“…The estimated daily emission factors for MSB and gasoline (barge only) are significantly lower than the emission factors suggested by the EPA for crude oil and gasoline, but it would provide good reference for VOC emissions under the colder climate like Canada. Production, storage and transport of crude oil and gasoline produce emissions of VOCs (DeLuchi, 1993). The main sources of VOC emissions at oil terminals are from storage tanks and tanker operations including loading/unloading and transit operations of the oil tankers (Tamaddoni, Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Nario, Hajihosseinzadeh, & Mostoufi, 2014). During loading, gases in the oil tank saturated with VOCs are displaced by incoming petroleum (US EPA, 2008).…”

The emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from petroleum product tankers potentially represent a significant source of VOCs in port cities. Emission factors are used to estimate the produced VOCs. VOC emissions from transit operations were simulated using a two part model of heat and mass transfer. Using local meteorological data of air temperatures, solar radiation and wind speed, the heat transfer within the tank was modeled. Results showed that bulk cargo temperature remained relatively steady at 25-28°C, the oil surface oscillated diurnally by 1-2°C, and the deck temperature oscillates diurnally by 15-20°C. The solar insolation had the largest effect on the tank temperatures. VOC emissions for two crude oils and gasoline, two tank configurations, and two meteorological conditions were estimated using a model derived from a mass balance on the tank and the obtained temperature profile. Only 3 of 8 scenarios had pressure increases large enough to cause venting of VOC. C2-C5 compounds constituted the majority of VOCs released from crude oils and ethanol made up the majority of the VOCs released from the gasoline carrying barge. The calculated daily emission factors for crude oil and gasoline (barge) were 10 mg/L/day and 135 mg/L/day respectively.

“…In recent years, the emissions of VOCs have been rigorously regulated across the globe. For example, "in the air quality standards developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) the maximum 3-hour concentration of 0.24 parts per million (ppm) hydrocarbon content should not be exceeded for a period of more than a year" [6,7]. The Gothenburg protocol also states that by 2020 the European Union (EU) countries agree to curb VOC emission levels by nearly 50% compared to the year 2000 [5].…”

Platinum-alumina (Pt/γ-Al2O3) catalytic membranes were obtained using the reservoir technique for the combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDXA) observation, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurement and gas permeation. Propane (C3H8) and n-butane (C4H10) combustion was obtained. Maximum VOC conversion for propane and n-butane of 93 and 48 (%) was achieved on 3.52wt% Pt catalyst at a temperature of 427 and 259 (0 C) and flow rates of between 185-222 and 295-379 (ml/min) without any changes in conversion. The combustion results of C3H8 and C4H10 corroborate with literature on Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The conversion was achieved using flow-through catalytic membrane reactor operating in the Knudsen flow regime.

“…VOC emissions have been strictly regulated in different countries around the globe. For example, in the air quality standards developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) the maximum 3-h concentration of 1.6 × 10 −4 kg/m 3 (0.24 ppm) hydrocarbon content should not be exceeded for a period of more than a year [2,3]. However, reduction of VOC emissions that exceed the current national air quality standard for ozone of 0.12 ppm is mandated under Title I of the US Clean Air Act Amendment (USCAAA) of 1990.…”
