Abstract:

The abstract presents the results of a comprehensive calculation of the technological processes of a gas station complex. The purpose of the work was the practical application of engineering methods for the quantitative assessment of key operational parameters of filling stations. Based on option No. 30, three main indicators were calculated sequentially: gasoline losses from "big breaths" of the tank, the time of fuel draining from the tanker truck, and the volume of leakage through the corrosive fistula. As a result, it was found that losses during one cycle of "big breathing" can reach 1,720 kg, which confirms the need to introduce vapor capture systems to reduce economic and environmental damage. It was determined that the duration of discharge from a tanker truck is about 35 minutes, which is an important factor for optimizing logistics and minimizing downtime. The leak calculation showed that even through a fistula with a diameter of 2 mm, up to 1.01 m3 of fuel can be lost in 13.7 hours, which underlines the critical importance of regular monitoring of the integrity of the tank farm. The results obtained demonstrate a direct relationship between the accuracy of technological calculations, operational efficiency and environmental safety of filling stations. The practical value of the work lies in the possibility of using the above methods and conclusions in the design, audit and optimization of filling stations, as well as in the development of measures to reduce operational losses and prevent emergencies.
