Toxins Emitted from Compressors actually mostly from the gas that is being pushed by the compressors From Wilma Subra, subracompany Benzene Formaldehyde Methyl Ethyl Disulfide Naphthalene 1,1,1, 2-Tetrachloroethane Trichloroethylene Trimethyl Benzene 1,2,4-Trimethyl Benzene Styrene Methane Ethane Butane Propane n-Butyl Alcohol Carbon Disulfide Carbonyl Sulfide Chlorobenzene Chloromethane 1, 2-Dichloroethane Diethyl Benzene Dimethyl Disulfide Toulene Nitrogen Oxide Ethylbenzene 1,3-Butadiene

FULTON COMPRESSOR STATION Washington Avenue, Hickory, PA Upgraded plans from two to four Cat 1340 HP compressors. Permitted total facility allowed emissions are: NOx TONS per year VOC TONS per year CO TONS per year with four compressors these amounts would double to: NOx TONS per year VOC TONS per year CO TONS per year Source: marcellus-shale.us
