RECOMMENDATION
NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
("Illinois EPA"), through its attorneys, and pursuant to 35 III . Adm. Code 125.204 of the
ILLINOIS POLUTION CONTROL BOARD'S ("Board") procedural regulations, files
the Illinois EPA's Recommendation in the above-referenced request for tax certification
of pollution control facilities. In support thereof, the Illinois EPA states as follows
:
On December 30, 2004, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting
information from MARATHON ASHLAND PETROLEUM, LLC, ("Marathon")
concerning the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or
equipment located at its Robinson refinery in Crawford County, Illinois . The application
request identified the nature of the subject operations as the Low Temperature Thermal
Desorption Process (i.e ., "LLTD Process") . A copy of the relevant portions of the
application is attached hereto. [Exhibit Al
.
2 .
On the same date, the Illinois EPA received a separate request and
supporting application that identified the nature of the subject operations as the
"Centrifuge Process." A copy of the relevant portions of the application is attached
hereto. [Exhibit Bl
.

 
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 22, 2005
* * * * * PCB 2006-109 * * * * *
A review of both applications reveals that the applicant is essentially
seeking relief
for
one overall project. The application for the Centrifuge Process appears
to be a part and parcel of the LLTD Process, as it matches the same general description
.
It is also noted that the applications share the same description of components and
accounting data . For this reason, the Illinois EPA treated the applications as one
.
4 .
The applicant's address is as follows :
Marathon Ashland Petroleum . LLC
Refinery Office Building
Robinson . Illinois 62454
~ .
The pollution control facilities involved in this request are located at the
aforementioned address and, as previously, mentioned, consist of the installation of
control equipment associated with the refinery's LTTD Process, which includes a
centrifuge dewatering system and dryer unit. The various parts of the dewatering system
include five main process units consisting of "a steam-heated mix tank, a two-stage
centrifuge, a centrate holding tank, a centrifuge cake collection box, and an oil-water
separation tank." The LLTD Process is designed to reduce the volume of solid wastes
through a reduction in the moisture content of"influent oily soils and sludges ." The
process and related equipment do not constitute a pollution control device in and of itself,
however, a significant component of the overall process involves a reduction in emissions
of air contaminants. This component consists of the activated carbon canisters from the
centrifuge system that control the captured and vented volatile organic materials from the
various process units, achieving a greater than ninety-nine percent removal efficiency
.
6 .
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities" as
:

 
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 22, 2005
* * * * * PCB 2006-109 * * * * *
''any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto, or any portion of any building or equipment, that is designed,
constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of: (a)
eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution
.
. . or (h)
treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment, pretreatment,
modification or disposal might he harmful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or animal life, or to property ."
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2002)
.
Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the
centrifuge system's activated carbon canisters to prevent, eliminate or reduce air
pollution, it is the Illinois EPA's engineering judgment that the part of the described
project and/or equipment may be considered as "pollution control facilities" in
accordance with the statutory definition and consistent with the Board's regulations at 35
III. Adm. Code 125 .200. )Exhibit C1
.
The Illinois EPA notes that the applicant has not documented whether the
cost estimate in its application is representative of the total costs for the centrifuge
system's carbon canisters or the LLTD Process in its entirety . For purposes of this Tax
Certification, preferential tax treatment should only be afforded to the costs of the
activated carbon canister system, not the entire cost of the LLTD Process
.
10 .
Because the activated carbon canister system satisfies the aforementioned
criteria, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board grant the applicant's requested tax
certification as it relates to the same
.

Section C
Describe Unit Process :
The Low Temperature Thermal Desorption (LTTD) process consists of a centrifuge
dewatering system followed by the LTTD dryer unit. The LTTD process is designed to
minimize the volume of solid waste requiring disposal by reducing the moisture content
of influent oily soils and sludges. In addition, the desorption process will allow for the
recovery of oil from the influent sludges for reinsertion into the refining process
. Solids
from the American Petroleum Institute (API) separators and dissolved nitrogen flotation
(DNF) units, periodic sewer cleanouts, tank bottoms, clarified slurry oil tank solids,
miscellaneous oily sludges and miscellaneous contaminated oils will be collected and
first dewatered using a two-stage centrifuge dewatering system
.
The centrifuge
dewatering system consists of five main process units
:
a steam-heated mix tank, a two-
stage centrifuge, a centrate holding tank, a centrifuge cake collection box, and an oil-
water separation tank. Cake from the centrifuge will be augered to the LTTD dryer unit .
The LTTD is indirectly heated to reach temperatures of 220 degrees F, thereby further
reducing the moisture content of the sludges
.
Cake from the LTTD dryer unit will be
collected in covered roll-off boxes for subsequent disposal .
Section C
Materials used in process
:
Tank bottoms, clarified slurry oil tank solids, miscellaneous oily sludges and

Section C
Describe Unit Process
:
The centrifuge system is designed to minimize the volume of solid waste requiring
disposal by reducing the moisture content of the influent oily soils and sludges.
In
addition, the dewatering process will allow for the recovery of oil from the influent
sludges for reinsertion into the refining process . Solids from the American Petroleum
Institute (API) separator and dissolved nitrogen flotation (DNF) unit, periodic sewer
cleanouts, tank bottoms, clarified slurry oil tank solids, miscellaneous oily sludges, and
miscellaneous contaminated soils will be collected and dewatered using a two-stage
centrifuge dewatering system. The dewatering system consists of five main process
units: a steam-heated mix tank, a two-stage centrifuge, a centrate holding tank, a
centrifuge cake collection box, and an oil-water separation tank
. (See Table I in
Attachment C for the mass balance calculations used to determine the influent and
effluent flow rates presented in the APC-220 form for each process unit .)
All process units will be sealed and vented emissions will pass through activated carbon
canisters. The carbon canisters are designed to achieve greater than 99 percent removal
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the vented gases . Exhaust from the canisters
will be monitored once every 24-hours during operation
. When monitored exhaust gas
concentrations exceed 500 parts per million (ppmv), the carbon canister will be replaced .
Spent carbon canisters will be sent off-site for regeneration
.

Memorandum
Technical Recommendation for Tax Certification Approval
Date
:
November 02, 2005
To :
Robb Layman
From :
Don Sutton

Subject :
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-12B & TC-04-30-12L
This Agency received a request on December 30, 2004 from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC for an
Illinois EPA recommendation regarding tax certification of air pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 III
.
Adm. Code 125.204. I offer the following recommendation .
The air pollution control facilities in this request include the following
:
LTTD Process, including Centrifuge system and dryer unit, has a primary
purpose is to reduce the amount of solids to be disposed of . Because the primary
purpose of this process is not to reduce or eliminate air pollution, it is not certified as a
pollution control facility, however, the activated carbon canisters, whose primary purpose
is to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds, are certified as a pollution control facility
.
This facility is located at 100 Marathon Avenue, Robinson
The property identification number is Part of 51-34-1-21
Based on the information included in this submittal, it is my engineering Judgement that
the proposed facility may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC
125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing air pollution,
or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax certification from
the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board
issue the requested tax Certification for these carbon canisters
.
