Development of an operational environmental monitoring system for hazardous industrial facilities of Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy

Abstract

Abstract The article presents an assessment of the technogenic impact on the atmospheric air inflicted by oil and gas extracting and processing facilities in Western Siberia. It is revealed that heterogeneity and areal dispersion of emission sources are the key features of the considered industry. Mathematical statistics techniques allowed grouping sources of air pollution and determining the major air pollutants at the considered production facilities. It is proposed to design an automated operational environmental monitoring system with a hierarchical two-level structure for operational and reliable control of the natural environment in the impact area of the studied facilities.
