This report presents the results of an initial research effort to identify potentially significant sources of air toxics emissions within the natural gas industry. Phase I activities focused on characterizing the gas industry from available information collected from literature searches, other Gas Research Institute (GRI) programs, industry representatives, EPA databases, state agencies, and trade organizations. This characterization included potential air toxics emissions sources and individual species from each source, where available. Process flow diagrams were developed for each industry segment, and within each segment, process operations were identified with potential emissions sources indicated. A database was designed and constructed to store the information collected. The available emissions data identified in the current study are very limited and represent four types of emission sources: glycol dehydrator units; internal combustion (IC) engines; gas turbines; and utility boilers.
