API EI MPMS 19.5-2009 pdf free download.Atmospheric hydrocarbon emissions from marine vessel transfer operations.

1 Scope This standard provides methods for estimating evaporative loss from marine vessel transfer operations. Specifically, this standard addresses: 1) loading stock into: a) ship or ocean barges, or b) shallow draft barges, and 2) loading ballast water into ship or ocean barges from which crude oil has been unloaded. The emission estimates are for uncontrolled loading operations and do not apply to operations using vapor balance or vapor control systems or ballasting of ships with segregated ballast tanks. This standard does not address evaporative loss for: 1) very large crude carriers (VLCCs) or ultra large crude carriers (ULCCs) (unless the saturation factor K S is determined); 2) marine vessels employing crude oil washing (see 3.3.1); 3) marine vessel transit loss; 4) loading ballast water into marine vessels that, prior to dockside unloading, held anything other than crude oil (unless the saturation factor K S is determined); or 5) unloading marine vessels. This standard supersedes API 2514A, Second Edition, September 1981, which is withdrawn. 2 References [1] American Petroleum Institute, Recommended Practice for Specification of Evaporative Losses, Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 19, Section 4, Second Edition, September 2005 [2] American Petroleum Institute, Publication 2524, Impact Assessment of New Data on the Validity of American Petroleum Institute Marine Transfer Operation Emission Factors, July 1992 [3] American Petroleum Institute, Publication 2514A, Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Emissions from Marine Vessel Transfer Operations, Second Edition, September 1981 [4] Spectrasyne Ltd., “Studies of VOC Emissions from External Floating Roof Tanks and Barge Loading— November 1993,” Spectrasyne Report No. TR9413, prepared for CONCAWE, Brussels, Belgium, June 13, 1994 [5] CONCAWE, “VOC Emissions from External Floating Roof Tanks: Comparison of Remote Measurements by Laser with Calculated Methods,” CONCAWE Report No. 95/52, January 1995

Nonvolatile cargo includes fuel oils such as No. 2 fuel oil (diesel) and No. 6 fuel oil. 3.2.2 volatile cargo Cargo with a true vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia.
3.3.1.2 cleaned compartment A compartment that has been water washed. 3.3.1.3 crude oil washing The use of a high pressure stream of crude oil or cutter stock, usually heated, to dislodge or dissolve clingage and sediments from bulkheads, compartment bottoms, and internal structures of a vessel during the discharge operation. [7] 3.3.1.4 gas-freed compartment A compartment that has been cleaned and air-blown, such that the compartment is suitable for entry and hot work such as welding. 3.3.1.5 uncleaned compartment A compartment that has had no treatment except routine heel washing (washing restricted to the lower part of the compartment). 3.3.2 Cargo Compartment Condition Prior to Dockside Crude Oil Unloading 3.3.2.1 fully-loaded compartment A compartment with a true ullage height of 5 ft or less prior to dockside crude oil unloading. 3.3.2.2 lightered or previously short-loaded compartment A compartment with a true ullage of more than 5 ft prior to dockside crude oil unloading. 3.4 Miscellaneous Terminology 3.4.1 lightered Partially unloaded before reaching the dock. 3.4.2 ullage The unfilled volume of a compartment.
