1. Executive Summary

In response to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) letter dated July 18, 2019, GHD Services, Inc. (GHD) was retained by ETC Texas Pipeline, LTD to prepare a four-factor analysis for the NMED Regional Haze Second Planning Period Progress Analysis under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Regional Haze Rule (40 CFR §51.300 to 51.309). As a part of this Progress Analysis, NOx and SO2 emissions were evaluated at the Jal No.3 Gas Plant (Jal 3 GP), which is a natural gas treating and processing plant.

The four-factor analysis is codified in 40 CFR §51.308(d)(1)(i)(A) and is designated as a means for establishing reasonable progress goals towards achieving natural visibility conditions. The four factors to consider are:

1. The costs of compliance

2. The time necessary for compliance

3. The energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance

4. The remaining useful life of any potentially affected sources

The purpose of the four-factor analysis is to identify control measures for reducing emissions that could be used to establish the long-term strategy for attaining the states visibility goals. The NMED has requested that evaluations be completed for individual equipment that have a potential to emit (PTE) greater than ten pounds per hour of NOx or SO2. The source categories identified at the Jal 3 GP for evaluation are two existing RICE compressor engines (4A and 5A), and a thermal oxidizer (9S). Based on correspondence and guidance from Mark Jones of NMED, equipment used for startup, shutdown, and maintenance are not subject to the four-factor analysis. NMED also instructed to use actual emissions from reporting year 2016 as baseline emissions to calculate emission reductions for control options evaluated. The cost range for emission reductions reflects the range of operation time in 2016 between the two RICE compressor engines analyzed. The results of the subsequent four-factor analysis are summarized in Table 1.1 below:

2. Source Category Analysis for RICE Engines

2.1 Source Category Description

The facility is permitted for a total of fourteen (14) reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE). A summary of the equipment is in Table 2.1 below:

Table 2.1 Summary of Jal 3 GP RICE Units

Unit No. Make/Model Permitted Capacity

NOx PTE per unit (lb/hr)

SO2 PTE per unit (lb/hr)

1A-3A Cooper Bessemer GMV-10T5 with Low Emission Technology

1,100 hp 4.9 <0.01

4A-5A Cooper Bessemer GMV-10T5 1,100 hp 27.9 <0.01 C1-C4 Caterpillar G3612 3,550 hp 3.9 <0.01 S1-S4 Superior 2416 G 3,200 hp 8.8 <0.01 S5 Superior 12SGTA 2,000 hp 8.3 <0.01

Per Table 2.1 above, the majority of the engines at this facility fall below the 10 lb/hr applicability threshold set by the NMED for both NOx and SO2. The facility has five (5) natural gas compressor engines (Unit Nos.1A-5A) serving as backup engines for recompression of residue gas to sales. Each of these engines are 1,100 horsepower two-stroke lean-burn Cooper Bessemer GMV-10TF model engines, manufactured in 1948. On average, these backup engines operate 25-50% of the time each year. Around 2007, Units 1A-3A were modified by adding low emission control technology, which reduced their NOx potential-to-emit (PTE) below the 10 lb/hr threshold. Engines

Page 7: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 3

4A-5A, however, have not been significantly modified since their initial installation and their NOx PTE permit limit is 27.9 lb/hr, which exceeds 10 lb/hr, and are therefore being assessed for four factor analysis.

2.2 Clean Air Act and State Regulations

The two compressor engines (4A and 5A) are subject to the following state and federal regulations:

20.2.35 NMAC Natural Gas Processing Plant - Sulfur

All units at the facility, including units 4A and 5A, are subject to this state regulation for sulfur emissions at natural gas processing plants.

20.2.37 NMAC Petroleum Processing Facilities

All units at the facility, including units 4A and 5A, are subject to this state regulation for “new processing facilities” for which a modification commenced on or after July 1, 1974. Sections 200 (mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide emissions), 202 A. (Petroleum processing facility), 203 (ammonia emissions) and 205 (storage, handling, pumping, and blow down) apply to Jal 3 GP.

MACT 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ and 20.2.82 NMAC Emissions Standards for HAPs from RICE

Since the station is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, engines at the facility, including units 4A and 5A, are subject to the federal 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ MACT standards and the state regulation for MACT, 20.2.82 NMAC. Per §63.6590(b)(3)(ii), units 4A and 5A are subject to the regulation, but except for do not have any requirements under Subpart ZZZZ.

2.3 NOx Emissions and Control Options

2.3.1 NOx Emissions

NOx is generated by RICE from the combustion of natural gas. Exhaust gas is released to the atmosphere through stacks associated with each engine. The predominant form of NOx generated from RICE is thermal NOx which is formed when nitrogen and oxygen unite during high temperature and high pressure combustion7. Low Emission Controls (LEC) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) have been evaluated for controlling NOx emissions from engines 4A and 5A at the Jal 3 GP facility.

