Good Engineering Practice (GEP) Stack: The stack height (as measured from the ground-level elevation at the

base of the stack) below which emissions from the source are influenced by the aerodynamic downwash of nearby buildings or other structures. The GEP stack height, HS, is calculated as follows: HS = H + 1.5L where H is the height of the nearby structure and L is the lesser dimension of the height or width of the nearby structure. Nearby means that distance up to 5 times L but not greater than 0.8 kilometer ( mile). It should be noted that compliance with this condition does not relieve the PMT or Facility from ensuring ambient air quality standards are also met. For safety purposes, HS must also meet the requirements of SAES-B-055, Appendix F-1 which states that the top of the furnace stack shall be at least 3 meters higher than any working platform within 60 meters horizontally of the stack. Inhalable Particulates: Any particle dispersed to the atmosphere in solid or liquid form that has an aerodynamic size of 10 microns or less. Realistic determination particle behavior in any environment must consider the size, shape, and density of the particle. The technique best able to accomplish this is called aerodynamic sizing. The aerodynamic diameter of a particle is defined as the diameter of a sphere having the same resistance to motion as the particle. 7.2 Air Intake Locations Air intakes are required for a number of items of equipment that are located in or near plants. Included are internal combustion engines and turbines, air compressors, inert gas generators, forced draft furnaces, buildings (including substations) containing unclassified electrical equipment, and boilers. These equipment items represent an internal source of ignition for any flammable vapors that might have been pulled in with the air, and the potential for internal explosion. For this reason, the locations of air intakes in relation to adjacent equipment must be carefully selected. Factors to be taken into account include prevailing wind direction, probable horizontal and vertical dispersion patterns, and the degree of hazard that would result from contamination of the air and possible formation of a flammable vapor/air mixture. In instances where air conditioning equipment is utilized for buildings in hydrocarbon processing plants, additional factors for protection of personnel hazards or nuisance from toxic or other vapors shall meet SAES-B-014.

Individual exhaust air systems shall be provided for battery rooms, laboratories, and toilet areas. The exhaust duct from each of these rooms (battery, laboratory, toilet) shall not be combined with any other exhaust duct.
