Measured data on NOx, emissions in European refineries

Report no. 6/86: Recent NO concentration measurements provided by CONCAWE member companies, confirm earlier estimates of oil refinery NOx emissions. For 1985, emissions from refineries are calculat...

US experience of hydrocarbon and NOx, emissions control

Report no. 86/70: This paper summarises the presentation given by Dr L.J. McCabe in October 1985 at the CONCAWE Seminar on "Atmospheric emissions and their effects on the environment in Europe with pa...

The relationship between automotive diesel fuel characteristics and engine performance

Report no. 86/65: This report discusses the influence of diesel fuel characteristics on emissions and performance, with particular emphasis on the effect of changing fuel properties on exhaust emissio...

Residue hydrodesulphurization investment and operating costs

Report no. 4/86: In view of the continuing interest in the costs of desulphuriration in connection with possible sulphur control strategies, CONCAWE has updated the costs of residue hydrodesulphurirst...

Sulphur emissions from combustion of residual fuel oil based on EEC energy demand and supply 1980-2000

Report no. 5/86: An assessment has been made of the energy consumption and oil combustion related sulphur emissions in the period 1980-2000 for the EEC-I0 countries. The possibility of further sulp...

Volatile organic compound emissions: an inventory for Western Europe

Report no. 2/86: This report gives details of an inventory compiled by Concawe and covering man-made non-methane volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in Western Europe. The survey shows that t...

Proceedings of the Concawe seminar on atmospheric emissions and their effects on the environment in Europe with particular reference to the role of hydrocarbons

Report no. 86/61: Forest die-back on a large scale in Europe and North America has led to renewed investigations into the role of air pollution and its ecological impact. Essential elements in the...

Review of European oil industry benzene exposure data

Report no. 3/86: This report summarises data on exposure to benzene during the manufacture end distribution of gasoline in Europe. Exposures in various types of jobs are reviewed against the 8-hourtim...

Effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on the nervous system

Report no. 86/51: Recently it has been claimed that long-term exposure to low levels of petroleum hydrocarbons may impair behaviour and memory. This claim has led t o an appraisal of the effect of...

Workplace noise and hearing conservation

Report no. 7/85: Prolonged and repeated exposure to loud noise can cause permanent damage to hearing, resulting in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). In the work environment prevention of NIHL may...

Cost of control of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulates emissions from large combustion plants in oil refineries

Report no. 7/84: This report presents the results of a study on the cost of controlling emissions of SO, NOx and particulates from oil refineries by flue gas treatment. Reductions of emissions have...
