Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
I. Introduction
In August 1995, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated
the National Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for petroleum refineries
that were originally proposed in July 1992. These standards require petroleum refineries,
that are major sources of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), to meet emission standards
reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The
affected sources at petroleum refineries are defined to include all process vents, storage
vessels, marine tank vessel loading operations, gasoline rack operations, equipment
leaks, and wastewater treatment systems located at the refinery. This manual was
developed to assist refineries in determining the applicability of these new standards to
their operations, and to provide guidance to assist facilities in achieving and maintaining
compliance.
The manual is presented in five chapters. Chapter 1 states the purpose, scope, and layout
of the document. Chapter 2 summarizes the major parts of the regulation, applicability of
the regulation to specific process units, applicable control requirements, and processes
not covered under the new rule. Chapter 3 discusses general standards applicable to all
process units. Chapter 4 builds on the genera! requirements, and discusses requirements
specific to each type of process unit and for facilities that use emissions averaging.
Finally, Chapter 5 shows where the new Petroleum Refinery MACT standard overlaps with
existing regulations.

2. The Petroleuh Refinery MACT Standard: An Overview
The maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standard for petroleum refineries
stems from the Clean Air Act Amendments (the Act) of '1990. Under the Act, EPA is
required to regulate emissions of 188 listed hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), also known
as air toxics. On July 16,1992, EPA published a list of source categories (industry
groups) that emit one or more of these HAPs. For listed categories of "major" sources
(those ;hat emit 10 tons annually or more of a listed pollutant or 25 tons or more of a
combination of pollutants annually- see Appendix I of this document for additional
information on "major sources), the Act requires EPA to develop standards that will require
the application of maximum achievable control technology.
The list of industry groups to be regulated includes petroleum refineries, because they are
a major source of HAP emissions. Consequently, the MACT standard was developed to
help control this source of emissions.
The Petroleum Refinery MACT standard applies to petroleum refining process units and
related emission points. The standard MACT includes testing, monitoring, reporting,
recordkeeping, and control requirements. Requirements in the MACT standard include
control of HAP emissions from the following emission points within petroleum refining
process units: process vents, storage vessel loading, wastewater collection and treatment
systems, gasoline loading racks, marine tank vessel
loading, and equipment leaks. There are two
general approaches to comply with the MACT
standard's control requirements:
(1) Implement controls on all emission points that
meet the criteria for control in the rule; or
(2) Use a method called emissions averaging.
This method allows the facilities flexibility to
choose certain emission points for control in
order to achieve the required emissions
reductions in the most cost-effective manner. In
some situations, facilities may find it more cost-

Who Will Be Affected By The
Petroleum Refinery MACT
Standard?
There are approximately 165
petroleum refineries as of
January 1,1997 in the United
States, all of which are
anticipated to be major
sources of HAPs, and
therefore, may be subject to
this regulation.

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
effective to overcontrol certain emission points and undercontrol others, so r i tr,c
overall result would be greater emissions reductions at less control cost. Tnt M AC "i
standard spells out how facilities may use emissions averaging and which emissio<
points may be included. This approach can only be used for existing sources A
detailed explanation of emissions averaging is found in Chapter 4 of this manual.
Blinder the Petroleum Refinery MACT standard, the term "source" refers to trie
entire refinery, whereas under New Source Performance Standards {NSPS;
and State Implementation Plans (SIPs), sources are most commonly process
units. The MACT standard applies only to major sources. Under the MACT
standard, there are different requirements depending on whether the facility is an exis, /
source or a new source. The MACT Standard defines existing and new source^ a-
follows:
Existing sources - sources that commenced construction on or before July 14 1994
New sources - sources that commenced construction after July 14,1994. A process unit
constructed at an existing source is subject to new source requirements if the new unit has
the potential to emit 10 tons per year (tpy) or more of any one HAP or25tpy o> 'no e 0?
total HAPs. Otherwise it is subject to the requirements applicable to existing sources. A
change to an existing source or an addition of an emission point is subject to existing
source standards, unless it is a reconstructed source, which is subject to new s.n.roe
standards.
This chapter provides an overview of the major elements of the rule, including genera1
applicability, control requirements, and compliance deadlines. General information or
testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping is given in Chapter 3 and a detailed
discussion of individual emission points is found in Chapter 4.

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
The affected source is the combination of all the emission points located at a refinery, and
each point is considered part of the single affected source. The MACT standard also
applies only to major sources as defined by Section 112(a) of the Clean Air Act with the
potential to emit hazardous air pollutants. For clarification on whether a source is a major
source, see Appendix E. Figure 2-1 gives an example of each of the emission points

2.2 How Does A Facility Determine the Emission Points to Which the

The introduction to this chapter presented how a facility determines if it is classified as an
existing or newsource. Once this determination has been made, a facility must assess
whether it meets the criteria for requiring controls on its emission points. TABLE 2-2

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
presents the control applicability criteria for each type of emission point. Emission points
that meet these criteria are called Group 1 emission points, while all other emission points
are called Group 2 emission points. Group 1 emission points are subject to all applicable
requirements of the MACT standard. Group 2 emission points are not subject to the
control or monitoring requirements of the MACT standard. However, Group 2
emission points are subject to certain recordkeeping requirements.

TABLE 2-3 summarizes the control requirements for emission points meeting the criteria
in TABLE 2-2, Please note that while TABLE 2-3 provides an inclusive (as of
September 1997) summary of the control requirements for these emissions points,
specific requirements can be found in the referenced section of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
2.4 When Must A Facility Comply?
The MACT standard specifies the dates by which each emission point at new and existing
sources must be in compliance with the control requirements. All emission
points at new sources must be in compliance at startup or by August 18,1995, whichever
is later.
There is a specific compliance date for each emission point at existing sources.
Miscellaneous process vents and gasoline loading racks have a compliance date of
August 18,1998. Wastewater streams also have a compliance date of August 18,1998,
and sources should be in compliance with the benzene waste operations NESHAP found
in 40 CFR 61 Subpart FF.
Fixed roof storage vessels must be in compliance by August 18,1998 as well; however,
the preamble suggests compliance by August 18, 1999 if the tank must be replaced.

Floating roof storage vessels have a compliance date of August 18,2005, or the next
scheduled maintenance and degassing after August 18,1998, whichever is first.
Marine tank vessel loading must be in compliance by August 18,1999, unless used in
emissions averaging. If used to generate credit in an emissions average, it must comply
by August 18,1998, unless a case-by-case 1-year extension is granted.
A compliance late of A jgust 18,1998 is set for equipment leaks. Sources have the
option of complying with 40 CFR 60 Subpart W or 40 CFR 63 Subpart H, which allows for
3 phases of emissions reductions. (See Chapter 4 for more detailed information on
compliance dates for equipment leaks.)
2.5 Conclusions
Chapter 2 provided an overview of the MACT Standard answering the questions of which
facilities must comply; what facilities must do to comply, and when must they comply. The
overview defined the applicability of the MACT Standard to affected sources, and the
various types of emission points associated with the affected sources. Chapter 2 also
defined the control requirements applicable to the various emission points, noting which
points are required to maintain control equipment, and the types of control or associated
emission limit. Finally, Chapter 2 provided compliance deadlines for each category of
emission point. After reviewing the applicability determination flow charts in Chapter 2, a
facility should be able to determine whether the general requirements to be discussed in
Chapter 3, or the specific requirements in Chapter 4 will apply.

