EXAMPLE COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE MONITORINGCARBON ADSORBER FOR VOC CONTROL FACILITY T

I. Background

A. Emissions Unit

Description: Loading Rack

Identification: LR-1

APCD ID: SRU-1

Facility: Facility TAnytown, USA

B. Applicable Regulation, Emission Limit, and Monitoring Requirements

Regulation: Permit

Emission Limits: VOC: 0.67 lb/1,000 gallons transferred

(80 mg/L transferred)

Monitoring Requirements: Monitor carbon adsorber outlet VOCconcentration, monitor position of APCDbypass valve, conduct a leak detection andrepair program.

C. Control Technology:

Carbon adsorber.

II. Monitoring Approach

The key elements of the monitoring approach are presented in Table A.18-1. The carbonadsorber outlet VOC concentration in percent by volume as propane is continuously monitored. The selected indicator range is based on a 1-hour rolling average concentration. Periodic leakchecks of the vapor recovery unit also are conducted and the position of the carbon adsorberbypass valve is monitored to ensure bypass of the control device is not occurring.

Note: Facility T also monitors parameters related to the vapor tightness of connections and tanktrucks and other parameters of the vapor recovery system, but this example focuses on themonitoring performed on the carbon adsorber.

TABLE A.18-1. MONITORING APPROACHIndicator No. 1 Indicator No. 2

I. Indicator Outlet VOC concentration (percent). Equipment leaks.

Measurement Approach Breakthrough detector (NDIR analyzer). Monthly leak check of vapor recovery system.

II. Indicator Range An excursion is defined as an hourly average outlet VOCconcentration of 4 percent by volume (as propane) or greater. When this level is reached or exceeded, the loading rack willbe shut down via an automated interlock system. Anexcursion will trigger an investigation, corrective action, and areporting requirement.

An excursion is defined as detection of a leakgreater than or equal to 10,000 ppm (as methane)during normal loading operations. An excursionwill trigger an investigation, corrective action, and areporting requirement. Leaks will be repairedwithin 15 days.

III. Performance CriteriaA. Data

Representativeness

The analyzer is located at the carbon adsorber outlet. A handheld monitor is used to check for leaks in thevapor collection system during loading operations.

B. Verification ofOperational Status

NA NA

C. QA/QC Practices andCriteria

Daily zero/span drift. Adjust if drift is greater than 2.5 percentof span.

Follow procedures in 40 CFR 60, Appendix A,Method 21.

D. MonitoringFrequency

The outlet VOC concentration is monitored every 2 minutes. Monthly.

Data CollectionProcedures

The data acquisition system (DAS) collects the outlet VOCconcentration every 2 minutes and calculates a rolling 1-houraverage. Periods when breakthrough is detected and theinterlock system shuts down the loading rack also arerecorded.

Records of inspections, leaks found, leaks repaired.

Averaging period 1 hour (rolling). None.

APCD Bypass Monitoring: A pressure gauge on the vapor header line is used to detect if the relief valve is open. The valve opens if the pre
