Abstract |
The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) require retrofit NOx control for existing combustion sources in ozone nonattainment areas, to the extent that the U.S. EPA and individual states determine what NOx reductions are needed for attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The states must prepare attainment plans that include specific source control retrofit programs and milestones to reduce ozone levels in all nonattainment areas. Natural gas prime movers (gas-fueled turbines and both rich- and lean-burn reciprocating internal combustion engines) used in the compression, transmission, and storage of natural gas can be significantly impacted by this regulatory process. This is because NOx emission levels from many existing uncontrolled reciprocating engines and turbines qualify them as "major" sources. In addition, emissions from new and modified prime movers trigger new source review (NSR) requirements in ozone nonattainment areas; the trigger levels vary depending upon the classification of each nonattainment area. |
