1.2 Test Project Objective(s)
The purpose of the source emissions compliance demonstration is to satisfy the
requirements of the UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130790006-12 (Issuance Date: April 2,
2012) and NSPS Subpart KKKK. The Solar Centaur 50 turbine (Unit ID: T-1) is being
tested following a permanent like-kind turbine core replacement.
As required by the UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130790006-12 Condition II.B.2.a.1, testing to
demonstrate compliance will be conducted for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon
monoxide (CO) according to EPA Test Methods 1-4, 7E and 10. Oxygen will be
measured to allow for NOx emission levels to be corrected to 15% O2. NOx compliance
testing will be conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4400.
Three, one hour test runs will be conducted on the Solar Centaur 50 turbine (T-1) to
demonstrate compliance with NOx and CO permitted limits and the NSPS Subpart
KKKK standard for NOx.
The Solar Centaur 50 turbine has a manufacture rating of 4,540 horsepower (hp) and a
site rating range of 3,817 hp to 4,822 hp. The manufacturer's rating and the site rating
range are permitted in the UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130790006-12. In accordance with 40
CFR 60.4400(b), emissions testing will be conducted while the turbine is operating at 100
percent of peak load, plus or minus 25 percent. If at least 75 percent of peak load cannot
be achieved in practice, testing will be conducted at the highest achievable load.
Process parameters expected to be collected during the performance testing include, but
are not limited to: atmospheric pressure, atmospheric temperature, fuel pressure,
humidity, O2% and CO2%. The process parameters will be recorded on the turbine test
sheets and provided in the test report.
1.3 Facility Description
MountainWest Pipeline, LLC operates the Blind Canyon Compressor Station in
Duchesne County, Utah. The Blind Canyon Compressor Station is utilized to boost the
line pressure to accommodate additional gas flow through the pipeline. The natural gas
enters the station through a valve on the main pipeline and flows through various filters
and vortex separators to remove liquids and other impurities (slugs) prior to compression.
The filtered and separated impurities from the pipeline are pumped to one of the on-site
condensate storage tanks. After filtering, the natural gas flows to the compressor engines
where it is compressed to increase the pressure of the gas. The temperature of the gas also
increases upon compression. Therefore, after compression the gas flows through an after
cooler to be cooled to pipeline temperate prior to being reintroduced to the main pipeline.
Natural gas from the main pipeline is used to power the on-site compressors and
generators. The generators provide power for the facility and as such, are not considered
emergency backup generators.

3.3 Stack Sampling Location
The inner exhaust stack diameter for the Solar Centaur 50 turbine (T-1) was previously
measured as 36 inches. The sampling ports moisture, flow, NOx and CO measurements
are approximately 3.3 pipe diameters downstream from the nearest flow disturbance and
1.0 pipe diameter upstream from the nearest disturbance. The test location will be
verified during the test program to meet the minimum specifications of a sampling
location as defined by EPA Method 1. The final measurements/dimensions will be
included in the test report. An aerial lift will be utilized, if needed, to conduct sampling.
Figure 1: Sample Location Diagram.
3.4 Emission Measurement Methodologies
Testing will be performed and calculated in accordance with EPA Test Methods 1-4, 7E
and 10, in addition to the procedures found in 40 CFR 60.4400 (Subpart KKKK). Oxygen
will be measured to allow for NOx emission levels to be corrected to 15% O2. Turbine
horsepower and other operating conditions will be recorded for each test run and
submitted in the test report.
Three, one hour test runs will be conducted on the Solar Centaur 50 turbine (T-1) for NOx
and CO.

Fyrite Analyzer for Carbon Dioxide Measurement
Apex MC-170 Meter Box
EPA G1 Protocol Calibration Gas
Laptop Computer To Download Raw Analyzer Data
3.6 Test Quality Assurance Procedures
3.6.1 Sampling Protocol
Precautions are taken to keep the gas analyzer in a clean, thermally stable, vibration free environment to minimize analyzer drift and associated errors. Pre test calibrations and
post test operations are performed within the testing trailer environment.
