Background and Objective
● Background- Current Flare EI Assume 98% CE and with Fixed Speciation
- May Not Be Appropriate Under All Flaring Conditions
- Being Investigated Under the Current Flare Speciation Project
● Objective in CAMx Modeling- To Simulate the Effect of Flare Speciation on Ozone Formation
- Task 1: Worst Case Scenarios (Various CE of 98% down to 70%)
- Task 2: Specific Effects Based on the Flare Speciation Study
● Approach in Worst Case Scenarios- Modification of Flare EIs in Point Sources
- Simulation Using HGB June 2006 Episode (5/31 – 6/15, 2006)

Calculations of EI Modifications
● Formula for EI Calculations
- l: Combustion Efficiency
- FVOC, FNOX: Emissions of VOC and NOX
- FVent, HVVent: Flowrate and LHV of Vent Gas
- hNOX: Parameter for NOX Formation
● Changes of EI from CE=98% to 70%
- VOC EI Increases to 15.0 Times [(1-0.7)/(1-0.98)]
- NOX EI Decreases to 0.714 Times [0.7/0.98]

Concluding Remarks
● Flaring CE Affects Ozone Concentration
● Lower Flaring CEs correspond to Higher Ozone
Increments
● Maximum 8-hr Ozone Increments at CE=0.7 Could
Be as High as 57.4 ppb during June 2006 Episode
● Maximum Ozone Increments Occur Near Flaring
Sources
● Maximum Ozone Increments Occur in VOC-Limited
Area
