Project Description
MSA has requested permission to update AO DAQE-AN141770004-21, dated February 18, 2021. MSA
will use the latest EPA Tanks 5.0 to estimate the emissions of VOC. Using EPA Tanks 5.0, the emissions
from the source will be reduced from 60.24 tpy to 31.18 tpy. This methodology will make the source a
synthetic minor source under serious ozone nonattainment area thresholds. No other changes are being
made to the plant. This change is done under R307-401-12, Reduction in Air Pollutants.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emissions Estimates: The emissions estimates were calculated as follows: Unloading/loading of oil products by AP-42 Section 5.2 Storing asphalt, ATBs, and ACO in tanks by EPA Tanks version 5.0 (ACO is represented by the highest Reid vapor pressure crude oil in the emission calculations due it having a higher emissions potential, compared to ATB's or asphalt.) Flare device by AP-42 Section 13.5 Boiler operation by AP-42 Section 1.4 Equipment leaks by EPA-435/R-95-017 CO2e by AP-42 Table 1.4-2; and Part 98, Subpart A, Table A-1. [Last updated July 29, 2024]
2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) 40 CFR 60 Subpart Dc applies to owners and operators of small industrial-commercial-institutional
steam generating units (boilers) between 100 MMBtu/hr and 10 MMBtu/hr. This steam generating unit or boiler uses NG and the reporting is to document how much NG is used. Since this source will have three steam generators or boilers at 10 MMBtu/hr, NSPS Subpart Dc will apply to this plant.
40 CFR 60 Subpart Kb applies to owners and operators of organic liquid storage vessels greater than
75 m3 (with a vapor pressure greater than 15 kPa) and 151 m3 (with a vapor pressure greater than 3.5 kPa). This site has three storage tanks with 19,215 m3; therefore, Subpart Kb applies to this source.
40 CFR 60 Subpart VVa applies to owners and operators of equipment leaks in the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry (SOCMI). The source does not manufacture any SOCMI with the asphalt or black wax crude oil it receives; therefore, this subpart doesn't apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 (MACT) 40 CFR 63 Subpart LLLLL applies to the asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing plants (at major sources of HAPs). This is an area source and therefore, Subpart LLLLL doesn't apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ applies to industrial, commercial and institutional boilers at area sources. This subpart is for coal or fuel oil-firing of the boilers and the plant uses natural gas. Therefore, Subpart JJJJJJ doesn't apply to this source.
40 CFR 63 Subpart AAAAAAA applies to asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing plants (at minor sources of HAPs). This is an area source, but does not blow air through the asphalt; therefore, Subpart AAAAAAA does not apply to this source. [Last updated May 15, 2024]
Engineer Review N141770005: Mountain States Asphalt, Inc.- Liquid Asphalt, ATB's, and Crude Oil Terminal August 7, 2024 Page 12
3. Comment regarding Title V Requirments: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source 2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; 3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants. 4. Any Title IV affected source. This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) and 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP)
regulations. NSPS Subpart Dc, when natural gas is used, requires the maintenance of consumption records that support no consumption limit. NSPS Subpart Kb requires the source to maintain storage tank dimensions for the life of the tank. Title V does not apply because NSPS Subpart Dc and Kb have record keeping-only requirements. Recordkeeping requirements are not considered standards or limitations. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a part 70 permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this facility.
[Last updated May 15, 2024] 4. Comment regarding Use of EPA Tanks 5.0:
In the existing AO, MSA used EPA Tanks 4.0b tool for the estimation of the VOC emissions from the Tooele asphalt, ATB, and ACO plant, with the result of 60.24 tpy. MSA has proposed to use EPA Tanks 5.0 tool for the estimation of the VOC emissions in the future AO. Use of EPA Tanks 5.0 will result in a VOC emissions rate of 31.18 tpy.

SOURCE DESCRIPTION General Description
Mountain States Asphalt, Inc. (MSA) receives asphalt, atmospheric tower bottoms (ATB), and other assorted crude oils (ACO) at the plant, located in Tooele, Tooele County, by train or truck. Thirty-six vertical fixed roof (VFR) tanks will store the asphalt, ATBs, or ACO. Thirty-one
train/truck unloading/loading stations are in the plant. The emissions from the asphalt, ATB, or ACO unloading/loading and storage tanks will be controlled by a submerged filling system; vapor balancing system; and enclosed flare device. The asphalt is sold to third party customers to make asphalt paving materials at various locations throughout the area. The local petroleum refineries will use this terminal to store ATBs and ACO until they are ready to process it in their separate plants. The ATBs and ACO terminal will be capable of a throughput of 3,266,750 barrels (137,203,500 gallons) per rolling 12-month period. The production of asphalt will be capable of a throughput of 1,095,238 barrels (46,000,000 gallons) per rolling 12-month period.

