ABSTRACT
The purpose of this manual is to enhance an inspector's ability to conduct more
complete and effective inspections at facilities in the chemical industry that are subject
to federal equipment leak regulations. Equipment leak standards are designed to reduce
or eliminate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), volatile hazardous air
pollutants (VHAPs), and organic HAPs from the miles of piping and numerous
components found in chemical manufacturing processes.
This document is divided into three volumes. The first volume is a manual for
inspectors; the second and third volumes describe regulations that apply to the chemical
manufacturing and the petroleum refining industries, respectively.
Volume I has five chapters dedicated to helping an inspector:
•	Chapter 1 states the goals, background, approaches to rule enforcement, and
organization of the document.
•	Chapter 2 addresses applicability determinations: ensuring the correct rules are
being complied with at a facility, determining whether all appropriate
components have been identified, and ensuring the components are properly
classified by service.
•	Chapter 3 discusses reporting and recordkeeping requirements for NSPS,
NESHAP, HON, and RCRA (recordkeeping only), and strategies for reviewing
reports and records.
•	Chapter 4 covers on-site inspections: walk-throughs and inspections with the
inspector monitoring for leaks. It addresses pre-inspection activities, timing and
scope, interviews, leak monitoring evaluations, inspections of the process area
and records, and post-inspection reviews and reports.
•	Chapter 5 discusses recommended inspection techniques and procedures.
Volume II tackles the equipment leak regulations applicable to the chemical
manufacturing industry.
•	The first three appendices of Volume II summarize the regulations of 40 CFR
Part 60 Subpart VV, Part 61 Subparts J and V, Part 63 Subparts H and I, Part
264 Subpart BB, and Part 265 Subpart BB; detail the differences among the
regulations; and give the requirements grouped by component.
•	Appendix D describes the regulated equipment.
•	Appendix E contains the "Method 21" approach to leak detection.
•	Appendix F lists chemical manufacturing processes that are subject to HON.
•	Appendix G lists organic HAPs that are subject to HON.
•	Appendix H lists manufacturing processes and associated organic HAP
emissions that are subject to HON.

-------
Volume III contains the equipment leak regulations applicable to the petroleum refining
industry.
• The three appendices of Volume in summarize the regulations of 40 CFR Part
60 Subparts DDD, GGG, KKK, and QQQ, and Part 63 Subpart CC; detail the
differences among the regulations; and give the requirements grouped by
component.

Initial Survey Monitor all connectors within
a 12 month period
(see "Flanges and other connectors, all
services)




Subsequent monitoring frequency based on
percent leaking connectors





•	annual if a 0 5%
•	once every 2 years if < 0 5%
•	once every 4 years if <0 5% during 2
year monitoring
•	once every 2 years if 0 5 to < 1 % during 4
year monitoring
•	annual if > 1 % during 4 year monitoring





To comply with monitoring frequency of once
every two years, monitor at least 40% of the
connectors in the first year and the remainder
in the second year





To comply with monitoring frequency of once
every four years, monitor at least 20% each
year until all have been monitored within 4
years





Connectors that have been opened or
reconnected or have had the seal broken
Monitor for leaks within 3 months after being
returned to organic HAP service or calculate
percent leakers by setting nonreparable
components to zero for all monitoring
periods May switch between these
alternatives at end of monitoring period





A switch in alternatives requires initial
monitoring no later than 12 months after

processes, the standards are similar to those for continuous processes with the
monitoring frequency prorated to time in use of organic HAP
Each time equipment is reconfigured for the production of a new product, the
reconfigured equipment is to be monitored for leaks within 30 days of start-up This
initial monitoring of (he reconfigured equipment can not be used in determining
percent leaking equipment in the process unit
Not applicable

Not applicable
Not applicable
Not applicable
Monitor for leaks when the equipment is in organic HAP service, in use with an
acceptable surrogate volatile organic compound which is not an organic HAP, or is in
use with any other detectable gas or vapor
Each time equipment is reconfigured for production of a different product or
intermediate, the batch process tram is to be pressure-tested for leaks before organic
HAP is first fed into the equipment
Pressure test new or disturbed equipment when a batch process train is reconfigured
Pressure testing not required for routine seal breaks, such as changing hoses and
niters
Batch process equipment lest using either
•	procedures specified for pressure or vacuum loss [see §63 180(01 or
•	procedures specified for using a liquid [see §63 180(g)]
Each batch process that operates in organic HAP service during a calendar year must
be pressure tested at least once during that same calendar year
For pressure or vacuum tests, a leak is detected if the rate of pressure change in
excess of 6 9 kilopascals (1 psig) in 1 hour, or if there is visible, audible, or olfactory
evidence of fluid loss.
For pressure tests using a liquid, a leak is detected if there are indications of dripping
liquid or other evidence of fluid loss from process units
When leaks are detected, repairs must be made and a retest conducted before startup
of the process
If the process unit fails this retest or the second of 2 consecutive pressure tests, the
equipment must be repaired as soon as practicable but not later than 30 calendar days
after the second pressure test

