I. OVERVIEW
The purpose of this document is to assist the applicant in identifying applicable State and Federal
Regulations, in determining whether a proposed storage tank will meet the requirements of a standard
exemption, or in preparing an application for an air quality permit. This document is intended to help
streamline the TNRCC permitting process and decrease the time required for a permit review. It will also
be used by TNRCC personnel as a resource document. Current Best Available Control Technology
(BACT) guidelines for storage tanks, example calculations, and example permit Special Conditions are also
included in this guidance package. It is important to remember that all representations made in a permit
application become conditions upon which a permit is issued, amended, or renewed.

II. DESCRIPTION

There are four basic tank designs used for storing liquids: fixed roof (vertical and horizontal), external
floating roof, internal floating roof, and pressure (low and high). Each type is briefly discussed below.

Fixed Roof Tanks This tank design has both vertical and
horizontal varieties. The vertical fixed roof tank consists of a
cylindrical metal shell with a permanently affixed roof. The
roof may vary in design from flat to cone-shaped to dome-
shaped. On the right is a diagram of a typical vertical fixed
roof tank. The horizontal variety are used for both above
ground and underground use. Fixed roof tanks are either
freely vented to the atmosphere or have a pressure/vacuum
vent which prevents vapor releases resulting from small Vertical Fixed Roof
Tank
changes in temperature, pressure, or liquid level.

External Floating Roof (EFR) Tanks This type of tank

consists of an open-topped cylindrical shell with a roof that
floats on the surface of the stored liquid. External floating roof
tanks have two varieties: pontoon or double deck. The
floating roof rises and falls with the liquid level in the tank.
They are constructed with a seal system which is attached to Pontoon-type
External Floating
the roof perimeter and contacts the tank wall. The objective
Roof Tank

of the floating roof and the seal system is to reduce the evaporative losses of the stored liquid. The floating
roof is penetrated by roof fittings that serve operational purposes. Some external floating roof tanks are
equipped with domed covers (geodesic domes) that reduce wind effects.

Internal Floating Roof (IFR) Tanks This tank design has both
a permanent fixed roof and a floating deck inside. The terms
"deck and "floating roof" are used inter-change-ab ly when
referring to the arrangement floating atop the liquid inside the
tank. There are two types of internal floating roof tanks: tanks
with the fixed roof supported by one or more vertical columns
within the tank, and tanks with a self-supporting fixed roof with
no internal vertical columns. Fixed roof tanks that have been Contact Deck
retrofitted with a floating roof typically have the internal support Internal Floating
column. External floating roof tanks that have been converted Roof Tank
to internal floating roof tanks typically have a self-supporting
roof. The floating roof in the internal floating roof tank rises and falls with the liquid level and either floats
directly on the liquid service (contact deck) or rests on pontoons several inches above the liquid surface
(noncon ta ct deck). Both types have seals and roof fittings for the same purposes as their counterparts
on external floating roof tanks.

Pressure Tanks The two classes of this type of tanks are low
pressure (2.5 to 15 psig), and high pressure (greater than 15
psig). These tanks are generally used for storing organic liquids
and gases with high vapor pressures. Low pressure tanks are
generally cylindrical in shape. High pressure tanks are typically
cylindrical or spherical in shape. Low pressure tanks typically
have emissions resulting from working losses that can occur
with the atmospheric venting of the tank during filling. High
Pressure Tank
pressure tanks have no emissions except for fugitive component
losses, or emergency condition losses.
III. APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
There are two types of sources which are regulated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation

Draft Page 2 of 53
Commission (TNRCC): existing sources and new sources. Existing sources were in existence prior to
September 1, 1971 and have not undergone modification. New sources were built or modified after
September 1, 1971, which was the date that permitting requirements began under Regulation VI (30 Texas
Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 116) of the TNRCC.

New or modified sources can be authorized through either a standard exemption or permit. Certain new
and modified sources are exempt from Regulation VI permitting requirements because their contribution
of air contaminants to the atmosphere is considered insignificant. Storage tanks that meet the requirements
of a standard exemption and 30 TAC § 116.211 do not require a permit. Attachment A is a compilation
of the current standard exemptions that apply to storage tanks. Checklists have also been developed for
some of these standard exemptions. These checklists can be used to readily determine if your storage tank
meets the requirement of a standard exemption. Checklists can be requested from the TNRCC or
downloaded from TNRCC OnLine bulletin board.