Samples are taken according to EPA Methods 1-4, 7E, 10 and applicable NSPS Subpart
KKKK procedures. The data from the samples are converted directly into computer
language and recorded in the Compliance Specialist’s laptop computer. This eliminates
the need for sample labeling and secures the preservation of the data while reducing
human error. In addition, parameters associated with the turbine are recorded on test sheets at the time of the test.
Linearity checks are performed using certified calibration gases to ensure that the zero, mid, and upscale calibrations are within the certified calibration level and zero. Pre-test
calibrations are then conducted on the zero and selected mid or upscale calibration gas
determined by observing the native concentration of the target analytes in the sampled. exhaust. After each test run the same zero and selected mid or upscale calibration gas are
analyzed to verify they are within the required specifications.
Sample times for stratification will be determined by observing the sample response time
for the oxygen to reach a stable level for low and upscale calibration gas concentrations. The time will then be doubled and during stratification, each sample point will use this
dwell time to determine the concentration.
3.6.2 Equipment Calibration and Measurement
Preventive diagnostic functions are built directly into the equipment utilized for the
testing. This diagnostic function provides the Compliance Specialist with failure
warnings allowing the determination of when repairs are necessary without performing
12
painstaking preventative maintenance procedures. However, equipment is inspected
regularly by the Compliance Specialists to guarantee maximum operational status. The
process involved with equipment calibration ensures that there is no divergence from the
manufacturer’s specifications.
3.7 Turbine Load Approximation
Oasis Emission Consultants Inc. will approximate the turbine load using process
parameters measured, such as gas throughput, suction/discharge pressure/temperature,
manufacturer’s BSFC, panel reading or fuel measurement (if available).
The Solar Centaur 50 turbine (T-1) has a size manufacture rating of 4,540 hp and an
approved site rating range of 3,817 hp to 4,822 hp. In accordance with 40 CFR
60.4400(b), testing will be conducted while the turbine is operating at 100 percent of
peak load, plus or minus 25 percent. If at least 75 percent of peak load cannot be
achieved in practice, testing will be conducted at the highest achievable load.
3.8 Test Methods
Oasis Emission Consultants, Inc. will employ EPA 40 CFR 60 (A) methods as required
by UDEQ AO # DAQE-AN130790006-12 and in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4400.
These methods are described below.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 1: Method 1 requires measurement of the
various physical attributes of a stack to establish appropriate sampling locations.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 2: Method 2 provides the means to calculate
the average wet velocity for the exhaust effluent gas. This method employs the use of a
standard or S-type pitot tube, a thermometer and an inclined manometer. The
temperature, static and differential pressures are all used to calculate the average wet
velocity. This value may be used in conjunction with the known stack diameter, and
measured moisture content (Method 4), to approximate the average dry volumetric flow
rate.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 3A: Method 3A provides the means to
calculate the dry molecular weight of the effluent gas. After passing through a gas
condenser, O2 gas concentrations from the effluent stream are measured by an
instrumental analyzer. Measurements will be taken in conjunction with those from
Method 2. The dry molecular weight will be calculated for each of the test runs. The O2
levels will also be used to allow for the correction to ppmvd @ 15% O2 for NOx.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 4: Method 4 allows for the evaluation of the
moisture content within the effluent stream. A sample of the effluent stream is extracted
at a constant rate. The water is condensed from the stream through a series of impingers
surrounded by an ice bath. The total mass of the water condensed and the total volume
of gas measured are used to calculate the moisture content within the exhaust effluent
stream. Moisture content will be calculated for each of the test runs.
13
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 7E: Method 7E is the instrumental method for
measuring the NOx concentration in the effluent stream. After passing through a sample
conditioning system, NOx concentration is measured by a chemiluminescent gas
analyzer. The analyzer is calibrated using EPA Protocol G1 gas before and after each
one hour test run.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Appendix A, Method 10: Method 10 is the instrumental method for
measuring the CO concentration in the effluent stream. After passing through a sample
conditioning system, CO concentration is measured by an NDIR gas analyzer. The
analyzer is calibrated using EPA Protocol G1 gas before and after each one hour test
run.
EPA 40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK § 60.4400: Subpart KKKK regulates the Nitrogen
Oxide (NOx) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) pollutants. NOx will be measured using Method
7E. A stratification check will be performed prior to testing to determine sampling
location according to EPA 40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK § 60.4400(a)(3)(ii)(B).
