SUBJECT: Analysis of Emissions Reduction Techniques for Equipment Leaks 

1. Purpose

This memorandum documents a general review and analysis of emissions reduction techniques 

for equipment leaks. It reviews control alternatives and estimates the costs and environmental 

impacts for the alternatives identified. 

2. Legislative Background

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to review 

promulgated standards periodically to ensure new source performance standards (NSPS) and 

national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) reflect advances in 

emissions reduction technology. Specifically, Section 112(d)(6) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

states that “[t]he Administrator shall review, and revise as necessary (taking into account 

developments in practices, processes, and control technologies), emission standards promulgated 

under this section no less often than every 8 years.” Similarly, Section 111(b)(1)(B) requires 

EPA to review NSPS for a given source category every 8 years, and, if appropriate, revise such 

standards. To facilitate these required reviews, EPA is evaluating key emission sources that exist 

across several source categories to provide a consistent framework for regulating emissions from 

these sources. This memorandum provides information that may be considered in the course of 

conducting a technology review for equipment leak emissions from a specific source category in 

the future. 

3. Introduction

Equipment leak standards are designed to reduce or eliminate emissions of volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs), volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAPs), and organic hazardous air 

pollutants (HAPs) from piping and equipment found in various manufacturing processes. Many 

federal regulations have been written to minimize air emissions from equipment leaks. Currently, 

most equipment leaks are defined within regulations primarily on the basis of a detection 

instrument that reads the airborne concentration of volatile organic carbons at a potential leak 

point on a parts per million (ppm) basis or on the basis of visual observation of certain types of 

equipment. Generally, if the leak exceeds the threshold, or leak definition, of the applicable

regulation, repair of the leaking equipment is required. This memorandum considers methods to 

reduce emissions from equipment leaks and analyzes the impacts associated with these methods 

(EPA, 1998). 

4. Description of Emission Releases

Emissions from equipment leaks occur in the form of gases or liquids that escape to the 

atmosphere through many types of connection points (e.g., flanges, threaded fittings) or through 

the moving parts of valves, pumps, compressors, pressure relief devices, and certain types of 

process equipment (EPA, 1998). 

Pumps 

Pumps are used extensively in chemical manufacturing facilities for moving fluids. The most 

widely used pump is the centrifugal pump. Other types of pumps include positive-displacement, 

reciprocating and rotary action, and special canned-motor and diaphragm pumps. Chemicals 

transferred by pumps can leak at the point of contact between the moving shaft and stationary 

casing. To isolate the pump’s interior from the atmosphere, all pumps, except the sealless type 

(canned-motor and diaphragm), require a seal at the point where the shaft penetrates the housing. 

The most commonly used seals in these pumps are packed and mechanical. However, no seal 

system is perfect, and many pumps are equipped with a closed-vent system. 

Compressors 

Centrifugal, reciprocating, and rotary compressors are used in chemical manufacturing facilities. 

The centrifugal compressor uses a rotating element or series of elements containing curved 

blades to increase the pressure of a gas by centrifugal force. Reciprocating and rotary 

compressors increase pressure by confining the gas in a cavity and progressively decreasing the 

volume of the cavity. Reciprocating compressors usually use a piston and cylinder arrangement, 

while rotary compressors use rotating elements such as lobed impellers or sliding vanes. 

As with pumps, seals are required to prevent leakage from compressors. Rotary shaft seals for 

compressors may be labyrinth, restrictive carbon rings, mechanical contact, or liquid film. All of 

these seals are leak restriction devices, but none of them completely eliminate leakage. To 

respond to leakage, many compressors are equipped with ports in the seal area that evacuate 

collected gases to a control device. 

Pressure Relief Devices 

Engineering codes require the use of pressure-relieving devices or systems in applications where 

the process pressure may exceed the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessel. The 

pressure relief valve is the most common type of pressure-relieving device used. Typically, relief 

valves are spring-loaded and designed to open when the system pressure exceeds a set pressure, 

allowing the release of vapors or liquids until the system pressure is reduced to its normal 

operating level. When the normal pressure is re-attained, the valve reseats and a seal is again 

formed. The seal is a disc on a seat, and a leak through this seal is a potential source of fugitive 

VOC and HAP emissions. The potential causes of leakage from relief valves are improper

reseating of the valve after a relieving operation (which occurs when the system pressure comes 

close to the set pressure of the valve); and corrosion or degradation of the valve seat. Some 

pressure relief devices can be vented to a closed vent system for emissions control. 

Rupture discs also may be used to relieve pressure in process units. These discs are made of a 

material that ruptures when a set pressure is exceeded, thus allowing the system to depressurize. 

The advantage of a ruptured disc is that the disc seals tightly and does not allow any emissions to 

escape from the system during normal operations. When the disc ruptures, however, the system 

will depressurize until atmospheric conditions are obtained (and then remain open to the 

atmosphere until the disk is replaced), unless the disc is used with a pressure relief valve. 

Sampling Connections 

Process unit operations are checked periodically by routine analysis of feedstocks and products. 

To obtain representative samples for these analyses, sampling lines first must be purged. If the 

flushed fluid is a liquid, it could be drained onto the ground or into a process drain where it 

would evaporate and release emissions to the atmosphere. Gas streams could be purged directly 

to the atmosphere. Closed-loop sampling systems control the purged process fluid by returning it 

directly to the process line, collecting and recycling the fluid, or transporting the fluid to a 

control device. 

Open-ended Lines 

Some valves are installed in a system to function with downstream lines open to the atmosphere. 

