1 em case study by Sara King and Jeffrey Meyers Development and Implementation of a Title V Compliance Verification Process Sara L. King is the environmental director at the ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery, in Ponca City, OK. Jeffrey D. Meyers is a retiree of the ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery, where he was the environmental director. Sara.L.King@ ConocoPhillips.com. This article presents the approach developed by the ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery (PCR) for implementing a sustainable Title V air permit compliance system and the process for compliance verification (CV) at the lowest cost possible. One of the biggest challenges under the Title V Air Permitting program is performing a reasonable inquiry into the compliance status of each Title V permit requirement and then reporting deviations to the regulatory agency semiannually. The potential for serious enforcement reinforces the importance of developing a sustainable system to effectively communicate Title V obligations to those accountable and a process to verify compliance and identify deviations. The simple spreadsheet-based system developed by PCR performs the functions necessary to integrate environmental obligations into plant operations and then quickly verify compliance status in preparation for Title V deviation reporting. Regulatory Background The Title V Operating Permit Program under the U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires certain facilities to apply for and obtain Title V operating permits, which consolidate all applicable requirements from U.S. federal, state, and local air quality regulations and existing air permit terms and conditions. The facility s Responsible Official (RO) is tasked with routinely submitting compliance certifications that indicate the status of compliance, noting any deviations from the requirements of the Title V Permit. The RO must sign off that information provided in the compliance certification is true, accurate, and complete based on information and belief formed after a reasonable inquiry.

2 for the ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery PCR is a 187,000-barrel-per-day oil refinery operating crude topping units, catalytic cracking units, a coker, reformers, hydrotreaters, an alkylation unit, amine gas treaters, steam- and hydrogen-generating units, a wastewater treatment plant, and feed-stock and product storage. Equipment having environmental obligations includes 35 stack emission points (10 of which are equipped with continuous emission monitoring systems), 4 flares, 50,000 fugitive piping component emission sources, and 60 above-ground storage tanks subject to floating roof inspections. Individual applicable regulatory requirements number into the tens of thousands. The general types of Title V Permit obligations applicable to the refinery include stack emission limits, leak monitoring, tank inspections, emissions testing, reporting, and recordkeeping. A robust system is needed to ensure ownership of environmental obligations by those who actually control the outcome. A process is also needed to ensure deviations from Title V Permit obligations are identified for inclusion in the required compliance status reports. Fundamental Principles PCR followed the six criteria described below in designing its Title V compliance verification process: 1. Use Existing Systems: No new enterprise software system or customized vendor applications; use existing systems and processes. 2. Distribute Accountability: Ensure accountability resides with those who control the outcome, minimizing the amount of work for any one individual. 3. Alignment: Align with day-to-day refinery operations, processes, and procedures. 4. Minimize Work for Title V Reporting: Create an efficient process for verifying compliance. 5. Involve Plant Personnel: Involve plant personnel in Title V certification reasonable inquiry process. 6. Sustainability: Use sustainable system components and minimal resources. Use Existing Systems PCR initially considered commercially available, allin-one software, but chose a simpler approach that was more easily integrated into plant operations and maintained by on-site staff. The refinery already supported several robust systems: Distributed control system (DCS) Maintenance scheduling and tracking system (SAP) Automated plant information system (OSIsoft PI System Datalink PI-Datalink ) Electronic workflow system and electronic document management system (Livelink) Operations information system (AspenTech Operations Manager Role Based Visualization) Emission inventory calculation application (internally developed) Microsoft Office system programs Distribute Accountability Plant personnel were empowered with the knowledge, accountability, and compliance tracking tools Organize Requirements Summary spreadsheets by Area & Program Add consolidated federal, state & permit obligations Add task owners Add supporting compliance tools: Short-term limit DCS tags & alarms Long-term limit tracking spreadsheets Work practice procedures Sampling, testing, and reporting notifications & procedures Review short-term limit DCS tag attributes: Short-term limit DCS tags & alarms Algorithms Alarm setpoints Data compression settings Review draft Requirements Summary and supporting compliance tools with end users to solicit feedback Implement Requirements Summary and supporting compliance tools Figure 1.

