43、lling of a Cargo Vessel with Crude Oil1 Scope1.1 ApplicabilityThis method applies to the measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOC) as total gaseous nonmethane organics (TGNMO), methane and ethane from the airvapor mixture that is expelled during filling of a cargo vessel with crude oil. This p

44、rotocol utilizes a modified version of U.S. EPA Federal Reference Method 25 (FRM 25) entitled: “Determination of Total Gaseous Nonmethane Organic Emissions as Carbon.” Annex A contains an abridged and modified version of FRM 25 to meet specific project quality objectives (PQOs).While the field testi

45、ng in support of this protocol (see Annex B, Annex C, and Annex D) was performed only for the loading of crude oil into barges, the method could be suitable for loading of any volatile organic liquid into any type of vessel or compartment from which vapors are exhausted through a single vent opening

46、 where the field sampling can take place.The objective of this field testing protocol is to provide standardized testing methodology for quantifying TGNMO, methane and ethane emissions in the airvapor mixture that is expelled from cargo compartments during filling with crude oil.The characteristics

47、and composition of the airvapor mixture expelled from a cargo vessel into the atmosphere during filling with crude oil is dependent upon the characteristics of the crude oil, including such variables as volatility, temperature, etc. The changing characteristics of the exhausted airvapor mixture can

48、affect the application of FRM 25 in quantifying the concentration of TGNMO, methane, and ethane in the airvapor mixture. This field testing protocol provides guidance on utilizing various configurations of FRM 25 in the characterization process. They are: Time-Integrated Sampling: The traditional FR

49、M 25 sampling train configuration is used but modified by adding a water condensate trap in front of the volatile organic compound (VOC) condensate trap to drop out the water content found in the airvapor mixture. The water condensate trap prevents freezing of the VOC condensate trap by the water molecules which would lead to reduced gas flow through the sampling system. Instantaneous Sample: In this configuration, the FRM 25 condensate trap(s) i.e. water and VOC traps are removed from the sampling train and instantaneous samples of the airvapor mixture are acquired period