Regulation VI does not have specific requirements for storage tanks; however, all new sources must apply
Best Available Control Technology (BACT), taking into account both technical practicability and economic
reasonableness. This determination is made on a case by case basis considering the specific circumstances
of each application. At a minimum, a new source must meet the State or Federal regulatory performance
standards for existing sources. More often, new sources will have to perform above and beyond those
minimum requirements. Further discussion of BACT is provided in the next section.

In addition to the requirements of Regulation VI, existing and new storage tanks are regulated under the
following applicable regulations.

Applicable State Requirements

TNRCC 30 TAC Chapter 115 (Regulation V), Control of Air Pollution from Volatile Organic Compounds.
The major sections applicable to storage tanks are Subchapter B: General Volatile Organic Compound
Sources, and Storage of Volatile Organic Compounds, 30 TAC § 115.112-115.119, Industrial
Wastewater, 30 TAC § 115.140 - 115.149. Other sections of Regulation V do apply to storage tanks.

Draft Page 3 of 53
The minimum emission control requirements in 30 TAC § 115.112-115.119 are dependent upon the type
of material stored, true vapor pressure of the compound at storage conditions, storage capacity of the tank,
and the county where the facility is located.

The applicability of these NSPS standards depends upon the material stored, when the tanks were
constructed or modified, the tank size, and the true vapor pressure of the material stored. A summary of
the seal requirements from these NSPS requirements is presented in the following table. The NSPS
subparts should be referred to for complete information on requirements including roof fittings, seal

National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)

Subpart Y - National Emission Standard for Benzene Emissions from Benzene Storage Vessels, 40 CFR
§ 61.270 to § 61.277.

Subpart Y, with an effective date of September 14, 1989, applies to storage tanks greater than 10,000
gallons in capacity that store benzene. It requires either

IFR tanks with a liquid-mounted primary seal, or a mechanical shoe seal only or two seals, of
which the lower one can be vapor-mounted (both must be continuous (rim-mounted in TNRCC
terms)), OR

EFR tanks with either a liquid-mounted or mechanical shoe primary seal and a continuous (rim-
mounted) secondary seal, OR closed vent system and a control device that reduces benzene
emissions by 95%.

Most existing benzene storage tanks were required to meet these requirements no later than December 15,
1989. Some exceptions are noted in the Subpart. The Subpart should also be referred to for complete
information on requirements including roof fittings, seal inspections, and reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Subpart FF - National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations, 40 CFR § 61.340 to
§ 61.358.

This subpart applies to chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-product recovery plants , and petroleum
refineries at which the total annual benzene quantity from the facility exceeds 10 megagrams/yr. It has
requirements for storage tanks of waste streams containing benzene including (but not limited to ) organic
waste streams that contain less than 10 percent water. This subpart requires a fixed roof tank with closed
vent system that routes all organic vapors to a control device. Waste streams meeting certain composition,
vapor pressure, and/or tank capacities are exempted from the requirement for closed vent system and
control device. The subpart allows the owner to substitute an IFR with liquid-mounted seal, or with
mechanical shoe seal, or with vapor-ounted seal and rim-mounted secondary seal, or EFR with 2 seals
or the fixed roof with closed vent system and control device. The subpart should be referred to for
complete information on requirements including compliance, reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Subpart G - National Emission Standard for Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic
Chemical Manufacturing Industry

for Process Vents, Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater, 40 CFR § 63.110 to
§ 63.152, especially § 63.119 to § 63.123.

This subpart has requirements for Group 1 storage tanks. A Group 1 storage tank means a storage vessel
that meets the criteria for design storage capacity and stored-liquid maximum true vapor pressure specified
in table 5 of this subpart for storage vessels at existing sources, and in table 6 of this subpart for storage
vessels at new sources. A Group 2 storage tank means a storage vessel that does not meet the definition
of a Group 1 storage vessel. For those Group 1 chemicals with a true vapor pressure less than 11.1 psia,
the control requirements are as follows:

IFR tanks with a liquid-mounted primary seal, or a mechanical shoe seal only or two seals, of
which the lower one can be vapor-mounted (both must be continuous (rim-mounted in TNRCC

Draft Page 7 of 53
 terms);
EFR tanks with either a liquid-mounted or mechanical shoe primary seal and a continuous
(rim-mounted) secondary seal;

EFR tank converted to an IFR (with a fixed roof) having a liquid-mounted primary seal, or a

mechanical shoe seal only or two seals, of which the lower one can be vapor-mounted (both must

be continuous (rim-mounted in TNRCC terms); and

closed vent system and a control device that reduces hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions by
95%.

