Description:

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency and individual states continually implement rules to control emissions during routine operation of petrochemical plants. The operating permits issued to the manufacturing facilities not only regulate ‘fugitive’ and ‘point source’ emissions during operation, but also impose stringent controls on the emissions during startup and commissioning. In addition, todays public is more environmentally aware than ever before. Recent national surveys have shown that nearly 75% of the general public places a high priority on clean environment and over 65% of the people believe that the major responsibility for this lies with the business community, specifically petrochemical industry, which most people believe is not doing enough to clean the environment. Therefore, to comply with federal and state laws and be a “good neighbor” plant operators are continually looking for ways to reduce the emissions from chemical plants. Since the startup of any plant entails conditions which may result in increased emissions and flaring, more noticeable by general public, it is desirable to reduce the duration of the startup/upset conditions which would in turn eliminate or minimize flaring.
