  • eCalc version 8.13: Updated definition of VENTING_EMITTERS. New mandatory keyword TYPE is defining the venting emitter type. Based on the selected type, the new keywords EMISSIONS (TYPE: DIRECT_EMISSION) or VOLUME (TYPE: OIL_VOLUME) should be specified.
  • eCalc version 8.8: Updated definition of VENTING_EMITTERS. New keyword EMISSION is replacing EMITTER_MODEL and EMISSION_NAME. Now possible to define UNIT and TYPE for emission rate.
  • eCalc version 8.7: VENTING_EMITTERS keyword is replacing the DIRECT_EMITTERS keyword.
  • eCalc version 8.6 and earlier: Use DIRECT_EMITTERS as before.

eCalc version 8.7 and before: Description​

The VENTING_EMITTERS keyword covers the direct emissions on the installation that are not consuming energy. The attributes NAME, EMISSION_NAME, CATEGORY and EMITTER_MODEL are required.

Format​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    EMISSION_NAME: <emission name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    EMITTER_MODEL: <emitter model>

Example​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: SomeVentingEmitter
    EMISSION_NAME: CH4
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    EMITTER_MODEL:
      <emitter model data>

  - NAME: SomeOtherVentingEmitter
    EMISSION_NAME: C2H6
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    EMITTER_MODEL:
      <emitter model data>

eCalc from version 8.8: Description​

The attributes NAME, CATEGORY and EMISSION are required.

Format​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    EMISSION:
      <emission data>

Example​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: SomeVentingEmitter
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    EMISSION:
      <emission data>
  ...
  - NAME: SomeOtherVentingEmitter
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    EMISSION:
      <emission data>

eCalc from version 8.13: Description​

The keywords NAME, CATEGORY and TYPE are required. The venting emitter type can be either DIRECT_EMISSION or OIL_VOLUME.

The keywords EMISSIONS or VOLUME are required, dependent on which venting emitter type is used.

Venting emitter of TYPE DIRECT_EMISSION: Specify emission rates directly.

Format​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    TYPE: DIRECT_EMISSION
    EMISSIONS:
      <emission data>

Example​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: SomeVentingEmitter
    CATEGORY: COLD-VENTING-FUGITIVE
    TYPE: DIRECT_EMISSION
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: co2
        RATE:
          VALUE: 4
          UNIT: KG_PER_DAY
          TYPE: STREAM_DAY

        RATE:
          VALUE: 2
          UNIT: KG_PER_DAY
          TYPE: STREAM_DAY

Venting emitter of TYPE OIL_VOLUME: Specify oil loading/storage volumes, and emission factors - to calculate emissions as fractions of the volume.

Format​

VENTING_EMITTERS:
  - NAME: <emitter name>
    CATEGORY: <category>
    TYPE: OIL_VOLUME
    VOLUME:
      <oil volumes/rates and emission factors>
