Abstract

To evaluate the accuracy of fugitive emission estimates for petroleum marketing terminals, a study was designed to determine average emission factors and fugitive emission correlation equations for components in light liquid and gas vapor services. Four marketing terminals were tested and the results of the study are presented in this report. See also, appendices to this document Publ 45881.
