Abstract

To combat air pollution and safety hazards caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of dynamic and static sealing point of equipment in petroleum refinery industry. This paper, firstly, builds the five-part procedures based on leak detection and repair (LDAR) for VOCs treatment and assessment, which is applied to the atmospheric-vacuum distillation unit with 11746 sealing points for the first time. The detection result shows that there are 43 leak points among the sealing points. Then the emission quantity is calculated and statistically analyzed according to different detection value and seal types. In addition, by analyzing the leakage causes and taking corresponding repair measures, all the leak points are effectively repaired according to the re-inspection result. Finally, with the evaluating of emission quantity before and after repair for the unit, the effects of detection and control for leakage are obvious, which effectively reduce the air pollution.
