The selection of flue gas emission types in the analysis of atmospheric environmental risk impact of oil storage depots
The study analyzes the type of flue gas emissions and,in conjunction with actual cases,predicts the dispersion of secondary/by-product pollutants CO and SO2 generated from the combus-tion of roof and liquid pool of crude oil storage tanks under the consideration of flue gas lift height and the most unfavorable meteorological conditions.The results indicate that the calculations using the neutral buoyancy gas+manual calculation of flue gas lifting height model are more unfavorable than those using the buoyant plume dispersion model,providing new insights for environmental risk impact assessments of oil storage depots.The findings of this study will assist oil storage operators,environ-mental protection agencies,and stakeholders in adopting more scientific and effective measures in risk management and emergency response to ensure the safe operation of oil storage facilities and to minimize potential impacts on the environment and human health.
