Control VOC emissions. J.H. Siegell. Hydrocarbon Processing, August 1995, 74(8), 77--80.

Cost-effective methods for reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) are described. Objectives are to reduce perceived exposure risks and to prevent potential ozone-producing reactions. The largest source of VOC emissions from processing plants is due to fugitive equipment leaks from pump seals and control valves, but significant emissions also occur during loading and transfer operations, wastewater treatment units, and tank storage facilities. Suggestions are made for reducing VOC emissions from each of these operational procedures. Methods for reducing capital costs and for improving emission controls are discussed. 4 refs.
