As a part of the Second Texas Air Quality Study (TexAQS II) the TCEQ assembled hourly measurements of industrial source emissions collected from regulated industries during August 15 through September 15, 2006. Data are available for a total of 32 days (768 hours). During this period, 141 sites in the eastern half of Texas (in 11 counties) reported their hourly emissions of volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
This project will use the modeling framework developed in the H12.EE and H13 projects to simulate the much more extensive emissions variability data now available in the 2006 hourly emission inventory. The primary objective of this analysis will be to determine current temporal emission profiles for flares (flares dominate the emissions reported in the hourly inventory) for refineries, chemical manufacturing facilities of various types, and other classes of facilities. In addition, recommendations for control strategy evaluation for components of the continuous emissions from flares will be developed.