3. General Standards
Once the refinery has determined which of its emission points are required to comply with
the Petroleum Refinery MACT standard (MACT standard), the refinery must determine the
specific requirements applicable to each emission point. While the control requirements
are specific to each type of emission point at the refinery, the MACT standard also
contains general provisions that are applicable to
all emission points. These general requirements
include performance testing, monitoring', reporting,
and recordkeeping. In addition, some reporting
requirements apply only to refineries conducting
certain activities.
Chapter 3 discusses the general requirements
applicable to all emission points at refineries.
Chapter 4 describes the control requirements
applicable only to specific emission points, as well
as emissions averaging - an alternative method to controlling emissions.
3.1 What are the Performance Testing Requirements That Must Be Met By
All Regulated Emission points?
All facilities are required to conduct an initial performance test of certain pollution control
equipment. (No performance tests are required for floating roofs or process heaters > 44
MW with vent introduced into the flame zone.) These initial performance tests must be
approved by EPA. To conduct the test, the facility must:
• Notify regulatory authority 30 days prior to conducting a performance test [40 CFR
63.642(d)(2)]
• Conduct tests at maximum representative operating capacity, with controls operating at
either maximum or minimum representative operating conditions for monitored
parameters, whichever result in lower emission reduction [40 CFR 63.642 (d)(3)].
General requirements for all
emission points include:
performance testing, monitoring,
reporting (including permit
applications and notifications of
compliance status), and
recordkeeping.

3.2 What are the Monitoring Requirements For All Regulatid Emission
points?
Monitoring is required for some Group 1 emission points. Requirements range frorr once
an hour for miscellaneous process vents routed to a flare, to no monitoring requirements
for Group 1 storage vessels equipped with an external floating roof. Specific monitoring
requirements for each process unit are presented in Chapter 4.
3.3 What are the Reporting Requirements For All Regulated Emission
Points?
Reporting requirements range from permit applications, and initial notification o<
compliance status, to those requesting compliance extensions. With the exceptor
periodic reports, all reports are one-time submittals, or one time per incident submittals
The following types of information/reports must be submitted, where applicable fc r ea~-
emission point to the appropriate EPA Regional Office [40 CFR 63.13](See Appendix H
for a list of EPA Regional Offices);
• Permit Applications
• Applications for Approval of Construction or Reconstruction
• Notification of Compliance Status
• Periodic Reports
• Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Reports
• Reports Required for Special Situations
• Requests for Extension of Compliance
• Applications for a Performance Test Waiver.

333 What are the Requirements for Notification of Compliance Status (NCS)?
All refineries are required to inform EPA of their compliance status with respect to the
MACT standard. Facilities must submit a NCS report within 150 days after each
applicable compliance deadline. (See Section 2.4 of this manual for compliance dates.)
There are two exceptions: When a new Group 1 emission point is added or a floating roof
storage vessel is brought into compliance, the NCS may be included in the next periodic
report.1 The report must identify each emission point and method of compliance. This
information may be included as a separate report, as an operating permit application, or ii
an amendment to an operating permit application. [40 CFR 63.654(f)] NCS report
requirements include the following:
• Determination of rule applicability to flexible operation units and storage vessels and
distillation units for which use varies from year to year [40 CFR 63.654(h)(6)]1
• Information on individual emission points to demonstrate compliance, such as range of
monitored parameters. [40 CFR 63.654(f)(1) and (f)(3)]
• Results of continuous monitoring system performance evaluations. [40 CFR
63.654(f)(4)]
• If initial performance tests are required, one example complete test report for each test
method used must be submitted. For additional tests using the same method, only the
results must be submitted. [40 CFR 63.654 (f)(2)]
33.4 What are Periodic Reports, and When are They Required?
Periodic reports are required only if compliance exceptions occur within any 6-month
reporting period. If compliance exceptions do occur, periodic reports must be submitted.
The reports must be submitted within 60 days after the end of each 6- month period. If

emission point.) If a performance test is done for an emission point that is addec c»
changed from Group 2 to Group 1, include the results, such as percent emission -
reduction or concentration, in the next periodic report. [40 CFR 63.654(g)(7)]
3.3.5 What are the Requirements for Startup,
Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan and
Reports?
The cessation of a process
unit for maintenance,
repair, or equipment
replacement
Any malfunction cf a
process unit.
All refineries must develop and implement a startup,
shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP) for the entire
facility, with the exception of wastewater stream
management units. An SSMP is not required for
wastewater stream management units unless they
receive streams subject to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart G.
The malfunction plan must describe procedures for
operating and maintaining the source during periods
of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. In addition, the
plan must include a program of corrective action for
malfunction of process and air pollution control equipment used to comply with ne reievar
standard. EPA typically defines malfunctions as rare, unforeseeable occurrer ;
does not allow for facilities to operate in malfunction for extended periods of tin?
If corrective actions to address the malfunction are consistent with the startup, sh*/ jo-,--
and malfunction plan, submit a statement to this effect in the semi-annual repc . MO (J ^

If a malfunction does not occur during a reporting period, a startup, shutdown, and
malfunction report is not required.
33.6 What are Reports Required for Special Siiuations?
The MACT standard has detailed requirements for testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping.
However, the rule allows for flexibility in meeting these requirements. If facilities intend to
use alternative procedures or devices, additional reports and approvals are required. For
these facilities, the following information must be submitted 18 months before the
compliance date for existing sources, or with the. application for approval of construction
for new sources:
• Request for approval to monitor an alternative control device operating parameter, with
supporting justification [40 CFR 63.654(h)(4)]
• Request for approval to use data compression systems instead of keeping hourly
records, with supporting information [40 CFR 63.654(h)(5)]
* Request to use other alternative monitoring methods, with supporting justification [40
CFR 63.654(h)(5)(iv) and 63.8(f)(4)(ii)]
* Request to establish an alternative emission standard, with a test plan or results of
testing and monitoring. [40 CFR 63.6(g)(2)] (If EPA finds the alternative standard
equivalent to the MACT standard, EPA will request public comment and publish a
Federal Register notice allowing its use.)

3.5 Conclusions
Chapter 3 discussed the general requirements of the MACT Standard (i.e., those
requirements applicable to all regulated emission points). The chapter presented the
requirements for performance testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping that apply
to all regulated emission points. For each of these requirements, Chapter 3 discussed
only those requirements that apply to every emission point. Additional requirements
applicable to individual emission points are discussed in Chapter 4.