VOC in process fluid that is contained or
contacts a piece of equipment
Engineering judgement may be used to
estimate the VOC content if piece of
equipment had not been shown previously
to be in VOC service
Administrator will require use of ASTM
Method D-2267b in event of disagreement
to determine VOC content
Compounds determined by EPA to have
negligible photochemical reactivity can be
excluded in determining VOC content of a
process fluid
For demonstration
Use procedures that conform to ASTM
Method D-2267
Engineering judgment may be used to
determine percent VHAP clearly does not
exceed 10 percent
Administrator will require use of ASTM
Method D-2267b in event of disagreement
to determine VOC content
For demonstration
Use Method 18 of 40 CFR Part 60,
appendix A to determine percent organic
HAP
Engineering judgment may be used to
determine percent organic HAP does not
exceed 5 percent
Owner/operator may instead determine
organic HAP content does not exceed S
percent by weight
For demonstration
Use ASTM Methods D 2267-88, I- 169-87,
E 168-88, E260-85, or Method 9060 or
8240 of SW-846

for purposes of determining monitoring frequency If the owner or operator chooses not to monitor
connectors that have been opened or otherwise had the seal broken, then he cannot count
nonrepayable connectors for the purposes of determining monitoring frequency The owner or
operator will instead set the nonrepayable component of the monitoring frequency equation to zero

Credit may be given for eliminating connectors if the following requirements are met.
•	connector was welded after the date of proposal of the specific subpart that references this
subpart
•	integrity of the weld is demonstrated by monitoring it accordtng to the procedures m 63.180(b)
or by testing using X-ray, acoustic monitoring, hydrotesting, or other applicable method

that references this subpart are monitored or tested by 3 months after the compliance date
specified in the applicable subpart, and
•	welds created after promulgation of the subpart that references this subpart are monitored or
tested within 3 months after being welded
If an inadequate weld is found or the connector is not welded completely around the circumference,
the connector is not considered a welded connector and is therefore not exempt.
In percent leaking connectors equations, optional credit for removed connectors is calculated-
0.67 * net (total removed - total added) number of connectors in organic HAP service that are
removed from the process unit after compliance date for existing units and after initial start-up for
new units If credits are not taken, the credit = 0

Chapter 3
Regulated Equipment
Equipment leak standards are designed to control
emissions of VOCs and VHAPs from regulated
equipment through the application of work practices
and equipment practices The work practice most
commonly applied to control equipment leaks is the
LDAR program, which is discussed in detail in
Section 2 2 4 2 Subsequent chapters address the
monitonng, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements of implementing a LDAR program
under NSPS or NESHAP standards In this chapter,
regulated equipment is reviewed to illustrate how
monitonng programs are applied to specific pieces
of equipment
action, and special canned-motor and diaphragm
pumps (U S EPA, 1990)
Chemicals transferred by pumps can leak at the
point of contact between the moving shaft and
stationary casing To isolate the pump's interior from
the atmosphere, all pumps, except the seal-less
type (canned-motor and diaphragm), require a seal
at the point where the shaft penetrates the housing
The most commonly used seals in these pumps are
packed and mechanical (U S EPA, 1980a)
Equipment practices include the use of specific
types of components, equipment design standards
or specifications, and operational standards for
certain types of equipment Equipment practices are
evaluated using performance standards that provide
a basis for monitonng or substantiating the
effectiveness of such control practices Equipment
practices, bnefly summarized in Section 2 2.4 3, are
addressed in greater detail in this chapter.
A general set of equipment is covered by all of the
equipment leak standards Some equipment is
covered only by specific standards For example,
product accumulator vessels are covered only by
the equipment leak standards for benzene Also, the
vinyl chlonde fugitive emission standards cover
additional sources (loading and unloading lines,
agitators, slip gauges, opening of equipment, and in-
process wastewater) Except for agitators, however,
the emissions from these sources generally are not
considered "equipment leaks " The equipment leak
standards also identify requirements for closed-vent
systems and control devices that may be used to
comply with the regulations
3.1 Pumps
Pumps are used extensively in the SOCMI and
petroleum refinery industnes, as well as in natural
gas processing plants, for moving organic fluids
The most widely used pump is the centrifugal pump
Other types of pumps that also may be used are the
positive-displacement, reciprocating and rotary

