                          1.0   PURPOSE OF DOCUMENT

     The U. S. Environmental Protection  Agency  and  State and  local  air
pollution control agencies are becoming  increasingly  aware  of the presence
of substances in the ambient air that may  be  toxic  at certain
concentrations.  This awareness has  led  to an attempt to categorize air
toxics emissions by sources, such as  storage  tanks.
     To assist groups in  inventorying air  emissions of potentially  toxic
substances, EPA is preparing a series of documents  that compiles available
information on sources and emissions  of  these substances.   This document
deals with methods to estimate air toxics  emissions from organic liquid
storage tanks.  Its intended audience includes  Federal,  State, and  local
air pollution agency personnel and others  who are interested  in making
estimates of air toxics emissions from storage  tanks.
     This document informs the reader how  to  (1) characterize  storage
tanks, (2) select the appropriate storage  tank  loss equations  and
parameters for estimating emissions,  (3) calculate vapor pressures, mole
fractions, and molecular weights of mixtures, and (4)  estimate emissions
of individual air toxics.  The emphasis  of this document  is on presenting
equations for estimating air toxics emissions from storage tanks and
demonstrating through examples how to use the equations.
     The reader is cautioned against  using the emission estimates as an
exact assessment from any particular  source because of the limitations of
the estimating methods and the general lack of specific source
information.  If precise knowledge of emission levels is desired,  the user
is advised to measure emissions of air toxics from organic liquid  storage
tanks.
     The storage tank emission estimating equations are based  on equations
presented in AP-42, and the user is advised to consult AP-42 for addi-
tional details regarding the equations.3  This document expands
information presented in AP-42 to include methodology for estimating
emissions from mixtures stored in organic liquid storage tanks and revises
the methodology for estimating emissions from external floating roof
tanks.  The revised external  floating roof  tank  methodology  includes
procedures recently developed  by the American Petroleum Institute.17

                    2.0  OVERVIEW OF DOCUMENT  CONTENTS

     This section provides an overview of the  contents of this document.
It briefly outlines the nature of the material presented in the remaining
sections of this report.
     Section 3 provides brief descriptions of  different types of tanks and
control devices.  The sources of emissions that occur from each type of
storage tank are also described.
     Section 4 presents storage tank source category descriptions.
Storage tanks have been divided into usage source categories in order to
present common characteristics that are significant when estimating
emissions.  Some suggestions of how to locate  storage tanks are presented
in this section.
     Section 5 presents descriptions of the methods recommended to make
estimates of air toxic emissions from storage tanks.  The emission
estimating equations are presented along with explanations of their
appropriate use.  The selection of parameters and calculation of
properties are explained in this section.
     Section 6 presents the references  used in this document.
     Appendix A presents the physical  constants of organic compounds
commonly stored in tanks and tables  and figures of other data required  to
use the equations.  Appendix B presents four example calculations.   The
examples are intended to cover a wide  range of scenarios and  are  very
explicit.  Proper use of the equations  and  typical assumptions  are
included in the examples.

-------
                  3.0  STORAGE TANK BACKGROUND INFORMATION

     This section presents  descriptions  of  the five basic designs of
organic  liquid  storage  vessels:   fixed roof,  external  floating roof,
internal floating roof,  variable  vapor space,  and pressure (low and
high).   Also, the types  of  emissions from these tanks  are discussed.

3.1  FIXED ROOF TANKS

     A typical  fixed roof tank is  shown  in  Figure 1.   This type of tank
consists of a cylindrical steel shell with  a permanently affixed roof,
which may vary  in design from cone- or dome-shaped to  flat.
     The design of fixed roof tanks requires an opening  vent  to the
atmosphere to allow for displaced  air and vapors during  filling,
withdrawal, and expansion due to warming.   Opening vents are  commonly
equipped with pressure/vacuum devices that  allow the vessel to  operate  at
a slight internal pressure  or vacuum to prevent the release of  vapors
during very small changes in  temperature, pressure, or liquid level.  Of
current tank designs, the fixed roof tank is the least expensive to
construct and is generally  considered to be the  minimum  acceptable
equipment for storage of organic liquids.
     Two significant types  of emissions from fixed  roof  tanks are
breathing loss and working  loss.  Breathing loss  is the  expulsion of vapor
from a tank through vapor expansion and contraction, which result from
changes in temperature and  barometric pressure.  During  vapor contraction,
air is drawn into the tank  and becomes  saturated with organic vapor.  Upon
subsequent expansion of the vapor, the  saturated vapor is expelled from
the tank.  This loss occurs without any loading or withdrawal  of liquid
from the tank.   For insulated tanks, no factors exist currently to
estimated breathing losses.
     The combined loss from filling and emptying the tank is called
working loss.   Filling loss occurs when,  with an increase of the liquid
level  in the tank, the pressure inside  the tank exceeds the relief
pressure and vapors are expelled.   Emptying  loss occurs when air, drawn
into the tank  during liquid  removal and  saturated with  organic vapor, is

expelled as liquid  Is  subsequently  pumped  into  the tank,  thus exceeding
the capacity of the vapor space.  Fixed  roof  emissions vary as a function
of vessel capacity, vapor pressure  of  the  stored  liquid,  utilization rate
of the vessel, and  atmospheric  conditions  at  the  tank location.  Emissions
from fixed roof tanks  can be reduced by  constructing  internal floating
roofs or by using add-on control  devices such as  vapor recovery or thermal
oxidation.

3.2  EXTERNAL FLOATING ROOF TANKS

     External floating roof tanks are  cylindrical  vessels  that have a roof
that floats on the  surface of the liquid being  stored.  The basic
components of the tank include:   (1) a cylindrical  shell,  (2)  a floating
roof, (3) an annular rim seal attached to  the perimeter of the floating
roof, and (4) roof  fittings that  penetrate the  floating roof and serve
operational functions.  The purpose of the floating roof and the seal  (or
seal system) is to  reduce the evaporative  loss  of  the  stored liquid.
Floating roofs are  currently constructed of welded steel plates.  The
present trend in floating roof construction is  toward two  types  of
roofs:  pontoon and double deck.  Figure 2 shows typical external floating
roof tanks of both  types.  The liquid  surface is completely  covered by the
floating roof except at the small annular space between the  roof and the
tank wall.  A seal  (or seal  system)  attached to the roof contacts the tank
wall (with small  gaps, in some cases)  and covers the annular space.  The
seal slides against the tank wall as the roof is raised or lowered.
Floating roofs may have primary and secondary seals.  Three types of
primary seals are generally used—vapor mounted, liquid mounted, and
mechanical shoe.   Secondary seals are usually vapor mounted but may be
shoe  mounted.  External  floating roof tanks have numerous roof fittings
that pass through or are  attached to a floating  roof to allow for
operational  functions. The  most common roof fittings  which are sources of
evaporative losses include  access hatches,  guide pole  wells, guide
pole/sample wells, gauge  float  wells,  gauge hatches/sample wells, vacuum
breakers, roof drains, roof  legs, and  rim vents.  More information  on
these fittings can be  found  in  API's forthcoming Publication 2517.1?

-------
     Emissions from external  floating  roof tanks  are  the sum of standing
storage  loss  and withdrawal  loss.   The standing storage  loss can be
estimated as  the sum of rim  seal  loss  and  roof fitting  loss.  Rim seal
loss occurs from evaporation  of the liquid through  and past  the primary
and/or secondary seals.  Roof fitting  loss results  from  roof fittings that
require  openings in the floating  roof.   There is  no deck seam loss because
the decks have welded sections.   Withdrawal  loss  occurs  as the liquid that
clings to the tank wall is exposed  to  the  atmosphere  and vaporized when
the floating  roof is lowered  by withdrawal  of the stored liquid.   Although
relatively minor losses occur from  evaporation during withdrawal  of stored
liquid,  extremely frequent turnover of  liquid in  an external  floating roof
tank can increase the significance  of withdrawal  loss.