4. Emission Points Subject to the Regulation
This chapter summarizes the detailed testing, monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping
requirements specific to each emission point regulated by the MACT standard. In
addition, control requirements for each emission point are described. Unless otherwise
noted, the requirements in Chapter 4 apply only to Group 1 emissions points. With few
exceptions, Group 2 emissions points are subject only to record keeping requirements.
Chapter 4 discusses each of the regulated emission points (i.e., miscellaneous process
vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams, gasoline loading racks, marine tank vessel
loading, and equipment leaks) presenting the applicable requirements. Chapter 4
concludes with a discussion emissions averaging and how this technique can be used by
existing sources in lieu of complying with the applicable control requirements for the
individual emission points. Please note that this chapter does not discuss the
details of all of the MACT Standard requirements for each of these regulated
emissions points. In particular, in the discussion of storage vessels, wastewater
streams, gasoline loading racks, marine tank vessels and equipment leaks this chapter
references other sections of the federal code of regulations to which the refinery may be
required to comply. For further detail on the referenced sections, see the
appropriate section of the Code of Federal Regulations.
4.1 What are the Requirements for Miscellaneous Process Vents?
Once the refinery has determined which process vents are subject to the MACT standard,
the refinery must then determine the requirements applicable to each vent. These
requirements include controls, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping. To determine if a
process vent is subject to the MACT standard, refer to the applicability flowchart for
miscellaneous process vents in Chapter 2.
4.I.I What are the Control Requirements for Miscellaneous Process Vents?
If a vent meets the applicability criteria, it must be controlled by:
• Using a flare; or
November 1, 2000
4-1
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidanct
• Reducing organic HAPs by 98% or to 20 ppmv using incinerators, boile's process
heaters, or other devices; or
• If a boiler or process heater is used, the vent stream must be introduced into the
flame zone of the control device, or in a location such that the required percent
reduction or concentration is achieved.
The following sections discuss the applicable testing, monitoring, reporting anc
recordkeeping requirements associated with each of these control methods.
4.1.2 What are the Testing Requirements for Miscellaneous Process Vents?
The MACT standard requires that
miscellaneous process vents be controlled by
routing the vents to a flare, incinerator, boiler,
process heater, other approved device, or
bypass lines. Some control devices for
miscellaneous process vents are required to
be tested during a one-time initial
performance test, and in follow-up tests in the
event of process changes. This performance
test must confirm that control equipment is
operating properly, and that emissions are
within specified limits. While some of the
components of the test are similar for all
miscellaneous process vents, the MACT
standard also applies testing requirements based on the control device as descnoeri
below.
Initial Performance Tests
Miscellaneous Process Vents are
to be Controlled if:
• It is an existing source, and the
vent contains 20 ppmv or more
of organic HAPs, and emits 33
kg/day or more of VOCs
• It is a new source, and the ven!
contains 20 ppmv or more of
organic HAPs, and emits 6.8
kg/day or more of VOCs.
Novernbe; 1
4-2
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
Initial performance tests are required for vents routed to a flare and vents using other
approved control devices. When performance tests are required, the test measures
whether equipment is operating according to manufactuier specifications, or whether
equipment is meeting a specified emissions reduction. Vents routed to a flare have
testing requirements designed to measure whether equipment is operating properly, while
other categories of process vents must have more sophisticated equipment that measures
the level of emissions from each controlled vent. Performance tests are not required to
determine percent reduction when a
flare is used.
For vents routed to a flare, the initial
performance test must show that the
flare is operating properly, and that
the emission rate does not exceed
the capacity of the flame to control the
emissions. Based on these criteria,
the initial performance test is required
to measure the following:
• Emissions visibility (There
should be no visible
emissions.)
• Net heat value of combusted gas.
• Flow rate of gases being combusted.
For vents routed to an incinerator or a boiler or process heater < 44 Megawatts (MW) (150
MMBtu/hr) where the vent streams are net introduced into the flame zone of the boiler or
process heater, the initial performance test must show compliance with the requirement to
reduce organic HAPs by 98% or to 20 ppmv. [40 CFR 63.645 and 63.116 except (d) and
(e)]. The organic HAP concentration and percent reduction may be measured either as
total organic HAP or as total organic compounds (TOC) minus methane and ethane. The
sampling point varies depending on whether the facility is measuring total organic HAP or
TOC.
November 1, 2000
Performance tests are riot required for:
• Vents routed to a boiler or process
heater * 44 MW (150 MMBtu/hr)
• Vent streams that are introduced into the
flame zone of the boiler or process
heater
• A control device for which a
performance test was conducted for
determination of compliance with an
NSPS if no process changes have been
made.
4-3
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
Determining Compliance Using Total Organic HAP
Sample sites must be located at both the inlet and
outlet of the control device, but the inlet sampling site
must be located after the final product recovery
device. If a process vent stream is introduced with
the combustion air or as a secondary fuel into a
boiler or process heater with a design capacity < 44
MW, selection of the location of the inlet sampling
site is required to ensure the measurement of total
organic HAP or TOG (minus methane and ethane)
concentrations in all process vent streams and
primary and secondary fuels introduced into the
boiler or process heater.
Determining Compliance Using TOC
As noted above, for vents that must show organic
HAP reduction, owners and operators can measure
that reduction either as total organic HAP or as TOC
minus methane and ethane. To measure the
reduction as TOC minus methane and ethane, the
refinery first must determine TOC according to the
procedures specified below.

traverses for stationary sources with small stacks or ducts. Traverse site selection
methods are not needed for vents smaller than 0.10 meter in diameter.
Follow-up Tests to Process Changes
For Group 2 process vents, whenever the
refinery conducts a process change, the TOC
emission rate must be recalculated to determine
whether the vent remains a Group 2 process
vent or becomes a Group 1 process vent.
Recalculation may be based on vent stream flow
rate and TOC measurements as specified for
initial performance tests or best engineering
assessment practices.
4.1.3 What are the Mohftoring
Requirements for Miscellaneous
Process Vents?
Monitoring devices are not required for boilers
or process heaters > 44MW or in which all vent
streams are introduced into the flame zone. The type and frequency of monitoring
depends on the type of combustion device. All continuous monitoring devices must be
installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer specifications.
Table 4-1 lists the type of monitoring required for each combustion device. Refineries with
Group 1 miscellaneous process vents may request approval to monitor parameters other
than those listed in Table 4-1 if the refinery uses a control device other than an incinerator,
boiler, process heater, or flare, or wants to monitor a parameter other than those specified
in the table. Refineries that use a vent system with bypass lines have separate
requirements that are described in Table 4-2.
For facilities using other approved control devices, or requesting to monitor other
parameters, a site-specific determination can be requested from the permitting authority.

This section discusses the two reports with
specific requirements for miscellaneous
process vents: Notice of Compliance Status
reports, and Periodic reports.
Notice of Compuance Status Report
As noted in Chapter 3, all refineries are required
to submit a Notice of Compliance Status report.
The NCS may be submitted in an operating
permit application, an amendment to an
operating permit application, a separate
submittal, or any combination of the three. If the
required information has been submitted at an
earlier date, or at different times, and/or in
different submittals, later submittals may refer to
earlier submittals instead of duplicating and
resubmitting previously submitted information.

Notice of Compliance Status reports
are required at startup, or within 150
days of an applicable compliance
deadline. If the refinery submits an
NCS report prior to the compliance
deadline, it does not need to submit
an additional report within 150 days
of the deadline. It does, however
need to send a letter to the
Administrator referencing the earlie^
notification.
For example, if a new facility submits j
an NCS report at startup in 1995 :•
is required to submit a letter referring
to the NCS (and noting that nc
process changes have occurred,
when an applicable 1998
compliance deadline occurs.

Petroleum Refinery MACT Standard Guidance
Information required to be included in the NCS depends on the type of emission point. For
all miscellaneous process vents, the NCS must identify each vent, whether the process
vent is Group 1 or Group 2, and, for each Group 1 vent that is not included in an emissions
average, the method of compliance (e.g., use of a flare or other control device meeting the
requirements of the MACT standard). [40 CFR 63.643(a)]
In addition, miscellaneous process vents with control devices required to be tested under
the MACT standard must submit information on each testing method, and results of the
performance test since there are different requirements for each test and test method
used. Supporting information required for each test method used is indicated in the box
below. Test results must include the following information:
• The percentage reduction of organic
HAPs or TOC or the outlet
concentration of organic HAPs or TOC
(ppm by volume on a dry basis
corrected to 3 percent oxygen),
determined as specified in 40 CFR
63.116(c)
• For vents controlled by flares, all-visible
emission readings, heat content
determinations, flow rate
measurements, and exit velocity
determinations made during the
compliance determination [40 CFR
63.654(f)(1)(iv)(A)]
• For vents controlled by flares, a
statement of whether a flame was
present at the pilot light over the full
period of the compliance determination