Group 1 chemicals having a true vapor pressure greater than or equal to 11.1 psia must have a closed vent
system and a control device that reduces HAP emissions by 95%.

The subpart should be referred to for complete information on requirements including compliance, reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.

IV. BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY GUIDELINES

TNRCC Regulation VI, § 116.111(3) states that the proposed facility will utilize Best Available Control
Technology (BACT), with consideration given to the technical practicability and economic reasonableness
of reducing or eliminating the emissions from the facility.

The BACT determination is performed on a case by case basis. BACT is subject to change at any time.
The applicant is encouraged to contact the New Source Review Program of the TNRCC to determine

current BACT requirements prior to submitting a permit or amendment application. The following table

should be consulted to determine whether or not a proposed storage tank meets what the TNRCC
currently considers BACT for storage tanks.

EFR Comments: Vapor-Mounted seals are not accepted by the TNRCC as a Primary Seal.
Shoe Mounted seals and Weather Shields are not accepted by the TNRCC as Secondary Seals. Credit
is given for reduction of wind effects when geodesic domes are used.

IFR Comments: A Vapor-Mounted Primary Seal alone is not accepted by the TNRCC. Shoe-ounted
seals and Weather Shields are not accepted by the TNRCC as Secondary Seals. Double wiper seals are
acceptable provided both seals are rim-mounted. Double wiper seals are considered to be vapor-mounted
primary seal with a rim-mounted secondary seal.

A Weather Shield is generally not impermeable to vapors and is not approvable as a secondary seal unless
specifically reviewed and determined to be vapor-tight.

Shoe-Mounted Secondary Seals do not form a barrier from the rim of the roof to the inside wall of the tank
shell and are therefore not accepted by the TNRCC.

V. ESTIMATING THE EMISSIONS

Emissions from storage tanks shall be estimated using the equations contained in Chapter 12, Storage of
Organic Liquids from AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors. This publication is published
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Chapter 12 was first published in October 1992 in
Supplement E to AP-42.

Both short term and annual emission rates must be estimated for each storage tank. The short term
emission rate is the worst case maximum emission rate that could be emitted from the storage tank and is
expressed in units of pounds of pollutant per hour (lbs/hr). Short term emission rates shall be calculated
using the true vapor pressure at the maximum liquid surface temperature. The annual emission rate is the
average emissions emitted from the tank over a year and is expressed in units of tons per year (tons/yr).
Annual emission rates are calculated using the true vapor pressure at the average annual liquid surface
temperature. If not defined, the average annual liquid surface temperature shall be calculated using
equations 1-13, 1-14 and 1-15 of AP-42, Chapter 12, Section 12.3.1. Note: The short term emission
equations used in this section supersedes those in the TNRCC Memorandum dated June 14, 1993 which
corresponded to the old Chapter 4 equations.

Data Required by the TNRCC: All submittals to the TNRCC for any permitting or standard exemption
requests that involve storage tanks shall include:

Short term and annual emission calculations for each storage tank. This can be in the form of
written calculations, spreadsheets, or printouts from tank emission calculation programs. The EPA
has a program available called TANKS Version 2.0 that will calculate tank emissions using AP-42,
Chapter 12 methodology. Other companies have also developed tank emission calculation
software.

The corresponding TNRCC tank data form for that particular type of tank. Examples of all the
forms can be found in Attachment B. The forms are Table 7(a) for vertical fixed roof tanks,
Table 7(b) for horizontal fixed roof tanks, Table 7(c) for external floating roof tanks, and
Table 7(d) for internal floating roof tanks. All forms must be filled out completely in order to

Draft Page 10 of 53
 provide the reviewing engineer with enough information to check emission calculations.
A Table 7(e), Chemical Data Information, must be submitted for each chemical not listed in
Attachment C, Chemicals Currently in Tanks 2.0 Database. This will allow the reviewing engineer
to check the emission calculations.

Fixed Roof Tanks The emissions from fixed roof tanks can be estimated by using the equations in AP-42,
Chapter 12 Section 12.3.1. The two types of emissions from fixed roof tanks are storage and working
losses. Storage loss, LS , is the expulsion of vapor from a tank through vapor expansion and contraction,
as a result of changes in temperature and barometric pressure. Storage loss is also called breathing loss
or standing storage loss. The loss from filling and emptying the tank is called working loss, LW .

