VAPOR RECOVERY UNITS AT
GASOLINE DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES By Dinesh C. Patel Principal Env. Engineer CFO, Air Enforcement
Slide2
OZONE
NOX + VOC + SUNLIGHT = OzoneTropospheric Ozone affects ecosystemAttacks cells and tissueInterferes with vegetationTriggers human health problemsGasoline Vapors – over 150 chemicals
Benzene - causes lungs irritation , depress the central nervous systemTotal VOC Emissions without any control16,028,105 lbs / yr
Slide3PROTECTING THE AIR WE BREATH
The Federal Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 Control of VOC emissions top priority Largest contributor- distribution & marketing of gasolineGasoline – 100’s of chemicals, some are dangerous to human healthVOC – raw material for smog (Ozone)
Slide4GASOLINE SUPPLY CHAIN
Producing at refineryImporting via barge, rail or pipelineBulk terminal storage and blendingTransporting via truck to retail locationsFueling vehicles at retail locationsAnnual throughput of gasoline
131 Billions Gallons in 2011
Slide5GASOLINE CONSUMPTION
254 million vehicles 131 billion gallons in 2011 360 million gallons/day 162,000 retail gasoline outlets 2/3 of transportation fuel 18% of total energy consumption
Slide6CONTROLLING GASOLINE EMISSIONS
VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEMS:Stage 1 : Capture vapors during transfer at marine terminals, truck loading racks, bulk terminals and at retail gas stationsStage 2: Capture vapors during fueling vehicles at retail gas stationsTotal Emissions Without any control in US = 16,028,105 lbs/
yrTotal Emissions with Stage I Vapor Recovery = 8,655,177 lbs/yrTotal Emissions with Stage II Vapor Recovery = 9,616,863 lbs/yrTotal Emissions with Stage I & II Vapor Recovery = 2,243,943 lbs/yr
Slide7VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM
Slide8As Compared to
Other Vapor Recovery TechnologiesWorldwide acceptance as standard for evaporative hydrocarbon vapor controlOperates at near ambient pressure and temperatureNo vapor holder, no refrigerationEasy to operate and maintainElectricity is the only required utilityProven reliability for highest emission control efficiencyLow capital and operating costs
