1.0 Introduction

This Comprehensive Coke Management Plan (the Plan) establishes management roles, procedures, and practices for processing, storing, and handling petroleum coke and coke gasification slag at the Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC (CRRM) refinery (000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx) and the Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC (CRNF) facility (000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx). These facilities are located adjacent to each other in Coffeyville, Kansas (Figure 1).

The purpose of the Plan is to satisfy the applicable provisions of the environmental agreement and shared services agreement between CRRM and CRNF. Petroleum coke is produced by CRRM as part of their petroleum refining operations. CRNF uses the coke as a raw material to produce the hydrogen-rich synthesis gas it uses to manufacture ammonia and other nitrogen fertilizers. CRNF produces the coke gasification slag as a byproduct.

2.0 Coke Handling Systems Description

Petroleum coke is produced by the CRRM xxxxx units. During the coking process, petroleum coke accumulates in one of the xxxxx unit coke drums. When the drum is full, the process is switched to an empty drum, and the full drum is quenched, cooled, and opened for coke cutting. Coke is cut from the drum using a high-pressure water stream. Cut coke falls through the bottom of the drum into the west end of the xxxxx unit coke pit. The coke pit is surrounded by a concrete wall. The pit is oriented in an east-west direction, and is sloped so that water flows toward the west end. An overhead traveling crane is used to pile the coke for dewatering at, or near, the mid-point of the pit.

After the coke is dewatered, a tracked excavator, positioned on the paved area just outside the pit to the south, loads coke from the middle section of the coke pit into dump trucks. The coke is transported to either the CRNF coke pad for feed to the gasification process, or to the Intermediate Coke Storage Area for temporary storage. A contractor manages the coke handling, loading, and transportation operations under the direction of CRNF.

Coke is transported to the coke pad from storage area or directly from the coke pit in dump trucks. Trucks unload by dumping from the top of the ramp located at the west side of the coke pad. At the coke pad, coke is blended with amendments for desired properties and then loaded into a xxxxxx on the feeder-breaker to begin the crushing process. Coke blending and loading is carried out on the coke pad using a front-end loader. The coke is reduced in size to pieces less than 4 inches in diameter. From the feeder-breaker the coke is conveyed to the crusher, which further reduces the size of the coke to pieces no larger than 0.5 inches in diameter. The crushed coke is moved directly from the crusher to the storage silo by the storage silo conveyor. A contractor manages the coke handling, loading, and crushing operations under the direction of CRNF.

From the coke storage silo, coke is conveyed by the coke belt feeders onto the rod mill conveyor. Fluxant is added and the combined feed is slurried with recycled grey water in the rod mill. From the rod mill, the slurry is pumped to the slurry run-tanks; from there it is fed to the gasification process.

Slag is the residual ash and mineral content of the coke once all the carbon and hydrogen have been taken in the gasification process. Slag is a dark grey or black granular solid and is produced as a byproduct of the process.

The Intermediate Coke Storage Area is a 3.7-acre section of the facility tank farm located east of Sunflower Road. It is surrounded by a low berm topped by a gravel haul road. Coke is stored on the northern portion of the area. Coke is transported to the intermediate storage area from the coke pit, or from off-site petroleum coke suppliers, in dump or xxxxxx trucks that are unloaded by dumping. A front-end loader is used to move coke within the storage area and to load coke into dump trucks for transportation from the storage area to the coke pad. Slag produced as a residual of the gasification process is stored on the south side of the Intermediate Coke Storage Area and is loaded by front-end loader into trucks for transportation off-site. Up to 60,000 tons of coke (approximately a 40-day supply) can be stored in the Intermediate Coke Storage Area. A contractor manages the coke and slag handling, loading, and transportation operations under the direction of CRNF.

3.0 Coke Management Responsibilities

This section provides a narrative description of the responsibility of each of the entities involved in the coke handling and transportation process. A detailed breakdown of responsibilities by area is provided in Table 1. This section also describes the minimum management practices and standards to be followed by each entity.

