Process Description:

The Arkansas Loop and Simpson Treating Plants, owned and operated by Red Cedar
Gathering Company, are located in southwestern Colorado within the exterior boundaries of
the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. These treating plants are considered a production field
facility prior to the point of custody transfer. Upstream of the facilities there are production
(coal-bed methane) wells and compressor stations connected to a gathering pipeline system
to the inlet of the facilities. The Arkansas Loop and Simpson Treating Plants provide natural
gas field compression, CO2 removal, and dehydration to remove entrained water vapor from
the gas stream. The facilities are comprised of 6 reciprocating internal combustion engines
(RICE) for gas compression, 5 RICE for electric generation, 3 amine plants for CO2 removal,
6 TEG dehydration units for gas dehydration, and 3 heaters associated with the amine plants.
The facilities have several other heaters, tanks, and miscellaneous equipment that qualify as
insignificant emission units.
The process at Arkansas Loop begins with compressing gas wet natural gas to high pressure
(approximately 900 - 1000 psig) from the field pipeline and compressor stations. This gas is
then mixed with other gas (already at high pressure) and treated through the amine trains
1

(Amine 1 & 2). The gas is then sent through 4 glycol dehydrators to remove entrained water
vapor from the gas stream. The treated gas is then mixed with untreated gas so that the gas
leaving the plant is less than 2% CO2.
The process at Simpson does not include compression of the natural gas. The gas comes into
the plant at high pressure and is treated to remove CO2 and then water, similar to Arkansas
Loop. Like Arkansas Loop the treated gas is then mixed with untreated gas to achieve a CO2
percentage of less than 2%.
The facilities do not extract natural gas liquids from field gas nor fractionate mixed NGL's
to natural gas products. The facilities have storage vessels, but none with the potential for
flash emissions. The facilities have various heaters, tanks and pigging units that qualify as
insignificant emission units. Insignificant emissions for the pigging units occur only during
launch and retrieval operations.
The facilities are scheduled to operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
Fuel used for all combustion units is pipeline quality natural gas from the facility process
after compression, CO2 removal and dehydration.
Arkansas Loop uses approximately 1,500 MMscf of fuel per year (4.0 MMscf/day, with a
maximum fuel use of approximately 0.2 MMscf/hr). Total natural gas processed through the
facility (including gas that bypasses the amine trains) is approximately 210 - 230 MMscf/day.
Simpson uses approximately 600 MMscf of fuel per year (1,680 scf/day, with a maximum
fuel use of approximately 0.1 MMscf/hr). Total natural gas processed through the facility is
approximately 100 - 110 MMscf/day.
Two of the generator engines at Simpson are 4SLB SI RICE and are subject to 40 CFR 63
Subpart ZZZZ and/or 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ regulations (see applicability determination
for specific details). Red Cedar has selected oxidation catalyst as the means to satisfy the
regulatory requirements for Carbon Monoxide (CO) reduction.
All TEG dehydrators are controlled using a combination of condensers and vapors being
routed to the reboiler burner with the main fuel gas.

potential to emit, without federally recognized controls) one or more hazardous air
pollutants is not subject to a relevant standard or other requirement established
under 40 CFR part 63, the permittee shall keep a record of the applicability
determination, for a period of five years after the determination, or until the source
changes its operations to become an affected source, whichever comes first. Each
of these records shall be made available to the Tribe upon request. The record of
the applicability determination shall include an analysis (or other information) that
17

demonstrates why the permittee believes the source is unaffected (e.g., because the

You must meet the requirements in §60.4245(d)

1.2.4.1.2.

You may not conduct performance tests during periods of startup,
shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in §60.8(c). If your
stationary SI internal combustion engine is non-operational, you do
not need to startup the engine solely to conduct a performance test;
however, you must conduct the performance test immediately upon
startup of the engine.

1.2.4.1.3.

You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance test
required in this section, as specified in §60.8(f). Each test run must
30

be conducted within 10 percent of 100 percent peak (or the highest
achievable) load and last at least 1 hour.
1.2.4.1.4.

To determine compliance with the NOX mass per unit output
emission limitation, convert the concentration of NOX in the engine
exhaust using Equation 1 of this section:

𝐸𝑅 =

𝐶 × 1.912 × 10 × 𝑄 × 𝑇
𝐻𝑃 − ℎ𝑟

(𝐸𝑞. 1)

Where:
ER = Emission rate of NOX in g/HP-hr.
Cd = Measured NOX concentration in parts per million by volume
(ppmv).
1.912 × 10−3 = Conversion constant for ppm NOX to grams per
standard cubic meter at 20 degrees Celsius.

dry basis.
T = Time of test run, in hours.
HP-hr = Brake work of the engine, horsepower-hour (HP-hr).
1.2.4.1.5.

To determine compliance with the CO mass per unit output emission
limitation, convert the concentration of CO in the engine exhaust
using Equation 2 of this section:
𝐸𝑅 =

𝐶 × 1.164 × 10 × 𝑄 × 𝑇
𝐻𝑃 − ℎ𝑟

(𝐸𝑞. 2)

Where:
ER = Emission rate of CO in g/HP-hr.
Cd = Measured CO concentration in ppmv.
31

1.164 × 10−3 = Conversion constant for ppm CO to grams per
standard cubic meter at 20 degrees Celsius.
Q = Stack gas volumetric flow rate, in standard cubic meters per
hour, dry basis.
T = Time of test run, in hours.
HP-hr = Brake work of the engine, in HP-hr.
1.2.4.1.6.

For purposes of this subpart, when calculating emissions of VOC,
emissions of formaldehyde should not be included. To determine
compliance with the VOC mass per unit output emission limitation,
convert the concentration of VOC in the engine exhaust using
Equation 3 of this section:
𝐸𝑅 =

𝐶 × 1.833 × 10 × 𝑄 × 𝑇
𝐻𝑃 − ℎ𝑟

(𝐸𝑞. 3)

Where:
ER = Emission rate of VOC in g/HP-hr.
Cd = VOC concentration measured as propane in ppmv.
1.833 × 10−3 = Conversion constant for ppm VOC measured as
propane, to grams per standard cubic meter at 20
degrees Celsius.
Q = Stack gas volumetric flow rate, in standard cubic meters per
hour, dry basis.
T = Time of test run, in hours.
HP-hr = Brake work of the engine, in HP-hr.
1.2.4.1.7.

If the owner/operator chooses to measure VOC emissions using
either Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, or Method 320 of
40 CFR part 63, appendix A, then it has the option of correcting the
measured VOC emissions to account for the potential differences in
32

measured values between these methods and Method 25A. The
results from Method 18 and Method 320 can be corrected for
response factor differences using Equations 4 and 5 of this section.
The corrected VOC concentration can then be placed on a propane
basis using Equation 6 of this section.
