INTRODUCTION
CESI Chemical, Inc. (CESI) has applied for an operating permit for their plant (SIC 2899) in Marlow. The facility is a blender of custom chemicals for the oil and gas exploration industry. The facility was permit exempt in 2005, but due to dramatic growth the permitting thresholds were exceeded for the year 2006. The potential emissions for the facility exceed 100 TPY of VOCs so this permit will undergo Tier II review. The facility will be a “synthetic minor” facility upon issuance of this permit.
PLANT DESCRIPTION
CESI Chemical, Inc. is a blender of custom chemicals for the oil and gas exploration industry. The primary manufacturing processes are divided into liquid processing and dry products processing. Liquid raw materials are brought into the plant by tanker truck and off-loaded into aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). Dry materials are brought in by bulk truck and off-loaded into silos. Additional raw materials are purchased in totes, drums, or super sacks and are stored inside the facility for further processing. All raw materials, regardless of the dry or liquid state, follow the same process flow once received in the facility. According to confidential, proprietary recipes, the raw materials are drawn into specified mixers and blended. The blended product is then containerized in drums, totes, bulk tankers, or fifty-five (55) pound sacks (dry product only). PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2007-059-O DRAFT 2
EMISSIONS
Primary emissions from the facility are from the blending and packaging from the liquid manufacturing process in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Primary emissions from the dry manufacturing process are in the form of particulate matter (PM). All particulate emissions are assumed to be PM10 to present a conservative emissions approach, even though particle size distribution indicates that the majority are above 10 microns.
The facility operates a variety of mixers ranging in size from 500 gallons to 12,000 gallons. The typical batch operation takes approximately three hours from start to finish before starting a new cycle. The process rate for the facility has been calculated using the assumption that all mixers can be full at the same time mixing a product with the average density of all products at the facility. The process rate is therefore 69,522 lbs per hour (maximum mixing capacity of 31,260 gallons, cycle time of three hours, average product density of 6.67 lbs/gallon).
The facility contains 17 tanks, but only tanks T11 (10,000 gal), T12 (10,000 gal), T14 (2,000 gal), and T17 (2,000 gal) contain volatile organic compounds. Potential emission estimates for the tanks are based on EPA Tanks 4.0 for working and breathing losses and a maximum throughput of 380,000, 380,000, 320,000, and 320,000 gallons per year, respectively. The table below lists actual (2006) and potential emissions from the facility.

OKLAHOMA AIR POLLUTION CONTROL RULES
OAC 252:100-1 (General Provisions) [Applicable] Subchapter 1 includes definitions but there are no regulatory requirements.
OAC 252:100-2 (Incorporation by Reference) [See Federal Regulations for Applicability] This subchapter incorporates by reference applicable provisions of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations listed in OAC 252:100, Appendix Q. These requirements are addressed in the “Federal Regulations” section.
OAC 252:100-3 (Air Quality Standards and Increments) [Applicable] Subchapter 3 enumerates the primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and the significant deterioration increments. At this time, all of Oklahoma is in attainment of these PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2007-059-O DRAFT 3 standards. OAC 252:100-5 (Registration, Emission Inventory, and Annual Fees) [Applicable] The owner or operator of any facility that is a source of air emissions shall submit a complete emission inventory annually on forms obtained from the Air Quality Division.
OAC 252:100-7 (Permits for Minor Facilities) [Applicable] Subchapter 7 sets forth the permit application fees and the basic substantive requirements of permits for minor facilities. Since criteria pollutant emissions are less than 100 TPY for each pollutant, and emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) will not exceed 10 TPY for any one HAP or 25 TPY for any aggregate of HAP, the facility is defined as a minor source. This permit meets the conditions for a “synthetic minor” facility operating permit. However, as a Tier II major source requesting limits to qualify as a minor source, public review is required. Permit conditions are appropriate, requiring emission calculations for VOCs and HAPs to ensure the source remains minor.
OAC 252:100-8 (Permits For Part 70 Sources) [Not Applicable] Part 5 establishes general administrative requirements for Part 70/Title V Permits. Any changes in the operation of the facility which could potentially result in emissions not authorized in the permit and which do not meet the definitions of “Insignificant Activities” or “Trivial Activities” may require prior notification to AQD and/or a permit modification. Insignificant Activities refer to individual emission units that either are specifically identified in Appendix I (OAC 252:100) or for which actual calendar year emissions do not exceed the following limits:
5 TPY of any one criteria pollutant; 2 TPY of any one HAP or 5 TPY of multiple HAPs or 20% of any threshold less than 10 TPY for single HAP that the EPA may establish by rule;
This site meets the requirements for a “synthetic minor” permit because there will be no emission of any regulated pollutant of 100 TPY or more. However, since this site is regarded as a new Title V facility undergoing modification to become a “synthetic minor,” Tier II review is required.
