BWTF Reconfiguration

  • Reduction of explosive risk primary driver
  • Facility modifications
  • PWSRCAC’s participation in planning
  • Alyeska requested NTP from JPO
  • EPA comments
  • Comments and questions

Reduction of Explosive Risk

  • Texas City disaster – 13 fatalities in process area
  • 90s Tanks –

– Planned tie-in to vapor control (will control HAPs emissions)

  • 80s Tanks –

– Planned nitrogen inerting temporarily and then removal from system (Nitrogen blanket does not control HAPs emissions)

  • DAF cells –

– Flood DAF weir and planned replacement of DAF cells with closed induced gas flotation (IGF) process (Not emission control, sends dissolved HAPs to BTTs)

  • Splitter box –

– Sealed (Not emission control, sends dissolved HAPs to BTTs)

  • BTTs –

– Planned instrumentation for optimum control of microbes. May control emissions to an unknown extent.

PWSRCAC’s Participation in Alyeska’s Planning Process

  • Engineering reviews

– 80s Tanks replacement – Recovered crude to be pumped to East Tank Farm – 90s Tanks skimmers – 90s Tanks tying to vapor control

  • Implementation

– Flooding DAF weir –

  • leaks in dam and recycle mode appears to be problematic

– Temporary sealing of Splitter Box

JPO Is Insisting on a NEPA Review of the Overall Planning for BWTF Modifications

  • Alyeska requests an NTP at end of June 2006

– Performance specification inferable but not traceable to planned reconfiguration activities.

  • JPO schedules release of an Environmental

Assessment in September 2006

  • JPO issues “emergency” NTP for BWTF

instrumentation in August 2006

– Dissolved oxygen probes in BTTs – Salinity probes in BWTF – BTEX Analyzer at output from DAF cells – BTT recycle pump (back to 90s Tanks)

Alyeska Request for BWTF Reconfiguration NTP

 Flooded DAF weir – (Dam) (2005)  Tank 81 standby (2006)  Standby of DAF cells 5 & 6 (2006)

  • West BTT standby (2006)
  • No 80s tanks (2006)
  • Vapor control for Tanks 93 and 94 (2007)
  • Induced gas flotation (DAF replacement) (2008)