Periodic reports are required only if the refinery experiences any compliance except'uns c
periods of excess emissions. Periods of excess emissions are defined as showr. in
box on the following page. Compliance exceptions include any of the exceptions
described in Section 3.3. Compliance exceptions and periods of excess emissions ac
not include periods of startup, shutdown, malfunction, performance testing and monitoring
system calibration.
If Periodic Reports Are Required, When Must They Be Submitted?
Periodic reports must be submitted no later than 60 days after the end of each 6-month
period when any compliance exceptions occur. (The first 6-month period begins on the
date the NCS report is required to be submitted.) Quarterly reporting is requireo ' tne
refinery uses emissions averaging, which is discussed in Section 4.7 below.
What Must Be Included In Periodic Reports?
Generat contents of periodic reports are described in Chapter 3. For miscellaneous
process vents, periodic reports must also include excess emissions for the operating
parameters applicable to the vents (either parameters in Table 4-4 of this manual, or
others specified by the permitting authority).
What is a Period of Excess Emissions?
1) An operating day when the daily average value of a monitored parameter, excepi presence
of a flare or pilot flame, is outside the range specified in the NCS.
2) For each vent routed to a flare, operating days when all plot flames of a flare are abser

4.2 What are the Requirements for Storage Vessels?
November 1, 2000
4-13
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
Group 1 storage vessels covered by the MACT standard include vessels storing orgs-,!:
liquids that contain organic HAPs. In order to determine if a storage vessel is subject to tht
MACT standard, refer to the applicability flowchart for storage vessels in Chapter 2
The HAP weight percent criteria may be determined using engineering judgement or tes;
results. The vapor pressure criteria may be determined by using one of the following
• Information in standard reference texts
• Methods described in API publication 2517 (Evaporative Loss from Externa; Floating-
Roof Tanks)
• Tests conducted using ASTM Method D2879-83
• Any other approved method.
4.2.1 What are the Control Requirements for Storage Vessels?
Storage vessels, that store a liquid with a maximum true vapor pressure of total organic
HAPs < 76.6 kPa, must be controlled by one of the following control methods [40 CFR
63.119(a)(1)]:
Floating Roofs
(1) Internal floating roof with specified seals; or
(2) External floating roof with specified seals; or
(3) External floating roof converted to internal floating roof with specified seals, (i.e . fixed
roof installed above the external floating roof)
Closed Vent Systems
November 1 200^
4-14
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidsnce
(4) Closed vent system routed to a flare or other control device that reduces HAP
emissions by 95% or to 20 ppmv.
Storage vessels that store a liquid with a maximum true vapor pressure of total organic
HAPs > 76.6 kPa must be controlled by a closed vent system and control device. [40 CFR
63.119(a)(2)] In addition, work practices, as specified in 40 CFR 63.119(b) through (e),
must be followed for each of the control methods.
The above control methods apply to both existing and new sources. For storage vessels
at new sources, deck fitting controls, as specified in 40 CFR 63.119(c)(2)(l) through (xii),
must be installed on all floating roof tanks. In addition, the control requirements of 40 CFR
63.119(b)(5) and (b)(6) also apply.
As indicated above, the four control methods for storage vessels generally fit into two
categories for testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The first
three methods fall under the category of floating roofs, while the last item is in the category
of closed vent systems with control device. Although some of the requirements described
below are specific to individual control methods within the two categories, most of the
requirements apply to all control methods within each of the two categories.
4.2.2 What are the Testing Requirements for Storage Vessels?
As with other emission points, certain storage vessels are required to be tested during an
initial performance test, and follow-up tests in the event of process changes. This initial
test is required to ensure that the control equipment is operating properly, and that
emissions are within specified limits.
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system routed to control device, an initial
performance test must be performed. However, there are no testing requirements for
storage vessels equipped with a floating roof.

-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guid3nct
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system routed to a flare, testing
requirements include an initial performance test or compliance determination, as specifier
in 40 CFR 63.11(b), to ensure compliance with the control requirement to reduce tota:
organic HAP emissions by 95% or to 20 ppmv. The test must include the
measurement/determination of the following:
• Emissions visibility
• Net heat value of combusted gas
• Flow rate of gases being combusted
• Exit velocity.
Closed Vent System Routed to a Control Device Other Than a Flare
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system routed to a control device other
than a flare, testing requirements include either an initial design evaluation, as specified ir
40 CFR 63.120(d)(1 )(l), or an initial performance test, as specified in 40 CFR
63.120(d)(1 )(ii).
4.2.3 What are the MoNnoRiNG and Inspection Requirements for Storage Vessels?
For storage vessels that must apply controls, there are monitoring and inspection
requirements to ensure continuing compliance with the control requirements. The
requirements vary according to the control method used, with similarities for all closed ven,
systems and similarities for all floating roofs.
Monitoring Requirements
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system, the facility must monitor tht
parameters proposed in the Notice of Compliance Status report to ensure that the contro:
device is being properly operated and maintained. There are no monitoring requirement-
for storage vessels equipped with floating roofs.

Inspection Requirements
Closed Vent Systems
Inspections of control equipment are also required periodically to demonstrate compliance
with the control requirements. For a closed vent system routed to a control device, the
facility must inspect the closed vent system, as specified in 40 CFR 63.148, every 12
months.
Floating Roofs
Storage vessels with floating roofs may have a single-seal system or a double-seal
system. For vessels with a double seal, the requirements for the secondary (outer) seal do
not apply when gaps in the primary (inner) seal are being measured. For storage vessels
equipped with a fixed roof and an internal floating roof or an external floating roof converted
to an internal floating roof, the following inspection requirements apply for each type of seal
system:
Single-Seal System
/ Visually inspect the internal floating roof and primary seal through manholes and
roof hatches at least once every 12 months after initial fill, or at least every 12
months after the compliance date.
/ Visually inspect the internal floating roof and primary seal each time the storage
vessel is emptied and degassed and at least once every 10 years after the
compliance date.
/ Visually inspect gaskets, slotted membranes, and sleeve seal (if any) each time
the storage vessel is emptied and degassed and at least once every 10 years after
the compliance date (new source only).
Double-Seal System
/ Visually inspect the internal floating roof, primary seal, and secondary seal each
time the vessel is emptied and degassed and at least once every 5 years after the

For storage vessels equipped with an external floating roof, the facility must visually inspect
the external floating roof, the primary and secondary seals, and fittings each time tne
vessel is emptied and degassed. In addition, the following inspection requirements appK
for each type of seal system:
Single-Seal System
/ Measure the gaps between the vessel wall and the primary seal by the compliance
date and at least once a year, until a secondary seal is installed. When a
secondary seal is installed, measure gaps between the vessel wall and both the
primary and secondary seal within 90 calendar days of installation, and then comply
with the double-seal inspection requirements below. [40 CFR 63.120(b)(1)(ii)]
Double-Seal System
/ Measure the gaps between the vessel wall and the primary seal during hydrostatic
testing or by the compliance date and at least once every 5 years thereafter
/ Measure the gaps between the vessel wall and the secondary seal by the
compliance date and at least once a year.
4.2.4 What are the Reporting Requirements for Storage Vessels?
Reporting requirements for storage vessels include Notice of Compliance Status reports,
periodic reports, and internal inspection notification. As with testing and monitonng
reporting requirements for storage vessels include some requirements applicable to at,
four control methods, some requirements applicable to the two general control categories
{i.e., closed vent systems and floating roofs), and some requirements specific to individua

control methods. The following subsections discuss the specific information required for
storage vessels in each of these reports.
Notice of Compliance Status Report
Section 3.3.3 of this manual lays out the basic requirements for a NCS report. The MACT
standard sets out additional NCS requirements for storage vessels equipped with closed
vent systems, but not for storage vessels with floating roofs.
Closed Vent System Routed to a Flare
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system routed to a flare, the NCS must
also contain the results of the initial performance test, including:
« Flare design, such as steam-assisted, air-assisted, or non-assisted
• Visible emissions readings
• Heat content determinations
• Flow rate measurements
• Exit velocity determinations
• Periods during the compliance determination when the pilot flame is absent.
Closed Vent System Routed to a Control Device Other Than a Flare

