Work discharge is a loss due to man-made loading and unloading.As a result of loading, when the pressure in the tank exceeds the release pressure, the vapor is pressed out of the tank.The discharging loss occurs when the liquid level is discharged and the air is pumped into the tank, expanding as the air becomes saturated with organic vapor, thus exceeding the capacity of the vapor space to accommodate it.
The operating discharge of fixed-top tanks can be estimated from the following equation:
LW=4.188×10^-7×M×P×KN×KC
Formula: LW - loss of operation of fixed roof tank (input of Kg/m3);KN-turnover factor (dimensionless) is determined by the number of turns per year (K).Turnover times = annual input / tank capacity;K<=36, KN=1;36220, KN=0.26
