Federal air regulations require that you keep track of the air emissions that are generated by petroleum storage, loading, and petrochemical production tanks that are used in your facility. Tank emissions fall into four main categories, all of which are regulated: manufacturing, storage, packaging, and loading tanks.
Calculating these air emissions can become a complex process, since there are many more factors that affect the quantity of emissions being released than most other manufacturing operations. This eBook offers you a practical guide to understanding the methodology at work when accounting and reporting for your oil and gas storage tanks, loading processes, and other working losses.
After reading this guide you will understand:
- The fundamental components of tanks calculations
- The core equation for emissions from standing and working losses
- How differences in tank types impact emissions
- How to determine emissions from loading operations on land
- How to determine emissions from loading operations at marine terminals