3.1 Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing

CRRM produces petroleum coke from the refinery’s xxxxx units. Coking is a batch process. Coke accumulates in a coke drum during the coking cycle and exits the process when cut from the drum by a high-pressure water stream. CRRM is responsible for production of the coke, cutting coke from the coke drums, and moving coke away from the base of the drums at the western end of the coke pit, to the middle section of the coke pit, using the overhead traveling crane.

Management practices for the xxxxx process and coke cutting operations are beyond the scope of this Plan. The CRRM management practices for handling cut coke include:

	•		Operate the crane so as to prevent coke from being spilled outside of the coke pit.

	•		Ensure that any coke spilled outside of the coke pit is cleaned up before the end of each shift.

3.2 Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers

CRNF is the user of the petroleum coke, and acts as the primary supervisor of the coke handling contractor. Coke is transported and crushed by the contractor under CRNF supervision before being fed into the coke storage silo by the coke storage silo conveyor. CRNF operates the coke storage silo, coke belt feeders, rod mill and the downstream gasification process. CRNF is responsible for responding to coke spills from the coke storage silo conveyor and coke belt feeders. CRNF is also responsible for non-routine maintenance and repair of fixed coke handling equipment and associated emission control devices such as the coke crusher baghouse.

Operating practices for the coke gasification process are beyond the scope of this Plan. The CRNF management practices for the coke belt feeders, conveyors and coke storage silo include:

	•		Ensure that all conveyor, silo, and feeder covers are maintained in-place and that access hatchways are kept closed.

	•		Ensure that any coke leakage from the silo conveyor or belt feeders, and all coke spilled during conveyor maintenance, is cleaned up before the end of each shift.

	•		Complete all repairs of coke handling equipment in a timely manner.

	•		Complete all repairs of the coke crusher baghouse and other emission control devices as quickly as possible, and ensuring that the crusher is not operated unless the baghouse is in service.

	•		Install catch basin covers, sediment screens or other similar storm water best management practices to prevent coke dust from entering storm drains located near coke handling or transportation operations.

3.3 Coke Handling Contractor

The coke handling contractor is responsible for loading, offsite transporting and unloading coke at the facility, and for loading and transporting slag to buyers as specified in their agreement with CRNF. A copy of the current agreement is provided in Appendix A. This includes the responsibility to operate and maintain all coke loading equipment and trucks. The contractor is also responsible for operation and routine maintenance of the feeder-breaker, crusher, and related conveyors. Finally, the contractor operates a street sweeper to remove coke and slag dust from paved facility roads.

The contractor has developed a set of procedures for coke transportation and handling operations that are used to train the contractor’s employees. A current copy of these procedures is provided in Appendix B.

The contractor’s existing procedures specify several standard management practices, including periodically washing coke loading equipment and trucks, operating the street sweeper, and maintaining good communication to prevent accidents.

Kansas motor vehicle regulations apply to dump trucks carrying coke when driving on or crossing Sunflower Road or other public roads. A complete text of the current regulation is provided in Appendix C.

The contractor should ensure that its existing procedures are followed and should incorporate the additional management practices listed below into their procedures. Additional management practices for coke handling and transportation include the following:

	•		Ensure that spills of coke from trucks are minimized, and that spillage onto public roads is prevented.

	•		Clean up all coke spilled during truck loading from the coke pit as soon as practical. Ensure that all coke spilled on or around the loading area on the south side of the coke pit is cleaned up before the end of each shift.

	•		Clean up all coke spilled over the walls of the CRNF coke pad before the end of each shift.

	•		Maintain catch basin covers, sediment screens or other similar storm water best management practices to prevent coke dust from entering storm drains located near coke handling or transportation operations.

The following specific additions should be made to the contractor’s operating procedures:

	•		Add items to the section on loading and unloading coke in the 10 Wheel Dump Truck Procedures, to the Front End Loader Procedure, and to the Coke Pit Excavator Procedure specifying that loaders fill coke trucks no higher than 6 inches below the top of the bed walls.

