Improving the Predictability of Petroleum Brownfield Restoration
It’s no secret that the United States has an aging infrastructure problem. The public’s attention is focused on the repair of roadways and bridges, but there is also an ongoing initiative to address the existing infrastructure of legacy underground storage tanks, abandoned gas stations and truck stops, that are designated petroleum brownfields. As of July 2021, approximately 21 ...

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 ...
