Landing Loss Emissions

Introduction

Landing losses occur from floating-roof tanks whenever the tank is drained to a level where its roof lands on its dec
When a floating roof lands on its supports or legs, it creates a vapor space underneath the roof. Liquid remaining i

as standing idle losses, occur daily as long as the tank roof remains landed.

Additional emissions occur when incoming stock liquid fills a tank with a landed roof; the incoming liquid not only dis
generates its own set of vapors that are displaced during the filling process. These two types of emissions are colle

For a given roof landing event, total landing loss emissions are therefore the sum of the filling losses and the daily s

Currently, no storage tank emissions software, including EPA's TANKS program, determines landing loss emissions

Required Data for Landing Loss Emissions Determinations

After you have correctly determined your tank type, you must collect the following information about the tank and its

tank diameter

tank color

height of the vapor space under the floating roof

height of the stock liquid

atmospheric pressure at the tank's location

average temperature of the vapor and liquid below the floating roof

For a given tank, you can then use this information in conjunction with the appropriate standing idle and filling loss e