REVIEWER COMMENTS
1. Comment regarding Emissions Estimates: The emissions estimates were calculated as follows: Unloading/loading of oil products by AP-42 Section 5.2 Storing asphalt, ATBs, and ACO in tanks by EPA Tanks version 5.0 (ACO is represented by the highest Reid vapor pressure crude oil in the emission calculations due it having a higher emissions potential, compared to ATB's or asphalt.) Flare device by AP-42 Section 13.5 Boiler operation by AP-42 Section 1.4 Equipment leaks by EPA-435/R-95-017 CO2e by AP-42 Table 1.4-2; and Part 98, Subpart A, Table A-1. [Last updated July 29, 2024]
2. Comment regarding NSPS and MACT: 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) 40 CFR 60 Subpart Dc applies to owners and operators of small industrial-commercial-institutional
steam generating units (boilers) between 100 MMBtu/hr and 10 MMBtu/hr. This steam generating unit or boiler uses NG and the reporting is to document how much NG is used. Since this source will have three steam generators or boilers at 10 MMBtu/hr, NSPS Subpart Dc will apply to this plant.
40 CFR 60 Subpart Kb applies to owners and operators of organic liquid storage vessels greater than
75 m3 (with a vapor pressure greater than 15 kPa) and 151 m3 (with a vapor pressure greater than 3.5 kPa). This site has three storage tanks with 19,215 m3; therefore, Subpart Kb applies to this source.
40 CFR 60 Subpart VVa applies to owners and operators of equipment leaks in the synthetic organic chemicals manufacturing industry (SOCMI). The source does not manufacture any SOCMI with the asphalt or black wax crude oil it receives; therefore, this subpart doesn't apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 (MACT) 40 CFR 63 Subpart LLLLL applies to the asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing plants (at major sources of HAPs). This is an area source and therefore, Subpart LLLLL doesn't apply to this source. 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ applies to industrial, commercial and institutional boilers at area sources. This subpart is for coal or fuel oil-firing of the boilers and the plant uses natural gas. Therefore, Subpart JJJJJJ doesn't apply to this source.
40 CFR 63 Subpart AAAAAAA applies to asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing plants (at minor sources of HAPs). This is an area source, but does not blow air through the asphalt; therefore, Subpart AAAAAAA does not apply to this source. [Last updated May 15, 2024]
Engineer Review N141770005: Mountain States Asphalt, Inc.- Liquid Asphalt, ATB's, and Crude Oil Terminal July 29, 2024 Page 12
3. Comment regarding Title V Requirments: Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Title V) applies to the following:
1. Any major source 2. Any source subject to a standard, limitation, or other requirement under Section 111 of the Act, Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources; 3. Any source subject to a standard or other requirement under Section 112 of the Act, Hazardous
Air Pollutants. 4. Any Title IV affected source. This facility is not a major source and is not a Title IV source. The facility is subject to 40 CFR 60 (NSPS) and 40 CFR 63 (MACT) regulations. The facility is not subject to 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP)
regulations. NSPS Subpart Dc, when natural gas is used, requires the maintenance of consumption records that support no consumption limit. NSPS Subpart Kb requires the source to maintain storage tank dimensions for the life of the tank. Title V does not apply because NSPS Subpart Dc and Kb have record keeping-only requirements. Recordkeeping requirements are not considered standards or limitations. There are no other reasons why this source would be required to obtain a part 70 permit; therefore, Title V does not apply to this facility.
[Last updated May 15, 2024] 4. Comment regarding Use of EPA Tanks 5.0:
In the existing AO, MSA used EPA Tanks 4.0b tool for the estimation of the VOC emissions from the Tooele asphalt, ATB, and ACO plant, with the result of 60.24 tpy. MSA has proposed to use EPA Tanks 5.0 tool for the estimation of the VOC emissions in the future AO. Use of EPA Tanks 5.0 will result in a VOC emissions rate of 31.18 tpy.

