Experts of the Ministry of Ecology familiarized withoperation of the system for fuel vapor recuperation at the oil delivery terminal of “TATNEFT” OJSC

Experts of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan inspected the system for collection and recuperation of fuel vaporsat theoil delivery terminalof “TATNEFT” OJSC of Tukaevo district.
Today, equipment of gas filling stations is carried out by companies in two principal ways: the first one is to equip gas filling stations directly with systems for collection and recuperation of fuel vapors. The second way is to equip gas filling stations with recuperation systemsto ensure return of gas vapors into the road tank during discharge of oil products into reservoirs, as well as implementation at oil delivery terminals of the systems for airproof bottom loading of fuel into road tanks and recuperation of vapors of oil products.Considering that burst releases from the so called “out-breathing”, i.e. the fuel storage reservoirs, significantly influence the level of air pollution,the second option implies solution of the given problems both at gas filling stations and at oil delivery terminals.
Modern technologies of collection and recuperation of fuel vaporsallow both to reduce loss of oil and oil products, as well as to collect them and return discharges of vapor-air mixture carbohydrates during loading/unloading operations back to containers in the form of market products, and also to decrease the negative impact on the environment.
In the Republic of Tatarstan, great attention is paid to minimization and prevention of negative man-inducedimpact on the environment from stationary and mobile sourcesthat make considerable contribution into air pollution, and also to assurance of ecological safety in cities and rural settlements of the Republic.
The events carried out by companies in order to decrease the loss of carbohydratesproduce economic effect, and, moreover, they are important for assurance of environmental protectionand health of the population, as well as ecological safety in the Republic of Tatarstan in general.