3.3  INTERNAL FLOATING ROOF TANKS

     An  internal floating roof tank  has  both a permanent fixed  roof and  an
internal floating deck.  Typical contact deck and noncontact deck  internal
floating roof tanks are shown in Figure  3.  The terms "deck" and  "floating
roof" can be  used interchangeably in reference to the structure floating
on the liquid inside the tank.  The purpose of the  internal deck  is  to
eliminate the "vapor space" in the  tank, thereby  limiting the amount  of
the stored liquid that evaporates and can be emitted.   The deck rises and
falls with the liquid level and either floats directly on the liquid
surface  (contact deck) or rests on pontoons several  inches above the
liquid surface (noncontact deck).   Two basic types of  internal floating
roof tanks are tanks in which the fixed roof is  supported by vertical
columns  within the tank and tanks  with a self-supported  fixed roof and no
internal support columns.   Fixed roof tanks that  have  been retrofitted to
employ a floating deck are typically of the first  type,  while external
floating roof tanks  that have been retrofitted to  employ  a floating deck
typically have a self-supported roof.  Tanks initially constructed with
both a fixed  roof and a floating deck may be of either type.
     Contact decks can be  aluminum panels with a honeycomb aluminum core
floating in contact  with the  liquid, or pan steel  decks floating in

 or  an  aluminum grid  framework  supported  above the liquid surface by
 tubular aluminum  pontoons  or other  buoyant  structures.   Both types of
 decks  incorporate rim  seals, which  slide against the tank wall  as the deck
 moves  up and  down.   Floating roofs  may have primary and  secondary seals.
 Three  types of primary seals are  generally  used:  vapor  mounted, liquid
 mounted, and  mechanical  shoe.   Secondary seals,  which are usually vapor
 mounted, are  used to further reduce emissions from internal  floating roof
 tanks.  In addition, these tanks  are freely vented by circulation vents
 both at the top of the fixed roof and at the top of the  shell.   The vents
 minimize the  possibility of organic vapor accumulation in concentrations
 approaching the flammable  range.  An internal  floating roof  tank not
 freely vented is  considered a  pressure tank.
     Losses from  internal  floating  roof  tanks  are the sum of withdrawal
 and standing  losses.   Withdrawal  losses  for internal  floating roof  tanks
 include vaporization of  liquid  that clings  to  the tank wall and  columns,
 if present in tanks with a column supported  fixed roof.   Standing storage
 losses include rim seal, deck  fitting, and  deck  seam  losses.  Rim seal
 losses include evaporative losses from the  seals.  Deck fitting  losses
 result from penetrations in the roof by deck fittings, fixed roof column
 supports, or  other openings.  Deck seam  losses occur when roofs  are
 bolted.  Welded roofs  have no seams and thus no seam  losses.  Emissions
 from internal  floating roof tanks may be reduced by using liquid mounted
 primary seals,  continuous  rim mounted secondary seals, welded decks,
 gasketted fittings, and flexible  fabric seals to cover pipe columns.

 3.4  VARIABLE VAPOR SPACE TANKS

     Variable vapor space tanks are  equipped with expandable reservoirs to
accommodate vapor volume fluctuations  attributable to temperature and
barometric pressure changes.   Although  variable vapor space tanks are
sometimes used independently,  they are  normally connected to the vapor
spaces of one or more fixed roof tanks.   The two most common types of
variable vapor space tanks  are  lifter roof tanks and flexible diaphragm
tanks.
                                    11

-------
     Lifter roof tanks have a telescoping roof that fits  loosely  around
the outside of the main tank wall.  The space between the roof  and  the
wall Is closed by either a wet seal, which is a trough filled with  liquid,
or a dry seal, which uses a flexible coated fabric.
     Flexible diaphragm tanks use flexible membranes to provide expandable
volume.  They may be either separate gasholder units or integral  units
mounted atop fixed roof tanks.
     Variable vapor space tank losses occur during tank filling when vapor
is displaced by liquid.  Loss of vapor occurs only when the tank's  vapor
storage capacity is exceeded.  Although an equation for estimating  losses
from variable vapor space tanks is available in AP-42, the accuracy of the
equation is not documented.  Losses estimated using this equation could
differ significantly from actual emissions.  Therefore, emissions from
variable space tanks are not discussed further in this document.

3.5  PRESSURE TANKS

     Two classes of pressure tanks are in general  use, low pressure (1.5
to 14.7 pslg) and high pressure (higher than 14.7 psig).   Pressure tanks
generally are used for storage of organic liquids and gases with high
vapor pressures and are found in many sizes and shapes,  depending on the
operating pressure of the tank.  Pressure tanks are equipped with a
pressure/vacuum vent that is set to prevent venting loss  from boiling and
breathing loss from daily temperature or barometric pressure changes.
High pressure storage tanks are usually operated  so that  virtually no
evaporative or working losses occur.   In low pressure tanks,  working
losses can occur with atmospheric venting of the  tank during  filling and
withdrawal operations.  Vapor recovery systems  are generally  used on low
pressure tanks to reduce working losses.  No appropriate  correlations are
available to estimate vapor losses from pressure  tanks.   Therefore,  this
document does not include any further discussion  of emissions from
pressure tanks.

                      4.0  SOURCE CATEGORY DESCRIPTION

     This  section  presents three Industrial  source categories that use
 storage tanks  and  have  the potential  to emit air toxics.   A brief
 description of each  source category and available tank  size and control
 device information are  also presented in  this section.  The U.  S.
 Environmental  Protection Agency  has published a  document  entitled "Toxic
 Air Pollutant/Source Crosswalk—A Screening  Tool  for  Locating Possible
 Sources Emitting Toxic  Air Substances" that  cross-references industrial
 SIC codes, SCC codes, and air toxics  for  a variety of processes,  including
 storage tanks."*  The reader is directed to that  document  to identify  which
 air toxics are known to be associated with a given industry.
     Organic liquids are stored  in above  ground  and below ground  storage
 tanks, both of which may be significant sources  of air toxics emissions.
 Underground storage  tanks are defined as  having  10 percent or more of
 their volume (including pipes) underground.   Losses from  underground
 storage tanks  (excluding losses  due to leaks  in  the tank  system)  result
 from filling and withdrawal operations.  An  estimated 1.4 million
 underground storage  tanks are located in the  United States.   Ninety  six
 percent of these tanks  are used  to store petroleum products and the
 remaining 4 percent  are used to  store large volumes of industrial
 chemicals such as  acetone, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene
 chloride, styrene, chloroform, methyl  isobutyl ketone, ethylene
 dichloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and ethylene oxide.5  Because the
 accuracy of equations for estimating emissions from underground storage
 tanks is not documented, emissions from those tanks are not discussed
 further 1n this document.
     Storage tanks can be divided into two groups based on type of stored
material:   industrial organic  chemicals and petroleum liquids.  The
majority of storage tanks are  located  onsite at manufacturing and
producing facilities.  Some tanks also are located at bulk terminals.   Of
the total  tank population,  approximately  56 percent are  estimated to  be
 located at petroleum refineries,  38 percent at organic chemical  industrial
facilities, and 6 percent at bulk terminals.6  Petroleum storage tanks
generally store multicomponent liquids whereas organic chemical  storage
                                    13

-------
tanks usually contain single component liquids.  The type of tank  used  to
store liquids is dependent primarily on the volume of  liquid to  be stored
annually and the vapor pressure of the liquid.  Other  factors that
influence the selection of the tank type include material stability,
safety hazards, and multiple use of tank for different liquids.  The
following subsections present information about industrial organic
chemical storage tanks, petroleum refineries, and bulk terminals storage
tanks.

4.1  INDUSTRIAL ORGANIC CHEMICAL STORAGE TANKS

     Most organic chemicals, with the exception of petroleum products,  are
stored as single component liquids in tanks.  It is assumed that the
composition of the liquids in these storage tanks is 100 percent of the
chemical.
     Organic chemical storage tanks are located primarily at chemical
producing and manufacturing facilities.  Some industrial  organic chemicals
are stored offsite at bulk terminals.  It is estimated that only a small
percentage of the total volume of industrial organic chemicals are stored
in tanks off site at bulk terminals. *   The majority of  emissions from
organic chemical storage tanks result from producers.   About one-quarter
of air toxic emissions from organic chemical storage tanks  result from
consumers.  The remainder of emissions from industrial  organic chemical
storage tanks originate from bulk terminal  tanks.
     The onsite tanks at organic chemical  production and  consumer
facilities are used to store raw materials,  final  products,  and/or usable
by-products as well as waste tars,  residues, and nonusable  products.  The
major producers of industrial  organic chemicals  have SIC  codes  286x.
Producers are located in all  areas  of the  U.S.,  with the  largest  plants
clustered in the Central  Southern States  near raw  material  supplies and  in
the Mid-Atlantic States close  to industries.
     Industrial  organic chemical  tanks located at  consuming  facilities are
generally associated with industries having  SIC  codes 28xx.  The  majority
of emissions from organic chemical  storage tanks located  at  consuming
facilities are estimated  to originate from the plastics industry.   Other
                                 14

