| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper, the robust satellite techniques (RST), a multi-temporal scheme
of satellite data analysis, was implemented to analyze the flaring activity
of the Val d'Agri Oil Center (COVA), the largest Italian gas and oil
pre-treatment plant, owned by Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi (ENI). For this
site, located in an anthropized area characterized by a large environmental
complexity, flaring emissions are mainly related to emergency conditions
(i.e., waste flaring), as industrial processes are regulated by strict
regional laws. While regarding the peculiar characteristics of COVA
flaring, the main aim of this work was to assess the performances of RST in
terms of sensitivity and reliability in providing independent estimations of
gas flaring volumes in such conditions. In detail, RST was implemented for
13 years of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
medium and thermal infrared data in order to identify the highly radiant
records associated with the COVA flare emergency discharges. Then, using
data provided by ENI about gas flaring volumes in the period 2003–2009, a
MODIS-based regression model was developed and tested. The results achieved
indicate that the such a model is able to estimate, with a good level of
accuracy (R2 of 0.83), emitted gas flaring volumes at COVA. |
