Plant 3 Tank 2006 and Tank 3201 Vapor Control Project

Continuous improvement and emissions intensity reduction.

Project highlights:

Timeline

Construction is expected to conclude in 2027.

Technology

The vapor control system utilizes ultra-high efficiency filtration and activated carbon adsorption—proven technologies for capturing and reducing air pollutants.

Emissions intensity reduction

This project will reduce emissions intensity of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).

Compliance

The project demonstrates Suncor’s commitment to air quality standards and environmental stewardship.

Project overview

The Tank 2006 and Tank 3201 Vapor Control project is designed to control opacity from the tank roof vents and reduce emissions intensity of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) through the installation of new vapor collection and control systems on Tank 2006 and Tank 3201, existing asphalt storage tanks. These tanks are used to store paving and roofing asphalts produced on site.

Each dedicated control system will include a filtration system and an activated carbon adsorption bed, which are proven technologies for capturing and reducing air pollutants from asphalt storage tanks. This project will help ensure compliance with federal air quality standards.

Methodologies notice

The calculations and methodologies applied in the context of the permit application submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for this project are required by Colorado Regulation 3.
