Glossary:Vented emissions

PetroWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Gas released into the atmosphere intentionally from processes or activities that are designed to do it, or unintentionally when equipment malfunctions or operations are not normal.[1]

(Note - In the case of transmission and distribution grids, unintentional vented emissions during not normal operation cover also vents due to external interference (third-party damage), ground movements, over pressure, etc.)
