For the purposes of this paragraph, when using any of the methods in § 98.234(a), emissions are detected whenever a leak is detected according to the method. Acoustic leak detection is only applicable for through-valve leakage and is not applicable for screening a manifolded group of compressor sources.(F) If one of the screening methods specified in § 98.234(a)(1) through (3) identifies a leak in a manifolded group of centrifugal compressor sources, you may use acoustic leak detection, according to § 98.234(a)(5), to identify the source of the leak. You must use one of the methods specified in paragraphs (o)(4)(ii)(A) through (D) of this section to quantify emissions from the identified source.(5) If you elect to conduct continuous volumetric emission measurements for a manifolded group of compressor sources as specified in paragraph (o)(1)(iv) of this section, you must measure volumetric emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(5)(i) through (iii) of this section.(i) Measure at a single point in the manifold downstream of all compressor inputs and, if practical, prior to comingling with other non-compressor emission sources.(ii) Continuously measure the volumetric flow for the manifolded group of compressor sources at standard conditions using a permanent meter according to methods set forth in § 98.234(b).(iii) If compressor blowdown emissions are included in the metered emissions specified in paragraph (o)(5)(ii) of this section, the compressor blowdown emissions may be included with the reported emissions for the manifolded group of compressor sources and do not need to be calculated separately using the method specified in paragraph (i) of this section for blowdown vent stacks.(6) . For compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(i) of this section, you must calculate annual GHG emissions from the compressor sources as specified in paragraphs (o)(6)(i) through (iv) of this section.(i) Using equation W-21 to this section, calculate the annual volumetric GHG emissions for each centrifugal compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section that was measured during the reporting year.(ii) Using equation W-22 to this section, calculate the annual volumetric GHG emissions from each centrifugal compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section that was not measured during the reporting year.(iii) Using equation W-23 to this section, develop an emission factor for each compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section. These emission factors must be calculated annually and used in equation W-22 to this section to determine volumetric emissions from a centrifugal compressor in the mode- source combinations that were not measured in the reporting year.(iv) The reporter emission factor in equation W-23 to this section may be calculated by using all measurements from a single owner or operator instead of only using measurements from a single facility. If you elect to use this option, the reporter emission factor must be applied to all reporting facilities for the owner or operator.(7) . For compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(ii) of this section, you must use the continuous volumetric emission measurements taken as specified in paragraph (o)(3) of this section and calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions associated with the compressor source using equation W-24A to this section.(8) . For manifolded groups of compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(iii) of this section, you must calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions using equation W-24B to this section. If the centrifugal compressors included in the manifolded group of compressor sources share the manifold with reciprocating compressors, you must follow the procedures in either this paragraph (o)(8) or paragraph (p)(8) of this section to calculate emissions from the manifolded group of compressor sources.(9) For a manifolded group of compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(iv) of this section, you must use the continuous volumetric emission measurements taken as specified in paragraph (o)(5) of this section and calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions associated with each manifolded group of compressor sources using equation W-24C to this section. If the centrifugal compressors included in the manifolded group of compressor sources share the manifold with reciprocating compressors, you must follow the procedures in either this paragraph (o)(9) or paragraph (p)(9) of this section to calculate emissions from the manifolded group of compressor sources.(10) You must calculate volumetric emissions from centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility as specified in paragraphs (o)(10)(i) through (iv), as applicable.(i) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility that are subject to the centrifugal compressor standards in § 60.5380b of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter for dry seals and self-contained wet seals, you must conduct the volumetric emission measurements as required by § 60.5380b(a)(5) of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter, conduct all additional volumetric emission measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section using methods specified in paragraphs (o)(2) through (5) of this section (based on the compressor mode (as defined in § 98.238) in which the compressor was found at the time of measurement), and calculate emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(6) through (9) of this section. Conduct all measurements required by this paragraph (o)(10)(i) at the frequency specified by § 60.5380b(a)(4) of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter. For any reporting year in which measuring at the frequency specified by § 60.5380b(a)(4) of this chapter results in measurement not being required for a subject compressor, calculate emissions for all mode-source combinations as specified in paragraph (o)(6)(ii) of this section.(ii) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility that are not subject to the centrifugal compressor standards in § 60.5380b of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter for dry seals and self-contained wet seals, you may elect to conduct the volumetric emission measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section using methods specified in paragraphs (o)(2) through (5) of this section (based on the compressor mode (as defined in § 98.238) in which the compressor was found at the time of measurement), and calculate emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(6) through (9) of this section.(iii) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility for which paragraph (o)(10)(i) of this section does not apply and you do not elect to conduct the volumetric measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section, you must calculate total atmospheric wet seal oil degassing vent emissions from all centrifugal compressors at either an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility using equation W-25A to this section.