2.3.2 Low Emission Controls (LEC)

LEC is a combination of combustion controls in which various engine modifications, upgrades, and tuning methods provide lower emission combustion. One upgrade includes increasing the air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) to reduce thermal NOx formation by diluting combustion gases and lowering peak flame temperature. Installation of an AFR controller and turbocharger would be required. Adjusting ignition timing is another modification associated with LEC. This control delays ignition in the power stroke when the chamber is below its maximum pressure. This causes ignition at a lower temperature, thus lowering thermal NOx formation during combustion. Other LEC options include intercooling, enhanced mixing, and increased ignition energy2.

Page 8: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 4

LEC have already been installed in existing engines 1A-3A at Jal 3 GP and will be evaluated for controlling NOx emissions from engines 4A and 5A.

2.3.3 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

SCR is a post-combustion control in which ammonia or urea is mixed with exhaust gases over a catalyst to convert NOx to nitrogen gas (N2) and water (H2O). While SCR has been applied to large boilers and turbines in the power generation industry, its application on new RICE in the gas transmission industry has been rare, and retrofitted applications for existing RICE have not occurred as of 20141.

There are several factors that make SCR difficult for this application. Technical concerns, such as reagent injection control, exhaust temperature requirements, and variations in the exhaust NO/NO2 ratio, pose limitations on the effectiveness and feasibility of SCR. NOx reduction may not be achieved, or, even more, ammonium sulfates may be emitted if the reagent feed rate and/or operating temperature is not precisely tuned to the fluctuating exhaust properties1.

Another challenge is that combustion byproducts and engine oil carryover often contaminate the catalytic elements in SCR applications. Routine cleaning and replacement as well as greater management are required for effective use1.

For these reasons, LEC is the preferred control method for the RICE engines, units 4A and 5A.

2.3.4 Four Factor Analysis of Potential NOx Control Options

2.3.4.1 Factor 1: Cost of Compliance

In July 2007, the Jal 3 GP facility implemented a NOx reduction initiative including the installation of LEC in engines 1A-3A for a quoted cost of $644,875 per engine (see Appendix A). The quote was provided by Cameron Compression Systems and LEC included new power cylinder heads, gas ignitors, high efficiency turbocharger, and miscellaneous on-engine assemblies. If the same type of LEC were installed in engines 4A and 5A, the cost in 2019 dollars based on a CPI inflation rate of 1.79% per year during that period would be approximately $751,930 per engine. Assuming a target

Page 9: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 5

reduced NOx emission factor of 1 g/hp-hr from the LEC and using actual NOx emission rates from the 2016 emissions inventory, the percent reduction in emissions would be 81-89% at a cost of $6,300-$23,900 per ton depending on annual hours or operation (see Appendix B). The LEC is more cost effective per ton of NOx emissions with increased annual hours of operation. This estimate of cost effectiveness does not account for additional annual costs from operation and maintenance.

The capital costs for SCR, if one were to assume this was an ‘achievable technology’ for this application, are varied. There are a number of published cost estimates for typical coal- oil- and gas-fired medium to large sized boilers. The same cannot be said for a retrofit of a natural gas-fired compressor engine. In addition, the cost to retrofit SCR is much higher than an original installation, which would apply to this analysis. SCR systems used to retrofit an existing unit increase costs up to about 30%5. O&M costs may also be substantially dependent on reagent usage, catalyst replacement, and increased electrical usage. The average cost effectiveness of SCR was estimated from $7,500 to $28,600 per ton removed.

Potentially applicable to units 4A, 5A

2.3.4.2 Factor 2: Time Necessary for Compliance

Based on the 2007 quote from Cameron Compression Systems, the delivery of LEC parts package would take about 32-36 weeks per engine considering limited inventory and engineering back log. Installation of LEC controls is estimated at 27 working days per engine (see Appendix A). Taken together, a minimum of two years is estimated to install LEC technology on engines 4A and 5A. According to NMED guidance, sources are generally given between two and five years to implement changes for compliance with new regulations and implementation of this LEC would fall within that timeframe. Although no specific data was found, it would be reasonable to assume that a two to five year period would also be appropriate for the installation of SCR.

2.3.4.3 Factor 3: Energy and Non-Air Impacts

As described above, SCR systems require ammonia (aqueous and/or anhydrous) or urea-to-ammonia reagents. Anhydrous ammonia is considered a hazardous material, and would be subject to storage, transportation, and operational regulations. The LEC technology does not require the

Page 10: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 6

handling or storage of hazardous materials and does not require changes that could create an energy demand penalty.

2.3.4.4 Factor 4: Remaining Useful Life of the Source

Although engines 4A and 5A were manufactured in 1948, they are planned for continuous operation until they are no longer functional. The estimated service life of the assessed control equipment (LEC and SCR) is 25 years4. Based on this information, the control options are considered the limiting factor for useful life of the source. The cost effectiveness for applying the control options considers this as the minimum lifespan.