	•		The parties should acknowledge that the Coke Handling Agreement (Appendix A) was previously assigned to Savage Service Corporation (by Banks Construction Company, Inc.) and to Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC (by Farmland Industries, Inc.).

	•		The Coke Handling Procedures (Appendix B) refer to the gasification/nitrogen plant as a part of the refinery. These references should be updated to reflect the split in ownership between Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC and Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC.

•

The Coke Handling Procedures (Appendix B) make reference to, and are subordinate to, refinery safety and security procedures. These sections should be updated to reference CRRM safety and security procedures when work is conducted on refinery property and CRNF safety and security procedures when work is conducted on nitrogen plant property.

Appendix B — Coke Handling Contractor Procedures

10 Wheel Dump Truck Procedures
Petroleum Coke and Slag

PURPOSE: The purpose of this procedure is to outline the correct procedure for loading and unloading petroleum coke and slag into 10 wheel dump trucks operating in the Coffeyville Resources Refinery.

HAZARDS: Hazards associated with loading and unloading petroleum coke stag utilizing 10 wheel dump trucks include the following:

	*		Operating within the confines of a refinery. All refinery safety rules and regulations must be followed 100% of the time — NO EXCEPTIONS

	*		Tipping trailer bed over when trailer bed is raised for dumping

	*		Moving around heavy machinery, golf carts and pedestrians

	*		Falls while climbing in and out of dump truck

	*		Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) — In sufficient concentrations, H2S can be lethal. Extreme caution must be exercised anytime there is a potential exposure to H2S. All employees will wear an H2S monitor that has an auditory, a visual, and a vibrating alert when outside of the dump truck.

	*		Hazardous conditions created by repetitive backing operations, unguarded rail road tracks

SCOPE:

	*		This procedure applies to all members of the Savage Refinery Services Group — Gulf Coast Region;

	*		All driving rules and functions will be regulated by Department of Transportation and the Fleet Motor Carrier Safety Regulations as well as Savage Policies and Procedures;

	*		Deviations from the requirements of this procedure are not permitted without the prior consent of Savage management and/or appropriate management of the customer;

	*		Failure to follow this procedure may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination for the first offence;

RESPONSIBILITY: The respective Operations Manager shall ensure that this procedure is followed by all personnel when loading or unloading end-dump trucks for Coffeyville Resources Refinery, and that personnel are adequately trained and are provided with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools to accomplish this task. Training will be documented and placed in the employee’s training file.

The below listings are the specific items required to successfully accomplish this task.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)		Miscellaneous Safety Equipment
	Hard Hat (ANSI Z89.1 Certified)		Flashlight
	Savage Approved FRC (Nomex) Uniform		Leather Gloves
	Safety Toed Leather Work Boots, with a heeled sole (ANSI Z41.1 Certified)		CB Radio, channel 32
	Safety Glasses with side xxxxxxx (ANSI Z-87)
	H2S Monitor

Entering the Refinery:

1.1		Prior to the start of driving the 10 wheel dump truck, it is both DOT policy and Savage Services that a pre-trip inspection of the vehicle is completed. Three points of contact will be utilized at all times when mounting or dismounting the vehicle;

1.2		Ensure that you have all required PPE, security badges, and your drivers license;

Document: 10 Wheel Dump Truck Procedures	Revision Date:	Page #: 1 of 4

10 Wheel Dump Truck Procedures
Petroleum Coke and Slag

1.3		The speed limit of the refinery is 13 MPH. The speed limit of the intermediate pad is 15 MPH;

1.4		Communication between the excavator operator or loader operator and the driver of the 10 wheel dump truck will be by CB radio, channel 32;

1.5		Cell phones may be prohibited in certain areas of the plant, always refer to the site specific procedures for the customer or check with the guard to determine if you have to turn off your cell phone prior to entering the plant. Cell phones will not be used while your vehicle is in motion at any time;

Loading and Unloading Coke:

The day’s normal operation will generally consist of two specific types of hauls, from the coke pit to the crusher pad, and from the slag pit to the intermediate pad. Under normal operations, the day will begin with hauling coke from the coke pit to the crusher pad;