Estimates of Air Emissions from Asphalt
Storage Tanks and Truck Loading

Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act requires the accurate
estimation of emissions
processes, and places theburden

of proof for that estimate
on the process owner. This paper is published as a tool to
assist in the estimation of air emissions from hot asphalt
storage tanks and asphalt truck Loading operations. Data
are presented on asphalt vapor pressure, vapor molecular
weight, and the emission split between volatile organic
compounds and particulate emissions that can be used
with AP-42 calculation techniques to estimate air
emissions from asphalt storage tanks and truck loading
operations.Since current AP-42 techniques are not valid
in asphalt tanks with active fume removal, a different
technique for estimation of air emissions in those tanks,
based on direct measurement of vapor space combustible
gas content, is proposed. Likewise, since AP-42 does not
address carbon monoxide or hydrogen sulfide emissions
that are known to be present in asphalt operations, this
paper proposes

data are presented on the effectiveness of fiber bed
jilters in reducing air emissions in asphalt operations.
INTRODUCTION
The use of asphalt is prevalent throughout recorded
history. It is produced in refinery distillation towers and
solvent extraction units. Asphalt is modified by several
means: reacting with oxygen in blowing operations to
produce roofing asphalts, emulsifying to produce an
aqueous liquid at ambient temperature, blending with
solvents to make asphalt cutback, or blending or even
reacting with polymers to make polymer modified asphalt.
In all these cases the asphalt is stored in tanks, usually
fixed roof tanks, and is loaded into trucks to ship to
customers.
Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act required the accurate
estimation of emissions from all U.S. manufacturing
processes, and placed the burden of proof for that estimate
on the process owner. In response to Title V, Owens
Corning analyzed options for estimating emissions from
250
Winter 1999
asphalt tanks and loading operations and this paper is the
result of that study. In particular, attempts have been made
to develop data to be used with existing calculation
methods to estimate air emissions in asphalt operations, to
develop calculation schemes that work when existing
methods cannot be used, and to expand the number of
pollutants estimated. The techniques described in this
paper have been used by Owens Corning to estimate
asphalt emissions from their asphalt plants for many Title V
permit applications.
Owens Corning also evaluated appropriate emission
factors for the asphalt blowing process and that analysis has
been published [I].
The Emission Factor and Inventory Group in the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards develops and maintains a
database of emission factors and a series of calculation
methods for estimating air emissions from manufacturing
processes. These emission factors are published in a series
known as AP-42 [2]. One technique published in AP-42
calculates hydrocarbon emissions from a fixed roof tank
storing petroleum products [3], and another calculates
emissions for loading trucks with petroleum products [4].
These techniques require data on asphalt vapor pressure
and the molecular weight of the -asphalt vapor. The
calculations result in an estimate of the amount of
hydrocarbons emitted from the process. To complete the
emission estimate, these hydrocarbons need to be split into
particulate emissions (PM) and volatile organic compounds
(VOC), and any control device collection or destruction
efficiencies need to be applied.
In the AP-42 calculation of emissions from fixed roof
tanks it is assumed that the motive force pushing vapor out
of the tank comes from either the pumping of liquid into
the tank or the expansion of tank contents due to
temperature changes. For tanks with an active ventilation
system this assumption is invalid and a different method of
emission estimation is required. This is especially true if an
air sweep is used to control the vapor space composition to
Environmental Progress (Vol.18,
No.4)
No.4)
prevent explosive conditions [5,6]. A technique to estimate
emissions from these actively controlled tanks is described
in the section of this paper on non AP-42 estimates.
AP-42 EMISSION ESTIMATING TECHNIQUES FOR ASPHALT EQUIPMENT
Passive vented hot asphalt tanks: AP-42 for fixed roof
petroleum tanks can be used to calculate total hydrocarbon
emissions from asphalt and oil tanks that are passively
vented to the atmosphere. This AP-42 calculation, simply
stated, determines the amount of hydrocarbon in the tank
vapor space from the vapor pressure of the material in the
tank at the liquid surface temperature, and then calculates
the amount of vapor forced out of the tank due to liquid
being actively pumped into the tank (working losses), or