-------
 consuming facilities  that  have  organic  chemical  storage tanks manufacture
 surface active agents,  Pharmaceuticals,  textiles,  nitrogen fertilizer,
 rubber and miscellaneous synthetics,  and treated wood.   The major types of
 chemicals stored by these  facilities  include dyes,  toners, creosote oil,
 rubber processing chemicals,  and plasticizers.   Storage tanks present at
 organic chemical consuming/manufacturing facilities are typically small,
 less than 40,000 gallons.  Facilities where chemicals are prepared for
 distribution generally  have tanks  less  than 20,000  gallons in size.7
 Industrial organic chemical consuming facilities are fairly evenly
 distributed across the  U.S. with some tendency to be located in  South
 Atlantic and Eastern  Central  States.
     The majority of  storage  tanks located at industrial  organic chemical
 production and manufacturing  facilities  are fixed roof  tanks.  Fixed roof
 tanks are used predominantly  for storing materials  with vapor pressures  of
 5 psia or less.  Although  fixed roofs are used more than  floating  roof
 tanks, volatile organic liquid storage tanks regulations  will  probably
 result in the increasing use  of floating roof tanks.
     Most fixed roof tanks and internal  floating roof tanks  store  liquids
 with vapor pressures  less  than 5 psia and have volumes  of  100,000  gallons
 or less.  External floating roofs are generally used to store  liquid
 volumes of 130,000 gallons or more.  The majority of industrial organic
 chemical tanks are small, with volumes of less than 20,000 gallons.
 However, the majority of emissions from storage tanks are estimated to
 originate from tanks with capacities  greater than 20,000 gallons and which
 store liquids with vapor pressures greater than 0.5 psia.7
     Horizontal  tanks are used widely in the Synthetic  Organic Chemical
Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI).   The  volumes of horizontal tanks  are
typically small  and rarely exceed 30,000 gallons.  Horizontal tanks are
preferred for separation processes.  These tanks  typically require add-on
control  systems  such as carbon adsorption or thermal oxidation.1*6
     Organic liquids with vapor  pressures greater than  11 psia are stored
in high  pressure  tanks or have a vapor recovery system.   High pressure
tanks generally are used to store  highly volatile and/or toxic materials.
                                    15

4.1.1  Chlorinated Solvents8'9
     Chlorinated solvents are stored at producing and consuming
facilities.  Some common chlorinated solvents are methylene  chloride,
carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene.
     The information presented for this subsection comes from the  source
assessment documents for two chlorinated solvents, methylene chloride  and
trichloroethylene.  The information in those documents was taken from  EPA
questionnaire responses.  Storage tank information was available for
facilities that produce the solvents and for facilities that use the
solvents as feedstocks in other processes.  The level of control required
for the storage tanks represented in these documents may change due to
future regulations.
     Almost all of the storage tanks represented in the source assessment
documents are fixed roof tanks.  The tanks ranged in size from 250 to
500,000 gallons with the average size in the range of 25,000 to
50,000 gallons.  In most cases, no control devices were used with the
tanks.  For the few cases where a control  device was used, the majority
were water-cooled condensers.
     Pressure vessels of less than 1,000 gallons were reportedly being
used to store chlorinated solvents in a few cases.   The only type of
storage tank other than fixed roof reported in  the  source assessment
documents was a contact internal  floating  roof  tank  of approximately
500,000 gallons with no control  device.

4.1.2  Nonchlorinated Solvents10'l1'12

     A variety of nonchlorinated  solvents  are stored  at manufacturing
facilities.  Most of these solvents  are  stored  in small fixed roof
tanks.  Some facilities use  control  devices; however,  most  small  tanks
(less than 20,000 gallons)  are not required to  have controls. This
subsection presents information  about two  industries,  polymeric coating
and magnetic tape manufacturing.
     Polymeric coating  facilities  store  solvents in small,  fixed  roof
tanks.  The solvents generally stored include toluene, dimethyl formamide,
                                16

-------
 acetone,  methyl  ethyl  ketone,  xylene,  isopropyl  alcohol, and ethyl
 acetate.   Toluene  is the most  commonly used solvent because it is
 relatively inexpensive.  Most  polymeric coating  facilities store single
 solvents  rather  than muHicomponent  solvents.  Each polymeric coating
 facility  usually has five or less  solvent  storage  tanks.  The tank
 capacity  typically ranges from 1,000 to 20,000 gallons.   The majority of
 solvent storage  tanks  are underground.   However, it is  likely that new
 solvent storage  tanks  will be  built  above  ground because of concern over
 potential  groundwater  contamination.   No add-on  control  devices are
 currently being  used to control the  tanks.   More than 100 polymeric
 coating facilities are located throughout  the  U.S.,  with the heaviest
 concentration  being in the Northeast.   The  SIC codes associated with these
 facilities are 2241, 2295, 2296, 2394,  2641, 3041,  3069, and 3293.
 Approximately  50 percent of the polymeric coated products  are manufactured
 by  industries  with SIC codes of 2295 and 2296  for use in automobiles.
     Magnetic  tape manufacturing facilities  generally store  multicomponent
 solvents  in fixed  roof tanks.  The solvents  stored  include tetrahydro-
 furan, methyl  ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl  ketone,  toluene,  and cyclo-
 hexanone.   The capacity for magnetic tape solvent vessels ranges from
 1,000 to  20,000  gallons.  The  solvent tanks may be vertical  or  horizontal
 fixed roof tanks.  A few of the tanks are located underground.  Most of
 the tanks  are  operated at atmospheric pressure or slightly above.
 Conservation vents are used by some facilities to minimize tank losses.  A
 conservation vent  is a combination pressure and vacuum relief valve that
 protects closed tanks from physical damage during filling and withdrawal
 of liquid  or from damage due to high pressure or  vacuums.  Conservation
 vents cannot be  installed in some tanks because of  the resulting higher
 internal pressure.   Solvent storage tank emissions  may also be controlled
 by venting vapor into control  devices such  as carbon adsorbers.   Proposed
 regulations require new solvent tanks at magnetic tape manufacturing
 facilities to install  pressure  relief valves or to  capture and vent all
 emissions  to a 95 percent efficient control  device.    Magnetic  tape
facilities are located  in 15 States,  with California having the  largest
number of plants.  The  SIC  codes associated with  magnetic tape
manufacturers are 3679  and  3573.
                                    17

-------
4.2  PETROLEUM REFINERIES13
     The products stored at petroleum refineries can  be divided  into three
categories:  low vapor pressure products, high vapor  pressure  products,
and crude oil.  Benzene, toluene, and xylene are air  toxics commonly
associated with petroleum products.  Some general information  about
storage practices for these three categories is presented below.
     Low vapor pressure petroleum refinery products,  such as fuel oil  and
diesel fuel, are typically stored in large fixed roof storage  tanks.
Fixed roof tanks, which have generally higher emission rates than floating
roof tanks, are allowed by Federal and State regulations to be used
because of the products' low vapor pressures.  Additional control devices
(e.g., condensers) are not typically employed on these fixed roof tanks.
     High vapor pressure products, such as gasoline, are typically stored
in large external floating roof tanks.  These tanks range in diameter  from
50 to 180 feet and are typically 30 to 50 feet high.  No add-on control
devices are typically used with these tanks.  Some of the tanks have been
modified to be internal floating roof tanks.  External floating roof tanks
are required by State and Federal regulations to have both a primary and
secondary seal.  The primary seal is usually a mechanical  shoe seal and
the secondary seal is usually rim-mounted.  Petroleum refineries also
store other high vapor pressure products, such as benzene, in internal
floating roof tanks that range in volume between 100,000 and
500,000 gallons.
     The third category of petroleum refinery products is  crude oil.
Crude oil has a wide ranging vapor pressure.   Crude  oil  is usually stored
in large external floating roof tanks.

4.3  BULK TERMINAL STORAGE TANKS13

     Bulk terminals are nonmanufacturing sites  that  store  commodities in
large quantities.  Petroleum liquid  products  are  stored  primarily at  bulk
terminals, while only a small  amount of  industrial organic  liquids  are
stored at bulk terminals.   The remainder of  this  subsection  focuses on the
storage of petroleum liquids after leaving a  petroleum refinery.
                                 18

-------
     Petroleum products are stored at two types of terminals,  high  volume
and low volume.  External floating roof tanks are used  at  both high-volume
and low-volume terminals.  Most of the petroleum tanks  at  terminals have
installed vapor recovery systems because of Federal and State  regulations.
     High-volume terminals are pipeline endpoints and typically have very
large external floating roof tanks.  The average volume of tanks  at a high
volume bulk terminal is 871,000 gallons.6  At high volume  terminals,  the
average smallest sized tank is estimated to be 319,000 gallons  and  the
average largest sized tank is estimated to be 3,600,000 gallons.7   The
majority of high-volume storage terminals are located in Texas, New
Jersey, and Louisiana.  Large petroleum distribution terminals  also are
located in Central and Southern States.
     Low-volume terminals generally are used for local distribution of
gasoline.  These tanks also have external  floating roofs,  but are smaller
in size than tanks at high-volume bulk terminals.   Tanks at small bulk
terminals range in size from 40,000 to 100,000 gallons.
     After leaving bulk terminals,  gasoline is transported to local
gasoline stations.  Gasoline is usually stored in  underground horizontal
tanks of between 10,000 and 20,000  gallons.
                                   19

