Environmental Research in the Petroleum Refining Industry
Our engineers and scientists have an in-depth understanding of the emissions, emissions control technologies, process operations, and process optimization opportunities for the petroleum refining industry. We have worked closely with EPA and the U.S. petroleum refining industry to develop and implement environmental standards that affect refinery operations.
We offer petroleum refineries and petrochemical complexes a comprehensive range of environmental services, including
- Identifying and characterizing refinery emission sources and waste streams
- Performing risk assessments for these pollutant streams
- Evaluating current and alternative control strategies and pollution prevention measures
- Developing pollution control costs
- Recommending appropriate alternatives on the basis of their environmental impact and cost effectiveness
Our experts analyze the environmental and economic impacts of proposed environmental regulation alternatives for oil refineries, and we characterize product markets, especially in the transportation sector, and estimate the economic impacts of air regulations for mobile and stationary sources.
