Purpose of Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR) for Aboveground

Storage Tanks (ASTs)

• To seek additional emission reductions from gasoline marketing operations by increasing the stringency of standards and specifications

• To improve the performance and reliability of vapor recovery equipment

Overview

5

Overview

In 2000, the Board approved EVR regulations for underground gasoline storage tanks (USTs).

A new rulemaking is required to implement EVR for aboveground gasoline storage tanks (ASTs).

6

Overview

EVR for ASTs is necessary to:

• Ensure maximum feasible emissions reductions are achieved

• Improve quality, reliability and durability of AST vapor recovery systems

• Provide consistency with the UST EVR program

Overview

Proposed AST EVR Performance Standards and Specifications

• Draft Certification and Test Procedures are available on the ARB Vapor Recovery website, but will be revised pending further testing and monitoring data.

10

Overview

Previous Inventory Efforts

• Revisited inventory in response to industry concerns – Tank population inventory– Emission inventory

11

Overview

Status of AST EVR

• Conducting further studies on:– Tank population inventory– Emissions inventory – Controls– Cost

12

Overview

Status of AST EVR •Focus of today’s workshop

– Tank population inventory– Emissions inventory

•AST proposed regulation and cost analysis will be discussed in future workshops

Tank Population Inventory

• Desired information• Our approach to acquire information• Pilot Survey & Summary• Survey timeline

Overview

16


• Size distribution• Location• Control level• Type of tank

Desired Information

17


• Districts• Water Board• Board of Equalization• Energy Commission• AST Manufacturers• Fuel Carriers

Approach to Acquire Information

18


• Identify fuel carriers– 473 carriers identified by CARB– each carrier was contacted

• Identify gasoline carriers to AST– 188 carriers deliver gasoline to AST

Approach to Acquire Information

19


• With California Independent Oil Marketers Association (CIOMA)– Develop pilot survey

• Randomly select carriers– 32 carriers received pilot survey

Pilot Survey

20


• 32 companies received survey• 15 companies returned survey• 8 companies returned survey with

tank information• 466 tanks identified

Tank Location

1You can use a block on the form to group the AST(s) by the city or county where they are located or use a separate block for each tank.

The following information is needed for gasoline deliveries to aboveground storage tanks (AST)

An Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) is a tank not covered by dirt or other fill. An AST can have many different looks and configurations. But the common factor in all AST's is that they are not buried, the sides and tops have air touching them not dirt or fill.

Emission Inventory

• Build a population picture– Use picture to develop emission

inventory

What are we going to do with the tank population

information?

• AST Emission Factor Approach– Determine AST emission

factors using the U.S. EPA Tanks Emissions Estimation Program (AP-42)

– Suggested by industry

Emissions Inventory

33

• U.S. EPA Tanks Emissions Estimation Program (AP-42) – Emission estimating equations

were developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API)

– Estimates emissions from organic liquid storage tanks

– http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/ index.html

Emissions Inventory

34

• U.S. EPA Tanks Emissions Estimation Program (AP-42) – Designed for single-wall tank

application– Can be used for protected tank

application• Requires fuel surface temperature

measurements

Emissions Inventory

35

• AP-42 Data Collection – In August 2004, ARB installed

monitoring equipment on 5 ASTs– Parameters measured include:

• fuel surface temperature,• ullage pressure and temperature,• barometric pressure, and• ambient temperature.

Emissions Inventory

36

– AST Monitoring status:•5 ASTs monitored

– 4 protected (500-8,000 gallon capacities, different manufacturers, different insulation characteristics)

– 1 single-wall (250 gallon capacity, on stands, no vapor recovery, open vent)

•Data collected from August through November 2004

•Preliminary data analyses in January 2005
