Average Concentration is the mean bencene concentration of at least three samples taken in accordance with BWON regulations. For line items that are a combination of multiple streams, the average concentration is weighted by flow. 2. Total EOL Bencene Quantity for the refinery is the sum of EOL points 1,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10, 11, and 12. 3. This sample is not counted in the EOL total because it is represented in the collection box sample (EOL 11). It is sampled because it has the potential to add more than 0.05 Mg/yr to the GBQ. 4. Per the EPA letcer dated November 5,2007 concerning approval of the Salt Lake Refinery's EOL Plan, EOL 11 is calculated by subtracting the amount of benzene from the Desalter Effluent, EOL 14, from the quantity of bencene measured at sample point EOL 11, the collection box. 5. volatilization Calculation - Henry's Law equilibrium calculation is performed on a quarterly basis. nenzene emissions are estimated at 6.3% of bencene flowing through the collection box. 1st QTR 2023 EOL # EOL sampte location benzene concentration I benzene concentration 2 benzene concentration 3 avg benzene concentration Pt tag if needed flow (gpm) quantity (Mg) benzene quantity notes: Point lb SWS #2 effluent <0005 <0.005 <0.005 0.005 67FC122 151 73,813 0.0004 Point 4 volitalization calcualtion 0.1263 Point 5 lime pond 0.002 <0.001 <0.001 0.001 0.00 0 0.0000 The True pond was taken out of service with the Alky plant retrofit Point 6 RBCISBC to outfall <0.005 <0.005 <0.005 0.005 09F1430 996 488.447 0.0024 Point?