-------
                    5.0   ESTIMATING  AIR TOXICS EMISSIONS

     Emissions of toxic  organic compounds  from storage  tanks  are a
 function of the size and type of tank,  the vapor  pressure  of  the liquid
 inside the tank, and atmospheric conditions at the tank location.   Three
 types of tanks are  usually used to  store organic  liquids:   fixed roof,
 external floating roof,  and internal floating  roof.  Fixed roof  storage
 tank emissions are  the sum of breathing losses (which are  due to changes
 in ambient temperature or pressure) and working losses  (from  loading  and
 unloading the tank).  External floating roof and  internal  floating roof
 storage tank emissions are the sum of standing storage  loss and  withdrawal
 loss.  Standing storage  loss includes rim  seal  loss, deck  fitting  loss,
 and deck seam loss.
     The EPA Publication AP-42 contains equations to estimate  emissions of
 petroleum products  and volatile organic liquids from fixed roof  and
 external or internal floating roof tanks.   These equations have  been  used
 to obtain emission  estimates for organic compounds.  When using  these
 equations, it is important to recognize that results from the  equations
 are only estimates.
     The following  section presents the AP-42  emission estimating
 equations for fixed roof tanks,  external floating roof tanks,   and  internal
 floating roof tanks and describes the methodology for the selection of
 parameters and calculation of properties.   Table 1 shows the calculation
 methodology recommended to estimate storage tank emissions.  This section
 discusses each of the 11 steps in the calculation methodology.
     The equations are not intended to be used in the following
 applications:   (1) to estimate losses from unstable or  boiling stocks,
 (2) to estimate losses from mixtures of hydrocarbons  or  petrochemicals for
which the vapor pressure is not  known or cannot be readily  predicted,
 (3) to estimate breathing losses  from insulated fixed roof  tanks  (the
equations for working losses  are  still  valid),  or  (4) to estimate losses
from tanks in  which  the  materials used  in  the rim  seal system  and/or roof
fittings are either  deteriorated  or  significantly  permeated by the  stored
 liquid.

-------
     One of the most  important parameters  in  estimating emissions from
 storage tanks is the  vapor pressure of the  liquid  being stored.   The vapor
 pressure of a liquid  is a function of temperature  and is affected by
 process changes.  The equations are more appropriate  for substances with
 vapor pressures of approximately 1.5 psia to  14.7  psia.   The equations
 have been developed for tanks having diameters greater than  20 feet and
 having average wind speed ranging from 2 to 15 miles  per hour.   A
 methodology to estimate emissions from low vapor pressure substances
 stored in tanks is currently under development.    Table  A-2  contains vapor
                                                           178
 pressure information  for several common organic compounds. '  '    When two
 or more compounds are present in a mixture, the resulting vapor  pressure
 must either be calculated analytically or determined  through
 measurements.  The analytical method most frequently  used to  estimate
 vapor pressure is Raoult's Law.  Raoult's Law states  that the vapor
 pressure exerted by a component in a mixture is equal  to  the  mole  fraction
 of the component times the vapor pressure of the component.
     Raoult's Law in  equation form is:  P^  t = P°  tx^, where  Pj t  is  the
 pressure exerted by component i in the mixture at  temperature t, P°  t  is
 the vapor pressure of the pure component i  at temperature t,   and x^  is  the
 mole fraction (as defined in Note (1)  of Section 5.1) of component  i  in
 the liquid mixture.   Raoult's Law is valid  only for compounds that form
 ideal mixtures.  Some mixtures behave  in a  nearly  ideal manner because
 their components have similar structures and molecular weights.   Common
 organic functional  groups that have an effect on the ideality of a mixture
 (i.e., make Raoult's  Law in applicable)  are:
     Acid anhydride          Ester
     Alcohol                 Ether
     Aldehyde                Ketone
     Amide                   Nitrile
     Amine                   Thiol
     Carboxylic acid
Mixtures  that contain compounds with different functional  groups  will not
behave ideally.   However,  compounds with  similar  functional groups can be
assumed to behave ideally,  allowing  the use  of Raoult's Law.   Raoult's Law
cannot be applied to complex  mixtures  of  hydrocarbons  such as petroleum
stocks.   If the  vapor pressure of a mixture  cannot  be  estimated accurately
                                    23

-------
using Raoult's Law, it can be estimated through sampling and  analysis  or
chemical equilibrium data, if available.
     Several examples demonstrating the use of the storage tank  emission
equations are presented in Appendix B.  A summary of all variables  used in
the emission estimating equations is presented in Table B-l.

5.1  DETERMINE TANK TYPE

     This report presents equations for estimating emissions  from three
types of tanks:  fixed roof, external floating roof, and internal floating
roof.  Before selecting the appropriate equations, the user must
categorize the storage tank.  Section 3 presents discussions  and
schematics of the three types of tanks plus pressure tanks and variable
vapor space tanks.  If there is a question as to what type a  particular
storage tank is, Section 3 should be consulted.

5.2  DETERMINE ESTIMATING METHODOLOGY

     When estimating emissions from a storage tank,  the parameters used in
the equations must be determined.  Usually,  the identity and concentration
of the constituents in a mixture are known or can  be easily calculated.
The vapor pressure of the liquid mixture must then be determined through
one of three methods:  (1) read from a table,  (2)  calculated using
Raoult's Law if the mixture acts ideally,  or (3) measured  using sampling
and analysis of the vapor.  The vapor pressure of  mixtures  such as
gasoline can be obtained from Table A-2 or Figure  A-4.   If  the compounds
in the mixture have similar structures and molecular weights (see
Section 5.0), then Raoult's Law can be used.   However,  if the compounds
are dissimilar, then an accurate vapor pressure for  the mixture can  only
be obtained through sampling and analysis  of  vapor in the tank.
     The molecular weight and the composition  of the  vapor  must be
calculated if they cannot be located in a  table.   These parameters can  be
calculated from the liquid composition and liquid  component properties.

5.3  SELECT EQUATIONS TO BE USED

     AP-42 presents emission equations for three types  of  storage  tanks:
fixed roof, external floating roof, and internal floating  roof.  The
equations for these tanks are presented below.

5.3.1  Fixed Roof Tanks

     The following equations apply to tanks with vertical  cylindrical
shells and fixed roofs.  These tanks store primarily liquid and operate
approximately at atmospheric pressure.  The breathing loss equations do
not apply to insulated fixed roof tanks.  Total VOC losses from fixed roof
tanks can be estimated as:
                                LT - LB+LW                             (i)
where:
     Ly = total loss, Ib/yr
     LB = fixed roof breathing loss, Ib/yr
     L^ = fixed roof working loss, Ib/yr

-------
         The molecular weight of the vapor  is dependent
         upon the molecular weight and the  vapor mole
         fraction of each component.  The mole fraction of
         a component is the number of moles of that
         component divided by the total number of moles in
         the mixture.  The number of moles  of a component
         in a mixture (liquid or vapor) is  calculated by
         dividing the weight of the component by its
         molecular weight.  For a given component, the
         product of its liquid mole fraction and its vapor
         pressure is called the partial pressure of the
         component (this is Raoult's Law).  This is the
         amount of pressure in the vapor that is due to
         that component in the liquid.   The ratio of the
         partial pressure of a component to the total vapor
         pressure is equal to the mole  fraction of that
         component in the vapor.
(2)      True vapor pressures for organic liquids can be
         determined from Figures A-3 or A-4, Table A-2,  or
         by calculation.   The stored liquid temperature,
         T^, must be known in any case  and may be
         calculated by knowing the color of the  tank  and
         the average ambient temperature in the  area.
         Table A-3 shows  T$ as a function  of ambient
         temperature and  tank color.  Table A-4  shows
         average ambient  temperatures for  selected  U.S.
         locations.
(3)      If information  is not available on  the  vapor  space
         height, assume H  equals  one half  the  corrected
         tank height.  To  correct for a cone roof,  the
         vapor space in the  cone  is equal  in volume to a
         cylinder which has  the  same base  diameter  as  the
         cone and is one third the height  of the cone.
(4)      The small tank diameter  adjustment  factor, C, can
         be read from Figure A-l  or calculated using the
                     27

                        for diameter <30 feet, C = 0.0771(D)-0.0013(D2)-

                        liquids, KC = 1.0.
               (6)      The emission estimating equations presented in
                        Section 5.3.1 were developed for vertical fixed
                        roof tanks.  If a user needs to estimate emissions
                        from a horizontal fixed roof tank, some of the
                        tank parameters can be modified before using the
                        vertical tank equations.   First, by assuming that
                        the tank is one-half filled, the surface area of
                        the liquid in the tank is approximately equal to
                        the length of the tank times the diameter of the
                        tank.  Next, assume that  this area represents a
                        circle, i.e., that the liquid is in an upright
                        cylinder.  The diameter of that circle can be
                        solved for and used in the equations as D.  One-
                        half of the diameter of horizontal tank should be
                        used as the value for H.   This method yields only
                        a very approximate value  for emissions from
                        horizontal  fixed roof storage tanks.

