This document is a technical annex of an air emissions license for a refinery operated by Chevron, dated 31 March 2014. It specifies the inventory of storage tanks, emission limits for various combustion and cracking units, required air pollution control technologies, and strict monitoring and reporting obligations to the Licensing Authority and the City of Cape Town.

• The refinery utilizes a variety of storage tanks for petroleum products, including fixed-roof, floating-roof, and pressure vessels (spheres and bullets). Substances stored include Bunker Gas Oil (BGO), Diesel Gas Oil (DGO)/Seal Oil, Intermediate Product/Slop, and LPG.
• Specific air pollution control technologies are mandated, including Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) for FCCU units, a Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) with a Cottrell Tailgas Treating (TGTU) unit, and a Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) with a nominal yearly capacity of 400,000 m3.
• The license establishes 'bubble cap' emission limits for Sulphur dioxide (SO2) from Combustion Installations and Catalytic Cracking Units: 1.2 Kg SO2/ ton for existing plants by 1 April 2015, and 0.4 Kg SO2/ ton for new plants by 1 April 2020.
• The license holder is required to maintain continuous ambient air quality monitoring at the Tableview station and gather data from Bothasig and Plattekloof stations, which are operated by the City of Cape Town.
• Strict reporting protocols are mandated for flare events and emergencies: any event emitting more than 1.5 tons of SO2 per day from a flare must be reported within 48 hours, with a full report submitted within 14 days.
• The refinery must implement a Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program for materials with a vapour pressure greater than 14kPa and submit the results of this program in its annual report.