Open-ended lines, which are used mainly in intermittent service for sampling and venting, 

include purge, drain, and sampling lines. Some open-ended lines are needed to preserve product 

purity. Normally, these are installed between multi-use product lines to prevent products from 

collecting in cross-tie lines during valveseat leakage. A faulty valve seat or incompletely closed 

valve would result in leakage through the valve, releasing emissions to the atmosphere. As 

described in section 5, a cap, plug, blind flange, or secondary valve is used at the end of the 

open-ended line to prevent those emissions from reaching the atmosphere. 

Process Valves 

One of the most common types of equipment included in an equipment leak detection and repair 

program is the process valve. Commonly used types are control, globe, gate, plug, ball, relief, 

and check valves. All except the relief valve and check valve are activated through a valve stem, 

which may have either a rotational or linear motion, depending on the design. The valve stem 

requires a seal to isolate the process fluid inside the valve from the atmosphere. The possibility 

of a leak through this seal makes it a potential source of fugitive emissions. A check valve 

typically is not a potential source of fugitive emissions because it has no stem or packing gland; 

however, some check valves have a hinge that penetrates the valve housing, which is a potential 

source of fugitive emissions. 

The stem can be sealed to prevent leakage by using a packing gland or O-ring seals. Valves that 

require the stem to move in and out with or without rotation must use a packing gland. 

Conventional packing glands are suited for a wide variety of packing material. Packing materials 
Technical Memorandum – Analysis of Emissions Reduction Techniques for Equipment Leaks 

December 21, 2011 

4 

include graphite, graphite-impregnated fibers, and tetrafluorethylene polymer. The packing 

material used depends on the valve application and configuration. These conventional packing 

glands can be used over a range of operating temperatures, but at high pressures, these glands 

must be tight to obtain a good seal. 

Elastomeric O-rings also are used for sealing process valves. These O-rings provide good 

sealing, but are not suitable if sliding motion occurs through the packing gland. These seals are 

used rarely in high pressure service, and operating temperatures are limited by the seal material. 

Bellows seals are generally thought to be more effective for preventing process fluid leaks than 

the conventional packing gland or other gland-seal arrangement. This type of seal incorporates 

formed metal bellows that makes a barrier between the disc and body bonnet joint. The bellows 

are the weak point of this type of system, and service life can be quite variable. Consequently, 

this type of seal normally is backed up with a conventional packing gland and often is fitted with 

a leak detector in case of failure. 

A diaphragm may be used to isolate the working parts of the valve and the environment from the 

process liquid. The diaphragm also may be used to control the flow of the process fluid. In this 

design, a compressor pushes the diaphragm toward the valve bottom, throttling the flow. The 

diaphragm and compressor are connected in a manner so that separating them is impossible 

under normal working conditions. When the diaphragm reaches the valve bottom, it seats firmly 

against the bottom, forming a leak-proof seal. This configuration is recommended for fluids 

containing solid particles and for medium-pressure service. Depending on the diaphragm 

material, this type of valve can be used at temperatures up to 205°C and in severe acid solutions. 

If the seal fails, however, a valve using a diaphragm seal can become a source of leaks. 

Flanges and Other Connectors 

Flanges are bolted, gasket-sealed junctions used wherever pipes or other components or 

equipment (such as vessels, pumps, valves, and heat exchangers) may require isolation or 

removal. Connectors are all other nonwelded fittings that serve a similar purpose to flanges, 

which also allow bends in pipes (elbows), joining two pipes (couplings), or joining three or four 

pipes (tees or crosses). Connectors typically are threaded. 

Flanges may become fugitive emissions sources when leakage occurs because of improperly 

chosen gaskets or poorly assembled flanges. The primary cause of flange leakage is thermal 

stress, which causes deformation of the seal between the flange faces. Threaded connectors may 

leak if the threads become damaged or corroded or if tightened without sufficient lubrication or 

torque (EPA Office of Compliance Chemical, Commercial Services, and Municipal Division, 

1998). 

Agitators 

Agitators are used to stir or blend chemicals. Like pumps and compressors, agitators may leak 

organic chemicals at the point where the shaft penetrates the casing. Consequently, seals are 

required to minimize fugitive emissions. Four seal arrangements commonly are used with 
Technical Memorandum – Analysis of Emissions Reduction Techniques for Equipment Leaks 

December 21, 2011

agitators: compression packing (packed seal), mechanical seals, hydraulic seals, and lip seals. 

Packed seals for agitators are very similar in design and application to packed seals for pumps. 

Although mechanical seals are more costly than the other three types of seals, they offer a greatly 

reduced leakage rate to offset their higher cost. Furthermore, the maintenance frequency of 

mechanical seals is one-half to one-fourth that of packed seals. At pressures greater than 1,140 

kPa (150 psig), the leakage rate and maintenance frequency are so superior that the use of packed 

seals on agitators is rare. As with packed seals, the mechanical seals for agitators are similar in 

design and application to the mechanical seals for pumps. 

Instrumentation Systems 

Instrumentation systems consist of smaller pipes and tubing that carry samples of process fluids 

to be analyzed to determine process operating conditions or to systems for measurement of 

process operating conditions (e.g., composition, pressure, flow, etc.). Valves and connectors are 

the predominant type of equipment used in instrumentation systems; however, other types of 

equipment may also be included in these systems. These components are generally the source of 

leaks from instrumentation systems as well as fluid that is vented or discharged from the 

analyzer or bypass lines. 

Closed-Vent Systems 

A closed-vent system can be used to collect and convey gaseous emissions from seal oil 

degassing vents, pump and compressor seal leakage, relief valve leakage, and relief valve 

discharges because of over-pressure operation. A process or portion of a process also can be 

enclosed, and the enclosure can be vented through a closed vent system. A closed-vent system 

consists of piping; equipment such as connectors, open-ended lines, and valves; flame arrestors, 

and, if necessary, flow-inducing devices. Closed-vent systems are designed and operated to 

convey emissions to a control device. However, just like in process lines, equipment in a closed 

vent system is a potential source of emissions due to leaks. 