5.3.2  External  Floating Roof Tanks

     Floating roof tank emissions are the sum of  rim seal, withdrawal,  and
roof fitting losses.   External floating roof tanks  do not  have deck seam
losses.  The equations have been developed for liquids that are not
boiling,  stocks  with  a true vapor pressure ranging  from 1.5 to 14.7 psi,
average wind speeds ranging from 2  to 15 mph,  and tank diameter of 20  ft
or greater.   The equations are applicable to properly maintained equipment
in normal working conditions where  materials used in  the rim  seal  system
and/or roof  fittings  are not deteriorated or significantly permeated  by
the stored liquid. Losses from poorly  maintained equipment may be higher
than losses estimated using the equations.

                                 28

-------
     Emissions from external floating roof  tanks can  be  estimated  as:

where:
                              LT - LR+LWD+LRF
      Lj = total  loss,  Ib/yr
      1.^ = rim seal  loss, Ib/yr
     LWQ = withdrawal loss, Ib/yr
     LRp = roof fitting loss, Ib/yr
      Lg = deck seam loss, Ib/yr, = 0.0;

     Rim seal loss:
     Rim seal loss from floating roof tanks can be estimated by the
following equation:
                        1_R = KsvnP*DMvKc                                (5)
where:
     KS = seal factor for average or tight fit seals,
          lb-mol/(ft [mi/h]n yr), see Table A- 5
      v = average wind speed at tank site, mi/h, see Note 1
      n = seal-related wind speed exponent (dimensionless), see Table A-4
     P* = vapor pressure function (dimensionless), see Note 2
where:
      P = true vapor pressure at average actual liquid storage
          temperature, psia, see Note 2 to Equation 1
     PA = average atmospheric pressure at tank location, psia
      D = tank diameter, ft
     Mv = average vapor molecular weight, Ib/lb-mol,  see Note 1 to
          Equation 1
     K£ = product factor,  dimensionless,  see Note 3
     Figures A-6 through A-9 present graphical estimates of (K^v")   for
several tank and seal  types.
                                    29

-------
Notes:    (1)  Wind speed data are presented in Table A-6.   If  the wind
               speed at the tank site is not available, wind  speed data
               from the nearest local weather station may be  used as  an
               approximation.
          (2)  P* can be calculated or read directly from Figure A-5.
          (3)  For all organic liquids except crude oil, KQ = 1.0.  For
               crude oil, K^ = 0.4.

     Withdrawal loss:
     The withdrawal loss from floating roof storage tanks can be estimated
using the following equation:
                               (0.943)QCFW    NCF
                         LWD=      D   FliHrI]                    <7>

where:
      Q = annual throughput, bbl/yr (tank capacity (bbl) times annual
          turnover rate)
     Cp = shell clingage factor, bbl/1,000 ft2, see Table A-7, Note 1
     WL = average organic liquid density, Ib/gal, see Note 2
      D = tank diameter, ft
     NC = number of columns, dimension less, see Note 4
     F£ = effective column diameter, ft (column perimeter [ft]/*),  see
          Note 5
Notes:    (1)  The units on this parameter, bbl/1,000 ft ,  are cancelled
               out by the units on the constant 0.943 (see Note 3).
               Therefore, if the appropriate Cp value from Table A-7  is
               0.0015 bbl/1,000 ft2, the number 0.0015 should be used in
               the equation for Cp.
          (2)  If Wj_ is not known, an average value of 5.6  Ib/gal can be
               assumed for gasoline.  An average value cannot be assumed
               for crude oil, since densities are highly variable.
          (3)  The constant, 0.943, has dimensions of 1,000  ft3xgal/bbl2.
          (4)  For self-supporting fixed roof or an external  floating roof
               tank:
                        N  = 0
                                 30

               For internal floating roof tank with  column-supported  fixed
               roof:
               NQ = use tank-specific information, or  see  Table  A-12
          (5)  For internal floating roof tank with  column-supported  fixed
               roof, use tank-specific effective column diameter;  or
               Fc = 1.1 for 9-inch by 7-inch builtup columns, 0.7  for
                    8-inch diameter pipe columns, and  1.0  if column
                    construction details are not known.

     Roof fitting loss:

     Fitting losses from external floating roof tanks can be estimated by
the following equation:
                              LRF * FFP*MVKC                           (8)
where:
     Fp = total roof fitting loss factor, Ib-mol/yr
        = l(NF KF )+(NF KF ) . . . +(NF  KF  )]
             TI ri    r2 rz           rn^ rn^

where:
              Np  - number of deck fittings of a particular type
                        (1 = 0,l,2,...,nf), dimensionless,  see Table A-8,
                        A-9, A-10
              Kp  = roof fitting loss factor for a particular type fitting
                        (i = 0,l,2,...,nf), Ib-mol/yr,  see  Equation 9  or
                        Figures A-10 through A-18
               n^ = total  number of different types  of  fittings,
                        dimensionless
        P*t  Mv, Kc = as defined for Equations 5 and  6
     The roof fitting loss factor for a  particular roof fitting  type,  Kp.,
can be read  directly from  Figures A-10 through  A-18  or  calculated using
Equation 9.   Figures A-10  through A-18 show roof  fitting  loss  factors
based on wind speed for common roof fitting  types.   The roof  fitting loss
factor for individual  fitting  types can  also be estimated from Equation 9:
                                    31

      F1 -  fa^-
where:
          Kfa  = roof fitting loss factor for a particular roof fitting
                   type (1 = 1, 2, ..., n)(lb-mol/yr).
          Kfjj  = roof fitting loss factor for a particular roof fitting
             1     type [i = 1, 2, ..., n][lb-niol/(nri/h)V].
            m^ = roof fitting loss factor for a particular roof fitting
                   type (i = 1, 2, .... n)(dimension!ess).
             v = average wind speed (mi/h).

The most common roof fittings and their associated roof fitting loss
factors, Kfa.t Kfjj , and m^ are presented in Table A-8.
     The number of each type of roof fitting, Np.,can vary significantly
from tank to tank and should be determined for each tank under considera-
tion.  If specific tank information is not available, Np  can be obtained
from Tables A-8, A-9, and A-10.  Table A-8 presents the typical number of
fittings associated with the most common roof fittings.  Tables A-9 and
A-10 show the typical number of vacuum breakers, roof drains, and roof
legs based on tank diameter.
     If no information is available on the specific type and number of
roof fittings, the total roof fitting loss factor, Fp, can be obtained
from Figures A-19 and A-20.  Figures A-19 and A-20 show total roof fitting
loss factors based on tank diameter for typical  roof fittings on pontoon
and double-deck floating roofs, respectively.  These total loss factors
should only be used when detailed roof fitting information is not
available.

     Deck seam loss:
     External floating roof tanks do not have deck seam losses because
roofs are welded.  Equations for deck seam losses  are presented for
internal floating roof tanks in Section 5.3.3.
                                 32

-------
5.3.3   Internal Floating  Roof  Tanks

     The equations provided  in this  section  are applicable only to freely
vented  internal floating  roof  tanks.   These  equations are not intended to
estimate losses from closed  internal  floating  roof tanks (tanks vented
only through a pressure/vacuum vent).
     Emissions from internal floating  roof tanks may be estimated as:
                        LT = LR+LWD+LF+LD                              (10)
where:
      Lj = total loss, Ib/yr
      Lp = rim seal loss, see  Equation 5
     LWD = withdrawal loss, see Equation 7
      Lp = deck fitting loss,  Ib/yr
      LQ = deck seam loss, Ib/yr

     Deck fitting losses:
     Fitting losses from  internal floating roof  tanks  can  be  estimated  by
the following equation:
                               LF  =  FFP*MVKC                            (11)
where:
     Fp = total deck fitting loss factor, Ib-mol/yr
        - KNFlKFiHNF2Kp2)...-K(NpnKpn )]
where:                              ^   ^
            Np  = number of deck fittings of a particular  type
                    (1 =0, 1,  2, ..., nr), dimensionless, see Table A-ll
            Kp  = deck fitting loss factor for a particular type fitting
               (i » 0, 1, 2, ..., r\f), Ib-mol/yr, see Table A-ll
             r\f = total number of different types of fittings
     P*, Mv, K£ = as defined in Equations 5 and 6.

