Sampling and Measurement of Particulate Emissions from Refinery Installations

摘要

This report gives an overall review of available techniques for measuring and characterizing the emissions of particulate matter from refinery stationary sources. Particulate matter is characterized by its physical and chemical properties. Generally, emission standards identify two important physical properties: opacity (visible emissions) and total particulate mass concentration. In this report the state of the art in instrumentation has been broadly divided into determination of total mass emissions by manual and automatic techniques, smoke density by optical methods and particle size measurement using both in-situ and laboratory type instruments.
