Updating Summary Information for this Facility

Excerpt

To add or update Subpart Y Summary Information for this Facility, locate the FACILITY-LEVEL EMISSIONS SUMMARY table on the Subpart Y Overview page, and click OPEN for the appropriate section.

...

The Equation Y-20 Summary is presented on the page. You can hover over an element in the equation to reveal a definition of that element.

The basis for QRef the methane emission factor value is required. Select from:

  • Company records
  • Measurement data
  • Process Knowledge/Engineering calculation
  • Used default emission factor
  • Other (specify)
Step 2b: Process Vent Method for Uncontrolled Blowdown Systems

Subpart Y collects the following data:

The annual CH4 emissions from blowdown systems is required. The e-GGRT system provides links to optional worksheets that may be used to perform the calculations; use of the spreadsheet is entirely optional and is provided for your assistance. To calculate this value using the optional spreadsheet, download the spreadsheet by clicking the link titled "Use Y-19 spreadsheet to calculate". Fill in the spreadsheet using the instructions in the spreadsheet. After completing the spreadsheet, copy the value of CH4 calculated by the spreadsheet to this page in the box next to "Annual CH4 emissions from blowdown systems (metric tons)".

The Equation Y-19 Summary is presented on the page. You can hover over an element in the equation to reveal a definition of that element.

Subpart Y collects the following data:

  • Annual volumetric flow discharged to the atmosphere (scf)
  • Method used to measure or estimate the annual volumetric flow
  • Annual volumetric flow discharged to the atmosphere (scf)
  • Method used to measure or estimate the annual volumetric flow rate:
    • Continuous or at least hourly measurements
    • Routine (less frequent than hourly but at least weekly) measurements
    • Periodic (less frequent than weekly) measurements
    • Process knowledge
    • Engineering calculation
    • Other (specify)
  • Number of venting events for all relevant vents, if vent is intermittent (see note below)
  • Cumulative venting time (hours)
  • Annual average mole fraction of CH4 (decimal between 0 and 1)
  • Method used to measure or estimate the mole fraction of CH4:
    • Engineering estimates/process knowledge
    • Direct measurement
    • Other (specify)
Note

Note that number of venting events is not applicable for continuous venting in which case you may leave this field blank

Step 2: Indicate emissions calculation methods (if applicable))

If the facility indicates use of "unstabilized crude oil" storage tanks, Subpart Y requires you to report:

  • The method used to calculate the reported storage tank emissions
    • Tank-specific methane composition data and direct measurement of gas generation rate
    • Equation Y-23

If the facility indicates use of "stored liquids other than unstabilized crude oil" storage tanks, Subpart Y requires you to report:

  • The method used to calculate the reported storage tank emissions
    • AP-42
    • Equation Y-22