3. Source Category Analysis for Flares and Thermal Oxidizers

3.1 Source Category Description

The facility is permitted for a total of three (3) flares and one (1) thermal oxidizer. A summary of the equipment is in Table 3.1 below:

Table 3.1 Summary of Jal 3 GP Flares and Thermal Oxidizer Units

Unit No. Make/Model Permitted Capacity

John Zink Inlet Flare 75 MMcfd 430.00 2773.21

SSM-Inlet (Flare 10F)

John Zink Inlet Flare 75 MMcfd 0.660 2.90

Per Table 3.1 above, the SO2 emissions of 275.3 lb/hr for the thermal oxidizer (Unit 9S) exceed the 10 lb/hr threshold requested by the NMED for both SO2 and NOx. SSM emissions from Flares 9F and 10F also exceed the 10 lb/hr threshold, however based on correspondence with and guidance from Mark Jones of NMED, emissions from SSM activities are not subject to the four factor analysis evaluation for New Mexico’s implementation of the Regional Haze Second Planning Period Progress Analysis under the CAA.

The facility is a natural gas treating and processing plant. Natural gas is treated in amine sweetening units to remove acid gas, consisting of approximately 70% CO2 and 18% H2S, with traces of other gases. Acid gas removed from the natural gas stream by the sweetening units is directed to either the sulfur recovery unit (SRU) where the bulk of the H2S is converted to elemental sulfur, which is

Page 11: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 7

then disposed-of; or to a Class II underground injection disposal well, permitted by the Oil Conservation Division (OCD). The remaining acid gas from the SRU, consisting of CO2 and the remaining H2S in the gas stream, are vented to a thermal oxidizer (Unit 9S), where the H2S is combusted to form SO2. Throughput through the amine units is limited to 50 long tons of sulfur a day, pursuant to 20.2.35.110.A NMAC and 20.2.35.110.B NMAC, as appropriate. The thermal oxidizer (Unit 9S) combusting H2S to form SO2 has a potential-to-emit permit limit of 275.3 lb/hr for SO2, which exceeds the 10 lb/hr threshold for New Mexico’s state implementation of CAA Regional Haze Planning, and is therefore being assessed for the four factor analysis.

3.2 Clean Air Act and State Regulations

The thermal oxidizer controlling H2S emissions at the facility (Unit 9S) is subject to the following state and federal regulations:

20.2.35 NMAC Natural Gas Processing Plant - Sulfur

All units at the facility, including unit 9S, are subject to this state regulation for sulfur emissions at natural gas processing plants.

20.2.37 NMAC Petroleum Processing Facilities

All units at the facility, including unit 9S, are subject to this state regulation for “new processing facilities” for which a modification commenced on or after July 1, 1974. Sections 200 (mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide emissions), 202 A. (Petroleum processing facility), 203 (ammonia emissions) and 205 (storage, handling, pumping, and blow down) apply to Jal 3 GP.

20.2.77 NMAC New Source Performance

Unit 9S is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, as amended through January 31, 2009.

NSPS 40 CFR 60, Subpart LLL Standards for SO2 Emissions

The facility is a natural gas processing plant, including a sweetening unit followed by a sulfur recovery unit and thermal oxidizer (Unit 9S), constructed after January 20, 1984, and meets the applicability criteria of 40 CFR 60.640. This regulation applies to the sweetening unit with or without the SRU and thermal oxidizer. As given in 40 CFR 60.640(e), this regulation does not apply to amine unit when it sends acid gas to acid gas re-injection well (AGI).

3.3 SO2 Emissions from Thermal Oxidizer

3.3.1 SO2 Emissions and Control Options

SO2 emissions are generated from the combustion of H2S. The facility operates two amine units to remove H2S from the natural gas stream. From the amine units, the remaining acid gas is sent to a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) which scrubs H2S from the gas at a 92% efficiency. The leftover H2S from the SRU is sent to the thermal oxidizer to be combusted in the form of SO2. During SRU/TO downtime, the H2S is controlled by being sent to acid gas injection (AGI) wells and during AGI well downtime, the H2S is sent to the SRU/TO.

Page 12: 11203434-RPT-Jal 3 Four Factor Analysis Report...cc: Carolyn Blackaller – Energy Transfer GHD | th14998 West 6 Avenue Suite 800 Golden Colorado 80401 USA | 11203434 | Report 1 |

GHD | Four Factor Analysis for Regional Haze Planning in New Mexico | 11203434 (1) | Page 8

These existing controls are the best known technologies for controlling acid gas and, to our knowledge, there are no other technically feasible control options available to further reduce SO2 emissions from the thermal oxidizer.