due to thermal expansion or contraction of tank contents
driven by ambient temperature changes (breathing losses).
The result is an actual weight of hydrocarbon emissions in
a specified time period. A detailed description of the tank
calculations is available from th e EPA web site [3]. The AP-
42 calculation requires a vapor pressure versus temperature
curve for the asphalt, and also estimates of the vapor phase
molecular weight and partition of hydrocarbons into VOC
and particulate, in addition to process data like asphalt
throughput. temperature. and tank level. If the tank
passively breathes through a control device, then the
appropriate control efficiency is applied to the VOC and
particulate emissions calculated from AP-42.
Hot Asphalt Loading: The AP-42 calculation for
hydrocarbon emissions from truck or rail tank car loading
of asphalt is done by estimating the amount of evaporation
during the loading process. The estimate takes into account
the turbulence and vapor liquid contact induced by the
method of loading, i.e . submerged versus splash loading.
The calculation result is an emission related to the number
of tons of material loaded into the truck. Vapor pressure
versus temperature c urve s,, temperature of loading, and
throughputs are key variables in this calculation. Again, the
hydrocarbon emission resulting from this calculation needs
to be split into pa rticu latess and VOC s and control device
collection and destruction efficiencies need to be applied. A
detailed description of the loading calculations is available
from the EPA web site [4].
DATA NEEDED FOR APPLICATION OF AP-42 TO ASPHALT EQUIPMENT
Vapor Pressure: Information on asphalt vapor pressure as a
function of temperature is not readily available in the
literature and its measurement is not common. However,
these data are essential to use AP-42 calculations for
estimating asphalt tank and loading emissions. Asphalts
from different crude oil sources and from different
processes will differ in composition and vapor pressure. In
the extreme, every residual material used in asphalt
processing would need to be measured for vapor pressure
at multiple temperatures. This would entail a prohibitive
estimates. To provide a cost effective solution to this
problem for its emission calculations, Owens Corning has
Environmental Progress (Vol.18 , No.4)
characterized the vapor pressure of three basic classes of
asphalt materials. chosen by their processing history. An
estimate of the vapor pressure of each asphalt class was
made by measuring asphalts from multiple crude oil
source s in each class and using the average vapor pressure
at each temperature in a regression to generate one vapor
pressure equation for tha t class. The three classes of asphalt
chosen for this analysis follow.
Flux asphalts. or vacuum tower bottoms that can be
in the asphalt blowing process to make
specification roofing asphalts. These materials generally
have a higher vapor pressure than paving asphalts.
Paving asphalts, or vacuum tower bottoms that meet
paving specifications.
Oxidized asphalt, or vacuum tower bottoms that have
been reacted with oxygen in the asphalt blowing process
to increase their softening point and viscosity. Typical
softening points are greater than 190°F (88°C) These
materials are also called air blown asphalts and are used
extensively in the roofing industry. They generally have
lower vapor pressure than the other two classes.
Va por pressure measurements described in this paper were
clone by the Phoenix Chemical Lab in Chicago using the
Isoteniscope (ASTM D2879).
To facilitate computer calculations it is desirable to develop
an equation that accurately describes the relationship of vapor
pressure and temperature. Thermodynamic treatment of the
dependence of vapor pressure on temperature has led to the
Clausius modification of the Clapeyron equation [7].
Clausius Clapeyron Treatment of Vapor Pressure Data
In P = a + b/T
Where: P is the equilibrium vapor pressure
of the liquid in question,
a & b are constants. and
T is the absolute temperature of the liquid
in question.
Values of a & b depend on the choice of
pressure and temperature units.
Table 1 and Figure 1 give an example of the agreement of
this equation with vapor pressure data for oxidized asphalts
from 13 sources around the country. In Figure 1 , vapor
pressure of each asphalt is plotted versus temperature to show
each individual asphalt’s data to the Clausius Clapeyron
rela tio ns hip .. The correlation coefficients in Table 1 indicate
that the agreement of this equation to all individual asphalt
vapor pressure ve rsus temperature data is excellent, with
correlation coefficients for the individual asphalts greater than
0.9999. The agreement is also excellent for the individual
asphalts making up the other two asphalt classes. Table 1 also
presents the methodology to choose constants to use with the