There may be occasions that the dump truck will be utilized to haul excess coke from the coke pit to the intermediate pad or return from the intermediate pad back to the crusher. The same basic steps will be completed if this is to be performed as outlined in this procedure;

Ensure four way flashers are on and tap the horn to warn others of your intentions to back up. Initiate communication with the excavator operator. The dump truck will then back up to the coke pit wall;

Communication is critical with the excavator operator. The two most prevalent hazards during the backing of the vehicle are pedestrian/vehicle traffic, and moving rail cars;

1.5		After the truck is loaded, the excavator will inform the dump truck operator that they are clear to move;

1.6		The dump truck will proceed to the ramp of the crusher. There are two sets of rail road tracks that the truck must cross.

The driver must be very aware of any train car movements prior to crossing as there are often times that the rail has not provided any personnel to warn of movement and there are not any automatic gates at either set of rails;

Under no circumstances will the truck back into the crusher pad. If required to enter the crusher pad, Savage Supervisor or the Manager must be notified of the reason that this is required. The truck will only drive forward and MUST communicate with the loader operator prior to entry;

1.9		Ensure four way flashers are on and tap the horn to warn others of your intentions to back up. The dump will then back up the ramp of the crusher pad;

1.10		Place the dump lever in the “Hold” position, unlatch the tailgate and engage the PTO;

1.11		Move the dump lever to the “Raise” position. Raise the engine RPM’s to between 1200 and 1600 RPM’s. This may vary depending on the truck. Do not raise the bed faster than the product will slide out evenly;

1.12		If the product does not start sliding out prior to the bed being halfway up, stop the bed from going up. Lower it again in an attempt to loosen the product enough to start sliding out;

1.13		When the bed reaches maximum height, place the dump lever in the “Hold” position. Disengage the PTO;

1.14		Check with the loader operator via CB radio to ensure that the bed is empty and that there is no product buildup. Move the dump lever to the “Lower” position;

1.15		It is critical that the driver ensures that the bed is completely lowered prior to exiting the ramp. If the bed is left up, it will hit the overhead pipes that are over the rail road tracks;

Petroleum Coke and Slag

1.16		Move the dump lever to the “Hold” position and latch the tailgates;

1.17		Return to the coke pit for another load. All loads will be kept on the Coffeyville Mileage and Fuel report and turned in daily;

Loading and Unloading Slag:

1.1		During a cut of the xxxxx unit and the overhead crane begins operations, the loading operation of the 10 wheel dump truck will cease;

1.2		At this time, the dump truck will proceed to the slag pit to begin loading operations there until the coke cut has been moved from in front of the xxxxx unit chutes and the overhead crane has completed it’s operation;

1.3		Ensure four way flashers are on. Place the dump truck alongside the south wall to place into position for loading. Do not drive over the hump at the S.E. corner of the slag pit;

1.4		Throughout operations, the driver must get out and physically check all the tires. If any tire is low or flat, the flat must be fixed prior to attempting to dump the load to prevent tipping the truck over during the unloading process;

1.5		Communication between the dump truck driver and the loader is critical. The loader will assist the driver in watching for pedestrian and vehicle traffic as the truck is being moved into position to load;

1.6		After the truck is loaded, the loader operator will inform that he is clear to move the vehicle;

1.7		The dump truck will proceed to the intermediate pad, stopping at the gate to check out of the refinery by presenting his/her security badge to security personnel;

1.8		Enter the intermediate pad through the Lab Gate. The driver will have to card in at the gate’s card reader;

1.9		Pull into the slag pile area and find a level spot to dump the load of slag. If there is snow or ice present, the ground that the dump truck will travel on will be cleared by the loader prior to attempting to dump the load. This is applicable any time a dump truck enters the intermediate pad area;

1.10		Place the dump lever in the “Hold” position, unlatch the tailgate and engage the PTO;

1.11		Move the dump lever to the “Raise” position. Raise the engine RPM’s to between 1200 and 1600 RPM’s. This may vary depending on the truck. Do not raise the bed faster than the product will slide out evenly;