3.1.1 Packed Seals
Packed seals can be used on both reciprocating and
rotary acton pumps. A packed seal consists of a
cavity ("stuffing box") in the pump casing filled with
special packing matenal that is compressed with a
packing gland to form a seal around the shaft A
simple packed seal is illustrated in Figure 3-1 To
prevent buildup of fnctional heat, lubncation is
required A sufficient amount of liquid (either the
liquid being pumped or another liquid that is
injected) must be allowed to flow between the
packing and the shaft to provide the necessary
lubncation If this packing and/or the shaft seal face
degrade after a period of usage, organic compounds
can leak to the atmosphere
REGULATED EQUIPMENT
page D-1
-------
3.1.2 Single Mechanical Seals
Mechanical seals, limited in application to pumps
with rotating shafts, can be single or dual Basic
designs of mechanical seals vary, but all have a
lapped seal face between a stationary element and
a rotating seal nng (Ramsden, 1978) In a single
mechanical seal application, the rotating-seal nng
and stationary element faces are lapped to a very
high degree of flatness to maintain contact over their
shared surface area (Figure 3-2) The faces are held
together by a combination of pressure supplied by a
spring and the pump pressure transmitted through
the liquid that is being pumped An elastomer seals
the rotating face to the shaft The stationary face is
sealed to the stuffing box with another elastomer or
gasket As with packed seals, the faces must be
lubncated however, because of the mechanical
seal's construction, much less lubncaton is needed
Again, if the seal becomes imperfect because of
wear, the organic compounds being pumped can
leak between the seal faces and can be emitted to
the atmosphere

3.1.3 Dual Mechanical Seals
Dual mechanical seals (Figure 3-3) can be arranged
back to back, in tandem, or face to face In the back-
to-back arrangement, the two seals form a closed
cavity A banner fluid, such as water or seal oil, is
circulated through the cavity Because the barrier
fluid surrounds the dual seal and (ubncates both
sets of seal faces, the heat transfer and seal life
charactensbcs of this dual seal are much better than
those of the single seal In order for the seal to
function, the barrier fluid must be at a pressure
greater than the operating pressure of the stuffing
box As a result, some bamer fluid will leak across
the seal faces. Liquid leaking across the inboard
face will enter the stuffing box and mix with the
process liquid Barner fluid going across the
outboard face will exit to the atmosphere. Therefore,
the barner fluid must be compatible with the process
liquid and wrth the environment (Ramsden, 1978, p
99)

-------
In a tandem dual mechanical seal arrangement, the
seals face the same direction, and the secondary
seal provides a backup for the primary seal A seal
flush is used in the stuffing box to remove the heat
generated by friction As with the back-to-back seal
arrangement, the cavity between the two tandem
seals is filled with a barner fluid The barrier fluid,
however, is at a pressure lower than that in the
stuffing box Therefore, any leakage will be from the
stuffing box into the seal cavity containing the barner
fluid Since this liquid is routed to a closed reservoir,
process liquid that leaks into the seal cavity also will
be transferred to the reservoir At the reservoir, the
process liquid could vaporize and be emitted to the
atmosphere To ensure that VOCs or VHAPs do not
leak from the reservoir, the reservoir can be vented
to a control device
seals are eliminated Because the process liquid is
the bearing lubricant, abrasive solids cannot be
tolerated Canned-motor pumps are used widely for
handling organic solvents, organic heat transfer
liquids, light oils, and many toxic or hazardous
liquids Canned-motor pumps also are used when
leakage is an economic problem (Perry and Chilton,
1978, p 6-8)
Diaphragm pumps (Figure 3-5) perform similarly to
piston and plunger pumps The driving member,
however, is a flexible diaphragm fabncated of metal,
rubber, or plastic The primary advantage of this
arrangement is that no packing and shaft seals are
exposed to the process liquid, which is an important
asset when handling hazardous or toxic liquids
Another arrangement of dual seals is face to face In
this configuration, two rotating faces are mated with
a common stationary barrier Barner fluid may be
provided at higher or lower pressures than in the
stuffing box As in the tandem arrangement, if the
barner fluid is at a lower pressure than in the stuffing
box, the barner fluid reservoir may require venting to
a control device
3.1.4 Seal-less Pumps
The seal-less pump includes canned-motor and
diaphragm pumps In canned-motor pumps (Figure
3-4), the cavity housing, the motor rotor, and the
pump casing are interconnected As a result, the
motor beanngs run in the process liquid and all shaft

3.2 Compressors
In the industnes affected by these standards,
centnfugal, reciprocating, and rotary compressors
are used The centnfugal compressor uses a
rotating element or senes of elements containing
curved blades to increase the pressure of a gas by
centnfugal force Reciprocating and rotary
compressors increase pressure by confining the gas

