19、PI/PETRO PUBL 4b77-ENGL 1993 E 0732290 ObL5L90 TbT PREFACE The results of this study are presented in three separate reports. 0 Volume I entitled Fugitive Emission Factors for Refinery Process Drains“ (API Publication Number 4677) contains simplified emission factors that can be used to quickly esti
20、mate total volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from refinery process drains. 0 Volume II entitled “Fundamentals of Fugitive Emissions from Refinery Process Drains (API Publication Number 4678) describes theoretical concepts and equations that may be used in a model (APIDRAIN) to estimate speci
21、ated VOC emissions. The model can provide insight on. how to change process drain variables (flow rate, temperature, etc.) to reduce emissions. 0 Volume 111 entitled “APIDRAIN Version 7.0, Process Drain Emission Calcuhtor“ (API Publication Number 4681) is the computer model with users guide to estim
22、ate emissions from refinery process drains. The software allows users to calculate VOC emissions based on the emission factors in Volume I and equations for speciated emissions in Volume II. All three volumes of this study can be purchased separately; however, it is suggested that the user consider
23、purchase of the entire set to gain a complete understanding of fugitive emissions from refinery process drains. STD.API/PETRO PUBL 4b77-ENGL 1999 I 0732290 ObL5L91 9Tb I ABSTRACT Fugitive emissions are estimated using USEPAs emission factors from the publication known as AP-42. The factor for refine
24、ry process drains was first developed in 1979. Drain modifications and sewer system improvements have reduced emissions, with the result that the AP-42 emission factor may overestimate drain emissions. The refinery process drain emission factor has also been applied to non-process drains, with the r
25、esult that drain emissions are now a significant component of refinery emissions. This work was undertaken to address these concerns. Laboratory- and pilot-scale drain systems were constructed and tests were conducted to develop emission factors and to evaluate the mechanics of emissions from active
26、, trapped process drains. A model was developed to estimate emissions from process drains. STD=API/PETRO PUBL 4677-ENGL I 0732290 0615192 832 II Table of Contents Page EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-I 1 .

45、RO PUBL 4b77-ENGL L999 H 0732290 ObL5Lb 488 I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This investigation was initiated by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to update the AP-42 emission factor for refinery process drains, which may overestimate refinery process drain fugitive emissions. Changes in refinery process dr
46、ains have been implemented in response to United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulations, including benzene waste operations National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Subpart QQQ. Sealed drains have led to lower r
47、efinery process drain emission conditions, compared with conditions when the AP-42 emission factor was developed. The results of this study indicate that the AP-42 emission factor for refinery process drains should be modified. The work reported in this report is the second phase of an effort to dev
48、elop new emission factors to improve the estimate of drain emissions. This report presents new emission factors based on the flow and loadings into laboratory- and pilot-scale process drains. The emission factors require a knowledge of the concentrations of various constituents in the process wastew
49、ater discharged to the refinery drains. Specific project activities are summarized below. Protocols for field bagging and measuring drain emissions were tested. Results indicated that vacuum and blow-through bagging protocols give the same results. For the least volatile constituents, emissions were statistically greater for a drain with no bag than for a drain enclosed by a bag. A series of emission factor tables were developed, which are more appropriate for estimating drain emissions than using a single emission factor. The emission factor tables require a knowledge of the volatil