OAC 252:100-9 (Excess Emissions Reporting Requirements) [Applicable] In the event of any release that results in excess emissions, the owner or operator of such facility shall notify the Air Quality Division as soon as the owner or operator of the facility has knowledge of such emissions, but no later than 4:30 p.m. the next working day. Within ten (10) working days after the immediate notice is given, the owner or operator shall submit a written report describing the extent of the excess emissions and response actions taken by the facility. In addition, if the owner or operator wishes to be considered for the exemption established in 252:100-9-3.3, a Demonstration of Cause must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the occurrence has ended.
OAC 252:100-13 (Open Burning) [Applicable] Open burning of refuse and other combustible material is prohibited except as authorized in the specific examples and under the conditions listed in this subchapter.
OAC 252:100-19 (Particulate Matter) [Applicable] PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2007-059-O DRAFT 4
This subchapter specifies a PM emissions limitation of 0.6 lbs/MMBTU from fuel-burning units with a rated heat input of 10 MMBTUH or less. A natural gas-fired oven is used to cure painted parts. For heaters, boilers, etc., AP-42 (7/98), Table 1.4-2 lists the total PM emissions for natural gas to be 7.6 lbs/MMft3 or about 0.0076 lbs/MMBTU. The permit requires the use of pipeline- grade natural gas for all fuel-burning units to ensure compliance with Subchapter 19. Subchapter 19 also specifies an allowable PM emission rate based on process weight rate. The expected PM emission rate is in compliance with Subchapter 19.
OAC 252:100-25 (Visible Emissions and Particulates) [Applicable] No discharge of greater than 20% opacity is allowed except for short-term occurrences, which consist of not more than one six-minute period in any consecutive 60 minutes, not to exceed three such periods in any consecutive 24 hours. In no case shall the average of any six-minute period exceed 60% opacity. The permit will require proper operation of the control equipment to ensure compliance with this subchapter.
OAC 252:100-29 (Fugitive Dust) [Applicable] Subchapter 29 prohibits the handling, transportation, or disposition of any substance likely to become airborne or windborne without taking “reasonable precautions” to minimize emissions of fugitive dust. No person shall cause or permit the discharge of any visible fugitive dust emissions beyond the property line on which the emissions originate in such a manner as to damage or to interfere with the use of adjacent properties, or cause air quality standards to be exceeded, or to interfere with the maintenance of air quality standards. Under normal circumstances, this facility will not cause a problem in this area, therefore it is not necessary to require specific precautions.
OAC 252:100-31 (Sulfur Compounds) [Applicable] Part 5 limits sulfur dioxide emissions from new equipment (constructed after July 1, 1972). For gaseous fuels the limit is 0.2 lb/MMBTU heat input. For heaters, boilers, etc., AP-42 (7/98), Table 1.4-2 lists the sulfur dioxide emissions for natural gas to be 0.6 lbs/MMft3 or about 0.00059 lbs/MMBTU. The permit requires the use of pipeline-grade natural gas for all fuel-burning units to ensure compliance with Subchapter 31.
OAC 252:100-33 (Nitrogen Oxides) [Not Applicable] This subchapter limits new gas-fired fuel-burning equipment with rated heat input greater than or equal to 50 MMBTUH to emissions of 0.2 lb of NOx per MMBTU. There are no equipment items at the facility that exceed the 50 MMBTUH threshold.
OAC 252:100-35 (Carbon Monoxide) [Not Applicable] This facility has none of the affected sources: gray iron cupola, blast furnace, basic oxygen furnace, petroleum catalytic reforming unit, or petroleum catalytic cracking unit.
OAC 252:100-37 (Volatile Organic Compounds) [Applicable] Part 3 affects storage tanks constructed after December 28, 1974, with a capacity of 400 gallons or more and storing a VOC with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia. There are no storage tanks above 400 gallons that store a VOC with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia. Part 5 limits the VOC content of coating of parts and products, with 4.8 pounds VOC per gallon being the most stringent. The facility is subject to Part 5. Part 7 requires fuel-burning and refuse-burning equipment to be operated to minimize emissions of VOC. The fuel-burning equipment at this facility is subject to part 7. PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2007-059-O DRAFT 5
OAC 252:100-42 (Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC)) [Applicable] This subchapter regulates toxic air contaminants (TAC) that are emitted into the ambient air in areas of concern (AOC). Any work practice, material substitution, or control equipment required by the Department prior to June 11, 2004, to control a TAC, shall be retained, unless a modification is approved by the Director. Since no AOC has been designated there are no specific requirements for this facility at this time.