results of the initial performance test including identification of emission point;
sharing the control device.
Periodic Reports
As mentioned previously in this
section and in Chapter 3,
periodic reports are only
required if compliance
exceptions occur. The
information required in
periodic reports falls into the 2
general categories of control
methods: closed vent systems
and floating roofs, with a few
additional requirements for
external floating roofs.
Closed Vent Systems
Routed To Any Control
Device
For storage vessels equipped
with a closed vent system
routed to a control device,
periodic reports must include a
description of the following:
* Routine maintenance
for the control device
that was performed
during the previous 6
months
What Are Compliance Exceptions For Storage
Vessels?
Compliance exceptions refer to the following failures
or defects in the control equipment:
* Floating roof not resting on the surface of the liquid
inside the vessel and not resting on the leg
supports
• Liquid floating on the floating roof
• Seal detached from the floating roof
• Holes, tears, or other oponings in the seal or
seal fabric
• Visible gaps between the seal and the wall of
the vessel
• Gaskets no longer close off the liquid surface
from the atmosphere
• Slotted membrane has more than a 10% open
area (new source only).
Compliance exceptions also include occurrences
when monitored parameters are outside the
parameters established in the NCS.

-------
Petroleum He finery MACT Standard Guidance
• Routine maintenance anticipated for the control device for the next 6 months
• For a control device that is a flare, each occurrence and cause when the
requirements specified in 40 CFR 63.11(b) are not met
• For a control device other than a flare, each occurrence and cause of monitored
parameters being outside the ranges documented in the NCS.
Floating Roofs
For storage vessels equipped with any type of floating roof, periodic reports must contain
the results of each inspection in which a failure was detected. Periodic reports must
include the following information:
• Date of inspection
• Identification of the storage vessel
• Description of the failure
• Nature and date of repair or date the vessel was emptied.
If a failure or defect is detected during inspection, the facility must repair or empty and
remove the vessel from service within 4'5 days. If the vessel cannot be repaired or emptied
within 45 days, the facility may utilize up to 2 extensions of up to 30 additional days each. If
an extension is used, periodic reports must also include the following information:
• Description of the failure
• Statement that alternate storage capacity is unavailable
• Schedule of actions that will ensure that the control equipment will be repaired or
the vessel will be emptied as soon as possible.
Additional reporting requirements for storage vessels equipped with an external floating
roof include notifying the Administrator 30 days in advance of any gap measurement.
Results of each gap measurement in which the requirements of 40 CFR 63.120(b)(3), (4),
(5), or (6) are not met must also be reported in the periodic reports. Such results must
include the following information:
November 1, 2000

• Date of seal gap measurement
• Raw data and calculations described in 63.120(b)(5) or (6)
• Description of seal conditions that are not met
• Nature and date of repair or date the vessel was emptied.
Periodic reports should also include a Notification of Compliance Status (NCS) report if s
floating roof storage vessel is brought into compliance during the reporting period 1
The NCS must include the following information:
• The method of compliance for each storage vessel brought into compliance
• The expected compliance date for all floating roof storage vessels subject to control
requirements that are not yet in compliance (floating roof storage vessels have unti'
August 15, 2005 or the next scheduled emptying and degassing to be brought into
compliance).
• For floating roof vessels that are in compliance, the actual compliance date
Internal Inspection Notification
The third category of reporting directly applicable to storage vessels is notifying the
Administrator of scheduled internal inspections and refilling of empty storage vessels with
organic HAPs. Refineries are required to notify the Administrator at least 30 calendar
days prior to filling or refilling each storage vessel with organic HAPs. The 30-da>
notification is required except if:
• The internal inspection required by 40 CFR 1209(a)(2), 63.1299(a)(3), en
63.120(b)(10) is not planned, and
• The owner/operator of the refinery could not have known about the inspection 30
calendar days in advance of refilling the vessel with organic HAPs.
1This requirement reflects an amendment to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart CC made on August 18
1998. For more information, see Appendix G.
November 1. 2000

-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
If the inspection is not planned and the owner/operator could not have known about it in
advance, the Administrator (nust be notified at least 7 calendar days prior to refilling the
storage vessel. Notification may be made by telephone and immediately followed by
written documentation demonstrating why the inspection was unplanned. The notification
may also be made in writing provided that it is received by the Administrator at least 7
calendar days prior to the refilling.
If tie State or local permitting authority has received delegation of the Refinery MACT (not
all states have as of August 1997), they can waive the notification requirements for all or
some storage vessels at petroleum refineries. The State or local permitting authority may
also grant permission to refill storage vessels sooner than 30 days after submitting the
required notification under 40 CFR 64.654(h)(2)(i)(A) or sooner than 7 days after
submitting the notification under 40 CFR 64.654(h)(2)(i)(B) on a case-by-case basis.
4.2.5 What are the Recordkeeping Requirements for Storage Vessels?
There are recordkeeping requirements common to all storage vessels, as well as some
recordkeeping requirements specific to the different control methods. For all storage
vessels, it is necessary to maintain records of Group 1 or Group 2 determinations, vessel
dimensions, and analysis of capacity. In addition, all information required to be reported
must be retained for 5 years.
Closed Vent Systems Routed To Any Control Device
For storage vessels equipped with a closed vent system routed to a control device,
additional recordkeeping requirements include:
• Complete test report for initial performance test results
• Measured values of monitored parameters

4.3 What are the Requirements for Wastewater Streams?
In order to determine if a wastewater stream is subject to the MACT Standard, refer to the
applicability flowchart for wastewater streams in Chapter 2. Refineries in compliance -viU
the benzene waste NESHAP [40 CFR 61 Subpart FF] are considered to be in compliance
with the refinery MACT standard. Provisions of the benzene waste NESHAP apply to the
following wastewater streams at petroleum refineries:
(1) Total benzene loading ^ 10 Mg per year, and
(2) Flow rate ^ .02 liters per minute, and
(3) Benzene concentration ^ 10 ppm by weight, and
(4) Not exempt from controls under the benzene waste NESHAP.
4.3.1 What are the Control Requirements for Wastewater Streams?
Wastewater streams meeting the applicability criteria above are required to comply wiU
the control requirements of the benzene waste NESHAP [40 CFR 61 Subpart FF] F her-'
control requirements include the following:
• Wastewater streams must reduce benzene mass emissions by 99% by using
suppression followed by steam stripping, biotreatment, or other treatment process

outlet of the control device.
43.2 What are the Testtng Requirements for Wastewater Streams?
All wastewater streams must comply with the testing requirements of the benzene waste
NESHAP found in 40 CFR 61.340 through 61.355. These sections also specify the
frequency for which testing must be done. If required, periodic measurements of benzene
concentration in the wastewater must be performed.
4.3.3 What are the Monitoring Requirements for Wastewater Streams?
All wastewater streams must also comply with the monitoring requirements of the benzene
waste NESHAP found in 40 CFR 61.340 through 61.355. If required, monitoring of the
process or control device operating parameters must be performed.
4.3.4 What are the Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Wastewater
Streams?
All wastewater streams must comply with the reporting requirements of the benzene waste
NESHAP found in 40 CFR 61.356 and 61.357. [40 CFR 63.654(a)] In addition, all
information required to be reported must be retained for 5 years. [40 CFR 63.654(l)(4)]
Since affected sources should already be in compliance with 40 CFR 61 Subpart FF, they
will not need to make any changes to their current reporting and recordkeeping
procedures.
4.4 What are the Requirements for Gasoline Loading Racks?
In order to determine if a gasoline loading rack is subject to the MACT standard, refer to
the applicability flowchart for gasoline loading racks in Chapter 2.

