Notes:
Handling and removal of vapors generated on storage and loading of inflammable liquids. On storage and loading of liquid mineral oil products of high vapor pressure - e.g. gasoline and aromatic hydrocarbons - significant quantities of hydrocarbons will be lost. Mixtures with air can be inflammable. The limits of flammability of the three-component mixture of burning gas, oxidizer, and inert gas can be described in a diagram. The occurrence of inflammable mixtures in recovery and combustion plants can be reduced by appropriate measures. The hydrocarbon content in waste gases of recovery plants can be reduced to few grams per cubic meter. The limits for emissions defined in the „Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft“ (TA Luft) generally can only reached by thermal oxidation. Two plants are presented, in which vapors of mineral oil products are handled and combusted.
