Air Quality Reporting

• Canadian Petroleum Products Institute (CPPI)
• Industry association
• Involved in developing EHS policy practices for
  member companies
• Environmental Safety Performance Report (ESPR)
• Work with government on public policy
• Develop guidelines for the safe handling of
  petroleum products
• Canadian Industrial Energy Efficiency Data
  Analysis Center (CIEEDAC) Survey
• Energy survey from SFU (School of Resource and
  Environmental Mgt)
• Facilitate access to data on industrial energy
  consumption in Canada
• governments creating policy
• Utilities attempting to influence energy
  consumption
• Statistics Canada Large Final Emitters Survey
• MoE Permit Requirements
• National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI)
• Legislated, publicly accessible federal database
  that lists pollutants released, disposed of and
  recycled by facilities across the country that
  meet the reporting requirements

Pollution Control

• 1997 installation of Sulphur Recovery Unit
• 75 reduction of SO2 emissions
• 2004-2006 Clean Fuels Project
• Added benefit of reduced emissions
• Low NOx burners on several process heaters
• 2009 FCCU process analyzer
• Monitor SO2 and control CO/NOx

12
Pollution control cont

• Tank farm
• floating roof tanks to reduce emissions
• Terminal loading
• Use of submerged loading method reduces emissions
  by 60
• Proposed future plans for the implementation of
  LDAR (leak detection and repair)
• Focuses on fugitives from hydrocarbon lines,
  valves, pumps etc
