New EPA regulations for SF6 – do you have a gas handling plan?
Since the 1990′s, we have been proud to represent DILO (http://www.dilo.com), manufacturers of SF6 testing, diagnostic and maintenance equipment.
There is much concern and confusion in our market as the new EPA regulations regarding SF6 gas and the tracking of SF6 take affect. For any of our customers who have had the opportunity to meet and receive training from Lukas Rothlisberger, CEO of DILO, they know that Lukas is the ultimate resource for the latest in SF6 regulations.
Courtesy of Lukas and on behalf of EPA’s SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems, the below documents and specific sections relate to the maintenance and tracking of SF6 when used as insulation in electric power equipment.
1. Please note the EPA Proposed Mandatory Reporting Rule for Greenhouse Gas Emissions has been signed by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. More information and a copy of the rule is available at: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/ghgrulemaking.html
2. See p. 525 Section DD of the Preamble for details on SF6 from electric equipment.
3. See p. 1249 of the Regulation for details on SF6 from electric equipment.
4. Emissions from Electric Power Systems are proposed to be included if the total nameplate capacity of SF6-containing equipment exceeds 17,820 lbs of SF6, which is estimated to be the equivalent to an emissions threshold of 25,000 metric tons of CO2eq per year.