Clausius Clapeyron equation to calculate 3 representative
vapor pressure at any temperature for the class of oxidized
asphalts. Essentially the technique consists of averaging the
vapor pressures of the 13 asphalts at each temperature and
then using those averages to curve fit the data to the desired
equation. This gives higher values and is more conservative
than averaging the vapor pressures after the log transformation
is made. The standard curve is developed by using this
regression equation to calculate vapor pressures at different
temperatures. and for the oxidized class that data is indicated
in Table 1 and also by the straight line in Figure 1.
The form of the Clausius Clapeyron equation is somewhat
cumbersome to use, especially in graphical form, and so an
alternative equation was developed which used a log/log
relationship to characterize the data.

Pressure Summary: Table 2 gives a summary of the
regression constants to be used in either of the equations
discussed above to calculate the vapor pressure for the three
classes of asphalt at any temperature. Also indicated are the
number of asphalts that were used to develop the equation
for each class. and the average correlation coefficient
characterizing the agreement of the data to the form of the
equation for each individual asphalt in the class.
In AP-42 for tanks, the correct temperature to use in the
Table 2 equations is the asphalt surface temperature in the
tank. Since the surface temperature is rarely. if ever, known
with certainty, the bulk temperature should be used to
estimate emissions. In a well mixed tank the bulk
temperature will be a good approximation of the surface
temperature. Where mixing is not effective the surface will be
lower in temperature than the bulk and the use of the bulk
temperature will give a conservative estimate of emissions. In
for loading trucks, the bulk temperature of the tank
from which material is being loaded provides a good estimate
of the actual loading temperature.
Asphalt Vapor Molecular Weight: Asphalt vapor molecular
weight was determined by separation and analysis of the
organic species in the vapor spaces of 12 tanks storing
different types of asphalt. These profiles were obtained by
drawing known volumes of the tank vapor space through a
charcoal tube, sealing and freezing the tube to limit loss of
the sample, and then desorbing the organic material from the
charcoal with carbon disulfide and analyzing with gas
chromatography using packed columns and flame ionization
detectors. Analyses were performed by CHEMIR Laboratory
in St. Louis. Quantitative standards were used to identify the
amount of individual normal alkanes from n-pentane to n-
pentadecane. Peaks eluting between the normal alkanes were
assumed to he isomers of the hordering alkanes, especially
cyclic isomers of the lower carbon number alkane, and
branched or unsaturated isomers of the higher carbon
number alkane. The molecular weights for the n-alkane
species and molecular weight estimates for the intermediate
species were used with the amount of that material measured
to calculate a weighted average vapor molecular weight for
each tank, and then the twelve tanks were averaged together
to get the molecular weight used for hot asphalt vapors in the
AP-42 calculations. The result was a molecular weight of 84,
which is used with all three classes of asphalts. This analysis
is detailed in Table 3. Not enough data were available to
assign different values to the three asphalt classes,
however, from the table the unblown flux material in two
tanks gave molecular weights which bracketed the
average. as did the two paving blend stocks.
This analysis gave a lower molecular weight for the
vapor space of asphalt tanks than for several petroleum
solvents and fuel oils. This seems like a contradiction
considering the nature of asphalt as the residuum material
collected upon distillation. This contradiction is resolved
by considering that asphalt is not a uniform material
chemically and that the lower molecular weight materials

