The TANKS program employs a chemical database of over 100 organic

Program Capabilities TANKS uses chemical, meteorological, roof fitting, and rim seal data The program includes on-line help for every screen.Īudience TANKS is designed for use by local, state, and federal agencies,Įnvironmental consultants, and others who need to calculate air pollutantĮmissions from organic liquid storage tanks. The user's manual, available in AdobeĪcrobat format and WordPerfect, explains the many features and options of On the emission estimation procedures from ChapterĮmission Factors (AP-42). What Is TANKS? TANKS is a Windows-based computer software program thatĮstimates volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant (HAP)Įmissions from fixed- and floating-roof storage tanks. Errors and fixes in 4.09D - Please see the information regarding monthly emissions results in TANKS.

The equations specified in AP-42 Chapter 7 () can be employed with many current spreadsheet/software programs. We will continue to recommend the use of the equations/algorithms specified in AP-42 Chapter 7 for estimating VOC emissions from storage tanks. The model will remain on the website to be used at your discretion and at your own risk. Therefore, we can no longer provide assistance to users of TANKs 4.09d. We are anticipating that additional problems will arise as PCs switch to the other operating systems. Because of this, the model is not reliably functional on computers using certain operating systems such as Windows Vista or Windows 7.
