- Abstract
This article discusses the method of sampling, analysis and fugitive emission estimation of volatile organic compound in and around different process units, tanks, truck loading, gantry area and treatment plants in a refinery. The volatile organic carbon emission factor for this refinery works out to be 0.46 kilograms of crude processed which is less than the World Bank guidelines of volatile organic carbon emission. Major emission sources are storage tanks, effluent treatment plants, crude separation processes, light hydrocarbon processing units. These units are to be monitored for Leak Detection and Repair program for reducing the volatile organic carbon as well as hydrocarbon losses.