in a cavity and progressively decreasing the volume
of the cavity Reciprocating compressors usually use
a piston and cylinder arrangement, while rotary
compressors use rotating elements such as lobed
impellers or sliding vanes
As with pumps, seals are required to prevent
leakage from compressors Rotary shaft seals for
compressors may be labynnth, restnctive carbon
nngs, mechanical contact, or liquid film Figure 3-6
is an illustration of typical designs of these four
types of seals All of these seals are leak restriction
devices, but none of them completely eliminates
leakage To respond to leakage, many compressors
are equipped with ports in the seal area that
evacuate collected gases
3.2.1	Labyrinth
The labynnth seal is composed of a senes of close
tolerance, interlocking "teeth" that restrict the flow of
gas along the shaft Many vanations in "tooth"
design and materials of construction are available
Although labynnth seals as a group have the largest
leak potential of the different types, properly applied
variations in tooth configuration and shape can
reduce leakage by up to 40 percent over a straight-
pass-type labynnth (Nelson, 1977)
3.2.2	Carbon Rings
Restrictive carbon ring seals consist of multiple
stationary carbon nngs with close shaft clearances
These seals may be operated dry with a sealing fluid
or with a buffer gas Restnctive ring seals can
achieve lower leak rates than can the labynnth type
3.2.3	Mechanical
Mechanical contact seals are a common type of seal
for rotary compressor shafts and are similar to the
mechanical seals descnbed for pumps In this type
of seal, the clearance between the rotating and
stationary elements is reduced to zero, and oil or
another suitable lubncant is supplied to the seal
faces Mechanical seals can achieve the lowest leak
rates of the types discussed here, but they are not
suitable for all processing
3.2.4	Packed
Packed seals are used for reciprocating compressor
shafts As with pumps, the packing in me stuffing
box is compressed with a gland to form a seal
Packing used on reciprocating compressor shafts is
often of the "chevron" or netted V type To ensure
operating safety, the area between the compressor
seals and the compressor motor (distance piece)
normally is enclosed and vented outside of the
compressor building If hydrogen sulfide is present
in the gas, then the vented vapors are flared
normally
Reciprocating compressors can use a metallic
packing plate and nonmetallic partially compressible
material (i e , Graffoil, Teflon) or oil wiper nngs to
seal shaft leakage to the distance piece
Nevertheless, some leakage into the distance piece
may occur
3.2.5 Liquid Film Seals
In addition to having seal types like those used for
pumps, centnfugal compressors can be equipped
with a liquid-film seal The seal is a film oil that flows
between the rotating shaft and the stationary gland
The oil that leaves the compressor from the
pressurized system side is under the system
internal gas pressure and is contaminated with the
gas When this contaminated oil is returned to the
open oil reservoir, process gas and entrained VOCs
and VHAPs can be released to the atmosphere
3.3 Pressure Relief Devices
Engineering codes require the use of pressure-
relieving devices or systems in applications where
lean ana

-------
the process pressure may exceed the maximum
allowable working pressure of the vessel The
pressure relief valve is the most common type of
pressure-relieving device used Typically, relief
valves are spring-loaded (see Figure 3-7) and
designed to open when the system pressure
exceeds a set pressure, allowing the release of
vapors or liquids until the system pressure is
reduced to its normal operating level When the
normal pressure is re-attatned, the valve reseats,
and a seal is again formed The seal is a disc on a
seat, and a leak through this seal is a potential
source of VOC and VHAP fugitive emissions The
potential causes of leakage from relief valves are
"simmenng or popping" (a condition that occurs
when the system pressure comes close to the set
pressure of the valve), improper reseating of the
valve after a relieving operation, and corrosion or
degradation of the valve seat (U S EPA, 1980a, p.
3-3)
Rupture discs also may be used to relieve pressure
in process units (see Figure 3-8) These discs are
made of a material that ruptures when a set
pressure is exceeded, thus allowing the system to
depressunze The advantage of a rupture disc is
that the disc seals tightly and does not allow any

however, the system will depressunze until
atmospheric conditions are obtained, unless the
disc is used with a pressure relief valve
3.4 Sampling Connections
Process unit operations are checked periodically by
routine analysis of feedstocks and products To
obtain representative samples for these analyses,
sampling lines first must be purged If the flushing
liquid is not controlled, it could be drained onto the
ground or into a process drain where it would
evaporate and release VOCs or VHAPs to the
atmosphere Closed-loop sampling systems control
the purged process fluid by returning it directly to
the process line, collecting and recycling the fluid, or
transporting the fluid to a control device These
sampling system controls typically allow zero VOC
or VHAP emissions to the atmosphere Two closed-
loop sampling systems are illustrated in Figure 3-9

3.5 Open-ended Lines or Open Valves
Some valves are installed in a system so that they
function with the downstream line open to the
atmosphere Open-ended lines, which are used
mainly in intermittent service for sampling and
venting, include purge, drain, and sampling lines
Some open-ended lines are needed to preserve
product punty Normally, these are installed
between mult-use product lines to prevent products
from collecting in cross-tie lines dunng valve seat
leakage A faulty valve seat or incompletely closed
valve would result in leakage through the valve,
releasing fugitive VOC or VHAP emissions to the
atmosphere
REGULATED EQUIPMENT

