Not required for unplanned events which are less than or equal to i hour DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT & CAUSE The booster compressor shut down due to high ambient temperatures and required several attempts to restart. Assist gas was used to maintain opacity compliance. High ambient temperatures caused the booster compressor to shut down. Assist gas use was required to maintain opacity A small amount of assist gas was required to mitigate a small amount of black flare emissions, to maintain compliance with opacity regulation. The assist gas valve failed to completely seat when commanded to close. MI compressor recycle trips, shut downs, and re-starts caused some flaring for safe depressurization of the compressor, which necessitated use of assist gas to avoid flare emission opacity, as The Mi compressor tripped to recycle, shut down, and was re- started. Flaring was necessary to safely depressurize the compressor during the shutdown. Assist gas use was required for Not required for unplanned events which are less than or equal to 1 hour ACTION TAKEN TO ELIMINATE CAUSE The booster compressor was restarted and assist gas use was eliminated as soon as possible: Approximately 40`0 of the flared volume was assist gas required for opacity compliance. The booster compressor was restarted and assist gas use was eliminated as soon as possible. The majority of the assist gas usage was for the cause of avoiding flare emission opacity. When the small flow of gas was discovered, the valve was resealed to eliminate undesired use of assist gas. The MI compressor control logic was diagnosed and tuned to promote more stable performance. Assist gas usage was eliminated as soon as opacity compliance was attained. The MI compressor was restarted and assist gas use was eliminated as soon as permitted by opacity regulation.

Upon eliminating assist gas use, the valve did not fully seal and a very small amount of assist gas continued to The MI compressor shut down and depressured safely via flaring. Assist gas use was necessary to maintain compliance with A booster compressor shut down due to ambient temperature swing and plant instability. Assist gas was used to mitigate flare opacity as per regulation. Both booster compressors shut down and required major repairs before they could be restarted. Flared gas included what is usually handled by the booster compressor and the associated assist gas as necessary to maintain opacity compliance. The assist gas use was eliminated when it was discovered that it had been flaring unintentionally. It was immediately shut-in. MI compressor control logic was diagnosed to facilitate more stable performance. Assist gas usage was eliminated as soon as opacity compliance was restored. Production was cut to attain plant stability and the assist gas use was eliminated as soon as permitted by the opacity The booster compressor that was repaired first was re-started and the assist gas use was eliminated as soon as opacity was in compliance.

The assist gas use was eliminated as soon as possible, given compliance with Opactiy regulation. 09/21 /99 06:30-07:40 45 B booster compressor shut down when slugging from SDI initiated instability in the plant. Assist gas was needed to mitigate flare opacity as per EPA regulation. A booster compressor was restarted and assist gas use was eliminated as soon as possible. 09/21 /99 20:30-21:30 210 The MI compressor was started up, requiring purge and pressurization which ncessitated flaring.