The value of Fp may be calculated by using actual tank-specific data for
the number of each fitting type (Np) and then multiplying by the fitting
loss factor for each fitting (Kp).  Values of fitting loss factors and
typical number of fittings are presented in Table A-ll.   Where tank-
specific data for the number and kind of deck fittings are unavailable,
                                    33

-------
then Fp can be approximated according to tank diameter.   Figures A-21  and
A-22 present Fp plotted against tank diameter for column-supported  fixed
roofs and self-supported fixed roofs, respectively.
     Deck seam loss:
     Welded internal floating roof tanks do not have deck seam  losses.
Deck seam losses may be present for tanks with bolted decks.  Deck  seam
loss can be estimated by the following equation:

                        LQ = KgSgDVMvKc                              (12)

where:
        K0 = deck seam loss per unit seam length factor, Ib-mol/ft yr
           = 0.0 for welded deck and external floating roof tanks,
           =0.34 for bolted deck
        Sg = deck seam length factor, ft/ft
               "deck
where:
                Lseam = total length of deck seams, ft
                Adeck = area of deck» ft2 = IT D /4
        D» P*, Mv, K£ = as defined for Equations 5 and 6
     If the total length of the deck seam is not known, Table A-13 can be
used to determine SQ.  For a deck constructed from continuous metal sheets
with a 7 ft spacing between the seams, a value of 0.14 ft/ft  can be
used.  A value of 0.33 can be used for Sg when a deck is constructed from
rectangular panels 5 ft by 7.5 ft.  Where tank-specific data concerning
width of deck sheets or size of deck panels are unavailable, a default
value for Sg can be assigned.  A value of 0.20 ft/ft2 can be assumed to
represent the most common bolted decks currently in use.

5.4  IDENTIFY PARAMETERS TO BE CALCULATED OR DETERMINED FROM TABLES

     Once the correct emission estimating equations have been identified,
the user must identify the variables that are not specified  by given
                                 34

-------
conditions.  By determining which  factors  (such  as  the number of columns
in an  internal floating roof  tank)  are  not known and  which can be
determined from tables (e.g.,  the  paint factor,  the wind velocity
exponent), the user can decide which  calculation steps need to be
performed.

5.5  CALCULATE MOLE FRACTIONS  IN THE  LIQUID

     This step is only necessary if the vapor pressure of the liquid  is
estimated using Raoult's Law.  The  number  of moles  of a component in  a
mixture  (liquid or vapor) is equal  to the  weight  of the component in  the
mixture  divided by the molecular weight of the component.   The mole
fraction of a component is the number of moles of the component divided  by
the total number of moles in the mixture,  including itself.   Often mole
fractions are calculated from  weight fractions.   For  example,  a stored
liquid might be known to be 50 weight percent toluene,  35 weight  percent
benzene, and 15 weight percent aniline.  By looking at  an arbitrary amount
of the liquid (1,000 pounds),  the mole  fractions of the  three  components
can be determined.  This is demonstrated in Part 5  of  Example  B-l.  The
mole fractions calculated for  a mixture  using an arbitrary amount of
liquid are valid no matter what amount of the mixture  is actually present.

5.6  CALCULATE PARTIAL PRESSURES AND TOTAL VAPOR PRESSURE OF THE LIQUID

     This step is required only when the vapor pressure of the stored
liquid is not known.   Vapor presures of organic compounds are located in
Table A-2.  Vapor pressures for certain compounds also can be calculated
using regression equations.  '    If the mixture behaves ideally, Raoult's
Law is used to calculate  the partial pressure of each  component in the
mixture.  As explained in Section 5.0, Raoult's  Law  states that the mole
fraction of the component in the  liquid (x^) times the vapor pressure of
the component at the  storage temperature (Pj j)  is equal to the partial
pressure for that component.   The sum  of the partial pressures for all
components in the mixture is the  vapor pressure  of the mixture.  This  is
demonstrated in Step  6 of Example B-l.
                                    35

-------
5.7  CALCULATE MOLE FRACTIONS IN THE VAPOR

     This step is only required when the weight fractions or the molecular
weight of the vapor is not known.  The mole fraction of a component  in a
vapor mixture is equal to the partial pressure of the component divided by
the total vapor pressure of the liquid:
                                1    rtotal
This is demonstrated in Step 7 of Example B-l.

5.8  CALCULATE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF THE VAPOR

     This step is required only when the molecular weight of the vapor is
not known.  Since molecular weight is a molar quantity, the molecular
weight of the vapor is dependent on the mole fractions of components in
the vapor.  This calculation is shown in Step 8 of Example B-l.

5.9  CALCULATE WEIGHT FRACTIONS OF THE VAPOR

     This step is required only when the weight fractions of the vapor are
not known.  Vapor phase weight fractions for many mixtures are available
in VOC species data manuals (see Reference 14).  Weight fractions can also
be calculated using the mole fractions from Step 7.   For example, the
vapor phase mole fractions might have been calculated as 50 percent
toluene, 25 percent benzene, and 25 percent aniline.   By looking at an
arbitrary amount of the vapor (1,000 moles), the weight fractions of the
three components can be determined.  This is demonstrated in Step 9 of
Example B-l.  The weight fractions calculated for a mixture using an
arbitrary amount of vapor are valid no matter what amount of the mixture
is actually present.
                                 36

5.10  CALCULATE TOTAL VOC EMITTED FROM THE TANK

     Using the equations identified in Step 3 and the parameters
calculated in Steps 4 through 8, the total VOC emitted from the storage
tank can be calculated.  This calculation is shown in Step 10 of
Example B-l.

5.11  CALCULATE AMOUNT OF EACH COMPONENT EMITTED FROM THE TANK

     The amount of each component emitted from the tank is the weight
fraction of that component in the vapor (calculated in Step 9) times the
amount of total VOC emitted (calculated in Step 10).   For example, if a
tank emits 1,000 pounds of VOC and the vapor weight fraction for benzene
is 0.15, then 150 pounds of benzene is emitted.  The  liquid volume of a
component emitted can be calculated by dividing the weight of the
component emitted by the density (Ib/gal)  of the component.  This is
demonstrated in Step 11 of Example B-l.

aTh1s table was derived from a survey of users and manufacturers.  The
 actual number of vacuum breakers may vary greatly depending on throughput
 and manufacturing prerogatives.  The actual number of roof drains may
 also vary greatly depending on the design rainfall and manufacturing
 prerogatives.  For tanks over 300 ft diameter, actual tank data or
 manufacturer's recommendations may be needed for the number of roof
 drains.  This table should not supersede information based on actual tank
.data.
 If the actual diameter is between the diameters listed in this table, use
 the closest diameter listed.  If midway, use the next larger diameter.
cRoof drains that drain excess rainwater into the product are not used on
 pontoon floating roofs.  They are, however, used on double-deck floating
 roofs and are typically left "open."

                 B.I   CHEMICAL MIXTURE IN A FIXED ROOF TANK

     Determine the yearly emission  rate  of product  and  of each  component
from a vertical, fixed roof storage tank containing (for  every
3,171 pounds  [Ib] of  liquid mixture)  2,812 Ib  of benzene, 258 Ib  of
toluene, and  101 Ib of cyclohexane.   The tank  is not  heated  and the
average yearly ambient temperature  of the area is 67°F.   The tank is
6 feet (ft) in diameter and 10 ft high and is  painted white. The tank
volume is 2,100 gallons.  The number  of  turnovers per year for  the tank  is
five (i.e., the throughput of the tank is 10,500 gal/yr).

Solution:

     1.  Determine tank type

     The tank is a vertical, fixed  roof  storage  tank.

     2.  Determine estimating methodology

     The product is made up of three  organic liquids, all  of which  are
miscible in each other, which make  a  homogenous  mixture if the material  is
well mixed.  The tank emission rate will  be based upon the properties of
the mixture.  Since the components  have  similar  structures and molecular
weights, Raoult's Law is assumed to apply  to the mixture.

     3.  Select equations to be used

     For a vertical, fixed roof storage tank, the following equations
apply:

        LT = LB+LW
where:
        Lw = 2.40xlQ-SMvPVNKNKc
        LT = total loss,  Ib/yr of VOC
        LB = breathing loss,  Ib/yr of VOC
        Lw = working loss,  Ib/yr of VOC

        My = molecular weight of product vapor,  Ib/lb-mol
         P = true vapor pressure of product,  psia

        PA = atmospheric  pressure,  psia
         D = tank diameter, ft
                                   B-3

-------
         H = average vapor space height, ft:  use tank-specific  values  or
             an assumed value of one-half the tank height
        AT = average diurnal temperature change in °F
        Fp = paint factor (dimensionless); see Table A-l
         C = tank diameter factor (dimensionless):
             for diameter >30 feet, C = 1
             for diameter <30 feet,
         C - 0.0771 (D)-0.0013(D2)-0.1334
        K£ = product factor (dimensionless) = 1.0 for volatile organic
             liquids, 0.65 for crude oil
         V = tank capacity, gal
         N » number of turnovers per year (dimensionless)

           - throughput, qal/yr
             tank capacity, gal

        KM = turnover factor (dimensionless):
                                     1 pru.M
             for turnovers >36, KN = ±^-
             for turnovers <36, KN = 1
     4.  Identify parameters to be calculated or determined from tables
     In this example, the following parameters are not specified:  My, P,
AT, H, PA, and Fp.  Some typical assumptions that can be made are:
      H = % tank height - ^(10) = 5 ft
     Fp * 1.0 for clean white paint (Table A-l)
     AT = 20°F
     PA * atmospheric pressure = 14.7 psia
     K£ » 1.0 for volatile organic liquids
     The tank diameter factor can be found in Figure A-l or calculated as
follows:
      C = 0.0771(6)-0.0013(6)2-0.1334
      C = 0.282
     The vapor pressure (P)  of the liquid  and the molecular weight of the
vapor (Mv) still need to be calculated.