5. Identification of Control Options for Equipment Leaks

There are two primary techniques for reducing equipment leak emissions: (1) modifying or 

replacing existing equipment, and (2) implementing a leak detection and repair (LDAR) 

program. Modifying or replacing existing equipment is referred to as an “equipment 

modification.” Controlling emissions by equipment modification is achieved by either installing 

additional equipment that eliminates or reduces emissions, or replacing existing equipment with 

sealless types. An LDAR program is a structured program to detect and repair equipment that is 

identified as leaking (U.S. EPA Office of Air Quaility Planning and Standards, 1995). 

Equipment Modification Control Alternatives 

For each equipment type there are one or more equipment modifications that can be implemented 

for emissions control. This section reviews the modification alternatives for different equipment 

leak types.

Pumps 

Equipment modifications for pumps include routing leaking vapors through a closed-vent system 

to control or replacing the existing pump with a new pump that is designed with dual mechanical 

seals or is a sealless type. 

A pump with dual mechanical seals contains two seals between which a barrier fluid is 

circulated. Depending on the design of the dual mechanical seals, the barrier fluid can be 

maintained at a pressure that is higher than the pumped fluid or at a pressure that is lower than 

the pumped fluid. If the barrier fluid is maintained at a higher pressure than the pumped fluid, the 

pumped fluid will not leak to the atmosphere. The control efficiency of dual mechanical seals 

with a barrier fluid at a higher pressure than the pumped fluid is essentially 100 percent, 

assuming both the inner and outer seal do not fail simultaneously. If the barrier fluid is 

maintained at a lower pressure than the pumped fluid, a leak in the inner seal would result in the 

pumped fluid entering the barrier fluid. To prevent emissions of the pumped fluid to the 

atmosphere, a barrier fluid reservoir system should be used. At the reservoir, the pumped fluid 

can vaporize (i.e., de-gas) and then be collected by a closed-vent system. 

The actual emissions reduction achievable through use of dual mechanical seals depends on the 

frequency of seal failure. Failure of both the inner and outer seals could result in relatively large 

releases of the process fluid. Pressure monitoring of the barrier fluid may be used to detect 

failure of the seals, allowing for a quick response to a failure. 

Sealless pumps, when operating properly, will not leak because the process fluid cannot escape 

to the atmosphere. Sealless pumps are used primarily in processes where the pumped fluid is 

hazardous, highly toxic, or very expensive, and where every effort must be made to prevent all 

possible leakage of the fluid. Under proper operating conditions, the control efficiency of 

sealless pumps is essentially 100 percent; however, if a catastrophic failure of a sealless pump 

occurs, there is a potential for a large quantity of emissions. 

Compressors 

Emissions from compressors may be reduced by collecting and controlling the emissions from 

the seal or by improving seal performance. Shaft seals for compressors are of several different 

types--all of which restrict but do not eliminate leakage. In some cases, compressors can be 

equipped with ports in the seal area to evacuate collected gases using a closed-vent system. 

Additionally, for some compressor seal types, emissions can be controlled by using a barrier 

fluid in a similar manner as described for pumps. 

Pressure Relief Valves 

Equipment leaks from pressure relief valves (PRVs) occur as a result of improper reseating of 

the valve after a release, or if the process is operating too close to the set pressure of the PRV 

and the PRV does not maintain its seal. Emissions occurring from PRVs as a result of an 

overpressure discharge are not considered to be equipment leak emissions. There are two 

primary alternatives for controlling equipment leaks from pressure relief devices: use of a 

rupture disk (RD) in conjunction with the PRV, or use of a closed-vent system. The control 
Technical Memorandum – Analysis of Emissions Reduction Techniques for Equipment Leaks

7 

efficiency of the RD/PRV combination is assumed to be 100 percent when operated and 

maintained properly. 

A closed-vent system can be used to transport equipment leaks from a PRV to a control device. 

However, the equipment leak control efficiency for a closed-vent system installed on a PRV may 

not be as high as the control efficiency that can be achieved by installing a closed-vent system on 

other equipment types. This is due to the difficulty of designing an efficient control device that 

can handle both high and low flow emissions since emissions from pressure relief devices can be 

either high during an overpressure incident or low when associated with equipment leaks. 

Valves 

Emissions from process valves can be eliminated if the valve stem can be isolated from the 

process fluid. Two types of sealless valves are available: diaphragm valves and sealed bellows 

valves. The control efficiency of both diaphragm and sealed bellows valves is virtually 100 

percent. However, a failure of these types of valves has the potential to cause temporary 

emissions much larger than those from other types of valves. 

Connectors 

In cases where connectors are not required for safety, maintenance, process modification, or 

periodic equipment removal, emissions can be eliminated by welding the connectors together. 

Open-Ended Lines 

Emissions from open-ended lines can be controlled by properly installing a cap, plug, or second 

valve to the open end. If a second valve is installed, the upstream valve should always be closed 

first after use of the valves to prevent the trapping of fluids between the valves. Capping an 

open-ended line has the potential to achieve nearly 100 percent control. However, monitoring 

has shown that capped open-ended lines often leak due to improper installation. 

Sampling Connections 

Emissions from sampling connections occur as a result of purging the sampling line to obtain a 

representative sample of the process fluid. Emissions from sampling connections can be reduced 

by using a closed-loop sampling system or by collecting the purged process fluid and transferring 

it to a control device, back to the process, or for liquids, to a hazardous waste or other type of 

treatment unit. The closed-loop sampling system is designed to return the purged fluid to the 

process at a point of lower pressure. A throttle valve or other device is used to induce the 

pressure drop across the sample loop. The efficiency of a closed-loop system is assumed to be 

100 percent. Alternatively, in some cases, sampling connections can be designed to collect 

samples without purging the line. If such a sampling connection is installed and no emissions to 

the atmosphere occur when a sample is collected, then the control efficiency can be assumed to 

be 100 percent (U.S. EPA Office of Air Quaility Planning and Standards, 1995). 