are preferentially evaporated More importantly. it has also
been established that thermal cracking of asphalt in hot
storage tanks creates low molecular weight materials which
accumulate in the tank vapor spaces [5,6].
Asphalt Liquid Molecular Weight: The actual bulk asphalt
molecular weight is not needed for AP-42 calculations of
emissions from tanks or loading racks. but is useful in some
calculations that are beyond the scope of this paper, for
example using Raoult's law for crude estimates of emissions
from mixtures of asphalt and other materials. Molecular
weight of bulk asphalt is not a well defined material
property, both because asphalt is such a complex mixture
and because intermolecular interactions in the asphalt
create the appearance of high molecular weight in many
measurement techniques. The measured molecular weight
is usually not truly representative of the covalently bonded
molecules, The difficulty in getting accurate asphalt
molecular weight measurements is extensively discussed in
the literature [8, 9, 10]. The use of Gel Permeation
Chromatography[8], Field-Ionization Mass Spectrometry [8].
Vapor Pressure Osmometry [8,9,10], and Freezing Point
Depression [10] have all been evaluated as methods for
measuring the molecular weight of asphalt or its
components. The topic is further complicated for emission
calculations by the fact that many of the measurements
have been made on fractions of the asphalt and not on the
neat asphalt. In general. for very rough estimates, a value
of 1000 [8] can be used for the molecular weight of bulk
asphalt. This value should be used with the understanding
that there is much variation in the true molecular weight
and in the tendency for intermolecular interaction due to
petroleum crude source and processing conditions.
Partition of hydrocarbon emissions that are particulate and VOC:
Because of its heterogeneous nature, asphalt fumes are
varied and may have components that are classified as
condensed particulates (PM) or as volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). It m-as evident in analyzing asphalt
fume results that the difference between these two classes
of criteria pollutants is really defined by the method used to
test for the pollutants. Estimation schemes described in this
paper calculate the sum of both (AP-42) or just the VOC
component (non-AP-42 technique described below), and
the partition needs to be understood to provide the best
estimated values of the two pollutants. To that end. tests
have been done on both asphalt tank exhausts in an
Owens Corning asphalt plant and on the asphalt shingle
coater exhausts in an Owens Corning roofing plant using
EPA Methods 5 & 25A sampling protocols which define
VOC and PM emissions in hydrocarbon fumes. Under
conditions specified by the test method some fraction of
the fume is captured on a filter and this is defined as a
particulate emission, while a fraction of the hydrocarbon
emission passes through the filter and this is defined as a
VOC emission. The results of the split in the total
hydrocarbon fume between VOC and particulate were
approximately 78% VOC and 22% particulate in the asphalt
equipment. in spite of the basic difference between a
shingle coater and a storage tank. Data from these tests are
given in Table 4.
NON AP-42 CALCULATIONS TECHNIQUES:
Estimation of VOC and particulate emissions from tanks with
fume control: Many asphalt tanks have their fumes actively
collected and treated in a control device, either a fiber bed
filter or an incinerator. In these tanks it is common at
Owens Corning to allow some air to pass through the tank
vapor spaces to create an air sweep that controls
combustible fumes well below the lower explosion limit
(LEL) in order to prevent explosions. Because of the active
removal of fumes in these systems, and the bleeding of air
into the vapor space. the assumptions underlying the AP-42
tank calculations no longer apply. Specifically the driving
force for the flow of fumes out of the tank is no longer just
the working and breathing losses. and an alternative
method of emission calculation is needed.
Several years ago safety concerns with asphalt tanks
prompted Owens Corning to institute the periodic
measurement of the combustible gas concentration in all
asphalt tank vapor spaces [5]. With the advent of Title V it
was recognized that these measurements could be used to
estimate VOC emissions. As part of the safety program.
techniques were developed to make this routine
measurement simple and easy. and the result was the use
of Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) combustion meters to
quantify the hydrocarbon concentration in terms of the
fraction (or %) of the LEL. This technique and the validation
of its accuracy has been described in detail in a separate
publication [6]. In addition to the combustible gas
measurement, a slightly more complicated technique is also
described and validated that gives the concentration of
ethane, methane. and other light combustible gases
separate from propane and larger hydrocarbons. This
technique involves using a charcoal tube in the line
between the tank and the MSA meter. The charcoal tube
adsorbs all propane and higher hydrocarbons [6], with the
resultant reading at the MSA meter due only to the lighter

materials. The charcoal tube technique was developed to
troubleshoot excessive thermal cracking in asphalt tanks as
a cause of high combustible gas levels in tank vapor
spaces, and it is not routinely performed. It is important for
emission calculations since the smaller combustibles found
in the tank vapor spaces and measured with the charcoal
tube in place (ethane, methane. hydrogen sulfide. and
carbon monoxide) are not classified asVOCs because they
do not react with ozone in the atmosphere. Nor are they
particulate. The other hydrocarbons trapped by the tube
and only measured when the charcoal tube is not present.
are VOCs or particulate. Table 5 gives the results of testing
of vapor spaces of oxidized and unoxidized asphalts for
these two types of combustible gas measurements. This
analysis was done to see if the routine combustible gas
numbers should be adjusted for significant and predictable
non-VOC/PM components. For the average tank storing
oxidized asphalt. 52% of the combustible gas is non-
VOC/PM anti this value n-as used for this class of asphalt.
For unoxidized asphalts, both paving and flux,the non-
VOC/PM % LEL varied widely and was not nearly as large a
fraction of the total. For these asphalts, all of the
combustible gas measurement was considered to be either
VOC or particulate.
Calculation of VOC & PM fromcombustible gas readings: Given
this background the actual calculation of VOC emissions
from combustion meter measurements is as follows:
Combustion meter measurements from tank vapor
spaces read in %LEL are adjusted for the fraction of that
reading that is non-VOC/PM. This value depends on the
type of asphalt in the tank.
The adjusted %LEL is then turned into a weight per
volume concentration. Hydrocarbons have a relatively
constant actual LEL concentration. 45 mg/liter, when
expressed on 3 weight per volume basis [11], and this
constant is used to make this calculation.
The weight per volume concentration from step 2 is
multiplied by the fume removal flow (in volume/time) in
the tank to get the VOC emission (n-eight/time) going to

a control device. It is consistent that the %LEL method
measures VOC and not total hydrocarbon since the fume
is drawn through a cotton filter prior to entering the
combustion meter, and particulate will be filtered out.
The particulate emission going to the control device is
estimated from the constant ratio of 22%PM/78%VOC
outlined in Table 4.
The control device destruction efficiency is applied to
both VOC and particulate emissions separately to get the
final hydrocarbon based emissions from the tank. This is
done after the calculation of PM emissions since the
control efficiency for particulate and VOCs can be
different depending on the control device.
This methodology’s accuracy has been confirmed by
tests in an Owens Corning asphalt plant on several

