BP Cherry Point Cogeneration Project - Permitting Information

1. Facility Information

BP Cherry Point Cogeneration Project

2. Location

Northwestern Whatcom County, 7 miles southeast of Blaine, Washington.

3. Distance from US/Canada Border

8 miles

4. Facility Type and Size

The proposed 750 megawatt cogeneration project will be located adjacent to the existing BP Cherry Point petroleum refinery. BP proposes to construct three GE 7FA combustion turbines in combined-cycle mode. Each heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) will be equipped with a duct burner. One common steam turbine and electric generator will serve all three power trains. Steam and electricity from the cogeneration project will be provided to the refinery.

5. Sources of Emissions

Combustion turbines and HRSG duct burners.

6. Type of Fuel

Natural gas

7. Type and Quantity of Emissions & 8. Emission Control Technology

According to BP, "Total air criteria pollutants emitted by the Cogeneration Project will be completely offset by corresponding reductions in emission from the refinery made possible, in part, by the steam and electricity provided to the refinery by the Cogeneration Project."

The estimated annual emissions considering controls for the three new emission units:

Pollutant	Quantity of Emissions (tons / yr)	Emission Control Technology
PM10	273	Pipeline natural gas & good combustion practices
SO2	54	Pipeline natural gas & good combustion practices
NOx	228	Pipeline natural gas, good combustion practices, dry low-NOx combustors, & SCR
VOC	37	Pipeline natural gas, good combustion practices, oxidation catalyst
CO	116	Pipeline natural gas, good combustion practices, oxidation catalyst
H2SO4	18	Pipeline natural gas & good combustion practices
HAP	6	Pipeline natural gas, good combustion practices, oxidation catalyst
