Quantification of Fugitive Emissions for Proposed Chemical Plants

Occupational health concerns with the two-way relationship between work and health. Previously, occupational health and safety was treated as a single subject by industries. However, most often higher attention was paid on process safety rather than occupational health aspect. Unlike process safety that primarily deals with major and short-term events, occupational health concerns with continuo...

Application of SpectraScan tunable diode laser instruments to fugitive emissions

The advantages of lasers over broad-band light sources for spectroscopic measurements have long been recognized. Laser techniques offer the ability to measure the concentrations of trace species in a gas stream in `̀ real time'' with sensitivity and molecular selectivity not possible with broad band spectroscopic techniques. Until recently, the use of laser-based instruments has been largely lim...

Direct measurement of fugitive emissions of hydrocarbons from a refinery.

Refineries are a source of emissions of volatile hydrocarbons that contribute to the formation of smog and ozone. Fugitive emissions of hydrocarbons are difficult to measure and quantify. Currently these emissions are estimated based on standard emission factors for the type and use of equipment installed. Differential absorption light detection and ranging (DIAL) can remotely measure concentra...
