Air Pollution Control and Modeling in Petrochemical Industry

Introduction

Since individual refineries and petrochemical facilities are uniquely configured, the techniques, which comprise a collection of operational, equipment and procedural actions, may not be applicable to every site. To better understand emission impacts, both ambient air quality monitoring and modeling is used. Dispersion modeling is sometimes conducted on specific emission sources to evaluate off-site potential concentrations.

Objectives

    To assist delegates:

    • in addressing the implications of International Environmental Protocols
    • in reviewing their air emission and waste disposal practice in the context of growing environmental awareness
    • in obtaining performance improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system
    • in forecasting emissions scenarios and developing specific control performance and good practices
    • in auditing an inventory and computer and other air emission modeling
    • by providing options for delegates in developing their organization’s air and waste management practice
    • in planning and conducting an environmental impact analysis of their organization

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”

Who Should Attend?

  • Health, Safety and Environmental professionals;
  • Staff responsible for setting up Air and Waste Management Systems;
  • Staff wishing to reduce risk and liability for their organization through sound air emission management practices, principles and procedures.
