| Abstract |
Cooling towers in petroleum refineries are a source of hydrocarbon emissions to the atmosphere when the cooling water acquires hydrocarbons in leaking heat exchangers and releases them when passing through the tower. A sampling procedure and an analytical method were developed to measure the hydrocarbon concentration of the water before and after its pass through the cooling tower. Tests revealed that of the 93 cooling towers operating in Los Angeles County, 17 showed detectable emissions totaling about three tons of hydrocarbons per day. |