Short term emissions for fixed roof tanks are calculated using the equation below.

LMAX = LW x FRM (V-1)

N x TCG
where:

LMAX = maximum short term emission rate, lbs/hour

LW = working loss calculated using AP-42, Chapter 12 at maximum liquid surface temperature,
lbs/yr (NOTE: units are lbs/year not lbs/hour. LW must be calculated using a
turnover factor, KN , of 1.)

FRM = maximum filling rate, gallons/hour

N = number of turnovers per year, dimensionless

TCG = tank capacity, gallons

Draft Page 11 of 53
External Floating Roof Tanks The emissions from external floating roof tanks can be estimated by using
the equations in AP-42, Chapter 12 Section 12.3.2. Total external floating roof tank emissions are the
sum of withdrawal losses, LWD , and standing storage losses, LS . Withdrawal losses occur as the liquid
level, and thus the floating roof, is lowered. Some liquid remains attached to the tank surface and is
exposed to the atmosphere. Standing storage losses from external floating roof tanks include rim seal
losses, LR , and roof fitting losses, LF . The majority of rim seal losses from external floating roof tanks
have been found to be wind-induced. Roof fitting loss emissions from external floating roof tanks result
from penetrations in the roof by deck fittings, such as access hatches, gauge-float wells,
gauge-hatch/sample wells, roof drains, roof legs, guidepole wells, and vacuum breakers.

Internal Floating Roof Tanks The emissions from internal floating roof tanks can be estimated by using the
equations in AP-42, Chapter 12 Section 12.3.3. Total internal floating roof tank emissions are the sum
of withdrawal losses, LWD , and standing storage losses, LS .Withdrawal losses occur in the same manner
as in external floating roof tanks. Standing storage losses from internal floating roof tanks include rim seal
losses, LR , deck fitting losses, LF , and deck seam losses, LD . The loss mechanisms described above for
external floating roof rim seal and roof fitting losses also apply to internal floating roofs. However, unlike
external floating roof tanks in which wind is the leading factor affecting rim seal loss, no major wind loss
mechanism has been identified for internal floating roof tank rim seal losses. Deck seams in internal floating
roof tanks are a source of emissions because they may not be completely vapor tight. Welded internal
floating roofs do not have deck seam losses.

Short Term Emissions from Floating Roof Tanks Short term emissions from both external floating roof
tanks and internal floating roof tanks are calculated by using the appropriate equations and using a
maximum throughput, QMAX , calculated by the following equation.

Draft Page 12 of 53
 QMAX = PRM x 8760 (V-2)

where:

QMAX = maximum throughput, bbls/yr

PRM = maximum pumping rate (higher of the maximum fill rate or the maximum withdrawal rate),
bbls/hr (NOTE: units are bbls/hour not gallons/hr. A pumping rate in gallons/hr
must be divided by 42 to get bbls/hr.)

8760 = number of hours per year, hours/year

QMAX is then used in equation 2-4 for external floating roof tanks and equation 3-4 for internal floating roof
tanks from AP-42 to get the maximum withdrawal losses. The other equations are also used as before to
get the total emissions. Applicants are reminded that short term emission rates shall be calculated using the
true vapor pressure at the maximum liquid surface temperature. The total losses for the tank expressed in
lbs/yr is then divided by 8760 to get the short term emission rate in lbs/hr.

Pressure Tanks High-pressure tanks are considered closed systems with no emissions. The EPA does
not currently have a method for calculating withdrawal losses from a low-pressure tank. Hence, emission
estimates for low-pressure tanks will be handled on a case by case basis

Other Emissions Fugitive emissions and loading emissions are two other types of emissions usually
associated with storage tanks. Please refer to the respective Technical Guidance Packages for these
sources for further information.

Special Cases The information below is provided to allow applicants to estimate emissions for storage
tanks that do not fit the typical cases described above. Some of the information provided below is
contained in a EPA document dated October 4, 1994 and entitled “Question and Answers on TANKS

Draft Page 13 of 53
Version 2.0 Software” TANKS 2.0 is a computer program available from the EPA to calculate emissions.
Underground fixed roof storage tanks are considered to have no storage losses (breathing losses) due
to the insulating nature of the earth surrounding the tank. Therefore, the total emissions from these tanks
consist of the working loss only and is calculated using the equations discussed above.