Instrumentation Systems 

Emissions from the connectors, valves, and other equipment in instrumentation systems can be 

controlled using the same techniques described above for such equipment in process lines. 
Technical Memorandum – Analysis of Emissions Reduction Techniques for Equipment Leaks 

December 21, 2011 

8 

Emissions of material that is purged from the system can be controlled using the same types of 

techniques as described above for sampling connections. 

Agitators 

Agitators are used to stir or blend chemicals. Like pumps and compressors, agitators may leak 

organic chemicals at the point where the shaft penetrates the casing. Consequently, seals are 

required to minimize fugitive emissions. Four seal arrangements commonly are used with 

agitators: compression packing (packed seal), mechanical seals, hydraulic seals, and lip seals. 

Packed seals for agitators are very similar in design and application to packed seals for pumps. 

Leak Detection and Repair Program 

An LDAR program is designed to identify pieces of equipment that are emitting sufficient 

amounts of material to warrant reduction of the emissions through repair. Leak detection 

methods can include sensory inspections (i.e., indications of leaks based on sight, sound, or 

smell) or monitoring with portable organic vapor analyzers in accordance with Method 21. 

Typically, Method 21 has been used to monitor equipment in gas/vapor service and equipment in 

contact with relatively volatile liquids. Sensory inspections are generally used for equipment in 

contact with less volatile liquids (i.e., “heavy” liquid service). These programs are best applied to 

equipment types that can be repaired on-line, resulting in immediate emissions reduction, and/or 

to equipment types for which equipment modifications are not feasible. An LDAR program is 

best suited to valves and pumps, and can also be implemented for agitators and connectors. 

For other equipment types, an LDAR program is not as applicable. Compressors are repaired in a 

manner similar to pumps; however, because compressors ordinarily do not have a spare for 

bypass, a process unit shutdown may be required for repair. Compressors are typically controlled 

by seal systems that include a barrier fluid system. Historically, open-ended lines have been 

controlled solely by equipment modifications (because the modification is expected to achieve 

100 percent emissions reduction). Emissions from sampling connections can only be reduced by 

changing the method of collecting the sample (since, by definition, equipment leak emissions are 

the material purged from the line), and cannot be reduced by an LDAR program. Safety 

considerations may preclude the use of an LDAR program on pressure relief valves. 

Many studies have been performed to estimate the control effectiveness of a given LDAR 

program for light liquid pumps, gas valves, light liquid valves, and connectors. The control 

effectiveness is based on the relationship between the percentage of equipment pieces that are 

leaking and the corresponding average leak emission rate for all of the equipment. The main 

factors in determining the control effectiveness are: (1) how a “leak” is defined, (2) the leak 

frequency before the LDAR program is implemented, and (3) the final leak frequency after the 

LDAR program is implemented. The leak definition (or action level) for a piece of equipment is 

the screening value at which a “leak” is indicated if the instrument reading is equal to or greater 

than that value. The leak frequency is the fraction of equipment with screening values equal to or 

greater than the leak definition (EPA, 1995).

New Control Technologies 

No entirely new developments in methods for controlling equipment leak emissions were found. 

However, variations and advancements in existing technologies and practices that are not 

currently required in existing EPA rules have been identified and are listed as follows. 

• Optical gas imaging – Optical gas imaging devices offer the ability to monitor equipment 

from a distance and identify leaks (of a sufficient mass) from equipment within the line 

of sight of the optical imager (Environ International Corporation, 2003). 

• “Low leak” packings – Packing combinations for valves and gaskets for flanges that 

significantly reduce emissions are in place in some facilities, particularly refineries. 

Facilities and packing manufacturers have created emission testing protocols for packings 

in order to study and test their effectiveness. One of these studies, performed by two 

packing manufacturers, revealed that “[s]everal aspects of valve design; including 

tolerances, surface finish, stem straightness and the overall alignment of the stem, stem 

nut and stuffing box were found to be contributing factors to either the failure and/or 

success of a particular stem packing to meet the emission requirements.” These studies 

have lead to advancements such as packing consisting of braided carbon filament end 

rings that encapsulate an Inconel wire mesh with three molded flexible graphite center 

rings (Cornelsen, 2006). 

Some packing manufacturers have begun marketing packings as “low-leak” packing and 

providing performance guarantees. Companies have also developed in-house testing 

programs to ensure that packings are suitable for site-specific applications and to evaluate 

the performance of different materials (Reeves, 2011). 

• Monitoring of new equipment – Some local governments require monitoring on types 

equipment that have not been monitored in the past. In some cases, this is based on data 

collected since LDAR programs where first designed and implemented. For example, 

inspection agencies have conducted monitoring of open ended valves and lines (OELs) at 

numerous facilities and found OELs that are leaking due to improper installation of the 

plugs and other control equipment (Wilwerding 2007, Loukeris 2006). Monitoring on 

atmospheric PRVs for releases and leaks is also required by some local governments 

(Douglas, 2005). 

The South Coast Air Management Quality District (SCAQMD) requires continuous 

monitoring of a percentage of atmospheric PRDs at refineries by installing a monitoring 

device capable of recording the duration of each release and quantifying emissions. 

Wireless technology allows continuous monitoring of PRDs and makes it easy for 

operators to identify releases and leaks. There are several monitoring devices that can be 

used, including acoustic sensors and pressure/differential pressure sensors. These sensor 

units communicate with a base radio that interfaces with the existing control system 

(Ellis, 2007).

