§ 60.5406 What test methods and procedures must I use for my sweetening units affected facilities at onshore natural gas processing plants?
(a) In conducting the performance tests required in § 60.8, you must use the test methods in appendix A of this part or other methods and procedures as specified in this section, except as provided in paragraph § 60.8(b).
(b) During a performance test required by § 60.8, you must determine the minimum required reduction efficiencies (Z) of SO2 emissions as required in § 60.5405(a) and (b) as follows:
(1) The average sulfur feed rate (X) must be computed as follows:
Where:
(2) You must use the continuous readings from the process flowmeter to determine the average volumetric flow rate (Qa) in dscm/day (dscf/day) of the acid gas from the sweetening unit for each run.
(3) You must use the Tutwiler procedure in § 60.5408 or a chromatographic procedure following ASTM E260–96 (incorporated by reference as specified in § 60.17) to determine the H2S concentration in the acid gas feed from the sweetening unit (Y). At least one sample per hour (at equally spaced intervals) must be taken during each 4-hour run. The arithmetic mean of all samples must be the average H2S concentration (Y) on a dry basis for the run. By multiplying the result from the Tutwiler procedure by 1.62 × 10−3, the units gr/100 scf are converted to volume percent.