Constant level or surge tanks require an adjustment in the working or withdrawal loss equations. For
constant level tanks or surge tanks where the throughput and turnovers are high but the liquid level in the
tank remains relatively constant, the actual throughput or turnovers should not be used in the working loss
or withdrawal loss equations. For these tanks, the turnovers should be estimated by determining the
average change in the liquid height. The average change in height should then be divided by the total shell
height. This estimated turnover value should then be multiplied by the tank volume to obtain the net
throughput for the loss equations. Alternatively, a default turnover rate of 4 could be used.

Fixed roof tanks with a roof construction other than a cone or dome require calculation of the roof
outage, HRO , (the volume of space between the top of the tank shell and the roof) based on the geometry
of the roof and using other volume equations than those provided in AP-42, Chapter 12.

Fixed roof or internal floating roof tanks with a nitrogen gas blanket require no modification to the
equations discussed above. The TNRCC assumes for a conservative estimate that the gas blanket will not
affect emissions.

Insulated or heated tanks require modification to the temperature and vapor pressure variables for many
of the equations for storage losses and standing storage losses to account for the fact that the temperature
variations are less extreme for these types of tanks.

Internal floating roof tanks with Mechanical Shoe Primary Seals emissions are estimated using the
rim seal loss factor, KR , from Table 12.3-14 for the corresponding Liquid-mounted seal. AP-42 has no
rim seal loss factors for Internal floating roof tanks with Mechanical Shoe Primary Seals.

Draft Page 14 of 53
Domed external floating roof tank emissions are calculated using a combination of external floating roof
(EFR) tank and internal floating roof (IFR) tank equations. The external floating roof fitting loss factors
computed at a wind speed of 2.0 mph should be used to estimate fitting losses from the domed EFR. The
seal losses should be calculated based on the internal floating roof tank. Most EFR tanks are equipped
with shoe-mounted seals. There is no shoe-mounted seal option available for IFR tanks; therefore, if the
tank is equipped with shoe-mounted seals treat them as liquid-mounted seals for the purposes of estimating
seal losses. The combination of these losses will be equivalent to the standing storage losses. The
withdrawal losses can be calculated by using either the IFR or EFR options. The withdrawal losses will
be the same regardless of the tank construction in this case.

Tanks vented to a control device still require estimation of their emissions. First, the emissions for the
tank are calculated using AP-42, Chapter 12. Then take a percent reduction using the effectiveness of the
device. Note: Current TNRCC BACT guidelines call for flares to have a 98% destruction efficiency, and
a 99.9% destruction efficiency for other combustion devices not in hazardous waste service, and 99.99%
destruction efficiency for other combustion devices in hazardous waste service. Therefore, the emissions
from a tank vented to a flare would be only 2% of the emissions leaving the tank and would be listed as
flare emissions on the permit maximum allowable emission rates table (MAERT).

Vapor balanced tank emissions are calculated using AP-42, Chapter 12, Section 12.3.4 for variable
vapor space tanks.

Tanks containing liquids with dissolved gases that flash to a vapor in the tank require the following
modification to the emission estimation methodology. All of the dissolved gases are assumed to be emitted
and AP-42 Chapter 12 equations are used to calculate emissions from the remaining liquid.

VI. EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS
Examples of storage tank emission calculations can be found in AP-42, Chapter 12, Section 12.5 and
examples in the TANKS 2.0 software and User's Guide. Examples of short term emission calculations for
two cases: a vertical fixed roof tank and an internal floating roof tank, can be found in Attachment E,
Emission Calculations for Storage Tanks.

VII. EXAMPLE PERMIT CONDITIONS

The example permit special conditions which follow are for storage tanks in general. The example
conditions were extracted from a variety of permits with tanks. The inclusion of these conditions is not
meant to imply that this set of conditions will be applied to all storage tank projects, merely to serve as
examples of provisions found in permits with storage tanks. The specific conditions may vary depending
on the control technology set-up (flare, thermal oxidizer, scrubber, etc.) used. The example conditions do
not include a Maximum Allowable Emission Rates Table or an approved chemicals list. Such a table and
list would be included as a part of an actual permit. Also not included in the following conditions is a
fugitive monitoring and maintenance program. Such a program would be included in the permit if it was
determined to be necessary during the permit review.

