Over the last decade, there has been a trend to reduce benzene emissions from glycol dehydrators in the Upstream Oil & Gas sector. In Alberta, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) introduced a directive to further encourage emissions reductions; non-compliance with ERCB directives could potentially result in suspension of operations. Specific documentation and graphs are required which can potentially identify operational improvements that will result in lower benzene emissions. In addition, capital modifications and process alternatives may also potentially result in vastly reduced benzene emissions.
