3. Facility description
The Al-Corn Clean Fuel (Facility) is located at 797 5th St in Claremont, Dodge County, Minnesota. Al-Corn Clean Fuel is a fuel grade dry-mill ethanol plant located approximately one half mile west of Claremont, Minnesota, on Highway 14. The Facility will use 1.4 million tons of corn per year to produce 130 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol (undenatured). The primary air emissions are volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM/PM10/PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). VOCs are emitted by fermentation, distillation, dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS), DDGS drying, ethanol loading, and VOC liquid storage and piping. Particulate matter is emitted by the DDGS drying, cooling and handling, grain receiving and handling, and vehicle traffic. NOX, SO2 and CO are emitted by combustion sources. SO2 is emitted from DDGS drying (sulfuric acid is used to clean equipment and added to balance the pH). The facility will be limited to a production capacity of 133.2370 MMGal/year of denatured ethanol; a throughput capacity of 1.4 million tons/year (tpy) of grain, and 440,000 tpy of DDGS. The primary pieces of control equipment are fabric filters, a wet scrubber, a regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO), recuperative thermal oxidizer (TO), and two flares. The wet scrubber controls emissions from cook, fermentation and distillation units, while the TO and RTO are used to control emissions from distillation and drying units. Fabric filters control PM/PM10/ PM2.5 from the grain and DDGS handling and storage systems. There are fourteen large, internal floating roof and fixed roof tanks for ethanol, denaturant, and denatured ethanol storage. Flares are used to control VOC emissions from the facility's ethanol loading racks. Emissions from process valves and piping are controlled through an inspection and maintenance program. The facility has accepted limits on the amounts of particulate matter and VOCs that could be emitted to the atmosphere, so that it is classified as a non-major source under the federal New Source Review program (40 CFR § 52.21). The Permittee has also accepted limits to establish the facility as an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Description of the activities allowed by this permit action
The MPCA has a combined operating and construction permitting program under Minn. R. ch. 7007, and under Minn. R. 7007.0800. Under that authority, this permit action authorizes construction. The action will transition the facility to a first time Pt. 70 permitted facility. This permit authorizes construction and operation of a natural gas combustion turbine with duct burner for combined heat and power, grain storage and handling equipment, expanded rail loading/unloading capabilities, equipment for fermentation, distillation, and product storage, an additional boiler, DDGS dryer, and RTO. Further, the Air Products (formerly EPCO Carbon Dioxide Products Inc.) facility currently co-located with Al-Corn will cease operations as part of the project. Air Products will continue to operate through 2017.
