Description

Fugitive emissions are estimated using USEPAs emission factors from the publication known as AP-42. The factor for refinery 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 result 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, trapped process drains. A model was developed to estimate emissions from process drains.
