vent cycles lasting less th an 6 hours, testing over a vent cycle constitutes a single test run. For venting cycl es shorter than the specified sampling time (or insufficient to allow collection of the required sample volume) , sampling over the duration of the vent cycle shall constitute an acceptable test run (not including c ontinuous catalytic refo rming purge vents). If your delayed coking unit ven ting occurs for less than 20 mi nutes per cycle, you are not required to test. Please docum ent the procedures used and th e venting duration over the most recent 30 day period and submit that documentation in lieu of test reports . For semi-regenerative catalytic reforming units (only one cycle), the an ticipated venting cycle should be divided into three roughly equivalent periods, and testing over each period would constitute a single run so that the three test runs would cover the duration of the entire venting ev ent.

### At present, only the methods shown in Tabl e 2.1 are supported by the ERT. If you conducted testing using a method not currently supported by the ERT, you must report the results of this test in the Refinery Testing Supplement. The Refinery Testing Supplement can be downloaded from the ICR website ( https://refineryicr.rti.org ). You must report the re sults of each test on the appropriately labeled form corresponding to the sp ecific tests requested at your emissions source. If you conducted testing at more than one source at your refinery using methods not currently supported by the ERT, follow the Refinery Tes ting Supplement instructions on the ICR website ( https://refineryicr.rti.org ). After completing the Refinery Testing Supplement, you must also submit an electronic copy of the emissi on test report (PDF format preferred).

As noted in Section 1 of this document, if you ha ve installed a CEMS or CMS on a unit that this ICR asks you to test, you may submit CEMS or CM S data to meet the testing requirement for that specific pollutant.

## 3.0 How to Submit Data

As explained in the previous section, where app licable, you must report your data using the ERT. If the ERT does not support a part icular pollutant or method, you mu st report your data using the data reporting tools we provide. When you are ready to submit your data to EPA, use one of three transmittal ways listed below. In order to avoid duplicate data a nd keep all data for a particular facility together, we request that you su bmit all of the data requested from your facility in the same way. * 

### To submit data not being entered into the ERT:

• Use the ICR website to upload your files. De tailed directions for uploading your files are provided on the ICR website ( https://refineryicr.rti.org ).

• E-mail an electronic copy of all requested files to refineryicr@epa.gov

.
• Mail a CD or DVD containing an electronic copy of all requested files to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter. If no electronic c opy is available, mail a hard copy of all requested files to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter.

* 

### Please Note : If you are submitting Confidential Business Information (CBI), DO NOT use one of the methods listed above to submit your CBI. You must mail a separate CD, DVD, or hard copy package containing only the CBI porti on of your data to the EPA address shown in your Section 114 letter.Form Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014

## Appendix A

Guidance For Calculating And Repo rting Measurements Less Than In-Stack Method Detection Levels For Emissions Data Submitted in Response to Informatio n Collection Request (ICR) Programs
Identify the status of measured values relative to detection levels on the spreadsheet or in the ERT using the following descriptions:

• BDL (below detection level) – a ll analytical values used to calculate and report an instack emissions value are less than the la boratory’s reported de tection level(s);

• DLL (detection level limited) – at least one but not all values used to calculate and report an in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s); or

• ADL (above detection level) – all analytical va lues used to calculate and report an instack emissions value are greater than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s).

For each reported emissions value, insert the appropriate flag (BDL, DLL, or ADL) in the Note line of the Microsoft ® 

### Excel emission test spreadsheet template or in the Comments line of the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT).

When reporting and calculati ng individual test run data:

• For analytical data reported from the lab as “nondetect” or “below detection level”:

− Include a brief description of the procedures used to determine the analytical detection and in-stack detection levels:

o In the Note line of Excel emission test spreadsheet template; or

o In the Comments line of Lab Data tab in the Run Data Details in the ERT

.

− Describe these procedures completely in a separate attachment including the measurements made, the standards used, a nd the statistical procedures applied.

− Calculate in-stack emissions rate for a ny analytical measurement below detection level using the relevant detection level as the “reported” value.

− Report the calculated emissions concentration or rate result:

o As a bracketed “less than ” detection level value ( e.g. , [<0.0105]) in the Excel emission test spreadsheet templa te and include the appropriate flag in the Note line; or

o As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate general flag in the Flag column and as a bracketed “les s than” detection level value ( e.g. , [<0.0105]) followed by a space and any sp ecific flag identifier in the Comments column. The following specific flag identifiers are commonly used by laboratories: B, E, J, Int, R, DPE.

− Report as numerical values ( i.e. , no brackets or < symbol) any analytical data measured above the detection level, in cluding any data between the analytical detection level and a laboratory-specifi c reporting or quant ification level ( i.e. , flag as ADL).

− Apply these reporting and calculation pro cedures to measurements made with Method 23 :Form Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014



### 22 of 23 o Report data in the Excel emission test spreadsheet template for each of the D/F congeners measured with Meth od 23 below the detection level as [< detection level]

o Do not report emissions as zero as described in the method

• For pollutant measurements composed of multiple components or fractions ( e.g. , Hg and other metals sampling trains) when the re sult for the value for any component is measured below the analytical detection level;

− Calculate in-stack emissions rate or c oncentrations as outlined above for each component or fraction;

− Sum the measured and detection level values as outlined above using the in-stack emissions rate or concentrations for all of the components or fractions; and

− Report the sum of all components or fractions:

o As a bracketed “less than ” detection level value ( e.g. , [<0.0105]) in the Excel emission test spreadsheet templa te and include the appropriate flag in the Note line; or

o As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate flag in the Comments line.

− Report also the individual component or fr action values for each run if the Excel emission test spreadsheet template or ERT format allows; if not ( i.e. , the format allows reporting only a single sum value):

o For the Excel emission test spreadsheet template, next to the sum reported as above, report in the Notes line the appropriate flag along with the values for the measured or detection level value for each component or fraction as used in the calculations ( e.g. , 0.036, [<0.069], 1.239, [<0.945] for a four fraction sample)

o For the ERT , next to the sum reported as above, report in the Flag column the appropriate genera l flag and in the Comments column the measured or detection level value for each compon ent or fraction as used in the calculations followed by a space and any specific flag identifier provided by the laboratory ( e.g. , 0.036, [<0.069] J, 1.239, [<0.945] B for a four fraction sample).

• For measurements conducted using instrumental test methods ( e.g. , Methods 3A, 6C, 7E, 10, 25A)

− Record gaseous concentration values as measured including negative values and flag as ADL; do not report as BDL

− Calculate and report in-stack emissions rates using these measured values

− Include relevant informati on relative to calibration gas values or other technical qualifiers for measured values in Comments line in the ERT

• When reporting and calculating average emissions rate or concentration for a test when some results are reported as BDL

− Sum all of the test run values includ ing those indicated as BDL or DLL as reported values

− Calculate the average emissions rate or concentration ( e.g. , divide the sum by 3 for a three-run test)Form Approved 03/28/2011 OMB Control No. 2060-0657 Approval Expires 03/31/2014