-------
Operational requirements specify that open-ended
valves or lines be equipped with a cap, blind flange,
plug, or second valve The purpose of the cap, blind
flange, plug, or second valve is to seal the open end
at all times, except during operations requiring
process fluid flow through the open-ended valve or
line
If a second valve is used, the open-ended line or
valve ts to be operated so that the valve on the
process fluid end is closed before the second valve
is closed If a double block-and-bleed system is
being used, the bleed valve or line may remain open
during operations that require venting the line
between the block valves At all other times, the
open end of the bleed valve or line must be sealed
(agam, except during operations requinng process
fluid flow through the open-ended line or valve)

3.6 Process Valves
One of the most common pieces of equipment
affected by these standards is the process valve
Commonly used types are control, globe, gate, plug,
ball, relief, and check valves (see Figures 3-10 and
3-11) All except the relief valve (see Section 3 3)
and check valve are activated through a valve stem,
which may have either a rotational or linear motion,
depending on the design The valve stem requires
a seat to isolate the process flurd inside the valve
from the atmosphere The possibility of a leak
through this seal makes it a potential source of
fugitive emissions Since a check valve has no stem
or subsequent packing gland, it is not considered a
potential source of fugitive emissions

The stem can be sealed to prevent leakage by using
a packing gland or O-nng seals Valves that require
the stem to move in and out with or without rotation
must use a packing gland Conventional packing
glands are suited for a wide variety of packing
matenal The most common are vanous types of
braided asbestos that contain lubncants Other
packing matenals include graphite, graphite-
impregnated fibers, and tetrafluorethylene polymer
The packing material used depends on the valve
application and configuration These conventional
packing glands can be used over a range of
operating temperatures, but at high pressures, these
glands must be quite tight to obtain a good seal

Figure 3-13. Diagram of a weir diaphragm seal
(U.S. EPA, 1990, p. 2-24)
Elastomeric O-rings also are used for sealing
process valves These O-nngs provide good
sealing, but are not suitable if sliding mobon occurs
through the packing gland These seals are used
rarely in high pressure service, and operating
temperatures are limited by the seal matenai
Bellows seals are more effective for preventing
process fluid leaks than is the conventional packing
gland or any other gland-seal arrangement This
type of seal incorporates a formed metal bellows
that makes a barner between the disc and body
bonnet joint (see Figure 3-12) The bellows is the
weak point of this type of system, and service life
can be quite vanable. Consequently, this type of
seal normally is backed up with a conventional
packing gland and often is fitted with a leak detector
in case of failure
A diaphragm may be used to isolate the working
parts of the valve and the environment from the
process liquid. Illustrated in Figures 3-13 and 3-14
are two types of diaphragm seals The diaphragm
also may be used to control the flow of the process
fluid In this design, a compressor component
pushes the diaphragm toward the valve bottom,
throttling the flow The diaphragm and compressor
are connected in a manner so that separating them
is impossible under normal working conditions
When the diaphragm reaches the valve bottom, it
seats firmly against the bottom, forming a leak-proof

seal This configuration is recommended for fluids
containing solid particles and for medium-pressure
service Depending on the diaphragm matenal, this
type of valve can be used at temperatures up to
205°C and in severe acid solutions If the seal fails,
however, a valve using a diaphragm seal can
become a source of fugitive, emissions (Pikulik,
1978, pp 3-23 and 3-24)
3.7	Flanges and Other Connectors
Flanges are bolted, gasket-sealed junctions used
wherever pipes or other equipment such as vessels,
pumps, valves, and heat exchangers may require
isolation or removal Connectors are all other
nonwelded fittings that serve a similar purpose to
flanges, which also allow bends in pipes (elbows),
joining two pipes (couplings), or joining three or tour
pipes (tees or crosses) Connectors typically are
threaded
Flanges may become fugitive emissions sources
when leakage occurs because of improperly chosen
gaskets or poorly assembled flanges The primary
cause of flange leakage is thermal stress, which
causes deformation of the seal between the flange
faces Threaded connectors may leak if the threads
become damaged or corroded or if tightened without
sufficient lubrication or torque LDAR programs are

