  1. Cargo Tank Program Emissions and Regulation Development Public Workshop March 2, 2005 ARB, MLD 1st Floor Conference Room 1927 13th Street Sacramento, CA 95814

  2. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 2

  3. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 3

  4. BackgroundState Implementation Plan Obligations • Clean Air Act established standards for criteria pollutants • State developed plan (SIP) to reduce criteria pollutants in ambient air • ARB must achieve 2010 SIP obligations • SIP specifies reductions from gasoline cargo tankers 4

  5. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 5

  6. Emission SourcesProduct Delivery Hoses • Calculation of product hose emissions • Calculating wetted wall losses 6

  7. Emission SourcesProduct Delivery Hoses • Approximately 15 billion gallons of gasoline delivered in California in 2001 • (National Petroleum News, Market Facts July 2002) • 41 million gallons per day • Approximately 10,250 deliveries per day (assuming 4,000 gallons per delivery) 7

  8. Emission SourcesProduct Delivery Hoses • Hoses/elbows transported open to the atmosphere either in tubes or on trays • One 20’ product hose used for each delivery • Based upon number of daily deliveries and lab testing • Emissions of approximately 1 ton per day from wetted hose losses (314 gallons of lost product) 8

  9. Emission Sources Cargo TankDegassing • Degassing only required prior to annual certification testing • No existing requirement for degassing prior to repair 9

  10. Emission Sources Cargo Tank Degassing • Variables associated with degassing • Inventory accuracy (population and capacity) • Degassing frequency • Control method used in degassing • Volume of liquid retained in bottom of tank after delivery • Initial emissions estimate of 5 tons per day 10

  11. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results • Review of Past Cargo Tank NOVs • Looking for trends in equipment failures • Looking for common repairs 11

  12. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results • Review of Past Cargo Tank NOVs 2000 - 2003 • 217 Closed Case Files Reviewed • Information Gathered Included • Date Of NOV • CT Number • Violation Recorded • Test Procedure Used • Corrective Action Taken 12

  13. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results ARB Enforcement Division Cargo Tank NOV Sample 13

  14. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results 14

  15. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results Replace Gaskets - 72 Repairs Reported on Cargo Tank Violation Reports Replace PV Valve 29 Repaired PV Valve 8 5% 4% Replace Internal VV - 24 1% Repaired Internal VV - 33 0% 29% Weld Cracks - 9 5% Tightened Gaskets and or Fittings - 21 Replace Vapor Rail Hose 6 2% No Maintenance Performed - 13 Install Turnover Rail Plug - 1 Repair Liquid Leak 2 9% No Maintenance Specified - 10 Replace OR Repair Vapor Hoods - 12 Repaired Scully Leak - 2 4% Replace Dome Lid - 1 Replace leaking Loading Head - 1 12% Replace 4" Vapor Connection - 1 13% Replace Kamlock Cams -1 3% R&R Poppet Seal - 1 15 10%

  16. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results 16

  17. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results • Further Review of Past Cargo Tank NOVs • Record Certification Test Date of CT’s just prior to issuance of NOV • Use this information to develop average time between certification test date and date of NOV. • Information may be used to develop equipment durability and pressure integrity trends 17

  18. Emission Sources In-Use Violation Database Search Results • Further Review of Past Cargo Tank NOVs • Review inspection forms and record final pressures from testing • Information will be used to determine average leakrate of failures • Current emission estimate due to marginal exceedance of allowable leakrate: about 12 tons per day • We are convinced the final estimate will be significantly higher than 12 tons per day 18

  19. Emission Sources In-Use Operation of PV Vent Valve • Ambient temperature and sunlight affect tank pressure • Vapor filled tank pressurizes to cracking pressure rapidly • PV vent valve cracking pressures are higher under static conditions than dynamic conditions (road vibrations) • Emission impact due to dynamic effect on PV vent valve to be determined 19

  20. Emission Sources Initial Emission Estimates • Product delivery hoses: 1 ton per day • Degassing: 5 tons per day • In-Use • Violation Database: 12 tons per day • Pressure Vacuum vent valve: to be determined • Combined initial emissions estimate at least 18 tons per day - we expect the estimate to be much higher 20

  21. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 21

  22. Inventory Refinement Actions Degassing Survey • Degassing survey drafted • Initially directed to repair shops • Changes to survey based on initial comments response requested by March 16th • Conduct pilot survey to be completed before April 1st • Survey sent to industry response requested by April 15th 22

  23. Inventory Refinement Actions 5 Point Test • Purpose • Obtain data for estimating PV vent emissions • Record CT pressures and ambient temperatures during delivery cycle • At rack after loading • At station prior to delivery • At station after delivery • At station just before leaving • At rack prior to loading • Record time and distance between rack and station 23

  24. Inventory Refinement Actions 5 Point Test • Camlock caps with pressure relief valves • Analog pressure gauge • Temperature transducer (not shown) 24

  25. Inventory Refinement Actions 5 Point Test • Industry involvement • access to trucks during delivery cycles • No response from initial request of November 2004 • Initial testing period • approximately one month • Initial goal • 50 observed delivery cycles 25

  26. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 26

  27. Regulation Development ActionsPossibleControl Measures • Hoses • Require poppetted adapters and/or dust caps for cargo tank fittings and product delivery hoses • Degassing • Require controlled degassing for repair 27

  28. Regulation Development ActionsPossibleControl Measures • In-Use • Add butterfly valve to vapor return line • Redesign of internal vapor valve • Develop specifications of gasket materials • Cargo tank component certification program • New pressure/vacuum vent specifications • Cargo tank onboard diagnostic system for monitoring system pressure integrity • Semi-annual certification 28

  29. Regulation Development ActionsModifications to Test Procedures • Develop new test procedures as necessary • Modify existing test procedures as necessary 29

  30. Regulation Development ActionsEstablish Working Group • Department of Transportation (DOT) • US Environmental Protection Agency • Cargo Tank Industry 30

  31. Topics of Discussion • Background • Emission Sources • Inventory Refinement Actions • Regulation Development Actions • Closing Remarks 31

  32. Closing Remarks Future Plans • Reassess emission estimates • Hoses - Spring 2005 • Degassing - Spring 2005 • In-Use - Fall 2005 • Work with industry in developing control measures - 2006 • Board hearing - end of 2006 • Implementation - 2008 and beyond 32
