Atmospheric Concentration Saturated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons Around Dura Refinery

Abstract

Abstract The process of oil reproducing in the refinery considered as one of the largest industrial facilities responsible for the emission of many pollutants into the air and works to pollute the air surrounding the refinery. Hydrocarbons are among the most important pollutants emitted into the air from oil recycling operations and should be studied to reduce the proportions of hazardous pollutants. As the pollution caused by the burning of fuel in the chimneys of the refinery Dora is a dangerous contaminant to the environment, where the exposure of substances and pollutants that lead to disruption of the balance of the natural elements of the atmosphere and thus harmful to human and sustainability. The aim of this study is to study the concentration of hydrocarbon contaminants that cause air pollution caused by stacks of fireplaces in Doura refinery. The rates of the most dangerous contaminants on the human respiratory system, which cause dry cough, bronchitis, chest pain and shortness of breath, were studied as a study of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen oxides. In this research, a large number of analyzes, tests and certification were carried out on periodic tests provided by the Doura refinery after repeated field visits to examine concentrations of contaminants present in the atmosphere. Where the maximum distance of pollutant concentration from the source was found, as well as a comprehensive study of an integrated set of weather conditions such as wind speed and climate effects to preserve and sustain the environment.