Gasoline loading racks that are subject to the MACT standard must be in compliance w:'.r
the gasoline distribution facilities NESHAP found in 40 CFR 63 Subpart R, which requires
the following:
(1) Reduce emissions of total
organic compounds (TOC) to 10
milligrams per liter of gasoline
loaded; and
(2) Load gasoline only in vapor tight
cargo tanks that have been tested
to assure vapor tightness.
4.4.2 What are the Testing and
MoNrTORiNG Requirements
for Gasoune Loading Racks?
For all gasoline loading racks subject
to the MACT standard, the facility
must comply with the testing and
monitoring requirements of the
gasoline distribution facilities
NESHAP. These tests are found in
40 CFR 63.425(a) through (c)
(performance tests), 63.425(e)
(annual certification), 63.425(f) (leak
detection tests), 63.425(g) (nitrogen
pressure decay field tests), 63.425(h)
(continuous performance pressure
decay test) and 63.427 (continuous
monitoring).
Procedure For Initial Performance Testing
of Gasoline Loading Racks:
Initial performance tests must determine a
monitored operating parameter value for the
vapor processing system using the following
procedure:
1) During the performance test, continuously
record the operating parameters under 40
CFR 63.427.
2) Determine an operating parameter value
based on the parameter data monitored
during the performance test, supplemented
by engineering assessments and the
manufacturer's recommendations, and
3) Provide for the Administrator's approval the
rationale for the selected operating
parameter value, and monitoring frequency
and averaging time. This includes data and
calculations used to develop the value and a
description why the value, monitoring
frequency, and averaging time demonstrate
continuous compliance with the emission
standard in 40 CFR 63.422(b) or
60.112b(a)(3)(ii).

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
Initial Performance Test
The initial performance test is required to be conducted according to the test methods and
procedures in 40 CFR 60.503, except a reading of 500.ppm must be used to determine
the level of leaks to be repaired under 40 CFR 60.503.
For follow-up tests (required to be conducted following process changes), the refinery is
required to document the reasons for any change in the operating parameter value since
the previous test.
What If A Closed Vent System Is Used To Control Emissions?
If a closed vent system and control device, as specified in 40 CFR 60.112b(a)(3), is
required to comply with the control requirements for gasoline loading racks, initial

What If a Flare Is Used To Control Emissions?
If a flare is used, and emissions from the gasoline loading rack cannot be measured using
the methods specified in 40 CFR 60.503, the refinery is required to comply with the
provisions of 40 CFR 63.11 (b).
Annual Certification Tests
In addition to the initial performance test, gasoline cargo tanks are required to be tested
annually to certify that emissions controls are functioning properly. The annual
performance test must be conducted according to the vacuum and pressure tests
described in Method 27 of 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
Leak Detection Tests
During loading operations, the facility is required to
conduct a leak detection test for gasoline cargo
tanks according to Method 21 of 40 CFR 60

(40 CFR 63 Subpart H) (except for 63.182(b), (c)(2), and (c)(4)).
4.7 Emissiohs Averaging
The Petroleum Refinery NESHAP [40 CFR 63 Subpart CC] is stated as a source-wide
emissions allowance, as represented by the equation in 40 CFR 63.642. As mentioned in
Chapter 2, there are 2 general approaches for petroleum refineries to comply with the
MACT standard's control requirements for achieving the emissions allowance:
(1) Implement controls on all emission points, as discussed in the previous sections of this
chapter; or
(2) Use a method called emissions averaging, which allows flexibility in applying controls.
Emissions averaging allows facilities to overcontrol some emission points and
undercontrol others in order to achieve the required emissions reductions in the most cost-
effective manner. Additional flexibility is provided by permitting the use of emissions
averaging among petroleum refineries, gasoline distribution facilities, and marine terminal
loading operations located at the same site. Emissions averaging can only be used for
existing sources.
1This requirement reflects an amendment to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart CC made on August 18,
1998. For more information, see Appendix G.
November 1, 2000
4-31
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
4.7.1 Emissions Averaging Appucabiutv
Emissions averaging is allowed for miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels,
wastewater streams, gasoline loading racks, and marine tank vessel loading operation:- ¦
SIC 2911 at a refinery. Emissions averaging is not allowed across sources, such as
across different plant sites or'between refinery and HON sources (i.e., units having a
hazardous organic air pollutant as its primary product) at the same plant site. In additu;.
an emissions estimation is only required for points included in emissions averages, not fo>
all points in the source.
A limitation on the emissions averaging provision is that States have the authority to
disallow emission averaging and require the application of standard control requirement'
to all emission points.
4.7.2 Emissions Averaging Credit/Debit System
Emissions averaging provides a credit/debit system for calculating emissions to comply
with the overall emissions allowance. Facilities receive credits for overcontrol of emission
. points - control above what is required in Subpart CC, and debits for undercontrol of
emission points - control below what is required in Subpart CC. Emission credits ano
debits are calculated on a mass basis using equations in 40 CFR 63.652(g) and (h) to
estimate emissions based on actual operations. Credits calculated must be greater thai ;
or equal to debits calculated on an annual basis. [40 CFR 63.652(e)(3)] In addition,
debits may not exceed credits by more than 30% in any one quarter. [40 CFR 652(e)(4)
The following emission points can be used to generate emissions averaging credits [40
CFR 63.652(c)(1) through (3)]:
• Group 2 emission points
• Group 1 emission points controlled by technology with a higher nominal efficient,
than the reference control technology
November ". 2f;C
4-32
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
• Emission points from which emissions are reduced by pollution reduction
measures, alone or in conjunction with other controls, that get more emission
reduction than required
The following emission points cannot be used to generate emissions averaging credits [40
CFR 63.652(d)]:
• Emission points already controlled on or before November 15,1990, unless the
level of control was increased after November 15,1990. If so, credit is allowed for
the increase only
• Group 1 emission points that are controlled by a reference control technology,
unless the technology has been approved for use in a different manner and a higher
nominal efficiency has been assigned. For example, it is not allowable to claim that
an internal floating roof meeting only the specifications stated in the reference
control technology definition in 40 CFR 63.641 applied to a storage vessel is
achieving greater than 95 percent control
• Emission points on shutdown process units
• Emission points controlled to comply with a State or other Federal rule, unless the
level of control has been increased after November 15, 1990 above what is
required by the State or other Federal rule. If so, credit is allowed for the increase
only.
Debits are generated if the required level of control of a Group 1 emission point, such as
98% for miscellaneous process vents and 95% for storage vessels, is not achieved. [40
CFR 63.652(g)] (See Table 2.3 for required level of control.) Debits and credits are
calculated using formulas found in 40 CFR 63.652(g) and (h). Calculations may not
include emissions from the following:
• Wastewater that is not process wastewater or wastewater streams treated in
biological treatment units. Group 1 wastewater streams cannot be left
undercontrolled or uncontrolled to generate debits [40 CFR 63.652(d)(4)]
November 1, 2000
4-33
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACT Standard Guidance
• More than 20 individual emission points in addition to those controlled by poiiutic-
prevention measures. Where pollution prevention measures are used, no more
than 25 emission points total may be included in the average [40 CFR 63.652(f); 1)}
• Emission points during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction [40 CFR
63.652(f)(2)]
• Emission points for which continuous monitors are used and excess emissions
occur. [40 CFR 63.652(f)(3)] For these periods, the monthly credits and debits wi:
be adjusted as specified in 40 CFR 63.652(f)(3)(f) through (iii).
4.7.3 Approval of Emissions Averaging Plan
Facilities that wish to use emissions averaging to comply with the source-wide emissions,
allowance, must submit for approval an emissions averaging plan in the Implementation
Plan or Operating Permit Application. The plan must demonstrate that the credits will be
sufficient to offset the debits under representative operating conditions. [40 CFR
63.652(e)(3)(l)] The plan may include use of innovative technologies, different from the
reference control technology, provided that the innovative technologies achieve greater
than the level of control required for a Group 1 emission point. In addition, the facility must
include a risk assessment in the plan of any hazards or risks of the plan, such as the risk
from one large emission point versus the risk from combined emission points. Such
hazards and risks must be reviewed and compared to point-by-point compliance
4.7.4 Testing, Monitoring, Reporting, and Recordkeeping for Emissions Averaging
For each emission point included in an emissions average, facilities must perform testmr.
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping equivalent to the requirements for Group 1
emission points that are not included in emissions averaging. [40 CFR 63.653(a)! See
Chapter 3 for general requirements and previous sections in this chapter for emission
point specific requirements. One additional requirement is to maintain the monthly
calculations of debits and credits.
4.7.5 Recordkeeping for Emissions Averaging

