MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – CRUSOE ENERGY SYSTEMS
THROUGH: Harold Burge, Major Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Joseph Randolph, Environmental Scientist
DATE: November 14, 2024
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUATION, Major, Duchesne County,
FRS ID #UT0000004901300215
INSPECTION DATE: October 23, 2024
SOURCE ADDRESS: 1 mile NE of Upalco
MAIL ADDRESS: 1641 California Street, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80202
SOURCE CONTACT(S): Michael Duplantis (Denver), 832-754-3833
JD Herbert, local contact - 435-828-2665
Chase Hadden – supervisor – 435-828-6589
OPERATING STATUS: Operating, All IC engines; Turbine off line.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION: The data center power station will contain two (2) compressor
engines, ten (10) generator engines, and one (1) turbine; all this
equipment will be fueled by gas that would otherwise be flared.
The gas comes from the adjacent facility to the north and other
nearby locations. Natural gas will be routed to compressor
engines to increase the pressure of the gas prior to the
mechanical refrigeration unit (MRU). The MRU strips out
natural gas liquids (NGLs), creating a leaner gas to be fed to the
turbine. Part of the MRU process includes the ethylene glycol
(EG) dehydration units that remove water from the fluid stream.
The gas is then directed to the generator engines and turbine. The
generators and turbine use the gas as fuel to generate electricity
for small data centers that will also be located onsite. The NGLs
will be stored in pressurized storage tanks before being loaded
offsite. Two (2) diesel-fuel emergency engine generators will be
on site to power the data centers should the compressor engines,
generator engines, turbine, and dehydrators go down or if there is
a loss of utility electrical power. To date, none of the process
equipment or back up engines have been installed.

Subject: Review of stack test report dated January 5, 2024
On January 8, 2024, the DAQ received a stack test report for emissions testing of the Crusoe Energy
Systems – Duchesne Data Center Power Station’s, two 530 hp Waukesha H24 compressor engines and
one 13,634 kw Titan 130 Turbine located 1 mile Northeast of Upalco, Duchesne County, UT. Testing was
performed December 20-21, 2023, to determine compliance with AO Condition II.B.2.a, and NSPS 40
CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ for NOX, CO, and VOC emissions. The DAQ calculated results are:

DEVIATIONS: No deviations were noted. The one discrepancy is the Turbine lb/hr value for
NOX, which is an error in entering the correct final value in the test report since
the three values listed in the report yield a final average of 2.44 lb/hr which
matches the DAQ calculated value.
CONCLUSION: All method stipulated QA/QC requirements appear to have been met as
determined by a review of the report and entering the provided data into our
Excel spreadsheets. The emissions test report appears to be acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION: The two 530 hp Waukesha H24 CEs and one 13,634 kw Titan 130 Turbine
should be considered to have been in compliance with the NOx, CO, and VOC
applicable emissions limits at the time of testing.
HPV: No.
