VOC Recovery in Onshore and Offshore Marine Loading of Crude Oil

Presented at Joint GPA Europe / GPA GCC Annual Conference held in Athens, 21 - 23 September 2016 by
Grant Johnson (Autyhors: Wil Lee, Mike Dodd, and Grant Johnson, Costain)
Abstract:
Vapour emissions during loading of crude oil ships contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which react to form ozone and smog, and include components which can be harmful to health.
Facilities to reduce VOC emissions are providing major environmental benefits where driven by emissions standards and legislation. Ability to recover VOCs into the crude oil or as fuel also provides an economic benefit, and price of oil potentially impacts technology selection. Viable technical options are discussed with reference to a large European VOC recovery installation.
Reduction in VOC emissions from onshore loading jetties is well understood. Nearshore loading of oil from mooring buoys and other offshore structures is also common. The challenges and potential solutions to reducing emissions affecting populations local to these facilities are also described.