6. Summary of Control Options Analyzed 

For the purposes of this memorandum, the baseline control option is a combination of leak 

detection and repair (LDAR) program elements, equipment design standards, and performance 

standards which were based on a review of the requirements and applicability of existing 

regulations, including federal, state, and local rules. The baseline leak detection and repair 

program is equivalent to the requirements in the National Emission Standards for Equipment 

Leaks--Control Level 1 (40 CFR part 63, subpart TT) and Standards of Performance for 

Equipment Leaks of VOC in the Synthetic Organic Compound Manufacturing Industry for 

which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced After January 5, 1981 but 

Before November 7, 2006 (40 CFR part 60, subpart VV) and represents the least stringent set of 

requirements that apply to facilities that are currently subject to equipment leaks standards. Thus, 

it is also considered to be the least stringent alternative for a process unit or facility that is 

currently not subject to standards. Table 1 summarizes the requirements of the baseline for all 

equipment.

In addition, this memorandum also analyzes several alternative means of compliance. From the 

baseline, independent alternatives for each component type were developed and are summarized 

in Table 2. This approach provides the ability to analyze the incremental costs and cost 

effectiveness of each alternative individually, while still distributing costs of certain activities 

(such as the use of a monitoring instrument or a database) that apply to, or can be used for, more 

than one type of equipment. Furthermore, many of these alternatives match current regulatory 

requirements for facilities subject to certain existing rules; these alternatives thus can also serve 

as the baseline in analyses of nationwide impacts of regulatory alternatives for source-category 

specific rules that reference the Uniform Standards. 

Table 2. Summary of Equipment Leak Requirement Options 

Alternative Options Additional Requirements 

Valve Option 1 Lowers leak definition of Valves G/LL to 500 ppm 

Valve Option 2 Lowers leak definition of Valves G/LL to 100 ppm

Pumps Option 2 Lowers leak definition of Pumps LL to 500 ppm 

Connectors Option 1 Adds instrument monitoring for Connectors G/LL at 500 ppm

 Note that the regulatory leak definition for pumps is 2,000 ppm; however, data collected at a leak definition of 1,000 

ppm were often used in this analysis to represent pumps with a leak definition of 2,000 ppm. 

Additional Requirements for Open Ended Lines and Pressure Relief Devices 

In addition to the requirements in Table 2, this memorandum also analyses the incremental cost 

of conducting annual instrument monitoring to demonstrate that the open-ended valve or line 

operates with an instrument reading of less than 500 ppm above background (i.e., that the cap, 

blind flange, plug, or second valve seals the open-ended valve or line at all times). It was 

assumed that the annual monitoring would not provide any additional emissions reductions since 

the baseline requires OELs to be capped, but would result in additional monitoring and repair 

costs. The costs of annual monitoring, including repair of any leaks found, are included in 

Section 8. 

The impacts associated with wireless monitoring for PRDs were also analyzed in this 

memorandum. It was assumed that no additional emissions reductions would occur from this 

requirement, but it would result in additional capital costs. Wireless monitoring costs are 

included in Section 8. 

7. Impact Analysis

Model Facilities 

To calculate cost estimates and emissions reductions for potential equipment leak requirements, 

model plants were developed to represent equipment counts found at different types of chemical 

and refining facilities. Six models were created, three to represent chemical manufacturing 

process units and three to represent petroleum refineries. These models allowed for the

consideration of the costs and emissions reduction impacts for processes of various sizes in 

multiple industries. The six models are summarized in Table 3.

Models 1-3 represent a range of chemical manufacturing process units and are based on the 

models used in the Final Impacts Analysis for Regulatory Options for Equipment Leaks of VOC 

in the SOCMI (Parrish, 2007). These equipment counts encompassed a large range of individual 

process units at chemical manufacturing facilities. However, a facility with numerous process 

units could have many times more pieces of equipment than Model 3. Focus was placed on small 

facilities since that size range is where the impacts are most likely to be more burdensome. When 

impacts for Model 3 are reasonable, we can be certain that they will also be reasonable for larger 

facilities. 

Models 4-6 represent different size refineries, from a simple topping refinery to a complex 

refinery. The equipment counts presented for small and large refineries in Locating and 

Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Benzene (EPA, 1998) were used to estimate the 

number of pieces of equipment in each type of refinery process unit. Model 4, the topping

refinery, was assumed to consist of one crude distillation unit. Except for PRV, the equipment 

counts for that model are equal to the counts for a crude distillation unit at a small refinery in 

Locating and Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Benzene (EPA, 1998). The PRV counts 

were estimated based on a summary of data collected through EPA’s Petroleum Refinery 

Information Collection Request (ICR) (EPA, 2011). 

Models 5 and 6 were developed using information from the U.S. Energy Information 

Administration (EIA) on the number of refineries in the U.S., their capacities, and the types of 

processes at each (U.S. DOE, 2011). The EIA report includes production capacity of facilities in 

barrels per day (bbl/d) and the downstream charge capacity of each plant divided into process 

type (vacuum distillation, delayed coking, fluid coking, visbreaking, and other processes). Since 

Locating and Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Benzene defines the “large model 

refinery” as a refinery with a crude charge capacity greater than 50,000 barrels per stream day, 

refineries were classified as “large” or “small” based on the capacity in the EIA report. The 

number of each type of process at an average “small” refinery and an average “large” refinery 

was estimated based on the data in the EIA report. For example, the EIA report included 40 

“small” refineries, 24 of which reported vacuum distillation capacity. Therefore, it was assumed 

for purposes of developing a small refinery model that an average small refinery has 0.6 vacuum 

distillation units. Finally, the number of each type of process was multiplied by the appropriate 

equipment counts in Locating and Estimating Air Emissions from Sources of Benzene, and the 

results were summed for each type of equipment except for PRV. The PRV counts were 

estimated based on a summary of data from the Petroleum Refinery ICR. References for model 

facilities are included in attachment 1. 