     5.  Calculate mole fractions  in the  liquid

     The mole fractions of components  in  the  liquid  must  be  calculated  in
order to calculate the vapor pressure  of  the  liquid  using Raoult's  Law.

     The molecular weight for each component  (M^)  can  be  read  from
Table A-2.

     M^ = molecular weight, Ib/lb-mol
     x^ = moles.j/total moles = 36.0/40.0 = 0.900 for benzene

     6.  Calculate partial pressures and total vapor pressure of the
         liquid

     The vapor pressure of the mixture may be found by first obtaining the
vapor pressures of each component at the average yearly temperature from
Table A-2.  For temperatures not listed in the table, interpolation
between values is required.

     Because the average temperature falls between two temperature values
on the table (60°F and 70°F), interpolation between temperatures is
necessary.  The vapor pressure for each component at 67°F may be
calculated through interpolation in the following manner:

     Benzene
          Tactual  - 67°F
               T!  = 60°F

               T2  = 70°F

               P:  = 1.2

               P2  = 1.5

     Similarly, vapor pressures for the two remaining components are
calculated as:

     Toluene:  P(at 67°F) = 0.37 psia

     Cyclohexane:  P(at 67°F) = 1.5 psia

     Using these vapor pressures of the pure components and the liquid
mole fractions calculated in Step 5, the partial pressures of the three
components can be calculated.

     According to Raoult's Law, the partial pressure of a component is the
product of its pure vapor pressure and its liquid mole fraction.

The vapor phase mole fractions sum to 1.0.

fractions of the components  in the vapor.

     9.  Calculate weight fractions of the vapor

     The weight fractions of the vapor are needed to calculate the amount
(in pounds) of each component emitted from the tank.  The weight fractions
are related to the previously calculated mole fractions.  First, assume
that there are 1,000 moles of vapor present.  Using this assumption, the
weight fractions calculated will be valid no matter how many moles
actually are present.  The number of moles for each component will be
1,000 times the mole fraction of the component

     The weight fraction of  each component is the pounds of that component
divided by the total pounds  of the mixture.  For example,
                 weight fract1onben2ene  »        = 0.941.
Simarly, toluene = 0.0228  and cyclohexane = 0.0362.
     10.  Calculate total  VOC emitted from the tank
     The total  VOC emitted from the tank is calculated using the equations
identified in Step 3 and the parameters calculated in Steps 4 through 9.
                               LT = LB+LW
where:
        LT = total loss, Ib/yr of VOC

          B.2  CHEMICAL MIXTURE  IN AN EXTERNAL  FLOATING ROOF  TANK

      Determine the yearly  emission  rate of a mixture  that is  75 percent
 benzene,  15  percent  toluene,  and 10  percent cyclohexane,  by weight, from a
 100,000 gallon external floating roof tank with a pontoon roof.  The tank is
 20  feet in diameter.  The  average yearly temperature  in the area is 70°F and
 the average  wind  speed is  10  mph. The  tank has 10 turnovers  per year.  The
 tank roof has no  support columns. The  tank has a mechanical  shoe seal
 (primary  seal) and a shoe-mounted secondary seal.   The tank is  made of
 welded steel and  has a light  rust covering on the inside  surface of the
 shell.  The  floating roof  is  equipped with the  following  fittings:   (1) an
 ungasketed access hatch with  an  unbolted cover, (2) an unspecified  number
 of  ungasketed vacuum breakers with weighted mechanical actuation, and
 (3)  ungasketed gauge hatch/sample wells with weighted mechanical  actuation.

 Solution:

      1.   Determine tank type

      The  tank is  an  external floating roof storage tank.

      2.   Determine estimating methodology

      The  product  consists of three organic liquids, all of which are
 miscible  in  each  other, which make a homogenous mixture if the material  is
 well  mixed.  The  tank emission rate will be  based upon the properties  of
 the  mixture.  Since the components have  similar structures and molecular
 weights,  Raoult's Law is assumed  to apply  to  the mixture.

      3.   Select equations to be used

       Kp   =  roof fitting loss  factor for a particular type of fitting, 1 fa-
             mo! /yr.   Kp. is  determined for each fitting type from

      4.   Identify parameters to be  calculated or determined from tables
      In this example, the following parameters are not specified:   Wi_, Fp,
 Cp,  Ks, v, n,  P, P*,  Mv, and Kc.  Some typical assumptions that can be
 made are as  follows:
       v »  average windspeed  for the tank site = 10 mi/h
      K£ =  1.0  for volatile organic  liquids
      CF =  0.0015 bbl/103 ft2 for  tanks  with  light rust (from Table  A-7)
      Ks =  0.8  (from Table A-5)
       n =  1.2  (from Table A-5)
 Fpt  WL, P, P*, and My still  need  to be  calculated.
      Fp is estimated  by  calculating the  individual  Kp   and  Np.  for  each  of
 the  three  types  of roof  fittings  used  in this  example.  For the ungasketed
 access hatches with unbolted covers,  the Kf value can  be calculated using
 information  in Table  A-8.  For this  fitting, Kfa  =  2.7, Kfb  = 7.1,  and m =
 1.   There  is normally one access  hatch.  So,

      KF             » 
-------
     For the ungasketed gauge hatch/sample wells with weighted mechanical
actuation, Table A-8 indicates that tanks normally have only one.
Figure A-14 gives Kpgauge hatch/sample well as 25 Ib-mol/yr for  a wind
speed of 10 miles per hour.

     Kc                        = 25 Ib-mol/yr

     5.  Calculate mole fractions in the liquid

     The mole fractions of components in the liquid must be calculated in
order to estimate the vapor pressure of the liquid using Raoult's Law.
For this example, the weight fractions (given as 75 percent benzene,
15 percent toluene, and 10 percent cyclohexane) of the mixture must be
converted to mole fractions.  First, assume that there are 1,000 Ib of
liquid mixture.  Using this assumption, the mole fractions calculated will
be valid no matter how many pounds of liquid actually are present.  The
amount (pounds) of each component is equal  to the weight fraction times
1,000:

     For example, the mole fraction  of benzene in the liquid  is
9.603/12.420 =0.773.

     6.  Calculate partial  pressures and  total vapor  pressure of the
         liquid

     The vapor pressure of  each component at 70°F can be taken from
 Table A-2.  Since Raoult's  Law is assumed to apply  in this  example, the
 partial pressure of each component is the liquid mole fraction (x^) times
 the vapor pressure of the component (P.,-)-

     The vapor pressure of the mixture is estimated to be  1.37 psia.

     7.  Calculate mole fractions in the vapor

     The mole fractions of the vapor phase are based upon  the partial
pressure that each component exerts (calculated in Step 6).

     The total vapor pressure of the mixture is 1.37 psia.  So for
benzene:

                               p
                                partial   1.16

where:
     ^benzene = mole fraction Qf benzene in the vapor
     ppartial = Partial pressure of benzene in the vapor, psia

       P total = total vapor pressure of the mixture, psia

Similarly,

         ^toluene = 0.0524/1.37 = 0.0382

     ^cyclohexane = 0-154/1.37 = 0.112

     The vapor phase mole fractions sum to  1.0.

     8.   Calculate molecular weight of  the  vapor

     The molecular weight of the vapor  is dependent  upon  the mole
fractions of the components in the vapor.

                                My = iM1y1

     9.  Calculate weight fractions of the vapor

     The weight fractions of the vapor are needed to calculate the amount
(in pounds) of each component emitted from the tank.  The weight fractions
are related to the mole fractions calculated in Step 7.  First, assume
that there are 100 moles of vapor present.  Using this assumption, the
weight fractions calculated will be valid no matter how many moles
actually are present.

     10.  Calculate total VOC emitted from the tank

     The total VOC emitted from the tank is calculated using the equations

              B.3  GASOLINE IN AN INTERNAL FLOATING ROOF TANK

      Determine emissions of product  from a 1,000,000-gallon,  internal
floating roof tank containing gasoline  (RVP 13).  The yearly  average
temperature in the area is 60°F.  The annual number of turnovers  for the
tank  is 50.  The tank is 70 ft in diameter and 35 ft high and  is  equipped
with  a liquid-mounted primary seal plus a secondary seal.  The tank's  deck
is welded and equipped with the following:  (1) two access hatches  with  an
unbolted, ungasketed cover; (2) an automatic gauge float well  with  an
unbolted, ungasketed cover; (3) a pipe column well with a flexible  fabric
sleeve seal; (4) a siiding-cover, gasketed ladder well; (5) a  fixed roof
leg;  (6) a slotted sample pipe well with a gasketed sliding cover;  and
(7) a weighted, gasketed vacuum breaker.

