62-017K: United Refining Co. (15 Bradley Street Warren, PA 16335-3481) for modification of the Distillate Hydrotreater 2 (DHT2), the Reformer unit and increase sulfur recovery in the City of Warren, Warren County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval for their plant in the City of Warren, Warren County. This plan approval will authorize the applicant to modify the DHT2, the Reformer unit and increase sulfur recovery. These units will be modified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel requirements of 40 CFR Part 80. The current sulfur content of the diesel produced by United is in the range of 390-500 ppm. By June 2006, United is required to reduce the average to 15 ppm. This will be accomplished with a change of the catalyst in DHT2 and the existing reformer unit will be utilized to create more hydrogen in a process known as reduced pressure reforming. These changes will be accomplished by June 1, 2006. The new DHT2 catalyst will consume more hydrogen and will allow for more aggressive sulfur removal that will be processed through SRU2. The result will be a reduction of sulfur in on-road diesel. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the company's Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis, the project will increase NOx, CO, PM10 and SOx emissions by 39.8 TPY, 31.6 TPY, 12.7 TPY, 10.9 TPY and 36.3 TPY, respectively. The increases are less than the significant emission thresholds. The permit will incorporate monitoring requirements for the fuel and analysis of the heat content to ensure compliance with the emission limits. In addition, the facility will be required to keep records of the fuel and emission rates. The permit also incorporates the Federal MACT requirements for the heaters as well as the reformer and the sulfur recovery unit (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts DDDDD and UUU, respectively). The permit will also incorporate conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements as well as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