3.8	Product Accumulator Vessels
The background information document for the
proposed benzene standards (U.S EPA 1980b)
states that product accumulator vessels include
overhead and bottoms receiver vessels used with
fractionation columns and product separator vessels
used in senes with reactor vessels to separate
reaction products Accumulator vessels can be
vented directly to the atmosphere or indirectly
through a blowdown drum or vacuum system When
an accumulator vessel contains benzene and vents
to the atmosphere, benzene emissions can occur
This equipment is covered only by the benzene
equipment leak standards
The benzene standards require each product
accumulator vessel to be equipped with a closed-
vent system capable of capturing and transporting
any leakage from the vessel to a control device
Acceptable control devices include vapor recovery
systems, enclosed combustion devices, or flares
These control systems are described in Section
3 10
3.9 Agitators
Agitators are used to stir or blend chemicals Like
pumps and compressors, agitators may leak
organic chemicals at the point where the shaft
penetrates the casing Consequently, seals are
required to minimize fugitive emissions Four seal
arrangements commonly are used with agitators
compression packing (packed seal), mechanical
seals, hydraulic seals, and lip seals Packed seals
for agitators are very similar in design and
application to packed seals for pumps (Ramsey and
Zoller, 1976)
Although mechanical seals are more costly than the
other three types of seals, they offer a greatly
reduced leakage rate to offset their higher cost
Furthermore, the maintenance frequency of
mechanical seals is one-half to one-fourth that of
packed seals At pressures greater than 1,140 kPa
(150 psig), the leakage rate and maintenance
frequency are so superior that the use of packed
seals on agitators is rare As with packed seals, the
mechanical seals for agitators are similar in design
and application to the mechanical seals for pumps
The hydraulic seal, which is the simplest and least
used agitator shaft seal, has an annular cup
attached to the process vessel that contains a liquid
that is in contact with an inverted cup attached to
the rotating agitator shaft The primary advantage of
this seal is that it is a noncontact seal Use of this
seal, however, is limited to low temperatures and
pressures and very small pressure fluctuations In
addition, organic chemicals may contaminate the
seal liquid and then be released into the
atmosphere as fugitive emissions.
A lip seal can be used on a top-entering agitator as
a dust or vapor seal The sealing element is a
spring-loaded elastomer Lip seals are relatively
inexpensive and easy to install Once the seal has
been installed, the agitator shaft rotates in
continuous contact with the lip seal Pressure limits
of the seal are 2 to 3 psig because it operates
without lubncation, and operating temperatures are
limited by the charactenstics of the elastomer
Fugitive emissions can be released through this
seal when the seal wears excessively or the

3.10	Closed-Vent Systems and Control
Devices
A closed-vent system can be used to collect and
dispose of gaseous VOC emissions from seal oil
degassing vents, pump and compressor seal
leakage, relief valve leakage, and relief valve
discharges because of over-pressure operation A
closed-vent system consists of piping connectors,
flame arrestors, and, if necessary, flow-inducing
devices Closed-vent systems are designed and
operated so that all VOC emissions are transported
to a control device without leakage to the
atmosphere
Several types of control devices can be used to
dispose of VOC and VHAP emissions captured in
the closed-vent system Incineration, carbon
adsorption, and condensation are three control
methods that typically are applied Control
efficiencies of the three methods are dependent on
specific operating characteristics and the types of
emissions being generated Typically, enclosed
combustion devices (boilers, process heaters, and
thermal and catalytic incinerators) can achieve
better than 95 percent destruction efficiencies The
key parameters affecting destruction efficiency are
residence tome and temperature Carbon adsorption
systems can achieve 95 to 99 percent control
efficiency through proper design and operation,
while condensation systems can achieve capture
efficiencies of 90 percent or more.
Flares commonly found at plants subject to these
standards include steam-assisted, air-assisted, non-
assisted, ground, and dual-flare systems. Certain
flares have demonstrated destruction efficiencies
equal to those of enclosed combustion devices
provided certain design specifications (heat content
and exit velocity) are met (U S EPA, 1985)

EMISSION MEASUREMENT TECHNICAL INFORMATION CENTER
NSPS TEST METHOD
(EMTIC M-21, 2/9/93)
Method 21 - Determination of Volatile Organic Compound Leaks
1.	APPLICABILITY AND PRINCIPLE
1.1	Applicability. This method applies to the determination of volatile organic compound
(VOC) leaks from process equipment. These sources include, but are not limited to,
valves, flanges and other connections, pumps and compressors, pressure relief devices,
process drains, open-ended valves, pump and compressor seal system degassing vents,
accumulator vessel vents, agitator seals, and access door seals.
1.2	Principle. A portable instrument is used to detect VOC leaks from individual sources.
The instrument detector type is not specified, but it must meet the specifications and
performance criteria contained in Section 3. A leak definition concentration based on a
reference compound is specified in each applicable regulation. This procedure is intended
to locate and classify leaks only, and is not to be used as a direct measure of mass
emission rate from individual sources
2.	DEFINITIONS
2.1	Leak Definition Concentration. The local VOC concentration at the surface of a
leak source that indicates that a VOC emission (leak) is present, The leak definition is an
instrument meter reading based on a reference compound.
2.2	Reference Compound. The VOC species selected as an instrument calibration basis
for specification of the leak definition concentration. (For example, if a leak definition
concentration is 10,000 ppm as methane, then any source emission that results in a local
concentration that yields a meter reading of 10,000 on an instrument meter calibrated with
methane would be classified as a leak In this example, the leak definition is 10,000 ppm,
and the reference compound is methane.)
2.3	Calibration Gas. The VOC compound used to adjust the instrument meter reading
to a known value. The calibration gas is usually the reference compound at a known
concentration approximately equal to the leak definition concentration.
2.4	No Detectable Emission. The total VOC concentration at the surface of a leak
source that indicates that a VOC emission (leak) is not present Since background VOC
concentrations may exist, and to account for instrument drift and imperfect reproducibility,
a difference between the source surface concentration and the local ambient concentration
is determined A difference based on the meter readings of less than a concentration
METHOD 21 (40 CFR 60. APPENDIX A)
page E-1
-------
corresponding to the minimum readability specification indicates that a VOC emission
(leak) is not present. (For example, if the leak definition in a regulation is 10,000 ppm, then
the allowable increase is surface concentration versus local ambient concentration would
be 500 ppm based on the instrument meter readings )
2.5	Response Factor. The ratio of the known concentration of a VOC compound to the
observed meter reading when measured using an instrument calibrated with the reference
compound specified in the applicable regulation
2.6	Calibration Precision. The degree of agreement between measurements of the
same known value, expressed as the relative percentage of the average difference
between the meter readings and the known concentration to the known concentration.
2.7	Response Time. The time interval from a step change in VOC concentration at the
input of the sampling system to the time at which 90 percent of the corresponding final
value is reached as displayed on the instrument readout meter.
3. APPARATUS
3.1 Monitoring Instrument

