Notes/Remedial Actions
No information given on remedial actions. Flares exceed permits and are to be reported in deviation reports, but due to the incident being unavoidable, and not of reportable quantity, the permit exceedences are to be deferred to the next enforcement inspection. H2S fuel gas concentration was 1600 ppm following the event during startup, and the rolling average was approximately 360 ppm when the permitted limit is 160 ppm. There was approximately 87 pounds of SO2 from flare #2 and 2 pounds of SO2 from flare #3 in the 24 hour period.
