The Use Organic Solvents Evaporation Losses System Calculation Control in Tanks of Storage, Productive Systems and Transportation in Brazil for Prevention of Environmental Impact; Potential Fire and Incidents Risks

This paper has the intention of supplying subsides to be a starting point for the Civilian Defense, Fire Brigade and personal envolved in environmental control; so that they can evaluate an impact caused by the evaporation of solvents and its inherent potential risks; that may cause fires and environmental accidents.

This evaluation can be made even before the project or inspection phase of a new industry, highway or on a new installation of storage tanks in storage parks project or still as a forecast of the evaporation and risk in transport in a route or highway. Besides the theoretical study we will be compare the real measurements data of physical inventory from 38 industries that answered to the questionnaire with the studied theoretical data. Comparing these inventory data with, for instance, the numbers obtained by the mathematical experiment to analyze that an excessive value of losses should be verified, it can indicate need to adapt or to install a system of recovery of the lost steams for the atmosphere as form of control of the environmental emission during storage, transport or process, but it can also indicate the need of larger logistic storage control ( for example it can be having deviation for illicit ends and/or product can being stolen). . We interviewed 70 industries, among them the largest industries of paints and stickers,05 Petroleum Refineries and 02 Petrochemical Plants installed in Brazil whose results will be presented in this summary.