METHOD 21 (40 CFR 60. APPENDIX A)
page E-2
-------
3.1.2	Performance Criteria.
a.	The instrument response factors for the individual compounds to be measured must
be less than 10.
b.	The instrument response time must be equal to or less than 30 seconds. The
response time must be determined for the instrument configuration to be used during
testing.
c.	The calibration precision must be equal to or less than 10 percent of the calibration gas
value
d.	The evaluation procedure for each parameter is given in Section 4.4.
3.1.3	Performance Evaluation Requirements.
a.	A response factor must be determined for each compound that is to be measured,
either by testing or from reference sources The response factor tests are required before
placing the analyzer into service, but do not have to be repeated at subsequent intervals
b.	The calibration precision test must be completed prior to placing the analyzer into
service, and at subsequent 3-month intervals or at the next use whichever is later.
c.	The response time test is required before placing the instrument into service If a
modification to the sample pumping system or flow configuration is made that would
change the response time, a new test is required before further use.
3.2 Calibration Gases.
The monitoring instrument is calibrated in terms of parts per million by volume (ppm)
of the reference compound specified in the applicable regulation. The calibration gases
required for monitoring and instrument performance evaluation are a zero gas (air, less
than 10 ppm VOC) and a calibration gas in air mixture approximately equal to the leak
definition specified in the regulation. If cylinder calibration gas mixtures are used, they
must be analyzed and certified by the manufacturer to be within + or - 2 percent accuracy,
and a shelf life must be specified. Cylinder standards must be either reanalyzed or
replaced at the end of the specified shelf life. Alternatively, calibration gases may be
prepared by the user according to any accepted gaseous preparation procedure that will
yield a mixture accurate to within + or - 2 percent. Prepared standards must be replaced
each day of use unless it can be demonstrated that degradation does not occur during
storage.
Calibrations may be performed using a compound other than the reference compound
if a conversion factor is determined for that alternative compound so that the resulting
METHOD 21 (40 CFR 60, APPENDIX A)
page E-3
-------
meter readings during source surveys can be converted to reference compound results.
4. PROCEDURES
4.1	Pretest Preparations. Perform the instrument evaluation procedure given in Section
4.4 if the evaluation requirement of Section 3.1.3 have not been met.
4.2	Calibration Procedures. Assemble and start up the VOC analyzer according to the
manufacturer's instructions. After the appropriate warmup period and zero internal
calibration procedure, introduce the calibration gas into the instrument sample probe.
Adjust the instrument meter readout to correspond to the calibration gas value. (Note: If
the meter readout cannot be adjusted to the proper value, a malfunction of the analyzer
is indicated and corrective actions are necessary before use.)
4.3	Individual Source Surveys.
4.3.1 Type I - Leak Definition Based on Concentration. Place the probe inlet at the
surface of the component interface where leakage could occur. Move the probe along the
interface periphery while observing the instrument readout. If an increased meter reading
is observed, slowly sample the interface where leakage is indicated until the maximum
meter reading is obtained. Leave the probe inlet at this maximum reading location for
approximately two times the instrument response time. If the maximum observed meter
reading is greater than the leak definition in the applicable regulation, record and report the
results as specified in the regulation reporting requirements. Examples of the application
of this general technique to specific equipment types are:
a.	Valves - Leaks usually occur at the seal between the stem and the housing Place the
probe at the interface where the stem exits the packing and sample the stem
circumference and the flange periphery. Survey valves of multipart assemblies where a
leak could occur.
b.	Flanges and Other Connections - Place the probe at the outer edge of the flange-
gasket interface and sample the circumference of the flange.
c.	Pump or Compressor Seals - If applicable, determine the type of shaft seal. Perform
a survey of the local area ambient VOC concentration and determine if detectable
emissions exist as described above.
d.	Pressure Relief Devices - For those devices equipped with an enclosed extension, or
horn, place the probe inlet at approximately the center of the exhaust area to the
atmosphere.
e.	Process Drains - For open drains, place the probe inlet as near as possible to the
METHOD 21 (40 CFR 60, APPENDIX A)
page E-4
-------
center of the area open to the atmosphere. For covered drains, locate probe at the surface
of the cover and traverse the periphery.
f.	Open-ended Lines or Valves - Place the probe inlet at approximately the center of the
opening of the atmosphere.
g.	Seal System Degassing Vents, Accumulator Vessel Vents, Pressure Relief Devices -
