Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-19-67 - Petroleum refineries
(a) A person shall
not permit the use of any vacuum producing system at a petroleum refinery
unless the vapor emissions from the condensers, hot wells or accumulators of
the system are reduced by:
(1) Piping the
noncondensible vapors to a firebox or incinerator;
(2) compressing the vapors and adding them to
the refinery fuel gas; or
(3)
other equipment or means of equal efficiency for purposes of air pollution
control as may be approved by the department.
(b) A person shall not permit the use of any
waste water (oil and water) separator at a petroleum refinery unless covers and
seals approved by the department have been provided on all separators and
forebays, and all openings in covers, separators and forebays have been
equipped with lids or seals so that the lids or seals are in the closed
position at all times except when in actual use.
(c) A person shall not perform a process unit
turnaround at a petroleum refinery unless a detailed procedure for minimization
of volatile organic compound emissions during process unit turnarounds has been
developed, submitted to, and approved by the department. As a minimum, the
procedure shall provide for:
(1)
Depressurization venting of the process unit or vessel to a fuel gas system,
vapor recovery system, flare or firebox, or other equipment or means of equal
efficiency for purposes of air pollution control, as approved by the
department;
(2) no emission of
volatile organic compounds from a process unit or vessel until its internal
pressure is 19.7 pounds per square inch, absolute, or less; and
(3) submission to the department, within 30
days of placing the process unit on stream after a turnaround, the following
information:
(A) The dates of the process
unit shutdown and startup; and
(B)
the approximate total quantity of volatile organic compounds emitted to the
atmosphere.
(d) The owner or operator of any source
subject to the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this regulation shall:
(1) Within 16 weeks of the effective date of
this regulation submit a control plan providing for compliance with the
provisions as expeditiously as practicable but not later than the date
prescribed by subsection (e)(5) of this regulation.
(2) award contracts or purchase orders
necessary to comply with the provisions within 24 weeks of the effective date
of this regulation.
(3) initiate
on site construction or installation activities required to comply with the
provisions within 48 weeks of the effective date of this regulation.
(4) complete the construction or installation
of equipment necessary to comply with the provisions within 100 weeks of the
effective date of this regulation.
(5) demonstrate final compliance with the
provisions within two years of the effective date of this regulation, except
that final compliance shall be demonstrated within one year of the effective
date of this regulation where such compliance does not require the purchase,
relocation or construction of equipment items other than piping.
(e) The owner or operator of a
source subject to the provisions of subsection (c) of this regulation shall
develop and submit the required procedures to the department within six months
of the effective date of this regulation and shall implement such procedures
within three months of the date of their approval by the department.
(f) This regulation shall be applicable only
to the use of vacuum producing systems and wastewater separators and
turn-around operations at petroleum refineries which are located in areas which
were identified as not meeting the national ambient air quality standard for
ozone in the manner prescribed by the provisions of Section 107(d) of the
federal clean air act (42 U.S.C. 7407), as promulgated at 48 FR 46783 (October
14, 1983), and have a cumulative potential contaminant emission rate equal to
or greater than one hundred (100) tons of volatile organic compounds per year
for all emission sources subject to the provisions of this part.
