    Why Recover Petrol Vapour in Petrol Filling Stations?: Volatile Organic Compounds (Vocs)

    Uploaded by

    zulfitra
    Petrol contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate and cause air pollution when released during unloading and refuelling. To reduce VOC emissions, regulations require petrol stations to install vapour recovery systems to capture petrol vapour (Phase I for unloading, Phase II for refuelling). All stations now have these systems, which are tested and certified, and Phase II uses special nozzles to recover vapour during refuelling.

    Why Recover Petrol Vapour

    in Petrol Filling Stations?

     Petrol contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that


    evaporate in fuel tanks
     During unloading petrol to underground storage tank and
    refueling vehicle, petrol vapour is released to atmosphere
     VOCs from petrol vapour will enhance the formation of
    ozone and fine particulates in the atmosphere, thus
    causing smog
     VOCs from petrol vapour contains benzene (a
    carcinogen), thus presenting a potential health risk to the
    public
     Smell of VOCs can be a nuisance to people nearby

    Vapour Recovery in Petrol Filling Stations

     In 1999, the Air Pollution Control (Petrol Filling


    Stations)(Vapour Recovery) Regulation was
    introduced
     Petrol filling stations were required to install a
    system to recover petrol vapour emitted during
    unloading of petrol into the underground storage
    tank (Phase I vapour recovery system)
     All stations now have Phase I vapour recovery
    system

     The Air Pollution Control (Petrol Filling Stations)


    (Vapour Recovery) Regulation was amended in
    2004 to require petrol filling stations to install a
    system to recover petrol vapour emitted during
    vehicle refueling (Phase II vapour recovery system)
     The amended Regulation has become effective on
    31 March 2005

    Certificate at Stations with Vapour
    Recovery System

    If a station has
    installed a vapour
    recovery system
    which passes the
    required tests, it will
    have this certificate
    posted at the station.

     Holes to suck petrol vapour back to
    underground storage tank
     Vapour guard to prevent vapour release