Requirements for emissions averaging include maintaining the following:
« Initial performance test results (if applicable)
• Monthly debits, credits, and calculations using E'PA-specified calculation
procedures
« Operating parameter monitoring results.
4.8 Conclusions
Chapter 4 completed the discussion of requirements of the MACT standard by detailing
requirements that are specific to each emission point, and discussed the alternative
compliance method of emissions averaging. This chapter explained the requirements for
emissions from miscellaneous process vents, storage vessels, wastewater streams,
gasoline loading racks, marine tank vessel loading, and equipment leaks. For each type
of emission point, the chapter discussed control requirements, followed by an explanation
of testing, monitoring, reporting and record keeping requirements. The chapter concluded
by discussing how a facility could use emissions averaging to meet the requirements of the
standard, rather than control each emission point.

5. Interrelationship of the Petroleum Refinery MACT
Standard with Other Regulations
This chapter summarizes the interrelationship between the MACT standard and other
regulations. As described in previous chapters, the MACT standard requires that HAP
emissions be controlled from various emission points within the petroleum refinery. Some
of these emission points may also be subject to other existing regulations including the
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) or other NESHAPs. It was not EPA's intent
to have redundant regulations that put an undue burden on the owner/operator of a
petroleum refinery, but to allow sources to comply with only the most stringent regulation
which will demonstrate compliance with all applicable regulations.
The applicability of 40 CFR 63 Subpart CC versus 40 CFR 63 Subpart G, hazardous
organic NESHAP (HON), or some other MACT standard, to an emission point is
determined by the primary product produced at the unit The primary product is that
produced in the greatest mass or volume by the unit. For instance, if the unit produces a
hazardous organic as the primary product, then it is subject to the HON. If a unit is integral
to the petroleum refinery's operations, and produces hazardous organics in small
quantities, it is subject to the petroleum refining MACT standard.
EPA has also included a SIC code reference for petroleum refining (SIC 2911) in the
MACT Standard in order to clarify the applicability of the rule and reduce the potential
confusion of regulatory overlap.
The following describes the relationship of the MACT standard to existing regulations for
each process unit and related emission points:
Miscellaneous Process Vents: There are no existing regulations governing
miscellaneous process vents. Both Group 1 and Group 2 have to comply with the MACT
standard.
Storage Vessels: For storage vessels, there is an overlap between the MACT standard
and the following NSPS:

1978, but before July 7, 1984
• 40 CFR 60 Subpart Kb, performance stahdards'for volatile organic storage vessels
that have been modified after July 23,1984.
The control requirements in the MACT standard reference the storage vessel provisions in
40 CFR 63 Subpart G. The MACT standard is applicable to all new Group 1 storage
vessels and to existing facilities not governed by 40 CFR 60 Subpart Kb. For Group 2
storage vessels, if the control requirements of Subparts K, Ka or Kb do not apply, the
vessel is subject to Subpart CC. All units that are not subject to Subparts K, Ka or Kb are
subject to the MACT Standard.
Owners/operators of internal floating roof or external floating roof tanks are allowed to
defer upgrading their seals to meet the NESHAP requirements until the next scheduled
inspection and maintenance activity or within 10 years, whichever comes first.
Wastewater Streams: For wastewater streams, the following regulations are cross-
referenced in the MACT standard.
• 40 CFR 60 Subpart QQQ, performance standards for VOC emissions from
petroleum refinery wastewater systems
• 40 CFR 61 Subpart FF, benzene waste operations NESHAP (BWON)
• 40 CFR 63 Subpart G, synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI)
NESHAP (Subpart G).
New and existing sources in compliance with BWON are in compliance with the MACT
standard. The MACT standard is applicable only to Group 1 streams that are subject to 40
CFR 60 Subpart QQQ. For wastewater stream management units that receive streams
subject to the BWON and streams subject to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart G, the MACT
standard clarifies which provisions of the BWON and which provisions of Subpart G must
be complied with. The specific provisions of each regulation that apply are specified in

process units
• Modified 40 CFR 63 Subpart H, HON negotiated equipment leak stands-c

Appendix E. Definitions
Affected source means the combination of all emission points at a petroleum refinery.
Each point is considered part of the single affected source.
Boiler means any closed combustion device that extracts useful energy in the form of
steam and is not an incinerator.
Closed vent system means a system that is not open to the atmosphere and is
composed of piping, ductwork, connections, and, if necessary, flow inducing devices that
transport gas and vapor from an emission point to a control device or back into the
process. If gas or vapor from regulated equipment is routed to a process (e.g., petroleum
refinery fuel gas system), the process is not considered a closed vent system and is not
subject to the closed vent system standards.
Combustion device means an individual unit of equipment such as a flare, incinerator,
process heater, or boiler used for the combustion of organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
vapors.
Construction means the on-site fabrication, erection, or installation of an affected source.
Control device means any equipment used for recovering, removing, or oxidizing
hazardous organic pollutants (HAPs). Such equipment includes, but is not limited to,
absorbers, carbon absorbers, condensers, incinerators, flares, boilers, and process
heaters.
Deck fitting controls means the fittings that pass through or are attached to the deck or
roof of a floating roof tank, and include hatches, gauge floats, and support columns.
Controls may be installed to minimize evaporative losses from the fittings.
Double-seal system means a floating roof having both primary and secondary seals.
Dwell time means the time feeds spend in a reactor (allowing for reactions to occur) or the
time feeds or products spend in a tank.

Emissions averaging means a method of complying with emission limitations, w.nereb,
the affected source may create emission credits by reducing emissions from specific
points to a level below that required by the relevant standard, and those credits a- used
offset emissions from points that are not controlled to the level required by the rele vant
standard.

Appendix G. Recent Changes
On August 18, 1998, EPA amended the MACT standard. A summary of the changes
made through the amendments is provided in the preamble to the amendments'
(63 FR 44135) and below.
Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction Plans for Wastewater (Section 3.3.5)
The MACT standard was revised to clarify that a Startup, Shutdown Malfunction Plan
(SSMP) is not required for wastewater stream management units (unless the owner or
operator elects to comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart G.) The MACT standard
references the Benzene Waste Operations NESHAP for wastewater requirements. The
EPA did not intend to add additional requirements for wastewater beyond the Benzene
Waste Operations NESHAP.
Wastewater stream control requirements (Section 2, Table 2-3 and Section 5 Table
5-1)
Previously, wastewater stream management units that received streams subject to the
MACT standard and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart G (the HON) were required to comply with a
combination of requirements from 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart FF (the Benzene Waste
Operations NESHAP) and Subpart G. The standard was revised to allow
owners/operators the option to comply with only the requirements of Subpart G for
wastewater stream management units that receive both streams subject to Subpart G and
the MACT standard.
Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction Reports (Section 3.3.5)
Previously, refineries were required to report an action taken that is inconsistent with the
SSMP within two days of commencing the action and within seven days of completing the
action. These requirements have been replaced with the requirement to report actions
taken that are inconsistent with the SSMP in the next periodic report.

