Permit PA-02065

Air Quality Reporting• Canadian Petroleum Products Institute (CPPI)

– Industry association – Involved in developing EHS policy practices for member companies

• Environmental & Safety Performance Report (ESPR)– Work with government on public policy– Develop guidelines for the safe handling of petroleum products

• Canadian Industrial Energy Efficiency Data Analysis Center (CIEEDAC) Survey– Energy survey from SFU (School of Resource and Environmental Mgt)

• Facilitate access to data on industrial energy consumption in Canada – governments creating policy– Utilities attempting to influence energy consumption

• Statistics Canada Large Final Emitters Survey

• MoE Permit Requirements

• National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI)– Legislated, publicly accessible federal database that lists pollutants released, disposed of

and recycled by facilities across the country that meet the reporting requirements

Pollution Control

• 1997 installation of Sulphur Recovery Unit – 75% reduction of SO2 emissions

• 2004-2006 Clean Fuels Project– Added benefit of reduced emissions

• Low NOx burners on several process heaters

• 2009 FCCU process analyzer– Monitor SO2 and control CO/NOx

Pollution control con’t

• Tank farm– floating roof tanks to reduce emissions

• Terminal loading– Use of submerged loading method reduces emissions

by ~60%

• Proposed future plans for the implementation of LDAR (leak detection and repair)– Focuses on fugitives from hydrocarbon lines, valves,

pumps etc
