Automatic monitoring of pollutants at oil-producing facilities.

Oil is the primary energy source worldwide. Moderate prices for oil and oil products along with large volumes of its production led to quite substantial losses, the consequences of which were pollution of the atmosphere, ground, soil as well as water bodies. The environment components (the atmosphere, surface and groundwater, relief, soil and vegetation cover, wildlife) are most negatively affected during the development and exploitation of oil and gas fields. This paper provides a justification for the need to introduce automatic control systems: oil and oil products bottling on soils and terrain, in the territories of oil production facilities and emissions of pollutants ("greenhouse" gases) on flare systems at the field. The work defines the response time and quantity of oil product bottling before the implementation of the automatic oil bottling control system and after its implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed complex using a sensor cable TT5000-HS on the basis of calculations of oil volumes entering the soil in case of oil leakage during oil pipeline depressurization due to accidents, before and after the introduction of an automatic system of monitoring and time of leak detection has been proved. The qualitative and quantitative composition of emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air during combustion of APG on a torch at the field for 20 years is calculated. The introduction of an automatic emission control plant for the combustion of associated petroleum gas will make it possible to assess in a timely manner the qualitative and quantitative composition of pollutants emissions into the atmosphere on the flare systems of the deposit, as well as to prevent exceeding the standard indicator of associated petroleum gas combustion, to fulfill the RF legislation requirements and provide control of "greenhouse gases" volume in the world generally. The use of new materials as gas analyzers for carbon monoxide makes such a system unique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
