Slide 1: Review of AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS)
Review of AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) 16 August 2012 Damon Roddis General Manager, PAEHolmes
Slide 2: Presentation Overview
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Presentation Overview • Background • What air monitoring is required? • What are the current discharge levels? • What is the cause of breakdown? • Potential for environmental harm? • Conclusion
Slide 3: Background / Monitoring Requirements
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Background / Monitoring Requirements • Required to manage air emissions through Condition M2 of EPL 12003 • Quarterly monitoring of exhaust air parameters (NOX, SO2, SO3, CO, O2, velocity, T, volumetric flow from 6 air emission sources • Continuous emission mo
Slide 4: Current Discharge Levels – Quarterly Monitoring
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Current Discharge Levels – Quarterly Monitoring EPL Limit – 461 mg/m3
Slide 5: Discharge Levels – CEMS Point 1
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Discharge Levels – CEMS Point 1 EPL Limit 461 mg/m3
Slide 6: Discharge Levels – CEMS Point 2
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Discharge Levels – CEMS Point 2 formance Log – Point 1 EPL Limit 461 mg/m3
Slide 7: Cause of Breakdown
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Cause of Breakdown • Repeated failures associated with the operating environment: • Vibration • Contamination • Heat • Historical data acquisition issues • AGL now manually downloading
Slide 8: Potential for Environmental Harm
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Potential for Environmental Harm • NOX regulated for: • Ground level impacts of NO2 (local) • Role in photochemical smog formation (regional) • AGL environmental assessment demonstrates that ground level concentrations of NO2 are unlikely to be a concern
Slide 9: Local Environmental Harm – Macarthur AQMS
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Local Environmental Harm – Macarthur AQMS EPA 1-hour criterion – 246 µg/m3
Slide 10: Regional Environmental Harm
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Regional Environmental Harm AGL RPGP Campbelltown LGA NOX Emissions by Sector
Slide 11: Regional Environmental Harm (industry alone)
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Regional Environmental Harm (industry alone)
Slide 12: Regional Environmental Harm (industry and mobile)
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Regional Environmental Harm (industry and mobile)
Slide 13: Conclusion
AGL Rosalind Park Gas Plant CEMS Review Conclusion • Risk of harm to human health & environment due to NOX from RPGP is low • Emissions less than 2% of NOX from vehicles in Campbelltown • Negligible increase in potential for risk to human health / environment arising from the non-compliance
