Description

The American Petroleum Institute (AFT) commissioned two manuals to be prepared, providing options and recommendations on procedures for obtaining inspection and maintenance (UM) data from certain process equipment with the potential to leak “fugitive emissions.” These manuals are designed to provide assistance to those who collect fugitive data, ensure regulatory compliance, and calculate emissions associated with these fugitive emissions. The manuals are focused on the recommended fugitive emission practices in the petroleum industry, specifically for refineries, petroleum marketing terminals, and the oil and gas production industries.

This second volume is entitled Fugitive Emissions from Equipment Leaks II: Calculation Procedures for Petroleum Industry Facilities. This manual is designed primarily for those who perform the emission calculations associated with fugitive emissions. This manual also discusses equipment categories, provides an overview of available emission estimation approaches, provides sample calculations for different calculation methods, discusses issues that affect the determination of fugitive emissions, and addresses data management.

The first volume, Fugitive Emissions from Equipment Leaks I: Monitoring Manual (API Publ. 342), is designed primarily for those who manage or apply fugitive emission I/M programs at a facility. It discusses the compilation of a component inventory, describes monitoring equipment that meet specifications identified in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (US. EPA) Method 21, describes quality control practices, explains the screening procedures, and addresses alternative measurement methods.