      Solution;

      1.  Determine tank type

      The following information must be known about the tank in order to
use the internal floating roof equations:

      —the number of columns
      —the effective column diameter
      --the system seal description (vapor,  liquid mounted; primary  or
          secondary seal)
      —the deck fitting types and the deck  seam length
Some  of this information depends on specific  construction  details, which
may not be known.  In these instances, approximate values  are provided for
use.

      2.  Determine estimating methodology

     Gasoline consists of  many organic compounds,  all  of which are
miscible in each other,  which  form a homogenous mixture.   The  tank
emission rate will  be based on the properties of  RVP  13 gasoline.   Since
vapor pressure data have already  been compiled, Raoult's Law will  not be
used.  The molecular weight of gasoline  also will  be taken from a  table
and will  not be calculated.  Weight  fractions of  components will be
assumed to be available  from a VOC species manual  (see Reference 14).

P, Mv, Ks, v, n, P*, Kc, FF, KD, and Sg.  The density of the liquid (WL)
and the vapor pressure of the liquid (P) can be read from tables and do
not need to be calculated.  Also,  the weight fractions of components in
the vapor can be obtained from speciation manuals.  Therefore,  several
steps required in preceeding examples will not be required in this
example.  In each case,  if a step  is not required, the reason is
presented.

to calculate liquid vapor pressure, which is given in this example.
     6.  Calculate partial pressures and total  vapor pressure of the
         liquid
     This step is not required because the vapor pressure of gasoline is
given.

           B.4  CHEMICAL MIXTURE IN A HORIZONTAL FIXED ROOF TANK

     Determine the yearly emission rate of product and of each component
from a horizontal above ground, fixed roof storage tank containing  (for
every 1,750 Ib of liquid mixture) 1,600 Ib of benzene, 100 Ib of toluene,
and 50 Ib of cyclohexane.  The tank is not heated and the average yearly
ambient temperature of the area is 67.5°F.  The tank is 10 ft in diameter
and 17 ft long and the roof and shell are painted aluminum.  The tank
volume is 10,000 gallons.  The number of turnovers per year for the tank
is three (i.e., the throughput of the tank is 30,000 gal/yr).

Solution;

     1.  Determine tank type

     The tank is a horizontal, fixed roof storage tank.

     2.  Determine estimating methodology

     The product consists of three organic liquids, all of which are
miscible in each other and make a homogenous mixture if the material is
well mixed.  The tank emission rate will  be based upon the properties of
the mixture.  Since the fixed roof equations were developed for vertical
tanks, the diameter and height of the tank will  need to be calculated.
The components have similar structures and molecular weights, so Raoult's
Law will be assumed to apply.

     3.  Select equations to be used

     For a horizontal, fixed roof storage tank,  the following equations
apply:

        LT = LB+LW
where:
           = 2.40xlQ-SMvPVNKNKc
        LT = total  loss,  Ib/yr of  VOC

        Lg = breathing loss,  Ib/yr of VOC
        Ly = working loss,  Ib/yr of VOC

        My = molecular weight of product vapor,  Ib/lb-mol
         P = true vapor pressure of product,  psia

        Pfl = atmospheric  pressure,  psia
         D = tank diameter, ft
                                   B-26

-------
         H =» average vapor  space  height, ft
        AT = average diurnal temperature change,  °F
        Fp = paint factor (dimensionless); see Table  A-l;
         C = tank diameter  factor (dimensionless):
           for diameter >30 feet,  C =  1
           for diameter <30 feet,
             C = 0.0771 (D)-0.0013(D2)-0.1334
        K£ = product factor (dimensionless) = 1.0 for volatile organic
           liquids, 0.65 for crude oil
         V = tank capacity, gal
         N = number of turnovers  per year (dimensionless)

           _ throughput, gal/yr
             tank capacity, gal

        KN = turnover factor (dimensionless):
                                   iafu.M
           for turnovers >36, KM = ^^-
                               n    on
           for turnovers <36, KN = 1

     4.  Identify parameters to be calculated or determined from tables

     In this example, the following parameters are not specified:  Mv, P,
AT, KC, PA, C, H, and Fp.   Some typical assumptions that can be made
are:

     Fp = 1.2 for aluminum  (specular)  paint on roof and shell  (see
          Table A-l)

     AT = 20°F

     PA = atmospheric pressure  = 14.7  psia

     K£ = 1.0 for volatile organic liquids

     Since the emission estimating equations  were  developed for vertical
tanks,  some of the horizontal tank parameters  must be  modified before
using the equations.   First, assume that the  tank  is one-half filled.  The
surface area of the  liquid in this case is  approximately equal  to the
length  of the tank times the diameter  of the  tank.   In this case, the
surface area is 17x10 - 170  ft  .   Next, assume that this area represents  a
circle, i.e.,  that the  liquid is  in an  upright cylinder.  Solving for
diameter (A = 170 ft2 = irD /4) yields  a diameter of 14.7 ft.   Thus,  a
value of 14.7  ft  for  D  should be used  in the equations.   Since  the tank is
                                   B-27

-------
assumed to be one-half full, the vapor space Is equal to one-half the
diameter of the tank.  Therefore, a value of 10 ftxl/2 = 5 ft for H  should
be used in the equations.

     The tank diameter factor (C) is calculated using a diameter of
14.7 ft.

     C = 0.0771(14.7)-0.0013(14.7)2-0.1334

     C = 0.719

     If this tank were located underground, then the breathing losses
could be assumed to be negligible because the diurnal temperature change
(AT) would be close to zero.

     The vapor pressure (P) of the liquid and the molecular weight of the
vapor (My) still need to be calculated.

     5.  Calculate mole fractions in the liquid

     The mole fractions of components in the liquid must be calculated in
order to calculate the vapor pressure of the liquid using Raoult's Law.

     The molecular weight for each component (M^) can be read from
Table A-2.

     6.  Calculate partial  pressures and total  vapor pressure of the
         liquid

     The vapor pressure of  the mixture may be found  by first obtaining the
vapor pressures of each component  from Table  A-2.   In this  example, the
storage tank is painted aluminum.   Therefore,  the  temperature of the
stored liquid must be adjusted using Table A-3.  Table A-3  indicates that
the average yearly temperature must be adjusted  by 2.5 degrees to account
for the aluminum tank.  Therefore,  vapor pressure  information should be
taken from Table A-2 at 67.5+2.5 =  70° F.

     7.  Calculate mole fractions in the vapor

     The mole fractions of the vapor phase are based upon the partial
pressure that each component exerts (calculated in Step 6).

     The total vapor pressure of the mixture is 1.44 psia; so, for
benzene:


                               Ppartia1   1.38   n QCQ

        ppartial ~ Part1al pressure of benzene,  psia

              Pj » total vapor pressure of the mixture,  psia

Similarly, for toluene and Cyclohexane,
                                   0.0196
                        toluene = T^T =
                       ycyclohexane =  1.44  = °-03
The vapor phase mole fractions  sum  to 1.0.

     8.  Calculate molecular weight of the vapor

     The molecular weight of the vapor is dependent upon the mole
fractions of the components in the vapor.

                                Mv = sM.y.

where:

        My = molecular weight of the vapor, Ib/lb-mole

        M.J = molecular weight of the component, Ib/lb-mole

        y.j = mole fraction of the component in the vapor

The molecular weight of the vapor is  78.6 Ib/lb-mol.

     9.   Calculate weight fractions of  the vapor

     The weight fractions of the vapor  are needed to calculate the amount
of each  component emitted from the tank.   The weight fractions are related
to the previously calculated mole fractions.   First, assume that there are
100 moles of vapor present.  Using this assumption,  the weight fractions
calculated will be valid no matter how  many moles actually are present.

divided by the total  pounds  of the mixture.  For example,

     10.   Calculate total  VOC emitted from  the tank

     The  total  VOC emitted from the tank  is calculated  using the  equations
identified in Step 3 and the parameters calculated in Steps 4 through  9.
                                B-30

        N = 3 (given)
       KN = 1 (from Step 3)
       Kc = 1 (from Step 4)
       Lw = 2.40xlQ-5(78.6)(1.4)(10,000)(3)(l)(l)
       Lw = 79.2 Ib/yr of VOC

10. ABSTRACT
 To assist  groups  interested  in inventorying  air emissions  of  potentially toxic  sub-
 stances, EPA is preparing a  series  of  documents  that compiles available  information
 on sources  and emissions  of toxic  substances.   This document  deals specifically  with
 methods  to  estimate  air  toxics  emissions  from organic  liquid  storage  tanks.   Its
 intended audience  includes Federal, State, and  local air pollution personnel and others
 interested  in making  estimates  of  toxic  air  pollutants  emitted from organic  liquid
 storage  tanks.

 This document presents  equations  for  estimating   air toxics  emissions  from  organic
 liquid storage  tanks  and  demonstrates  through examples how   to  use  the  equations.
 Information is  also   provided  on  storage  tanks   typically  associated   with  source
 categories.