The goal was to develop models as representative of the potential affected sources as possible so 

that the model plants can be used in the future to develop source category-specific nationwide 

impact estimates in an efficient manner. There are process units and facilities larger than the 

largest model; however, these models are intended to cover a range of sizes representing a 

majority of the potential affected facilities. In addition, the options considered for the Uniform 

Standards that are affected by economies of scale will have a greater impact on smaller processes 

than larger processes. These models can be adjusted as needed based on data for a specific 

source category or industry to represent that source category or industry more accurately. 

Leak Frequencies 

Leak frequency refers to the estimated percentage of equipment that will be found leaking at a 

given leak definition. Leak frequencies were used to calculate both cost and emission estimates 

and are included in Table 4 and 5. Leak frequencies were estimated using several sources 

including the Protocol for Equipment Leak Emissions Estimates and industry data. Attachment 2 

includes the basis for the leak frequencies in Tables 4 and 5. Detailed information on how leak 

frequencies were used in cost and emission estimates is included in the following sections.

 U.S. EPA National Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) data on leak frequencies for valves at refineries 

suggest the actual percentage leaking may be higher. In order to account for this, it was estimated that the actual 

percentage leaking is 1.7 times higher than typically measured leak frequencies. This factor represents the 10th 

percentile of the data set (i.e., 90 percent of the NEIC leak frequencies were at least 1.7 times higher than the leak 

frequencies reported by the refineries) and was used determining leak frequencies (Parrish et al., 2007).

Emission Reductions 

In order to calculate the emissions reductions that result from the baseline requirements, we first 

had to estimate uncontrolled emissions. Once the emissions reductions of the baseline were 

found, the incremental emissions reductions of each control alternative were also calculated. The 

incremental emissions reductions of each option is incremental with respect to the previous 

option for a given equipment type. For example, the emissions reduction for pumps Option 1 is 

based on the additional emissions reductions of Option 1 with respect to the baseline pump 

emissions; similarly, the emissions reduction of pumps Option 2 is based on the additional 

emission reduction of Option 2 with respect to Option 1. The following sections describe how 

these emissions were calculated. 

The first step in calculating emissions was to establish emission factors for each equipment type. 

Emission factors are the estimated leak rates of an equipment type at a given leak definition and 

are normally given in kg/hr/piece of equipment. Tables 6 and 7 summarize the leak emission 

factors used for Models 1-3 and 4-6, respectively. Attachment 3 includes detailed information on 

the basis for these emission factors.

Uncontrolled emissions were calculated by multiplying the emission factors in Tables 6 and 7, 

the equipment counts of each model, and the operating hours (which were assumed to be 8,760 

hours/yr). Uncontrolled emissions for each model are summarized in Table 8. Attachment 4 

provides detailed calculations.

Model 4 61,000 30.4 

Model 5 548,000 274 

Model 6 941,000 471 

Once uncontrolled baseline emissions were established, emission estimates were calculated for 

the baseline. The leak definitions under the baseline are 10,000 ppm for pumps LL, valves G/LL, 

and agitators in G/LL. Therefore, the leak emission factors for the baseline (summarized in Table 

6 and 7) for these equipment types are based on a leak definition of 10,000 ppm. These leak 

emission factors were multiplied by the equipment counts for each model and 8,760 hours to get 

annual emissions. As stated in Section 5, the efficiency of the control methodologies for 

sampling connections and PRVs in gas service is expected to be 100 percent; therefore, 

implementing the requirements of the baseline for these types of equipment results in essentially 

zero emissions for those equipment types. Emission reductions from sensory requirements were 

assumed to be zero because we are unable to quantify emissions reductions associated with 

sensory requirements. Baseline compressor vent emissions estimates are based on emission 

factors used in the HON analysis (Whitt, 1991), assuming the seal system barrier fluid would be 

routed to a reservoir where the fluid could degas and the vapors routed to a control device. For 

OELs, we used the emissions factors documented in previous analyses (Parrish and Randall, 

2007; Parrish et al., 2007) at the leak frequencies described earlier in this section. Table 9 

summarizes baseline emissions for all model plants.

The emission reductions for the baseline were calculated by subtracting total baseline emissions 

from total uncontrolled emissions. The alternative options for each equipment type provide 

additional reductions by increasing the baseline requirements of that equipment type. Table 10 

summarizes emissions reductions of the baseline, as well as the additional reductions of each 

subsequent option. Detailed calculations are included in Attachment 4.

8. Control Costs 

The cost analysis uses a methodology that was originally presented in Impacts from the Control 

of VHAP Emissions from Equipment Leaks in Non-SOCMI Process Units for HON (Whitt, 

1991). The methodology has been tailored specifically for this analysis. Several constant values 

used in this analysis were developed for previous analyses and are detailed in this section. 

Cost calculations can fall into three categories: 

1. Monitoring and Equipment Costs 

2. Leak Repair Costs 

3. Planning and training Costs 

The first step was to estimate the costs of implementing the baseline. Once this was completed, 

the incremental cost of each alternative was calculated. This section will analyze each cost 

estimates and summarize the costs for each option. 

Labor Hour Rates 

Wage rate estimates used to calculate costs were based on data from the U.S. Department of 

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for general manufacturing sectors (Sectors 31, 32, and 33) 

(BLS, 2010). Overhead factors and fringe benefits were added to labor rates when necessary. 

Table 11 summarizes the wage rates and overhead factors used to estimate costs for each option.