If applicable, observe whether the applicable ducting or piping exists. Also, determine if
any sources exist in the ducting or piping where emissions could occur before the control
device If the required ducting or piping exists and there are no sources where the
emissions could be vented to the atmosphere before the control device, then it is
presumed that no detectable emissions are present. If there are sources in the ducting or
piping where emissions could be vented or sources where leaks could occur, the sampling
surveys described in this section shall be used to determine if detectable emissions exist.
h.	Access door seals - Place the probe inlet at the surface of the door seal interface and
traverse the penphery.
4.3.2	Type II - "No Detectable Emission". Determine the ambient concentration around
the source by moving the probe randomly upwind and downwind around one to two meters
from the source. In case of interferences, this determination may be made closer to the
source down to no closer than 25 centimeters. Then move the probe to the surface of the
source and measure as In 4.3 1. The difference in these concentrations determines
whether there are no detectable emissions. When the regulation also requires that no
detectable emissions exist, visual observations and sampling surveys are required.
Examples of this technique are: (a) Pump or Compressor Seals - Survey the local area
ambient VOC concentration and determine if detectable emissions exist, (b) Seal System
Degassing Vents, AccumulatorVessel Vents, Pressure Relief Devices - Determine if any
VOC sources exist upstream of the device. If such ducting exists and emissions cannot
be vented to the atmosphere upstream of the control device, then it is presumed that no
detectable emissions are present. If venting is possible sample to determine if detectable
emissions are present
4.3.3	Alternative Screening Procedure.
4.3.3.1 A screening procedure based on the formation of bubbles in a soap solution that
is sprayed on a potential leak source may be used for those sources that do not have
continuously moving parts, that do not have surface temperatures greater than the boiling
point or less than the freezing point of the soap solution, that do not have open areas to
the atmosphere that the soap solution cannot bridge, or that do not exhibit evidence of
liquid leakage. Sources that have these conditions present must be surveyed using the
instrument technique of Section 4.3 1 or 4.3.2.
METHOD 21 (40 CFR 60, APPENDIX A)
page E-5
-------
4.3.3.2 Spray a soap solution over all potential leak sources. The soap solution may be
a commercially available leak detection solution or may be prepared using concentrated
detergent and water.
A pressure sprayer or squeeze bottle may be used to dispense the solution. Observe the
potential leak sites to determine if any bubbles are formed. If no bubbles are observed,
the source is presumed to have no detectable emissions or leaks as applicable. If any
bubbles are observed, the instrument techniques of Section 4.3.1 or 4.3.2 shall be used
to determine if a leak exists, or if the source has detectable emissions, as applicable.
4.4 Instrument Evaluation Procedures. At the beginning of the instrument performance
evaluation test, assemble and start up the instrument according to the manufacturer's
instructions for recommended warmup period and preliminary adjustments.
4.4.1	Response Factor.
4.4.1.1	Calibrate the instrument with the reference compound as specified in the
applicable regulation. For each organic species that is to be measured during individual
source surveys, obtain or prepare a known standard in air at a concentration of
approximately 80 percent of the applicable leak definition unless limited by volatility or
explosivity. In these cases, prepare a standard at 90 percent of the standard saturation
concentration, or 70 percent of the lower explosive limit, respectively. Introduce this
mixture to the analyzer and record the observed meter reading. Introduce zero air until a
stable reading is obtained. Make a total of three measurements by alternating between
the known mixture and zero air. Calculate the response factor for each repetition and the
average response factor.
4.4.1.2	Alternatively, if response factors have been published for the compounds of
interest for the instrument or detector type, the response factor determination is not
required, and existing results may be referenced. Examples of published response factors
for flame ionization and catalytic oxidation detectors are included in the Bibliography.
4.4.2	Calibration Precision. Make a total of three measurements by alternately using
zero gas and the specified calibration gas. Record the meter readings. Calculate the
average algebraicdifference between the meter readings and the known value. Divide this
average difference by the known calibration value and multiply by 100 to express the
resulting calibration precision as a percentage.
4.4.3	Response Time. Introduce zero gas into the instrument sample probe. When the
meter reading has stabilized, switch quickly to the specified calibration gas. Measure the
time from switching to when 90 percent of the final stable reading is attained. Perform this
test sequence three times and record the results. Calculate the average response time.