passively vented tanks while material was pumped into the
tank and vapors forced out by the known pumping rate.
Emissions calculated with the method outlined above were
compared to tank emissions calculated using AP-42 (valid
in theory in this case due to the lack of a ventilation
system), and to emissions measured using EPA Method 25A.
As can be seen in Table 6 the method based on actual
combustion meter tests is similar to the measured VOCs
while AP-42 estimates are 3 to 5 times higher.
Estimation of CO and H2S emissions from asphalt tanks: As part
of the safety monitoring program mentioned above. Owens
Corning has also used detector tubes in asphalt tanks to
measure the vapor space concentration of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen sulfide [6]. These emissions are
usually ignored in asphalt tanks, however. the data Owens
Corning has taken clearly indicates their presence in tank
vapor spaces and therefore their emission [il. These gases
are not routinely measured in Owens Corning asphalt
tanks. unlike combustible gas measurements, and thus fresh
data are not available for current calculation. nor are data
available for every one of our tanks. To apply these data to
all tanks. a surrogate measurement is necessary. Since the
same mechanism, thermal cracking, that produces light
hydrocarbons in asphalt tank vapor spaces also produces
carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, the periodic
combustion meter measurement of tank vapor spaces was

investigated as a surrogate for CO and Data for CO
and are plotted in Figures 3 and 4. Because of the
scatter of data in the correlations a representative line was
chosen for each material that was more conservative than
nearly all of the data, in other words a line that defined a
maximum concentration of CO and that could be
expected in an asphalt tank from the combustion meter
measurement. The equations used in the calculation of CO
and concentrations from combustion meter results
CO (ppm) = 142 *%LEL + 800 for oxidized asphalt
= 12.43 *%LEL + 400.5 for oxidized asphalt
In unoxidized asphalt no such correlation was seen and
values of 500 ppm are used for both species.
To estimate an emission from this correlation the CO and
concentrations are multiplied by the flow out of the tank
to get emissions. and conversion factors are used to transform
this into a weight per time emission. Any control device
destruction efficiency is then applied. The emissions using
these techniques can be significant. Limited direct
measurement in an Owens Corning asphalt plant was
consistent with this approach. at least in so far as that the
approach was conservative. was the closer of the
two estimates. Data are presented in Table 7.
One consequence of fume incineration is that one mole of
in the fumes is oxidized to one mole of The amount
of oxidized to SO, is the amount of generated minus
both the amount that escapes at the source and the amount
that is not incinerated at the control device. or in effect the
total uncontrolled H2S emissions minus the emissions
g after control. Because of the reaction with oxygen
and the molecular weight differences between H2S and SO2,
every pound (2.2 kg) of H2S emission is oxidized to 1.88
pounds (4.14 kg) of SO2 emission.
LoadingRack emissions of CO and H2S: As in the tanks. %LEL
versus CO and H2S correlations are used to estimate these
components in loading rack emissions. Again, with
incineration, the H2S is oxidized to SO2. Flow out of the
tank truck during loading is needed for CO and H2S
calculations. When fumes are collected, that flow can be
either the more conservative flow induced by the fume fan,
or the lower and more realistic displacement of air by the
asphalt being loaded. When no collection takes place that
flow is the displacement of air by asphalt being loaded.
Combustion meter measurements of %LELs from the tanks
for loading are used for these calculations.
EFFECTIVENESS OF FIBER BED FILTERS FOR ASPHALT FUME EMISSION
CONTROL
One device used extensively to control asphalt fumes is
a fiber bed filter. Fumes are actively pulled through these
filters or passively hreathe through these filters. Their first
use at Owens Corning was to control opacity to comply
NSPS regulations, and for this application they have
proven to he quite effective.
Testing was done on both asphalt tanks and on a
roofing line center to determine the control efficiency of
fiber bed filters for both VOC and particulate emissions.
Data from the testing are summarized in Table 8. In all
cases. the particulate collection in the filter exceeded 90%
of the emissions in the input stream. This value agrees well
manufacturer’s estimate of 95% and with the
observation that these devices can eliminate opacity.
However, VOC removal varied widely in the tests. With the
average removal near zero, and a very large variation, it
decided that no removal of VOC by these filters could
assumed. Although organic oil is collected. this oil is
considered part of the particulate fraction of the
hydrocarbons in the fumes and not the VOC fraction.
Indeed the lack of removal of VOCs by these filters is
consistent with the method of partitioning hydrocarbons
into VOC and particulate described above -- namely VOCs
pass through a testing filter and particulate do not. Based
on the effectiveness of these control devices to eliminate
opacity it is assumed that particulate greater than 10 micron
is captured by the fiber bed filter so that the total
particulate emissions from the fiber bed filter are
to be PM10 emissions.
Fiber bed filters are not considered to he a control
device for CO and H2S in tank or loading rack fume
streams.

