62-0017L: United Refining Co. (15 Bradley Street Warren, PA 16365) for installation of four microturbines that will burn waste gas vapors from the loading rack in the City of Warren, Warren County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval for the Warren Refinery located in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility was issued a Title V permit No. TV-62-00017 on December 26, 2000, which was revised on March 21, 2001, and again on December 18, 2001. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. 62-017L is for the installation of four microturbines that will burn waste gas vapors from the loading rack. The existing vapor combustion will continue to be utilized to handle the excess vapors or when the microturbines are not being operated. The microturbines will generate approximately 120 kilowatts/hr and will produce lower emissions than the vapor combustion unit. The emissions limits established for the source will remain the same. Emission testing is also required for the microturbines and the vapor combustion unit. The plan approval does not trigger NSR or PSD.
The permit will incorporate monitoring and recordkeeping requirements for the quantity of gasoline loaded, the hours of operation of the microturbines and the vapor combustion unit, the amount of electricity generated, the presence of a continuous flame and temperature of the flame zone. The permit also incorporates the Federal MACT requirements for the loading racks (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CC) and the bulk gasoline terminals (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R). In addition the leak detection and repair requirements for the MACT and New Source Performance Standards were included in the permit (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CC and R and 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts VV and GGG, respectively). The permit will also incorporates conditions to ensure compliance with applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements as well as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Copies of the applications, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.