Clarification of Requirements for Installation and Calibration of Continuous
Monitoring Systems (CMS)
Previously, the MACT standard required a continuous monitoring system (CMS) to be
installed and calibrated according to manufacturer's specifications. This requirement has
been revised to allow procedures other than those specified by the manufacturer to be
followed.
Requirement to Record Signature Owner or Operator When Equipment Lea^
Repairs are Delayed (Section 4.6.3)
Previously, when an equipment leak was detected and could not be repaired wiv
15 days, the signature of the owner or operator (or designate) whose decision it was tnr.t
repair could not be affected was to be recorded. This requirement has been revise tc.
allow the name of the owner or operator (or designate) to be recorded instead
Exemption of Secondary Seal From Requirements During Primary Seal Gap
Measurements (Section 4.2.3)
The MACT standard was revised to extend the provision exempting secondary seais frcr.
seal gap requirements during primary seal gap measurements to storage vessels subject
to the Petroleum Refineries NESHAP that are to comply with Subpart Kb of 40 CFR Par
60. The EPA has determined the provision provides a necessary clarification that was not
considered in development of Subpart Kb.
Documentation of Compliance (Section 3.3.3 and 4.4.3)
Refineries with co-located gasoline loading racks that are subject to the MACT stands^
are generally required to comply with the requirements of the Gasoline Distribution MACT
(40 CFR Part 63 Subpart R), The Gasoline Distribution MACT references notifies:
requirements of the General Provisions. It was not clear when the Notification of
Compliance status was required for gasoline loading racks at petroleum refinerier Tht
requirement has been clarified to state that any notifications of compliance status requ're;

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
by the Gasoline Distribution MACT for gasoline loading racks co-located at refineries are
to be submitted within 150 days of the Petroleum Refinery NESHAP compliance date.
Revision of Notification of Compliance Status (NCS) Report Requirement for New
Group 1 Emission Point (Section 3.3.3)
Previously, facilities were required to provide a NCS report for a new Group 1 emission
point within 150 days of the change or addition of that point. The reporting requirements
are amended to allow the NCS report to be p rovided in the periodic report for the reporting
period in which the Group 1 emission point is added.
Semiannual Reporting of Inspection Results (Section 4.2.4)
For storage vessels complying with the reporting requirements of the MACT standard, if a
failure is detected during an inspection, it is required to be reported in the next periodic
report. Previously, for storage vessels complying with Subpart Kb or Subpart Ka, if a
failure is detected during an inspection, a report is to be provided to the Administrator
within 30 days or 60 days, respectively. Now, when a failure is detected during an
inspection of a storage vessel subject to the Petroleum Refineries NESHAP that is to
comply with Subpart Kb or Subpart Ka, the failure is to be reported in the next periodic
report.
Extensions for EFR Seal Gap Measurements
As discussed previously, storage vessels subject to the MACT standard and a new source
performance standard (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart K, Ka or Kb) are only required to comply
with one of the standards. Procedures are specified for external floating roof storage
vessels that must comply with the MACT standard to allow seal gap measurements to be
delayed if it is determined that it is unsafe to perform the measurement. Provisions allow
the gap measurements to be delayed for 30 days while the unsafe conditions are
corrected. If the unsafe conditions cannot be corrected within that time period, the vessel
is to be emptied within 45 days of the determination that the roof is unsafe. The owner or
operator may use up to two extensions of 30 days each to empty the tank. These
provisions have been extended to storage vessels complying with Subparts Ka and Kb.

Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
Extensions for Storage Vessel Repairs
In the MACT standard, when an internal floating roof is discovered to not meet trie
requirements of the standard, it must be repaired or the associated storage vesse! taken
out of service and emptied within 45 days. If a storage vessel cannot be emptied or
repaired within 45 days, the owner or operator may use up to two extensions of 30 days
each. If an extension is utilized, the owner or operator must, in the next periodic repot
identify the vessel, provide a description of the failure, document that alternate storage
capacity is unavailable, and specify a schedule of actions that will ensure that the centre
equipment will be repaired or the vessel will be emptied as soon as possible. Tnsf
requirement has been extended to vessels complying with Subpart Kb, which coes no-
include provisions to be followed in the event that a failure is detected during an inspects:
of a storage vessel control device and the storage vessel cannot be repaired or emptieo
within 45 days.
Definition of Gasoline (Appendix E)
A definition for gasoline was added to the definitions in the MACT standard. The definition
was taken from 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart XX Standards of Performance for Bu!>- r->a$r.i«r e
Terminals.
Report of Determination of Applicability for Flexible Operation Units and for
Distillation Columns and Storage Vessels for Which Use Varies (Section 3.3.3;
The MACT standard was revised to allow applicability determinations for flexible operation
units and distillation columns and storage vessels for which use varies to be reports r
initial Notification of Compliance Status report (rather than 18 months prior tc thf.
compliance date).
Compliance of Agitators with Equipment Leaks Provisions (Figure 2-7)
Currently, owners and operators of refineries can comply with the equipment leak:-
provisions of the MACT standard by complying with the equipment leaks prov^:-;rl ;. e'
Subpart H. Some of the referenced provisions of Subpart H refer to agitators ir, heavy
liquid service. It is possible that, due to the references to agitators in Subpart H, the MAC.T
standard could be interpreted as applying to agitators. The MACT standard was revised
Noveif-tiR' * ?00f.
G-4
-------
Petroleum Refinery MACTStandard Guidance
to specifically state that owners and operators are not required to comply with Subpart H.
for agitators in heavy liquid service.
Overlap of Subparts XX and R for Gasoline Loading Racks (Section 5)
The current MACT standard requires gasoline loading racks located at refineries to be in
compliance with the control requirements of 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart R National Emission
Standards for Gasoline Distribution Facilities. New gasoline loading racks are also
subject to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart XX New Source Performance Stardard (NSPS) for
Bulk Gasoline Terminals. It is currently possible for a gasoline loading rack at a petroleum
refinery to be subject to both Subparts R and XX. The MACT Standard was revised to
require petroleum refineries with gasoline loading racks subject to both Subparts R and
XX to comply with the control requirements of Subpart R.
Corrections to Miscellaneous Process Vent Equations
Following promulgation of the Petroleum Refineries NESHAP, two errors were discovered
in two equations to be used to calculate kilograms per day of volatile organic compounds
(VOC) in miscellaneous process vent streams. These errors have been corrected.
Revision of Notification of Compliance Status Report Requirement for Existing
Group 1 Storage Vessels Brought Into Compliance After August 18,1998
(Sections 3.3.3 and 4.2.4)
The MACT standard allows floating roof storage vessels to be brought into compliance up
to 10 years after August 18, 1998, the compliance date for other emission points. A
Notification of Compliance Status (NCS) report is required to be submitted when these
vessels are brought into compliance. Previously, it was not clear when the NCS report is
to be submitted. The MACT standard has been revised to require a NCS report to be
submitted for storage vessels brought into compliance after August 18,1998 with the
periodic report for the reporting period in which the vessel was brought into compliance.
The report will include a list of all Group 1 storage vessels and either the actual or
anticipated date of compliance for each vessel.
