Flare Control System Design to Comply with EPA RSR-63.670 Rules Instructor(s) George Cheng - Chief Technical Officer, CyboSoft Course Length 2 Hours Course Description The deadline for refineries to comply with EPA RSR-63.670 rules is approaching. Flares must maintain a minimum combustion zone net heating value of 270 Btu/scf. In addition, for air assisted flares, the combustion zone net heating value dilution parameter must be above 22 Btu/sq.ft. In order to achieve these goals, flare control systems are critical. Technically, flare control is very difficult because: (1) The vent gas flow can change widely; (2) The heating value in vent gas can change widely and quickly; (3) Nitrogen is often used as purge gas to maintain positive pressure in the vent pipe, making the process more complex; (4) There are large and varying time delays in the heating value control loops, and (5) The heating value process is extremely nonlinear in different operating conditions. Flares are difficult to control using conventional PID controllers. Model-based control can be costly to develop and maintain. CyboSoft is offering a field-proven flare control solution with its CyboCon Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) control software. In this training session, we will show how to design control systems for a steam assisted flare and an air assisted flare. We will run real-time control simulations to compare the performance when controlling combustion zone net heating value with different methods under varying operating conditions. CyboSoft’s Flare Process Modeling and Control Similation Software will be used in this class to demonstrate the following results: (1) A flare process is under good control where the combustion zone net heating value is above 270 But/scf under

varying operating conditions; (2) A flare process may not meet the 270 But/scf requirement due to poor steam control; and (3) A flare process is not controlled well due to slow GC data. In the Q&A session, we can discuss: (1) RSR-63.670 regulations relating to control system design considerations, (2) Vent gas heating value measurement, (3) 15-min data block calculations, (4) How to integrate a flare control system with an existing DCS, and (5) implementation of MFA flare control systems for your specific applications.

How to Effectively Control Wastewater pH, ORP and Turbidity Instructor(s) George Cheng - CTO, CyboSoft Course Length 2 Hours Course Description We are entering the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, where everything is supposed to be ‘smart’. Ironically, about 90% industrial wastewater pH processes are still controlled by on-off Bang-Bang control, resulting in chemical reagent wastes, equipment corrosion, and environmental pollution. Most process plants generate a wastewater effluent that must be neutralized prior to discharge or reuse. Statistics show that a poorly controlled pH process can cost tens of thousands of dollars in chemical usage each month, not counting the penalties imposed by violating EPA or local discharge codes. A pH process is extremely nonlinear. The pH value versus the reagent flow has a logarithmic relationship. Away from neutrality, the process gain is relatively small. Near neutrality, where pH=7, the process gain can be a few thousand times higher. It is impossible for a fixed controller like PID to control this process. In this training class, we will show the behavior of pH processes by running CyboSoft’s Real-Time pH Process Modeling and Control Simulation Software that includes: (1) pH process diagram, (2) a strong-acid-strong-base pH model, (3) a weak-acid-strong-base pH model, (4) a strong-acid-weak-base pH model, (5) a weak-acid-weak-base pH model, (6) MFA control simulation for the 4 pH processes using an MFA pH controller, (7) PID control simulation for the 4 pH processes, (8) On-Off control simulation for the 4 pH processes, (9) graphical interface with control faceplates and real-time trends, and (10) pH process model description, MFA controllers used, and recommended control strategy. CyboSoft has been offering Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) control solutions and products since 1997. Various MFA control application examples for pH, ORP, and turbidity will be presented in the class. We will also discuss how to implement effective wastewater control systems for pH, ORP, and Turbidity with new or existing instrumentation for your specific applications.

Oil & Gas Air Regulations – What You Need to Focus on Now Instructor(s) Jay Christopher - Senior Scientist, Trihydro Calvin Niss - Senior Vice President, Trihydro Jana White - PhD Ecologist, Trihydro Course Length 8 Hours Course Description The oil and gas sector has seen massive regulatory change since 2016, particularly with respect to air compliance requirements. Regulations have issued, withdrawn, and modified by multiple regulatory agencies. In addition, challenges to some of these regulations have been made in the courts. The end result is a confusing mix of regulations, policies and expectations. This workshop will provide some clarity and direction about what the oil and gas sector should be doing now. While not providing formal legal guidance, the workshop will address the compliance challenges confronting upstream and midstream oil and gas companies in meeting EPA and BLM regulations, as well as some evolving issues at the State level. We will particularly focus on EPA’s New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) OOOOa requirements around the implementation of a volatile organic compound (VOC) and methane leak detection and repair (LDAR) monitoring and reporting program as well as associated with the final Bureau of Land Management (BLM) venting and flaring rule (e.g., Waste Prevention) requirements.

