1     Gas treatment processes  Section 5.1

Subdivision 3.3.9A.2—Natural gas production—emissions that are vented—cold process vents

3.85A  Available methods
 (1) Subject to section 1.18, for estimating emissions relating to cold process vents (emissions that are vented) released during a year from the operation of a facility that is constituted by natural gas production the methods as set out in this section must be used.
 (2) One of the following methods must be used for estimating fugitive emissions that result from deliberate releases from process vents, system upsets and accidents:
 (a) method 2 under section 3.85B;
 (b) method 4 under Part 1.3.
Note: There is no method 1 or 3 for subsection (2).
 (3) However, for incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.

3.85B  Method 2—emissions from system upsets, accidents and deliberate releases from process vents
  Method 2 is, for a process mentioned in column 2 of an item in the following table, the engineering calculations provided in the section of the API Compendium mentioned in column 3 for the item.
