Abstract

In This paper SO₂, CO and NO₂ emissions values were estimated in one gas sweetening plant in Iran by EPA and CAPP emission factors. The results showed that SO₂ was main pollutant gas in gas sweetening plant. Near to 100% of this gas was emitted from acid gas flare. Just 2.2% of NO₂ and 9% of CO were emitted from gas flares and reminding was emitted from boilers. For this study activity base emission factors for SO₂, CO and NO₂ were determined 84.2, 110.6 and 54894 g/t feed respectively.
