| Abstract |
The report summarizes results of a study of the frequency of leak occurrence in the synthetic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI). The frequency of occurrence of fugitive emissions was determined by instrumental screening, defined as measurement of the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as close as possible to the point of suspected leakage (e.g., the valve stem, pump seal). The screening value is the maximum repeatable VOC concentration detected for any given source expressed in parts per million by volume (ppmv). A total of 24 process units in the SOCMI were tested. The frequency of fugitive emissions sources with screening values equal to or greater than 10,000 ppmv was tabulated for all units combined, for each type of chemical process, and for each process unit. |
