Abstract:

the article presents a practical calculation of the loss of automobile gasoline from "big breaths" for a RVS-5000 tank at a gas station complex. Based on the guidelines for students of the "Oil and Gas Engineering" field, a step-by-step calculation was performed that takes into account the technological parameters of the tank, the properties of gasoline, the operating modes, and the characteristics of the breathing equipment. As a result, the amount of loss per "big breath" cycle was determined to be approximately 1465 kg of gasoline when a volume of 2775 m³ was pumped. The calculation illustrates the influence of such factors as changes in the gas space of the tank, the temperature of the petroleum product, the settings of the breathing valves, and the duration of technological operations. The obtained data highlight the importance of accounting for evaporation losses for the economic and environmental efficiency of gas station operation. The article can be used in the educational process when training specialists in the oil and gas sector, as well as in the practical activities of engineers and designers.