You must use one of the methods specified in paragraphs (o)(4)(ii)(A) through (D) of this section to quantify emissions from the identified source.(5) If you elect to conduct continuous volumetric emission measurements for a manifolded group of compressor sources as specified in paragraph (o)(1)(iv) of this section, you must measure volumetric emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(5)(i) through (iii) of this section.(i) Measure at a single point in the manifold downstream of all compressor inputs and, if practical, prior to comingling with other non-compressor emission sources.(ii) Continuously measure the volumetric flow for the manifolded group of compressor sources at standard conditions using a permanent meter according to methods set forth in § 98.234(b).(iii) If compressor blowdown emissions are included in the metered emissions specified in paragraph (o)(5)(ii) of this section, the compressor blowdown emissions may be included with the reported emissions for the manifolded group of compressor sources and do not need to be calculated separately using the method specified in paragraph (i) of this section for blowdown vent stacks.(6) . For compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(i) of this section, you must calculate annual GHG emissions from the compressor sources as specified in paragraphs (o)(6)(i) through (iv) of this section.(i) Using equation W-21 to this section, calculate the annual volumetric GHG emissions for each centrifugal compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section that was measured during the reporting year.(ii) Using equation W-22 to this section, calculate the annual volumetric GHG emissions from each centrifugal compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section that was not measured during the reporting year.(iii) Using equation W-23 to this section, develop an emission factor for each compressor mode-source combination specified in paragraphs (o)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section. These emission factors must be calculated annually and used in equation W-22 to this section to determine volumetric emissions from a centrifugal compressor in the mode- source combinations that were not measured in the reporting year.(iv) The reporter emission factor in equation W-23 to this section may be calculated by using all measurements from a single owner or operator instead of only using measurements from a single facility. If you elect to use this option, the reporter emission factor must be applied to all reporting facilities for the owner or operator.(7) . For compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(ii) of this section, you must use the continuous volumetric emission measurements taken as specified in paragraph (o)(3) of this section and calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions associated with the compressor source using equation W-24A to this section.(8) . For manifolded groups of compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(iii) of this section, you must calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions using equation W-24B to this section. If the centrifugal compressors included in the manifolded group of compressor sources share the manifold with reciprocating compressors, you must follow the procedures in either this paragraph (o)(8) or paragraph (p)(8) of this section to calculate emissions from the manifolded group of compressor sources.(9) For a manifolded group of compressor sources measured according to paragraph (o)(1)(iv) of this section, you must use the continuous volumetric emission measurements taken as specified in paragraph (o)(5) of this section and calculate annual volumetric GHG emissions associated with each manifolded group of compressor sources using equation W-24C to this section. If the centrifugal compressors included in the manifolded group of compressor sources share the manifold with reciprocating compressors, you must follow the procedures in either this paragraph (o)(9) or paragraph (p)(9) of this section to calculate emissions from the manifolded group of compressor sources.(10) You must calculate volumetric emissions from centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility as specified in paragraphs (o)(10)(i) through (iv), as applicable.(i) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility that are subject to the centrifugal compressor standards in § 60.5380b of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter for dry seals and self-contained wet seals, you must conduct the volumetric emission measurements as required by § 60.5380b(a)(5) of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter, conduct all additional volumetric emission measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section using methods specified in paragraphs (o)(2) through (5) of this section (based on the compressor mode (as defined in § 98.238) in which the compressor was found at the time of measurement), and calculate emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(6) through (9) of this section. Conduct all measurements required by this paragraph (o)(10)(i) at the frequency specified by § 60.5380b(a)(4) of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter. For any reporting year in which measuring at the frequency specified by § 60.5380b(a)(4) of this chapter results in measurement not being required for a subject compressor, calculate emissions for all mode-source combinations as specified in paragraph (o)(6)(ii) of this section.(ii) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility that are not subject to the centrifugal compressor standards in § 60.5380b of this chapter or an applicable approved state plan or applicable Federal plan in part 62 of this chapter for dry seals and self-contained wet seals, you may elect to conduct the volumetric emission measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section using methods specified in paragraphs (o)(2) through (5) of this section (based on the compressor mode (as defined in § 98.238) in which the compressor was found at the time of measurement), and calculate emissions as specified in paragraphs (o)(6) through (9) of this section.(iii) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility for which paragraph (o)(10)(i) of this section does not apply and you do not elect to conduct the volumetric measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section, you must calculate total atmospheric wet seal oil degassing vent emissions from all centrifugal compressors at either an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility using equation W-25A to this section. Emissions from centrifugal compressor wet seal oil degassing vents that are routed to a flare, combustion, or vapor recovery system are not required to be determined under this paragraph (o).(iv) For all centrifugal compressors at an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility or an onshore petroleum and natural gas gathering and boosting facility for which paragraph (o)(10)(i) of this section does not apply, and you do not elect to conduct the volumetric measurements specified in paragraph (o)(1) of this section, you must calculate wet seal oil degassing vent emissions from each centrifugal compressor using equation W-25B to this section.
