ENB Region 2 Completed Applications 03/02/2016
2-6002-00055/00010
The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to issue an Air State Facility (ASF) permit for an existing permitted Air Title V (ATV) hospital. The Title V permit (DEC ID#2-6002-00055/00007) will be relinquished and discontinued upon ASF issuance. The hospital operates five boilers, two exempt emergency diesel 750 KW generators, four fuel oil storage tanks and three fume hoods. The five boilers use natural gas as the primary fuel and No.2 oil as the secondary fuel. The No.2 oil is ULSD (ultra-low sulfur distillate), 15 ppm or 0.0015% maximum sulfur by weight. The five boilers are identified as Emission Unit U-00001 and are exhausted through one common stack.
This application caps the facility-wide NOx emissions to 24.9 tons/yr. By downgrading to an ASF Permit, the facility can resume the operations of 58 MMBtu/hr hour Boiler S0001 without requiring to meet the NOx RACT emissions limitations. All five boilers and two emergency generators will be operated such that total annual NOx emissions will remain under 24.9 tons/yr.
Comments on this project must be submitted in writing to the Contact Person no later than Apr 01, 2016.
Bronx, NY 10467 -2401
Montefiore Medical Ctr-111 E 210th St
2-6002-00105/00002
The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to issue a Title V Renewal 3 for an existing medical facility that operates a cogeneration power plant consisting of two mid-size boilers, three natural gas/No.2 Coltec IC Engines, one combustion turbine generator, one duct burner, four Ethylene Oxide sterilizers with two abators, ten emergency generators, thirty-six fuel oil storage tanks and fifteen fume hoods.
The Coltec IC engine (Emission Source S0002) and the Coltec IC engine (Emission Source S0003) are operating with an approved NOx RACT Variance of 2.8 gm/bhp-hr and 2.7 gm/bhp-hr NOx emission limit; respectively based on a NOx RACT economic analysis. The 68.4 MMBtu/hr Cleaver Brooks boiler that fires No. 2 (Emission Source S0005) is operating with an approved NOx RACT Variance of 0.12 lbs/MMBtu, based on a NOx RACT economic analysis. The upgrade of the burner on both the 98 MM Btu/hr Babcock Wilcox FM 106 and the 68.4 MMBtu/hr Cleaver-Brooks DL-76-RH boilers (Emission Sources S0004 & S0005) was approved to meet the new NOx RACT emission of 0.08 lbs/MM Btu beginning July 1, 2014.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions for Unit U-C0003, the gas turbine (Process P04), is limited to a process material thruput for distillates No.1 and No.2 oil of 520,000 gallons/yr. NOx emissions for Unit U-C0003, the gas turbine (Process P03) and duct burner (Process P06) combination, is limited to a process material thruput for natural gas of 714 million cu.ft/yr.
Riverbay Corp
2049 Bartow Ave
Bronx, NY 10475 -4613
Riverbay Corp-Co-Op City
2-6003-00038/00008
The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to issue a Title V Modification for an existing facility that operates a Co-Generation Power Plant for Riverbay Corp Co-Op City, a housing development consisting of approx.15,000 apartments, three shopping centers and eight garages, all heated and cooled by the Power Plant. The facility operates five emission units: Boilers #1 and #2, two low pressure boilers using No.6 oil or natural gas rated at 371 mmBtu/hr each; Boiler #3, one high pressure rated at 212 mmBtu/hr firing natural gas; two Combustion Gas Turbines rated at 131 mmBtu/hr firing natural gas or ultra-low sulfur distillate (ULSD) No.2 oil; and an emergency diesel generator. Emission Source GEN01 in Emission Unit U-00007 is a "peak shaving unit" in the CDRP with an operational cap of 1,055 hours annually. A variance from full compliance with Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emission limits of 5.19 gm/bhp-hr (7.0 gm/kW-hr) is relevant to Compliance Certification for 6NYCRR Part 227-2.4(f)(2)(ii) and applies to the engine-generators.
The application includes a modification based on the conversion of all boilers from using No.6 oil to using ULSD No.2 oil with 15 ppm or 0.0015% maximum sulfur as the secondary fuel and replace the old low pressure 371 MMBtu/hr Riley Stoker Corp Boiler #2 with a new high pressure 414 MMBtu/hr Victory Energy Boiler. The draft permit contains operating restrictions on each emission unit and combined emission units. No increase in caps or emissions is proposed. The draft permit NOx emission caps are based upon expected fuel consumption and emission factors from AP-42. The updated caps provide operational flexibility between Boilers #1 and #2: limited to 6.11 million gallons/yr of No.2 oil and 2,912 million cu.ft./yr of natural gas. The emission cap avoids New Source Review (6NYCRR Part 231-2) applicability. Stack testing was conducted August 20, 2014. Based on the test results for Emission Unit U-00003 (Boiler #3), the regulated contaminant was changed from NOx to Particulate (PM-10), and the draft permit now limits fuel oil consumption to 5.49 million gallons/yr.
NYSDEC revised 6NYCRR Part 227, the NOx Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) emission limits allowed for combustion sources. More stringent limits are now in place and have been incorporated into the draft permit: on or after July 1, 2014, the NOx RACT limit is 0.15 lbs/MMBtus. Boiler #2 has been equipped with low NOx burners and flue gas recirculation which results in lower NOx emissions, and complies with the revised lower NOx RACT emission limits. NYSDEC revised 6NYCRR Part 225, the sulfur limit in No.2 oil in NYC metropolitan region facilities. More stringent limits are now in place and have been incorporated into the draft permit: from 0.20% sulfur by weight to 0.0015% effective July 1, 2014. NYSDEC no longer uses 6NYCRR Part 227-1.2(a) (1)&(2) for Particulates, and those references have been removed from the draft permit, and have been replaced with SIP 6NYCRR Part 227.2(b)(1), the Particulate emission limit of 0.1 lb/MMBtus when operating on ULSD No.2 oil. Due to a change of regulations by NYSDEC and EPA, the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) conditions 6NYCRR Part 243 have been removed from the draft permit. Due to change of regulations by EPA, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) conditions for NOx and SO2 Trading Programs were updated.
