Some Aspects about the Using of a Software Product in the Assessment of the Pollutant Emissions to the Oil and Gas Industry

Abstract:

This paper presents some methods used in the study of pollutant emission and immission (limited to gaseous petroleum products), grouped into a software application PDA V 1.04 (Pollutants Dispersion Assessment). It includes: the calculus of the exhaust of pipelines / pressure chambers, specifying the time of discharge; dimensioning of the exhaust stacks for gaseous petroleum products; dimensioning of the flares, including thermal calculation; the calculus of dispersion of pollutants, specifying the immission value at ground level. It was designed especially for the training activity of undergraduates from the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti (PGUP) Romania with other e-learning and didactic applications, but can be used also, in the field applications