1.12		As the bed empties out, allow the truck to be pushed forward slightly. If the product does not start sliding out prior to the bed being halfway up, stop the bed from going up. Lower it again in an attempt to loosen the product enough to start sliding out;

1.13		When the bed reaches maximum height, Place the dump lever in the “Hold” position. Disengage the PTO;

1.14		Pull the truck forward slowly to clear the product pile. Avoid slapping the tailgate against the bed of the truck as the truck is pulled forward;

1.15		Move the dump lever to the “Lower” position;

1.16		Move the dump lever to the “Hold” position and latch the tailgates after the bed has completely lowered;

1.17		Return to the slag pit for another load. All loads will be kept on the Coffeyville Mileage and Fuel report and turned in daily;

PURPOSE: This Safe Work Practice (SWP) outlines the correct procedures to follow daily when utilizing a front end loader in the Coffeyville Resources Refinery. There are many hazards associated with loader operations, extreme caution must be exercised at all time you are in or near the front end loader, especially during operational activities.

HAZARDS: This is not an all inclusive listing but is intended to give the reader an overview of the hazards associated with being in and around an operating xxxxx unit and pit.

	•		Heavy equipment operation

	•		Vehicle and pedestrian traffic

	•		Overhead exposures to pipes, conveyor tubes, and energized lines

	•		Visibility issues, steam, pressurized systems

			Falls from the equipment

SCOPE:

	•		This procedure applies to all members of the Savage Refinery Services Group — Gulf Coast Region;

	•		Deviations from the requirements of this procedure are not permitted without the prior consent of Savage management and/or appropriate management of the customer;

	•		Failure to follow this procedure may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination for the first offence;

RESPONSIBILITY: The respective Operations Manager shall ensure that this procedure is followed by all personnel when working in and around the coke pit and that those personnel are adequately trained and are provided with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools to accomplish this task.

The below listings are the specific items required to successfully accomplish this task.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
	Hard Hat
	(ANSI Z89.1 Certified)	Hearing protection
	Safety Toed Leather Work Boots, with a heeled sole
	(ANSI Z41.1 Certified)	Gloves

		FRONT END LOADER PROCEDURES Petroleum Coke and Slag

1.5		When visibility is obscured by steam or some other interference, stop what you are doing and wait for your visibility to return. NEVER assume that it is okay to work in an area if you cannot see.

1.6		The material handled by the front end loader will be petroleum coke and the slag generated when the coke is used. This coke is used to feed the Gasifier Unit of the refinery. The coke is feed into a crusher, which feeds the feeder breaker, which conveys the crushed coke to the silo for use by the Gasifier Unit of the refinery;

1.7		Under normal operation, the loader will generally have three specific operational areas that will be worked in daily. These operation areas are the slag additive bin, the crusher pad and the slag pit;

1.8		At the beginning of the day, the loader will proceed to the slag additive bin and ensure that the bin is filled with slag additive;

1.9		After the slag additive bin is filled, the loader will proceed to the slag pit. All the slag will be pushed into the southwest corner to allow the water to drain from the slag. Additionally, the slag must be cleared up to the concrete blocks in the north west corner so the water has free travel to the drain;

1.10		While working in the slag pit, the loader operator must remain aware of the conveyer belt that is delivering the slag into the pit;

1.11		The loader operator will then proceed to the crusher pad. While in the crusher pad, there will be two separate and distinctive jobs performed, however they will be performed simultaneously;

1.12		The first job will be to stack the coke brought over from the xxxxx unit in the 10 wheel dump trucks. It is wet and cannot be fed into the crusher as it will likely cause a stoppage in the feeder breaker;

1.13		This coke will be dumped into the crusher pad from the dump trucks off the ramp to the crusher pad;

1.14		As the coke from the xxxxx unit is dumped, the loader operator will move the coke from the bottom of the ramp to the stacked coke piled up around the pad to allow proper drainage of the coke;

1.15		If the coke is brought from the intermediate pad in a 10 wheel dump truck, the coke can be fed into the crusher xxxxxx;

