  • A unique name or identifier, plus optional description for this unit (see also About Unique Unit Names)
  • Specify the type of unit:
    • Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit
    • Thermal Catalytic Cracking Unit
    • Traditional Fluid Coking Unit
    • Catalytic Reforming Unit (see note below)
    • Fluid Coking Unit with Flexicoking Design (see note below)
  • For each unit, answer the following question: Do you operate and maintain a CEMS that measures CO2 emissions according to subpart C? This means that both a flow meter and a concentration monitor need to be installed. If so, you must use the CEMS methodology for measuring CO2 emissions from this unit. Click either Yes or No.

Note

Depending on the methods selected to calculate CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions (see previous section titled "Adding or Updating Catalytic Cracking, Fluid Coking, or Coking Catalytic Reforming Unit Information"), you will be presented with screens to collect the respective CO2, CH4 and N2O emission results and additional data. Each specific screen is discussed below.

...

The annual CO2 emission rate from the unit operations is required. To calculate this value download the spreadsheet by clicking the link titled "Use Y-6 spreadsheet to calculate." Fill in the spreadsheet using the instructions in the spreadsheet. After completing the spreadsheet, copy the value of CO2 calculated by the spreadsheet to this page in the box next to "Annual CO2 emission from this unit type unit (metric tons)."

Subpart Y also collects the following CO2 emission data:

  • Annual average flow rate of exhaust gas (dscfh)
  • Manufacturer's recommended method used for annual average flow rate of exhaust gas
  • Number of hours missing data procedures were used for annual average flow rate of exhaust gas (hours)
  • Annual average percent CO2 in exhaust gas stream (percent by volume - dry basis; 0 ? x ? 100)
  • Manufacturer's recommended method used for annual average percent CO2 in exhaust gas stream
  • Number of hours missing data procedures were used for annual average percent CO2 in exhaust gas stream (hours)
  • Annual average percent CO in exhaust gas stream (percent by volume - dry basis; 0 ? x ? 100)
