ABSTRACT
There are many areas of the
chemical industry that are responsible for the release of pollutants into the
environment. Petroleum refining is one such industry that has seen inadvertent
spillage of unrefined petroleum and petroleum products.
Since the beginning of the environmental movement in the 1960s,
the continuing question relates to the relative condition of the environment.
The capacity of the environment to
absorb the air emissions and waste products as well as the other impacts of
process technologies is limited. The petroleum refining industry is keeping
pace with environmental legislation to ensure that air emissions, effluents,
and waste products are handled without maximum expediency and without
environmental disruption. In fact, expenditures by the refining industry have
risen remarkable over a very short period that speaks for industry’s efforts
to protect the environment. Although dramatic improvements have been made in
pollution control by the industry, there is work to be done. Perhaps the
place most in need of further work is an understanding the nature of the
waste materials; and to understand these materials, strong analytical
programs
are necessary.
Time is showing that environmental analysts and the
various test methods are no longer a mere ancillary adjunct associate to any
environmental program. The analyst is a necessary part of any effort to meet
the environmental challenges. Thus, the intent of this book is to focus on
the analytical issues that become the focus of any environmental monitoring
or cleanup program for petroleum refineries. Even though the prime focus is on
refining operations, many of the principles and test methods can also be applied
to the release of petroleum during recovery operations and transport as well
as to the release of petroleum products during storage, transport, and
utilization.
The book will serve as a reference for
analysts in detailing the steps required to identify petroleum and petroleum
products (although more detailed texts are available for this purpose) and
those test methods that should be applied for monitoring and cleanup of
petroleum and petroleum products. As such, the book offers a ready guide to
the many issues that are related to ecosystems as well as to pollutant
mitigation and cleanup.
To accomplish this goal, the book
focuses on the various aspects of environmental science and engineering as
applied to the petroleum refining industry.
Part I presents an introduction
to, and a description of, the nomenclature used by refiners and by
environmental scientists and engineers. This part includes a description of
petroleum, petroleum refining, and petroleum products.
Part II includes a discussion
of the relevant environmental regulations in the United States and
descriptions of the various refining processes and the emissions from these
processes. Examples are given of the application of environmental regulations
to petroleum refining and petroleum products as well as current and proposed
methods of the mitigation of environmental effects and waste management.
Additional chapters cover the methods of analysis that might be used for
samples recovered from the environment and for typical petroleum products, and
how these analyses might be used to predict potential effects on the
environment.
