Box 54382, 6100 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City OK 73154) for an application for a plan approval to construct one dehydration unit at their Cherry Compressor Station located in Cherry Township, Sullivan County. The respective facility is a state only facility for which a state only operating permit has not yet been issued.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC indicates that the proposed dehydration unit to be constructed will comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources. Additionally, the Department has determined that the proposed process satisfies best available technology (BAT) requirements, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Pursuant to the requirements of BAT, the dehydration unit including the existing four dehydration units are restricted to not exceed on a combined process basis (i.e. collectively) the following restrictions; 11.5 tpy of VOC emissions; 4.5 tpy of HAP emissions and 16,125 tpy of GHG emissions, expressed as CO2e. To demonstrate compliance with these limitations, the facility will be required to conduct monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting on certain process' parameters (e.g. throughput of tri-ethylene glycol). In addition, the facility will sample the inlet gas to the station to assure that it is representative of the gas analysis information submitted in the application. In addition to the requirement for the dehydration processes, the Department incorporated monitoring and work practice standards to minimize the GHG emissions from the Cherry Compressor Station to the maximum extent in accordance the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Based on the findings above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval with annual emission restrictions for the dehydration processes at the Cherry Compressor Station as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to verify compliance with the annual emission restrictions. All existing requirements specified in Plan Approval 57-00005A remain in effect and valid.
In addition to the emission limitations above, the following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in Plan Approval 57-00005B to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Perform Audio, Visual and Olfactory (AVO) Inspections on a monthly basis
Perform Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera inspections on a quarterly basis
Operate the dehydration processes using electric TEG recirculation pump
Operate the dehydration process using the Kimray gas pump no more than 10,000 hours per year on a combined process basis
Calculate and record the actual average benzene emissions (in terms of benzene emissions per year) as determined in accordance with § 63.772(b)(2).
Monitor VOC emissions using GRI-GLYCalc computer software
Record of actual throughput per day and the glycol circulation rate
Record of the fuel throughput of the reboiler on a monthly basis
Record the hours of operation for each occurrence of Kimray gas pump operation to verify compliance with the annual hours of operation restriction
The air contaminate emissions from all dehydration processes at the Cherry compressor station will be restricted to the following annual 12 consecutive month limitations; 11.5 tpy for VOC, 4.5 tpy for HAP and 16,125 tpy GHG emissions expressed as CO2e. Compliance requirements for these annual restrictions include monthly recordkeeping of emissions from each dehydration process at the station and monitoring the gas composition of the gas at the inlet to the Cherry Compressor Station.
All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.
