MEMORANDUM
DATE:
June

2005
SUBJECT:
Cost
per
Ton
for
NSPS
for
Stationary
CI
ICE
FROM:
Tanya
Parise,
Alpha­
Gamma
Technologies,
Inc.

TO:
Sims
Roy,
EPA
OAQPS
ESD
Combustion
Group
The
purpose
of
this
memorandum
is
to
estimate
the
cost
per
ton
of
pollutant
removed
for
the
proposed
new
source
performance
standards
(
NSPS)
for
stationary
compression
ignition
(
CI)
internal
combustion
engines
(
ICE).
This
memorandum
also
presents
the
cost
per
ton
of
other
control
technologies
EPA
considered.

Introduction
The
proposed
rule
requires
stationary
CI
engines
to
comply
with
standards
that
have
been
promulgated
for
nonroad
CI
engines.
These
standards
consist
of
various
tiered
levels
that
increase
in
stringency.
Although
the
proposed
rule
requires
stationary
CI
engines
to
meet
all
tiers,
EPA
expects
that
stationary
CI
engines
would
generally
emit
the
same
levels
as
nonroad
engines
until
Tier
4
is
required,
even
in
the
absence
of
the
rule.
For
the
purpose
of
estimating
reductions
for
stationary
CI
engines,
the
EPA
does
not
take
credit
for
reductions
until
Tier
4
is
in
effect.
This
means
that
the
baseline
level
for
estimating
reductions
is
the
tier
level
prior
to
Tier
4.
The
EPA
expects
that
nitrogen
oxides
(
NO
x)
adsorbers
and
catalyzed
diesel
particulate
filters
(
CDPF)
will
be
used
to
meet
Tier
4
levels
and
are
expected
to
reduce
NO
x
and
particulate
matter
(
PM)
emissions,
respectively,
by
at
least
90
percent.

Control
Cost
The
methodology
for
estimating
the
cost
of
these
control
technologies
is
presented
in
the
memorandum
entitled
"
Control
Costs
for
NO
x
adsorbers
and
CDPF
for
CI
Engines,"
included
in
the
docket
(
Docket
ID
No.
OAR­
2005­
0029).
The
average
annual
cost
of
control
for
NO
x
adsorbers
and
CDPF
were
each
estimated
at
$
1
per
horsepower
(
HP).
The
combined
annual
cost
of
control
was
estimated
at
$
2/
HP.
To
determine
the
annual
control
cost
per
engine,
EPA
multiplied
the
combined
annual
cost

The
emission

corresponding
to
the
various
tiers
were
obtained
from
Table

of
EPA's

To
determine
the

as
a
result
of
applying

EPA
subtracted
the

from

The

NO

add­
on
control
is
not
required
for
this
size
range.
Estimates
shown
are
for
information
purposes
only
and
are
based
on
a
hypothetical
90
percent
reduction
of
NO
x
from
the
previous
tier.

The
EPA
also
evaluated
the
cost
per
ton
of
using
selective
catalytic
reduction
(
SCR).
The
NO
x
reduction
using
SCR
is
expected
to
be
the
same
as
NO
x
adsorber,
i.
e.,
about
90
percent,
so
the
EPA
used
the
NO
x
reduction
shown
in
Table
3
to
estimate
the
cost
per
ton
with
SCR.
Based
on
information
received
from
control
technology
vendors,
EPA
estimated
SCR
annual
control
costs
of
$
36/
HP
per
engine.
The
resulting

of

for

Finally,
EPA
evaluated
the
cost
per
ton
of
using
oxidation
catalyst.
The
technology
can
reduce
PM
emissions
up
to
30
percent
from
stationary
CI
engines.
Based
on
information
obtained
from
the
Office
of
Transportation
and
Air
Quality
for
oxidation
catalysts,
EPA
developed
oxidation
control
costs
following
the
methodology
discussed
in
the
control
cost
memorandum
referenced
earlier
in
this
memorandum.
Using
that
methodology,
EPA
estimated
an
average
annual
cost
of
control
for
oxidation
catalysts
of
$
0.30/
HP
per
engine.
Assuming
oxidation
catalysts
will
reduce
PM
emissions
by
30
percent
from
stationary
CI
engines,
EPA
estimated
the
cost
per
ton
of
PM
removed
for
various
stationary
CI
engine
sizes
as
shown
in
