Atmospheric Concentration Saturated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons Around Dura Refinery

Abstract

The process of oil reproducing in the refinery considered as one of the largest industrial facilities responsible for the emission of many pollutants into the air and works to pollute the air surrounding the refinery. Hydrocarbons are among the most important pollutants emitted into the air from oil recycling operations and should be studied to reduce the proportions of hazardous pollutants. As the pollution caused by the burning of fuel in the chimneys of the refinery Dora is a dangerous contaminant to the environment, where the exposure of substances and pollutants that lead to disruption of the balance of the natural elements of the atmosphere and thus harmful to human and sustainability. The aim of this study is to study the concentration of hydrocarbon contaminants that cause air pollution caused by stacks of fireplaces in Doura refinery. The rates of the most dangerous contaminants on the human respiratory system, which cause dry cough, bronchitis, chest pain and shortness of breath, were studied as a study of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxides. In this research, a large number of analyzes, tests and certification were carried out on periodic tests provided by the Doura refinery after repeated field visits to examine concentrations of contaminants present in the atmosphere. Where the maximum distance of pollutant concentration from the source was found, as well as a comprehensive study of an integrated set of weather conditions such as wind speed and climate effects to preserve and sustain the environment.

Temporal Variations in Urban Air Pollution during a 2021 Field Campaign: A Case Study of Ethylene, Benzene, Toluene, and Ozone Levels in Southern Romania

“…An essential group of pollutants that requires particular consideration consists of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), compounds that can be involved in the generation of secondary pollutants like ozone (O 3 ) or secondary organic aerosol (SOA) [3,4]. VOCs encompass a diverse array of chemical substances [5,6], with specific emphasis placed on benzene, toluene, and ethylene. It is imperative to address this notable category of pollutants because of its contribution to the production of secondary pollutants like O 3 [3,4].…”

Estimating gaseous pollutants in the air near Daura Refinery, Daura Power Plant and South of Baghdad Power Plant by calculating the fuel discharge

“…Two of them (DR and BSPP) was established in 1950s, while DPP was established in 1981. In 1950s, these facilities where outside the city and no houses in around (Murtadah, Al-Sharify & Hasan, 2020). However, nowadays, these facilities are surrounded by inhabited cities, which are affected by the pollution of undesired gases.…”

“…However, nowadays, these facilities are surrounded by inhabited cities, which are affected by the pollution of undesired gases. Therefore, the Iraqi committee of health and environment in the Iraqi parliament called for a decision to transfer DR to another place according to environmental and international regulations (Murtadah et al, 2020). However, due to the economic difficulties the country is going through, this option is no longer on the table now.…”