NOTES ON SAMPLE PERMIT CONDITIONS

1. This special condition is used to limit tank usage to an approved chemical list. Sometimes the
chemical are included in the condition instead of using an approved chemical list. Sometimes,
throughput limitations are included in this condition or a separate special condition

2. This condition is used to set a compliance schedule for the upgrade of seals on a storage tank. If
existing tanks do not meet BACT guidelines and are to be permitted, the permit engineer will work
with the company to set a deadline for seal upgrade.

Draft Page 20 of 53
3. This condition is usually used in conjunction with the previous condition. Typically, a tank will be
limited to the throughput it had prior to being permitted and throughput increases for the tank are
not permitted until the seals are upgraded.

4. This condition is sometimes included in a permit to ensure tanks seals are properly maintained.

5. This condition is used when the material to be stored can have different vapor pressures depending
upon material composition, etc. The vapor pressure cited in the provision is the maximum vapor
pressure that was used in calculating emissions. This condition is typically used in gasoline terminal
permits.

6. This condition is sometimes included in a permit to minimize emissions from unloading/loading of

the tank.

7. This condition is used when modeling demonstrates that emissions must discharge at a certain height
in order to have acceptable health impacts.

8. This condition is used to state the applicability of NSPS regulations to the facility.

9. This condition is used to state the applicability of NESHAPS regulations to the facility.

10. These conditions are used to specify control requirements for the storage tanks at a facility. It is
typically used at facilities that have many tanks.

11. This condition is used to specify recordkeeping requirements. Throughput limitations can also be
set if they were not included in earlier conditions such as Special Condition No.1

Example Calculations

Example 1 - Vertical Fixed Roof Tank.

Alamo Chemical Co. in San Antonio stores cyclohexane in a vertical fixed roof tank. The shell height is
12 ft., tank diameter is six ft. The liquid height in the tank is 8 ft. The tank volume is 1692 gallons and the
tank has 5 turnovers a year. Both the tank shell and roof are white. The maximum filling rate is 200
gallons/hr.

EPA Tanks 2.0 program was run to get the annual emissions - 92.09 lbs/yr. (see printout)

The Tanks program was run again for monthly emissions to determine which month had the highest working
or withdrawal losses LW. July had the highest withdrawal loss - 2.7709 lbs for the month. This number
is multiplied by 12 months to get a worst case maximum annual working loss of 33.2508 lbs/yr.

Using equation V-1,

LMAX = LW x FRM (V-1)

N x TCG
where:

LMAX = maximum short term emission rate, lbs/hour

LW = working loss calculated using AP-42, Chapter 12 at maximum liquid surface

temperature, lbs/yr (NOTE: units are lbs/year not lbs/hour. LW must be calculated using
a turnover factor, KN , of 1.) = 33.2508

FRM = maximum filling rate, gallons/hour = 200

N = number of turnovers per year, dimensionless = 5

TCG = tank capacity, gallons = 8460

LMAX = 33.2508 x 200 = 0.16 lbs/hr.

8460 x 5

Draft Page 36 of 53
Example 2 - Internal Floating Roof Tank.

Acme Storage Tanks in Waco stores acetone in a internal floating roof tank. The tank’s shell and roof are
white in color with light rust and the tank has a single liquid-mounted primary seal. The tank is 70 ft. in
diameter and has a 1,000,000 gallon capacity. The tank has 50 turnovers per year. The tank deck is
welded. Controlled typical fittings are assumed for this tank. The maximum filling rate for the tank is
58,000 gallon per hour.

EPA Tanks 2.0 was run to get the annual emissions - 1771.64 lbs/yr. (see printout)

Using Equation V-2,

QMAX = PRM x 8760 (V-2)

where:

QMAX = maximum throughput, bbls/yr

PRM = maximum pumping rate (higher of the maximum fill rate or the maximum withdrawal rate),
bbls/hr (NOTE: units are bbls/hour not gallons/hr. A pumping rate in gallons/hr
must be divided by 42 to get bbls/hr.)

8760 = number of hours per year, hours/year

For this example, Qmax will be calculated in gallons per year since they are the units used in the Tanks 2.0
program.

Qmax = 58,000 x 8760 = 508,080,000 gallons per year. This number is divided by the tank capacity
to get the maximum turnovers of 508 that is plugged into the Tanks 2.0 program.

From the Tanks 2.0 printout (attached), we get an annual emissions value of 3253.01 lbs per year. This
value is divided by 8760 hours in a year to get the maximum short term emission rate of 0.37 lbs/hr.

NOTE: Copies of the TANKS 2.0 data printouts are not available in electronic format.
