VOC EMISSION FROM PETROCHEMICAL PLANT

[tmc1]

I work in a HDPE petrochemical plant. Can anybody help by educating me the way to estimate the quantity of VOC (mainly ethylene, isobutane, hexene) fugitive emissions to the atmosphere through compressors, rotary valves, pipe flanges, control valves and other process equipment. Hydrocarbon releases to atmosphere without combustion are slowly becoming an environmental issue. Appreciate you guys assistance.
