Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
The control requirements in this section apply to any
						centrifugal compressor and reciprocating compressor subject to this
						division.
(1) If routing to a control
					 device or routing to a process, the volatile organic compounds (VOC) vapors
					 must be routed from the wet seal fluid degassing system or rod packing through
					 a closed vent system. The closed vent system must be designed and operated to
					 route all gases, vapors, or fumes from the wet seal fluid degassing system or
					 rod packing to the control device under normal operation. The closed vent
					 system must operate under negative pressure at the inlet for vapors.
(2) A compressor must be equipped with a seal
					 cover that forms a continuous impermeable barrier over the entire liquid
					 surface area, and the cover must remain in a sealed position (e.g., covered by
					 a gasketed lid or cap) except during periods necessary to inspect, maintain,
					 repair, or replace equipment.
(3)
					 The owner or operator shall control VOC emissions from a centrifugal compressor
					 wet seal fluid degassing system or reciprocating compressor rod packing
					 properly using one of the following controls.
(A) A control device, other than a device
					 specified in subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph, may be used and must
					 maintain a VOC control efficiency of at least 95% or a VOC concentration of
					 equal to or less than 275 parts per million by volume (ppmv), as propane, on a
					 wet basis corrected to 3% oxygen. The 95% VOC control efficiency and 275 ppmv
					 VOC concentration are calculated from the gas stream at the control device
					 outlet.
(i) The control device must be
					 operated at all times when gases, vapors, or fumes are vented from the closed
					 vent system to the control device. For a boiler or process heater used as the
					 control device, the vent gas stream must be introduced into the flame zone of
					 the boiler or process heater. Multiple vents may be routed to the same control
					 device. Control devices and closed vent systems must be in compliance with
					 § 115.178 of this title (relating to Monitoring and Inspection
					 Requirements) and § 115.179 of this title (relating to Approved Test
					 Methods and Testing Requirements).
(ii) Control devices must operate with no
					 visible emissions, as determined through a visible emissions test conducted
					 according to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 22, 40
					 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, Appendix A-7, Section 11, except for
					 periods not to exceed a total of one minute during any 15-minute observation
					 period.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a)
					 No person shall place, store, or hold crude oil or condensate in any storage
					 tank unless the tank is capable of maintaining working pressure sufficient at
					 all times to prevent any vapor or gas loss to the atmosphere or is in
					 compliance with the following controls.
(1)
					 All openings in a fixed roof storage tank through which vapors are not routed
					 to a vapor recovery unit or other control device specified in paragraph (2) of
					 this subsection, must be equipped with a closure device maintained according to
					 the manufacturer's instructions and operated according to this paragraph. If
					 manufacturer instructions are unavailable, industry standards consistent with
					 good engineering practice can be substituted.
(A) Each closure device must be closed at all
					 times except when normally actuated or required to be open for temporary access
					 or to relieve excess pressure or vacuum in accordance with the manufacturer's
					 design and consistent with good air pollution control practices. Such opening,
					 actuation, or use must be limited to minimize vapor loss.
(B) Each closure device must be properly
					 sealed to minimize vapor loss and must form a continuous impermeable barrier
					 over the entire surface area of the liquid in the storage tank when
					 closed.
(C) Each closure device
					 must either be latched closed or, if designed to relieve pressure, set to
					 automatically open at a pressure that will ensure all vapors are routed to the
					 vapor recovery unit or other control device under normal operating conditions
					 other than gauging the tank or taking a sample through an open thief
					 hatch.
(D) No closure device may be
					 allowed to have a volatile organic compound (VOC) leak for more than 15
					 calendar days after the leak is found unless delay of repair is allowed. For
					 the purposes of this subparagraph, a leak is the exuding of process gasses from
					 a closed device detected by audio, visual, and olfactory means. If parts are
					 unavailable, repair may be delayed. Parts must be ordered promptly, and the
					 repair must be completed within five days of receipt of required parts. Repair
					 may be delayed until the next shutdown if the repair of the component would
					 require a shutdown that would create more emissions than the repair would
					 eliminate. Repair must be completed by the end of the next shutdown.

(4) a certification signed and dated by a
					 qualified professional engineer certifying that the assessment of technical
					 infeasibility prepared was true, accurate, and complete and that knowingly
					 submitting false information is a violation of this subsection.
