Example Process Description COMPANY NAME owns and operates the SITE AND/OR UNIT NAME located in COUNTY NAME. The site associated gas from the well flows through a 500,000 Btu/hr line heater (HTR1), where it is periodically heated to reduce the formation of hydrates. The gas then flows into the two stage separator, where the liquids (water) are separated from the gas. The gas then flows to the gas sales meter while the liquids flow into the produced water tanks (TK1 and TK2) on the site. The tank vapors are vented to the atmosphere, while the liquids are eventually trucked off-site (TRUCK).

Slide 19

Example Project Description (Initial) COMPANY NAME has submitted a Form PI-7-CERT for the initial authorization of the SITE NAME in accordance with PBR OR STANDARD PERMIT, APPLICABLE RULE(S).
