The project consists of two (2) identical 1 × 1 power blocks (Sources P101 and P102), and each block includes a combustion turbine, a steam turbine and a heat recovery steam generator. The heat input rating of each combustion gas turbine is 3,630 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less firing natural gas and 3,673 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less firing ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. The air contaminants from each power block will be controlled by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system (C101A and C102A) and an oxidation catalyst (C101B and C102B). Ancillary equipment for the facility also being proposed by Renovo Energy Center (Renovo) includes: one (1) 2,206 brake-horsepower diesel-fired emergency generator engine (Source P103), one (1) 237 brake-horsepower diesel-fired fire pump engine (Source P104), two (2) 66 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired auxiliary boilers (Source 031), two (2) 15 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired water bath heaters (Source 032), one (1) 3 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired dew point gas heater (Source 033), and various storage tanks consisting of: one (1) ultra-low sulfur, diesel fuel storage tank, two (2) lube oil storage tanks, and two (2) aqueous ammonia storage tanks (Source P105 for all tanks).
This proposed project is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21, the Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—27.218, and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The facility's total particulate matter (PM) including particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns in effective aerodynamic diameter (PM10) and particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The facility's NOx and VOC emissions are also subject to the NNSR requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The facility is also subject to the following Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS): 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Dc—Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units codified in 40 CFR 60.40c—40.48c. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR 60.4200—60.4219. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines codified in 40 CFR 60.4300—60.4420. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart TTTT—Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Electric Utility Generating Units codified in 40 CFR 60.5508—60.5580.
