Theoretical Losses On Ugt
Theoretical Losses On Ugt
GASOLINE STATIONS)
Gasoline is a mixture of volatile organic compounds, mostly hydrocarbons that can freely
evaporate at ambient temperatures.
Sources of gasoline evaporative losses from retail outlets can be detailed as follows:
a.Working Losses in Storage Tank (Delivery & Fueling of Vehicles)
b.Breathing Losses – due to the release of gasoline vapor to the ambient air due to the
expansion and contraction of vapor inside and outside of the storage tank.
Since changes in temp.&press. are less pronounced for UGT due to the protective and
insulation effects of soil, breathing losses was not associated with UGTs.
c. Solar Radiation Losses – in case of UGTs, the effect of solar radiation was removed from
the calculation
d.Residual Losses – operations and activities that involve opening the lids of gasoline
storage tanks (minimal)