Particulate Matter Measurement Demystified Instructor(s) David Elam - Principal, TRC Solutions Course Length 4 Hours Course Description Measurement of particulate matter (PM) traces to the promulgation of EPA Reference Method 5 and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Although seemingly simple, the measurement of particulate matter has proved challenging, requiring EPA to define particulate matter – and particulate matter measurement methods – in specific terms that reflect source characteristics and regulations that govern particulate matter emissions. Despite advances in air quality, many jurisdictions struggle with attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter because NAAQS focus on fine and ultrafine PM. As a result, operating permits will include EPA Method 201A for the measurement of particulate matter less than 10µm (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2.5µm (PM2.5) and EPA Method 202 for condensable particulate matter (CPM). In some cases, a source may operate without a Method 201A or 202 testing requirement; however, the source will find that it must consider PM10, PM2.5, and CPM emissions when expanding operations. This four-hour workshop will examine particulate measurement and sizing methods, focusing on the benefits and limitations of each, providing insights that will help a source choose the right PM measurement strategy to achieve compliance, operational, and facility expansion objectives.

Process Heater and Boiler Tune Up Training Instructor(s) Mike Sanders - Principal Engineer, Alpha3 Consulting LLC John Bacon - Senior Project Manager, TRC Companies, Inc. Course Length 4 Hours Course Description Heater and boiler tuning is not a new practice, but with the advent of 40 CFR 63 Subpart DDDDD, or the Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) Heater and Boiler MACT Rule, it is required for all affected major source facilities. Despite the initial belief that MACT DDDDD is just another costly EPA regulation, implementation of the work practice standard has provided a wealth of information substantiating that regular heater and boiler tune-ups can save significant costs through improvements in fuel efficiency, energy reduction credits, and safety. More notably, there is a simple payback on the tune-up services within months. Heater and boiler tuning has been described as part science and part intimate knowledge of the equipment’s operational characteristics and process needs. And while many facilities believe their heaters and boilers to be well optimized, compliance tuning efforts have revealed that this is not always the case. Course instructors have a combined, 60-plus years of tuning and environmental regulatory experience which they will share with attendees to better educate industry on the importance of combustion optimization and to help align the efforts of operations/process and environmental departments on practices that benefit both. In this course, attendees will: Review the subpart DDDDD Heater and Boiler MACT Regulation; Cover the technical aspects of combustion tuning; Review key aspects of combustion engineering and burner performance; Address the regulatory compliance requirements for tune ups; Look at MACT DDDDD case studies for which regularly occurring tune ups have been performed; Discuss the benefits of heater and boiler tuning including cost savings, energy reduction credits, safety, and alignment with organizational values; Summarize a host of other thermal energy systems that are also beneficial to assess for energy efficiency improvements.

Refinery Sector Rule Focused Compliance Instructor(s) Jeremy Sell - Air Compliance Team Leader, Trihydro Corporation Stephen Walls - Air Permitting Engineer, Trihydro Corporation Rebecca Bradley - Environmental Engineer, Trihydro Corporation Course Length 8 Hours Course Description Since the February 1, 2016 promulgation date, refineries have been scrambling to meet compliance deadlines in the revised MACT Subparts CC and UUU regulations, collectively known as the Refinery Sector Rule (RSR). This workshop begins by providing an overview of the regulatory requirements and compliance deadlines of affected sources including storage vessels, process vents, fenceline monitoring, flares, catalytic cracking units, and other refinery process units (e.g., sulfur recovery units, reformers, and cokers). The remainder of the workshop will provide a more detailed and focused look at specific compliance elements for each affected source. The workshop will explore possible methods for identifying flare events, vent gas monitoring options and development of written plans for refinery flares. Establishing fenceline monitoring programs and managing data will also be covered. This workshop will also look at managing process vents and pressure relief device programs under the RSR. We will present shared learnings from development of RSR compliance programs when possible to assist refineries in achieving future compliance.

Video Imaging Spectral Radiometry as an Alternative Monitoring Method for the Refinery Sector Rule Instructor(s) Yousheng Zeng - CEO, Providence Photonics Course Length 8 Hours Course Description Instrumentation for flare monitoring has been focused on the feed side, e.g., flow rate of vent gas and supplemental fuel, composition, net heating value, steam or air flow rate, etc. There is no instrumentation to provide feedback to the flare operator on how the flare is actually performing. This is due to the lack of technology that can continuously monitor the result of flare combustion. While other process units such as furnaces, reactors, scrubbers, etc. always have instruments to provide feedback, the flare is operated in the dark. Now a new technology has been developed that can be used to remotely monitor flare performance and provide instant feedback to a flare operator. The technology is called Video Imaging Spectro-Radiometry (VISR), and it has been validated with full scale flares and extractive sampling tests. With VISR, a flare operator will have a dashboard that provides essential flare operation and performance parameters including directly measured combustion efficiency, level of smoke, flame stability, flame size, and heat released from flare combustion. With this flare dashboard, an operator finally has the information needed to operate the flare at peak performance day or night. This course will cover flare feed side instrumentation (flow, temperature, pressure, online gas chromatography (GC) and calorimeter), VISR technology, and flare dashboard. Relevant regulatory compliance topics such as flare monitoring requirements in the Refinery Sector Rule will also be included in this class.
