Analysis of the Emissions from Storage Tanks during JP-4 Fuel Transfer Operations. Phase I. Warm Weather Conditions.

Abstract

This report summarizes the warm weather phase of a program to measure the concentration of JP-4 vapor that is emitted to the atmosphere during filling of underground storage tanks. Tests were conducted with and without pressure - vacuum breather valves. Samples were analyzed by a portable total hydrocarbon analyzer containing a flame ionization detector. Data was recorded at one minute intervals during the fuel transfer operations. All data was collected during August and September 1978 from 50,000 gallon underground JP-4 fuel storage tanks at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. (Author)
