Excerpt

Subpart Y collects the following data about your flare unit:

  • A unique name or identifier, plus optional description for this flare unit (see also About Unique Unit Names)
  • Type of flare:
    • Steam assisted
    • Air assisted
    • Unassisted
    • Other (specify)
  • Flare service type:
    • General facility flare
    • Unit flare
    • Emergency only flare
    • Back-up flare
    • Other (specify)
  • Method used to calculate the CO2 emissions:
    • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(A) – Equation Y-1a Gas Composition Monitored (Equation Y-1a or Y-1b must be used if you have a continuous gas composition monitor on the flare or if you measure it at least weekly)
    • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(A) – Equation Y-1b Gas Composition Monitored (Equation Y-1a or Y-1b must be used if you have a continuous gas composition monitor on the flare or if you measure it at least weekly)
    • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(B) – Equation Y-2 Heat Content Monitored (Equation Y-2 must be used if you have a continuous higher heating value monitor or measure it at least weekly and the heating value monitor or measurement is not based on compositional analyses; if compositional analyses are used, you must use Equations Equation Y-1a or Y-1b)
    • 98.253(b)(1)(iiiii) – Equation Y-3 Start-up, Shutdown, Malfunction (Equation Y-3 must be used if you do not measure gas composition or heating value at least weekly.)
