A plan to replace flares at the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant will take years — and cost a ton of money.
Now, “flare replacement is the best path forward to compliance,” said Erika Chavez, deputy district counsel for AQMD. “These, so there’s no reason to hold off at this point.”
The six new flares will be ultra-low nitrogen oxide, which emit about half the amount of smog compared to the old, low NOx ones, said Thomas Chapman, a principal engineer with consulting firm Brown And Caldwell. Chapman worked with Los Angeles Sanitation & Environment, the agency that runs Hyperion, to develop the revised implementation plan.
The current ones can still operate, but are old and need repairs, he added. And even with repairs, there’s no guarantee the flares will meet emission requirements.The project will take at least eight years, he added, with design development, making and shipping the equipment and finally installing it. He estimates the work will cost about $160 million, but it could range from $100 million to $200 million.
