The area impacted by the Elk Basin Gas Plant is the North Absaroka Wilderness area. • Decrease in emissions for report year 2019 due to using actual stack test data in the Air Emissions Inventory (AEI) instead of using the allowable emissions limit and lower Sulphur content in the gas from the field and current production decline rate that is extrapolated into the future. • Probable Q/d assumes that the proposed options will be installed at the current production rates and runtime.

The range in the model indicates $1, 000/ton and $2, 200/ton. Industry experience demonstrates that Low NOx Burners cost approximately $300, 000 each on newer systems. The nine engines would total $2. 7 MM. This would equate to roughly $1, 500/ton with the PTE decrease from 2, 178. 6 to 385. 05 TPY NOx. Since the engines were manufactured in 1948, the assumption that additional modifications will be made increases the price to the top range of $2, 200.

Increase in Sulphur catalyst which would increase the amount Sulphur catalyst being sent to the landfill. Remaining Useful Life (Factor 4) 30 years Current SRU SO 2 recovery is permitted at 93. 5%. The actual annual average recovery rate is 95. 1%. Looking to increase actual to 96. 5%. $24, 000/ton assumes $1. 2 MM in engineering studies, instrumentation and automation to ensure recovery efficiencies of 96. 5% can be met for a decrease in 50 tons/year. Permitted Limit would still be 93. 5% Adding additional stages to the Claus plant will increase the permitted average to 96. 5% according to the Sulphur Recovery Regulations (Chapter 18, Table 18 -1). $200, 000/ton assumes the cost of the 3 rd or 4 th stage to the Claus plant and a TGTU will cost $16 MM and decrease actual emissions by 80 tons/year. This would trigger a permitted limit of 96. 5% recovery with actuals around 98%.
Appendix 5
6 • The summary table in this slide represents the Title V Permitted sources at the Elk Basin Gas Plant. • The Analysis focused on the nine (9) compressor engines (EC 1 – EC 9) and the tail gas incinerator (INC-1) since they are the largest emitters of PM, NOx and SO 2. • The boilers (EB 1 -EB 3) and other sources are not included in the analysis due to the low impact they have. The PTE of the boilers is just over 5 TPY combined and actual emissions with stack testing data are just over 1 TPY.