CONCLUSIONS
Estimation of air emissions for asphalt tanks and loading
racks can be done using AP-42 calculation methods given
appropriate data on asphalt properties. More precise
estimates of emissions, or estimates for tanks using
ventilation schemes that compromise the AP-42
assumptions, can be done using a simple measurement of
the combustible gas in the vapor space. Methods to do this
are outlined in the paper. Data that is useful with all these
methods are summarized in Table 9. These data are given
for three major classes of asphalt: paving, flux and
oxidized

205 South Emerald Road
Tooele, UT 84074
Dear Mr. Bird:
On behalf of Mountain States Asphalt, Inc. (MSA), RMEC Environmental, Inc. (RMEC) is hereby
providing you with the following request for an administrative amendment of the above-referenced
Approval Order (AO) with the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ). The basis for this request is due to a
recalculation of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions associated with the facility’s asphalt cement
(AC) storage operations. The outcome of these recalculations results in a significant reduction in facility-
wide VOC emissions.
RECALCULATION OF VOC EMISSIONS FROM AC STORAGE OPERATIONS
Recently, the EPA released the final version of the TANKS 5.0 web program, which is a browser-based
application that estimates volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions
from fixed- and floating-roof storage tanks. TANKS 5.0 is based on the most recent emission estimation
procedures from Chapter 7 of EPA's Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42). An older,
outdated version of the TANKS program was used for the initial NOI back in 2009.
The facility’s current asphalt storage tanks and associated processing operations were the subject of the
initial Notice of Intent (NOI) in 2009. As presented in the excerpts from the initial Notice of Intent (NOI)
in 2009, provided herein as Attachment A, a total of 36.42 tons of VOC were attributed to the facility’s
AC storage operations. While the facility has expanded operations to include storage of atmospheric tank
bottoms (ATB) and assorted crude oils (ACO), the AC storage operations have remained unchanged since
the 2009 NOI.
A summary of the parameters used in the recalculation of the VOC emission in the TANKS 5.0 program
are detailed in the following sections.
Asphalt Cement Custom Petroleum Liquid Parameters
Since AC is not one of the standard chemical inputs in the TANKS 5.0, AC emissions can be calculated by
setting up a custom petroleum liquid using the following chemical properties as prescribed in AP-42,

Tank Data and AC Throughput
MSA operates five (5) different types of AC storage tanks. Summaries of the characteristics of each tank
type are provided in Attachment B. Information from the tank profile summary for each tank type was
entered into the TANKS 5.0 program. A copy of the TANKS 5.0 base file containing MSA’s Tank Data is
being transmitted with this email submission.
A mix of these standard tank types are utilized within the following six (6) categories of AC product storage
or processing:
▪ Primary Asphalt Storage Tanks
▪ Secondary Asphalt Storage Tanks
▪ Asphalt Sales Tanks
▪ Mill Feed Tanks
▪ Reaction Tanks
▪ Asphalt Emulsion Tanks
Each category of AC storage along with tank dimensions, annual throughput and specific operational
parameters, such as maximum fill height and target heating temperatures, are presented in the AC Storage
Tank Profiles Summaries provided in the attached Table 1. This summary also includes the standing and
working losses of VOCs for each tank type within each storage category. The VOC emissions were obtained
by performing a loss run for each individual stage of AC product storage using the customized AC profile
as the throughput for each tank type within the respective category.
A copy of the TANKS 5.0 loss run output file and tank data file for each category is being transmitted with
this email submission.
SUMMARY OF NET CHANGE IN VOC EMISSIONS
As previously discussed, the initial NOI allocated 36.42 tons of VOC emissions towards the AC storage
operations. As indicated in Table 1, the recalculation of VOC emissions for AC storage operations yields a
total of 7.36 tons of VOC emissions, resulting in a 29.06-ton reduction in the facility-wide VOC emissions.
The proposed amendment of the AO would reduce the current AO limits for VOC emissions from
60.24 tons per year, to 31.18 tons per year.