 A planning and training overhead factor of 2.1 was used based on Technology Review for Heat Exchange Systems 

(Coburn, 2011).

 A maintenance and repair overhead factor of 3 was used based on a 200 percent overhead factor (which -correlates 

to a factor of 3) based on the overhead factor used for performance testing contractors in the CEMS Cost Model 

(EPA, 2002). 

Monitoring and Equipment Modification Costs 

Initial monitoring costs are considered capital costs and are higher than annual monitoring costs 

in order to account for implementation. They are incurred once at the start of the program and 

were calculated by multiplying the equipment counts in a given model by an estimated initial 

monitoring fee. Table 12 summarizes the monitoring fees for each equipment type and the basis 

for each.

Equipment modification costs are considered to be capital costs and were calculated for the 

baseline requirements to equip open-ended valves with caps or other comparable seals, install 

rupture discs on pressure relief devices in gas service, to equip compressor vents with a seal 

system, and to retrofit sample connection systems to be closed purge, closed loop, or have a 

closed vent system. Table 14 summarizes the initial cost for these requirements and the basis for 

each cost estimate.

Monitoring instrumentation is also necessary for Method 21 monitoring, as well as a data 

collection system to store monitoring records. Instrumentation and data collection systems are 

capital costs that were estimated at $10,800 and $14,500, respectively, per facility. The estimated 

instrumentation costs are roughly equal to the cost to purchase a standard TVA1000B flame 

ionization detector (FID)-only monitor with probe from Thermo Fisher Scientific (2011). The 

data collection system cost was based on Revised MACT Floor, Regulatory Alternatives, and 

Nationwide Impacts for Equipment Leaks at Chemical Manufacturing Facilities (Shine et al., 

2003). 

Initial costs for PRD wireless monitoring device capable of identifying and recording the time 

and duration of each pressure release and calculating the quantity of regulated material released 

were also analyzed in addition to the baseline PRD requirements. There are several types of 

wireless monitoring systems and costs vary depending on the number of PRDs at a facility. 

Based on cost studies from the BAAQMD staff report, the estimated cost of wireless monitoring 

was assumed to be 7,500 dollars per PRD (the midpoint of the range provided by Douglas 

(2005), which includes device parts, installation, maintenance, and data retrieval system. Annual 

operating costs were not included in this analysis because they are assumed to be minimal. 

Because the cost of electronic monitoring is not linear and facilities requiring a large number of 

monitors will benefit from economies of scale, the sixth-tenths rule was applied to calculate 

initial costs which are provided below (Douglas, 2005).

Leak Frequency and Repair Costs 

The control options summarized in Tables 1 and 2 require Method 21 monitoring and repair of 

leaks for certain equipment types. Repair costs are a function of the leak frequency of a given 

equipment type. An initial leak frequency represents the equipment found to be leaking the first 

time the monitoring is conducted using a particular leak definition. The cost to repair these initial 

leaks is considered as initial LDAR costs (along with initial monitoring fees). The subsequent 

leak frequency represents the equipment found to be leaking after a few monitoring cycles have 

been completed and the program reaches “steady state” the cost to repair subsequent leaks are 

considered annual repair costs. Generally, the subsequent leak frequency is estimated to be less 

than the initial leak frequency, but in some cases they are assumed to be the same. For example, 

the initial leak frequencies for the baseline are the estimated percentages of uncontrolled 

equipment leaking above the 10,000 ppm leak definition, and the subsequent leak frequencies are 

the estimated percentage of “leakers” once the initial leaks are repaired and the requirements are 

in place. If initial or subsequent leak frequencies increase for a control alternative, the initial 

LDAR costs or the annual repair costs can increase because there are more leaks to repair; these 

additional repair costs are considered incremental costs for each alternative option. Leak 

frequencies were estimated using several sources including the Protocol for Equipment Leak 

Emissions Estimates and industry data. As previously stated, attachment 2 includes the basis for 

the leak frequencies in Tables 4 and 5. 

The cost to repair initial and subsequent leaks is also based on whether the repair can be 

performed online and the number of hours required to repair the leak. The general manufacturing 

sector - Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations labor rate with the overhead factor 

applied ($66.24/hr) was used for all repairs. Table 15 includes the assumptions used to estimate 

the cost of repairing leaks and attachment 5 provides detailed cost calculations.

As part of the initial (LDAR) repair cost for pumps we assumed that the seals would need to be 

replaced. The cost to purchase replacement pump seals was estimated to be $282.71/leaking 

pump (updated from Hausle, 1992); therefore, initial LDAR cost for pumps also includes the cost 

of replacement pumps seals multiplied by the number of initial leaks (in addition to the initial 

monitoring and repair costs). The annual cost of pump replacements is included as an annual

maintenance cost. Leak repair costs also include additional monitoring of the repaired leaks in 

order to verify the equipment was completely fixed. These costs are considered annual costs and 

were calculated using the subsequent monitoring fee for the equipment type and the subsequent 

number of equipment leaking. 

Baseline cost estimates for OELs only include the costs related to installing caps and annual 

maintenance and do not include any OEL repair costs. OEL repair costs were only used when 

calculating incremental cost of annual monitoring on OELs (see Table 17).

For pumps and agitators, annual maintenance costs were included and are based on the annual 

number of leaks multiplied by the updated cost of a replacement seal, $282.71 (Hausle, 1992). 

Annual maintenance costs were also included for PRVs, OELs, sampling connections, and 

compressor vents as a percentage of initial monitoring fees. For PRV disk holders, OELs, 

sampling connections, and compressor vents, annual maintenance costs were based on 5 percent 

of initial monitoring costs and 2 percent of initial monitoring costs for PRV disks. 