1.16		UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A TRUCK BACK INTO THE PAD. If it necessary to bring a truck into the pad, it will drive in forward. The supervisor must be notified that this is happening and communication between the loader operator and the truck driver is critical;

1.17		The second job will be to feed the coke brought in from off site in end dump trucks into the crusher;

1.18		Once the coke from the end dump is dumped at the ramp, the loader operator will move the coke directly into the crusher or stacked if the silo is full;

1.19		When the operations at the xxxxx unit is complete, the 10 wheel dump truck will move from delivering coke from the coke unit to the crusher pad to delivering slag from the slag pit to the intermediate pad. At this time the loader operator will proceed to the slag pit to load the 10 wheel dump truck;

1.20		After loading the 10 wheel dump truck with slag at the slag pit, the loader operator will move back to the crusher pad to continue stacking coke or filling the crusher xxxxxx as off site trucks bring in dry coke;

		FRONT END LOADER PROCEDURES Petroleum Coke and Slag

1.21		The 10 wheel dump truck will communicate when he/she has delivered the load of slag to the intermediate pad and they are at the Gasifier Gate, at which time the loader operator will proceed back to the slag pit to load the 10 wheel dump truck;

1.22		The delivery of the slag to the intermediate pad will continue until the slag pit is empty or operations start again at the xxxxx unit;

1.23		Prior to securing at the end of the day, the loader operator will proceed to the slag additive bin and refill it for the evening;

1.24		After the slag additive bin is filled, the loader will proceed to the slag pit. All the slag will be pushed into the southwest corner to allow the water to drain from the slag. Additionally, the slag must be cleared up to the concrete blocks in the north west corner so the water has free travel to the drain;

1.25		The loader will then be washed, all the trash will be removed from the cab, and filled with fuel. This will be accomplished daily;

1.26		The loader will be parked in the area in front of the Savage break room. The loader will NEVER be nosed in to park. The loader will be backed in utilizing a ground guide if one is available. However, always look behind the equipment while backing and do not rely solely on the ground guide for safe backing;

1.27		A post operation check will be completed on the loader. The post operation checklist will be turned into the shop after each shift,

		COKE PIT EXCAVATOR PROCEDURE Petroleum Coke

1.6		When visibility is obscured by steam or some other interference, stop what you are doing and wait for your visibility to return. NEVER assume that it is okay to work in an area if you cannot see.

1.7		In between loading dump trucks, the excavator will move product from west end of the pit to the east end to allow room for the overhead crane to work;

1.8		Anytime the excavator is moved alongside the pit wall, the boom and stick will be lowered far enough to clear the overhead crane;

1.9		Once the overhead crane is put into operation in the west end near the xxxxx units, the excavator will move to the east end out of the overhead crane’s dumping area or cease operation completely if the overhead crane has to work in the close proximity of the excavator,

1.10		At no time will the excavator operate within thirty feet (or the approximate length of the boom extended all the way out) of the overhead crane. If the excavator has to cease operations, then the boom and bucket will be removed from the pit area and placed outside the pit wall;

1.11		As you work in the coke pit area, it is important that you understand that you are entering a high traffic area with many hazards. The excavator operator will assist the dump truck driver by communicating pedestrian or vehicle traffic in the area as the dump truck driver positions his truck for loading;

1.12		The excavator operator MUST be aware of any train movements, vehicle or pedestrian traffic prior or during the dump truck backing. The excavator operator will assist the dump truck driver by communicating with him by radio as he is backing;

1.13		As the dump truck is being loaded, keep in mind that the load should be placed in the center of the dump truck from side to side, and evenly from front to rear to prevent tip over when it is unloaded;

1.14		The dump truck will then proceed to the ramp of the crusher pad;

1.15		After the coke pile from the cut is depleted, the excavator operator will clean alongside the outside of the pit area and the concrete pad with the skid steer. The skid steer will be at the crusher pad or the break room area;

1.16		A post operation check will be completed on the excavator and turned into the shop after each shift.