OAC 252:100-43 (Testing, Monitoring, and Recordkeeping) [Applicable] This subchapter provides general requirements for testing, monitoring and recordkeeping and applies to any testing, monitoring or recordkeeping activity conducted at any stationary source. To determine compliance with emissions limitations or standards, the Air Quality Director may require the owner or operator of any source in the state of Oklahoma to install, maintain and operate monitoring equipment or to conduct tests, including stack tests, of the air contaminant source. All required testing must be conducted by methods approved by the Air Quality Director and under the direction of qualified personnel. A notice-of-intent to test and a testing protocol shall be submitted to Air Quality at least 30 days prior to any EPA Reference Method stack tests. Emissions and other data required to demonstrate compliance with any federal or state emission limit or standard, or any requirement set forth in a valid permit shall be recorded, maintained, and submitted as required by this subchapter, an applicable rule, or permit requirement. Data from any required testing or monitoring not conducted in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter shall be considered invalid. Nothing shall preclude the use, including the exclusive use, of any credible evidence or information relevant to whether a source would have been in compliance with applicable requirements if the appropriate performance or compliance test or procedure had been performed.
The following Oklahoma Air Pollution Control Rules are not applicable to this facility: OAC 252:100-11 Alternative Emissions Reduction not requested OAC 252:100-15 Mobile Sources not in source category OAC 252:100-17 Incinerators not type of emission unit OAC 252:100-23 Cotton Gins not type of emission unit OAC 252:100-24 Feed & Grain Facility not in source category OAC 252:100-47 Landfills not in source category
FEDERAL REGULATIONS
PSD, 40 CFR Part 52 [Not Applicable] The facility has emissions which are below the 250 TPY threshold for PSD, and it is not among the industries defined as “major sources” by PSD at a potential emission level of 100 TPY.
NSPS, 40 CFR Part 60 [Not Applicable] Subpart Kb, VOL Storage Vessels. This subpart regulates storage tanks larger than 19,812 gallons capacity and built after July 23, 1984. The storage tanks have capacities which are less than the de minimis level. Therefore, this subpart is not applicable.
NESHAP, 40 CFR 61 [Not Applicable] Although small amounts of benzene are emitted, the facility is not subject to any of the 40 CFR 61 Subparts. Benzene standards in 40 CFR 61 Subpart J affect process streams with 10% or more PERMIT MEMORANDUM 2007-059-O DRAFT 6 by weight benzene. There are only trace amounts of benzene in any stream at this facility. NESHAP, 40 CFR 63 [Not Applicable] Subpart EEEE - Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline). This subpart affects organic liquid distribution (OLD) operations only at major sources of HAPs with an organic liquid throughput greater than 7.29 million gallons per year (173,571 barrels/yr). This facility is not a major source of HAPs.
Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, 40 CFR Part 68 [Not Applicable] Toxics subject to this regulation that are present in the facility are not stored on site in quantities greater than the threshold quantities; therefore, Part 68 is not applicable. More information on this federal program is available on the web page: www.epa.gov/ceppo.
Stratospheric Ozone Protection, 40 CFR Part 82 [Applicable] These standards require phase out of Class I & II substances, reductions of emissions of Class I & II substances to the lowest achievable level in all use sectors, and banning use of nonessential products containing ozone-depleting substances (Subparts A & C); control servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners (Subpart B); require Federal agencies to adopt procurement regulations which meet phase out requirements and which maximize the substitution of safe alternatives to Class I and Class II substances (Subpart D); require warning labels on products made with or containing Class I or II substances (Subpart E); maximize the use of recycling and recovery upon disposal (Subpart F); require producers to identify substitutes for ozone-depleting compounds under the Significant New Alternatives Program (Subpart G); and reduce the emissions of halons (Subpart H). Subpart A identifies ozone-depleting substances and divides them into two classes. Class I controlled substances are divided into seven groups; the chemicals typically used by the manufacturing industry include carbon tetrachloride (Class I, Group IV) and methyl chloroform (Class I, Group V). A complete phase-out of production of Class I substances is required by January 1, 2000 (January 1, 2002, for methyl chloroform). Class II chemicals, which are hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), are generally seen as interim substitutes for Class I CFCs. Class II substances consist of 33 HCFCs. A complete phase-out of Class II substances, scheduled in phases starting by 2002, is required by January 1, 2030.
This facility does not utilize any Class I & II substances.