Annual miscellaneous costs were also included in this analysis for pumps, PRDs, OELs, 

sampling connections, and compressor vents. For pumps and agitators, the miscellaneous costs 

are based on 80 percent of the annual maintenance costs. For PRDs, OELs, sampling connections 

and compressor vents, the annual miscellaneous charges are estimated using 4 percent of initial 

monitoring costs (Hausle, 1992). 

Administrative, Reporting, Planning, and Training Labor Costs 

Planning and training costs are initial costs associated with the implementation of an LDAR 

program. These costs include initial review of requirements and training of facility personnel. 

We estimated initial planning and training costs based on an estimate of 320 labor hours and a 

labor rate of $92.72/hr. The value of 320 hours per process unit is based on an estimate of initial 

administration, planning, and training to implement a SOCMI-based LDAR program (Meardon, 

1998). Planning and training costs were included in baseline estimates, and it was assumed that 

no additional planning and training costs would be incurred with any of the alternative options 

for pumps and valves (i.e., incremental costs of planning and training was assumed to be 0 for all 

alternative options). For connectors, it was assumed that an additional 20 hours would be 

required for activities such as adding connectors to the LDAR database for instrument 

monitoring. 

Annual reporting and administrative costs were estimated using 250 hours at a labor rate of 

$92.72/hr to account for preparation of annual reports and recordkeeping. The 250 hour estimate 

was based on the ratio of the amount of hours required for LDAR programs with and without 

connectors which is estimated at 8 people at 32 hours each in Equipment Leak Analysis for 

Amino and Phenolic Resins NESHAP (Meardon, 1998). Development of the labor rate is 

discussed in Table 11. Annual reporting costs were included in baseline estimates and it was 

assumed that no additional annual reporting costs would be incurred with any of the alternative 

options for pumps and valves (i.e., incremental costs of planning and training was assumed to be 

$0 for all alternative options). For connectors, it was assumed that an additional 50 hours would

26 

be required for preparation of annual reports and recordkeeping once the LDAR program 

included instrument monitoring for connectors. 

Annualized Initial Costs 

Initial capital costs and labor expenditures were annualized using capital recovery factors. The 

following equation was used to calculate capital recovery factors (EPA, 2002): 

 CRF = [i * (1+i)n)] / [(1+i)n – 1], 

Where, i is the interest rate and n is the life span in years. 

For pump seals and rupture disks, the capital recovery factor is 0.244, assuming a life span of 5 

years. For all other equipment types, the capital recovery factors is 0.142 based on a life span of 

10 years. We also annualized initial repair labor and planning and training costs over 10 years. 

For both factors, an interest rate of 7 percent was used. The impacts analysis also includes a 

recovery credit for the material that is not lost as emissions from equipment leaks. As in the 

Technology Review for Heat Exchange Systems (Coburn, 2011), these credits are $500/ton VOC. 

Incremental Costs 

Once the total initial and annual costs for the implementation of baseline requirements was 

determined, the incremental annual cost of each alternative option was estimated. Similar to 

incremental emissions reductions, incremental costs are the additional costs of the option with 

respect to the preceding option. The incremental costs were based on the additional repair costs 

(initial and subsequent) of the lower leak definition of a given alternative option and any 

additional costs that are calculated as a function of leaks (maintenance costs, annual 

miscellaneous charges, and monitoring costs to verify off line repairs). It was assumed that there 

are no incremental costs associated with monitoring fees, administrative costs, and planning and 

training (except as described for connectors) since these are constant and should not increase 

with a lower leak frequency. Detailed incremental cost calculations are included in attachment 5.

9. Cost Effectiveness

The cost effectiveness of baseline is calculated by dividing the total annual costs (including 

recovery credits) by the total emissions reduction of the baseline. Similarly, incremental cost 

effectiveness was calculated by dividing the incremental cost of each option (including recovery 

credits) by the incremental emissions reductions. Tables 19-22 summarize the cost effectiveness 

of each control alternative analyzed in this memorandum. 

Additional requirements for wireless monitoring for PRDs and annual monitoring of OELs were 

not included in the cost effectiveness summary since no emissions reductions from these 

activities is expected.

MON memorandum

Step 1: Calculate the LKFRAC % @ 10,000 ppm using 1,000 leak definition

ALR @ 1,000 ppm (kg/hr/source) = Equation 1

(0.11 × LKFRAC @1,000 ppm) + 4.6E-04 Table 5-4 Equipment Leak Protocol 

LKFRAC @ 1,000 ppm = Equation 2

(NEIC Factor x 1.9 % Initial Leak Rate of Pumps LL @ 1,000ppm)/100 

Substitute the leak frequency back into Equation 1. 

ALR @ 1,000 ppm (kg/hr/source) = 

0.11 × (NEIC Factor x 1.9 % Initial Leak Rate of Pumps LL @ 1,000ppm)/100 × 4.6E-04

ALR @ 10,000 ppm (kg/hr/source) = Equation 3

(0.24 × LKFRAC @ 10,000 ppm) + 1.9E-03 Table 5-4 Equipment Leak Protocol 

Rearrange Equation 3 and substitute ALR@ 10,000 ppm with ALR at 1,000 ppm 

LKFRAC % @ 10,000 ppm = 

[(ALR @ 1 000 ppm (kg/hr/source) - 1 9E-03)/0 24] × 100

Attachment 3 ‐ Page 3

LKFRAC % @ 10,000 ppm = 

[(ALR @ 1,000 ppm (kg/hr/source) - 1.9E-03)/0.24] × 100 

Substitute Equation 3 into Equation 4 

LKFRAC % @ 10,000 ppm = Equation 4

[(0.11 × (((NEIC Factor x 1.9 % Initial Leak Rate of Pumps LL @ 1,000ppm)/100 × 4.6E-04) - 1.9E-03)/0.24] × 100
