Testing VOC Evaporation Losses from Floating Roof Tank Turnovers
Air emissions from floating roof tanks have been well characterized and documented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The estimation methods have been revised and updated throughout the years. However, an unusual aspect of air emissions from tanks with a floating roof during a tank turnover has not been addressed. Petroleum storage tank floating roofs are landed on tank legs and ...

The problem (and solution) of vent gases from hydrocarbon and chemical storage tanks
The problem (and solution) of vent gases from hydrocarbon and chemical storage tanks. During chemical products and hydrocarbon bulk liquid storage (the so-called tank breathing), product loading and unloading, transport, cleaning and inerting of tanks, pollutant emissions are emitted into the atmosphere. These emissions are mostly emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and must must be ...

Controlling Fugitive Emissions, Part 1: Close Capture Hooding
Fugitive emissions, in their simplest form, are the uncontrolled release of gases to the atmosphere. Each one of us may contribute fugitive emissions when we fill our automobile gas tanks. The displacement of air inside the gas tank causes gasoline vapor emissions (hydrocarbons) to exit out the fill spout (un-controlled) to the atmosphere. Some states require the use of "Vapor Recovery" nozzles ...

Water Use in the Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry, like all water-intensive industries, is moving toward water efficiency in the face of growing global water scarcity. The industry relies on water for a wide range of uses, such as fabrication processes, component washing, production-line cooling, and robotic waterjet cutting. The quality of water required in the industry also covers a wide range, from ultrapure ...

Primary settling tanks covering to prevent odors emission - Case Study
Primary settling tanks covering to prevent odors emission at the Cambrils Waste Water Treatment Plant The Catalan Water Agency (ACA) commissioned a project aiming to minimize odor emission from a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Cambrils (Tarragona) that suffered from bothersome smells coming from the primary settling tanks. Occasionally, these emissions ended up into neighborhood ...

Liquid waste off-gas treatment - Case Study
Application Biffa Waste Services operate a major waste disposal site at Kilsyth in Scotland where they handle many types of industrial liquid effluent. This can give rise to a range of emissions from both the tank farm and the road tanker deliveries. In addition, significant NO2 and nitric acid fume releases can arise from process upset conditions. ERG provided an emergency NO2 scrubber as part ...

Case Study: Cost-effective odor control
The aromas from savory flavors are detectable even at low concentrations, and pose special challenges for companies who manufacture or use them. Mastertaste, a Division of Kerry Group plc, is a leader in the development and production of savory flavors and blended seasonings. As part of a plant expansion, Mastertaste needed a system to eliminate odors from savory notes and essential oils to a ...

Effect of carbon sources on nitrous oxide emission in a modified Ludzak Ettinger process
Effect of methanol and glycerol on nitrous oxide (N2O) emission in two laboratory-scale modified Ludzak Ettinger (MLE) processes was investigated during three distinct periods: dissolved oxygen (DO) control by intermittent aeration with a DO controller, and high and low aeration rates. N2O consumption rate in an anoxic tank and aeration mode influenced N2O emission rates from the MLE processes. ...

The response of nitrous oxide emissions to different operating conditions in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants in Southeastern Brazil
The continuous measurements of N2O emissions from the aeration tanks of three activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operated with biological nitrogen removal (BNR) and non-BNR were performed during the different operating conditions of several parameters, such as aeration, dissolved oxygen (DO) profiling and organic shock loading (with landfill leachate). The nitrification ...

Reducing Oil & Gas Methane Emissions: EPA Regulations & Data Collection
U.S. President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently committed to very specific targets in the oil and gas sector. Their ambitious goal is to reduce methane emissions by 40-45 percent below 2012 levels by 2025. This target was reaffirmed on June 30 when Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto joined the commitment. The U.S. has already begun acting on these ...