Accountable plant personnel included unit operators, unit engineers, shift supervisors, analyzer technicians, equipment inspectors, and environmental staff. maintenance, testing, or sampling requirements, and emission tracking tools into the normal work processes of the refinery. This strategy significantly improved acceptance and integration of environmental obligations into day-to-day plant operations. Figure 3. Example requirements summary table dashboard page.

Many numerical environmental limits were already monitored real-time in process unit control rooms on DCS consoles. Advisory warning alarms were set up to allow plant personnel to make process adjustments before environmental limits are reached. For other environmental obligations, periodic auditing was deemed to be adequate. The periodic auditing process was automated using the refinery s existing workflow process automation 28 em august 2010 awma.org
4 system (Livelink). The electronic workflows were set up to send electronic Title V CV checklists to designated plant personnel, who then conduct the necessary reasonable inquiry, which is transmitted to the environmental staff for efficient and expeditious rollup of Title V compliance status reports. Involve Plant Personnel The work products were developed with input from plant personnel and modified based on suggestions received during the testing phases of the project. This ensured that environmental tasks were written in the language of the users, assignments were made to the most appropriate people, and that existing plant operational work process were identified and properly utilized. Sustainability Regardless of which type of system is used for compliance management, it must be kept evergreen to ensure all compliance obligations continue to be met. Each of the system components used in the refinery s compliance system has an owner responsible for updates. A simple workflow process is utilized by the environmental staff to communicate and remind system component owners of updates needed. Development and Implementation A project that affects plant-wide operations personnel requires a long-term vision and clear definition of the end in mind. The project was developed and implemented by in-house staff over the course of five years. Because the project scope occurred over several years, it was important to divide the development and implementation into small segments so that benefits could be realized along the development path. Add compliance verification information to Requirements Summary Tables: Assign personnel to verify compliance Instructions for what to check Deviation definitions Create deviation logs Develop electronic workflows with Livelink software Pilot test electronic workflows with end users to solicit feedback Implement electronic workflows Development of Requirements Summary Tables Figure 1 provides a summary of the steps used to develop the Requirements Summary Tables. Requirements Summary Tables were created using Microsoft Excel, and organized by refinery areas and programs as separate spreadsheets. An abbreviated Requirements Summary Table is illustrated in Figure 2. First, the Requirements Summary Tables were populated with the applicable requirements and owners. Similar or duplicative requirements were consolidated as much as possible. All requirements were rewritten using simple language that endusers understood. Then supporting compliance monitoring tools and procedures were specified. Finally, a dashboard page was added to enable users to quickly search by assigned tasks and by specific pieces of equipment. Figure 3 shows an example Requirements Summary Table dashboard page. Figure 4. Compliance verification development steps. Figure 5. Example Title V deviation log.

Summary The system developed by PCR performs the functions necessary to holistically incorporate environmental obligations into day-to-day plant operations and to quickly and efficiently verify compliance status in preparation for Title V deviation reporting. The success of this approach at other locations depends on many relevant factors, including management philosophy, plant size, regulatory complexity, availability of existing systems and applications, and resources available for keeping the system components evergreen. Figure 7. Screenshot of workflow assignment from Livelink software. First, compliance verifiers and deviation definitions were added to each task in the Requirements Summary Tables. Deviation logs were also created for each operational area and program. Figure 5 shows an example deviation log. Automated workflows were then created. If steps became late, the workflow automatically sent electronic notifications to the delinquent verifiers. A simplified visual depiction of the CV workflow process is shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 illustrates a Several lessons were learned during this process. These include: 1. Successful implementation requires complete management support. 2. Leverage existing systems; don t over-design with functionality not needed. 3. Plant personnel are more willing to accept environmental information in a familiar format in which they had input on design and content. 4. Develop, pilot test, and implement in small pieces for immediate implementation. em References 1. Beath, J.M. Use Periodic Checks to Demonstrate Title V Compliance; CEP Magazine February Jenks, R.
