Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing attention towards environmental regulations to minimize air emissions. That is mainly because the connection between air quality, rising global temperatures, and the human health is better understood. According to The World Health Organizations, one third of fatalities from heart disease, lung cancer and stroke are linked to air pollution.
In addition to regulatory requirements for VOCs, particulate matter, and the recent attention to greenhouse gas emissions, there are new regulations that require refineries to monitor benzene emissions at the fence line. This is to ensure the concentration of emissions leaving the fence is in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. High efficiency waste gas combustion provided by Questor Technology, ensure zero fence line harmful emissions by dealing cleanly with the emissions at each process unit.
The deployment of 99.99% verified clean combustion technology ensures zero harmful emissions at the fence line at the same time as reducing capital and operating costs and improving facility safety.
