Segurança das operações com controle de emissão de compostos orgânicos voláteis

Abstract

Volatile organic compounds are chemical compounds that have carbon in their chemical structure and photochemical reactions in its gaseous state at room temperature and pressure. The impacts resulting from the emission of volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere result in consequences to human health, exposing people, the biotic environment and the physical environment. These impacts range from respiratory problems in people to the problems of contamination of soil and water by being one of the pioneers of acid rain, in addition to being one of those responsible for the smog effect which directly impacts the processes of photosynthesis. For this reason it is necessary monitoring and control of these emissions. Disered to show the vessel and its various pollution-causing factors. Consequencies over an operational routine as in any other industry. This work presents a summary of the operational procedures in the operation of loading and unloading, as well as voyage fase until a port of calls for this kind of tanker where its take a approach of some technologies applied on board to VOC recovery, it is a important source of VOC emissions of planet.
