“…The recovery methods require considerable energy consumption and incineration by-product (CO2) . Suppression techniques aim at providing a barrier against VOCs by the use of gelling material foam (Corino and Canevari, 1972), polyurethane type foam (Sani and Mohanty, 2008), thin film of surface-active materials (Canevari and Cooper, 1974), aqueous foam (Gautam and Mohanty, 2004) and clay nanoparticle embedded aqueous foam Sani et al, 2012). Thus, the intended foam must have a high persistency over time, a low permeability towards VOCs, a desirable fluidity and acceptable flexibility to move (Gautam and Mohanty, 2004).…”

“…The CVE recovery system, reabsorption unit, re-condensation plant and collecting pipeline system (for Sequential Transfer Tank Atmospheres, STTA) were considered methods of their study for controlling CVEs in storage and shuttle tankers (Martens et al, 2001). The efficiency of an aqueous foam to control CVEs was evaluated by Gautam et al (Gautam and Mohanty, 2004) which was followed by further developments were also tested using incorporated nano-clay Sani et al, 2012). Tamddoni et al (2014) provided an efficient absorption strategy of VOC recovery with referencing to their experimental and numerical studies (Tamaddoni et al, 2014).…”

Airborne Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to have strong and adverse impacts on human health and the environment by contributing to the formation of tropospheric ozone.VOCs can escape during various stages of crude oil processing, from extraction to refinery, hence the crude oil industry is recognised as one of the major sources of VOC release into the environment. In the last few decades, volatile emissions from crude oil have been investigated either directly by means of laboratory and field-based analyses, or indirectly via emission inventories (EIs) which have been used to develop regulatory and controlling measures in the petroleum industry. There is a vast amount of scattered data in the literature for both regional emissions from crude oil processing and scientific measurements of VOC releases. This paper aims to provide a critical analysis of the overall scale of global emissions of VOCs from all stages of oil processing based on data reported in the literature. The volatile compounds, identified via EIs of the crude oil industry or through direct emissions from oil mass, are collected and analysed to present a global-scale evaluation of type, average concentration and detection frequency of the most prevalent VOCs. We provide a critical analysis on the total averages of VOCs and key pieces of evidence which highlights the necessity of implementing control measures to regulate crude oil volatile emissions (CVEs) in primary steps of extractionto-refinery pathways of crude oil processing. We have identified knowledge gaps in this field which are of importance to control the release of VOCs from crude oil, independent of oil type, location, operating conditions and metrological parameters.

“…This parameter demonstrates how plausible it is to identify specific VOC emitted throughout the entire production chain: production, processing, transportation, and storage of crude oil. The second parameter (total average VOC) shows the ratio of the amount of each VOC detected to the total amount found in each study 30,43,45,50–62,68 . This parameter describes the likely concentration of each compound released from crude oil into the atmosphere and amplifies the impact of each compound on the ecosystem.…”

“…In this case, the oil and gas industry is one of the main sources of VOCs polluting the ecosystem 51 . VOC emission control measures such as vapor recovery systems, emission control systems, sequential biofiltration, polyurethane foam gelling material, thin films of surfactants, water foam, and water foam embedded in clay nanoparticles are used in the transportation and loading of crude oil from offshore loading ports 10,52 .

The impact of emissions from the fuel and energy sectors adversely affects the environment on the economies of countries. One of these pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to the formation of tropospheric ozone. Emissions of hydrocarbon formation in the form of VOCs occur in four stages of the fuel and energy industry sector: (1) production, (2) processing, (3) transportation, and (4) storage. The oil and gas industry ranks among the top polluting industries in terms of VOC emissions. Research on the negative impact of VOCs, as well as CO2 emissions from the consequences of the extraction, processing, transport, and storage of oil and gas on the ecosystem of the planet and the population, has begun to be studied by science recently. Typically, these studies were conducted using laboratory and field analyses, as well as using data on anthropogenic emissions in the development of regulatory documents and requirements governing the control of VOC and CO2 emissions in the oil and gas industry. This paper presents a critical analysis of the literature on research on the negative effects of VOC emissions on the ecosystem and human health because of such factors as production, processing, transportation, and storage of hydrocarbons. This analysis shows the global magnitude of VOC emissions. Data from human‐made emissions from the oil and gas industry and direct emissions from transportation and energy processing were used to figure out how VOCs affect the environment around the world and how far they spread. In conclusion, this study found patterns of VOC emissions that show how important it is to control VOCs during the production, processing, transportation, and storage of oil and gas, as well as how important it is to create a single research base on emissions for each industry sector and on sources of greenhouse gas absorption.
