The optimization of development process of petrol-gas stations network with the purpose to increase energy efficiency

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONThe strategy of building and development of any retail trade chain is a multivariate permanent management process. Retail network of multi-service stations imposes on this process a significant number of additional conditions and functions, the most important of which are the factors of influence on the environment. The number of laws and regulations governing the procedures and control mechanisms is colossal, and the number of technical parameters describing the environmental impact and governing of technical processes is enormous.A network of petrol and gas stations in addition to providing consumers with oil products, which themselves are a threat to the environment, is obliged to protect staff, customers, neighboring households and industrial facilities, and to ensure a minimum level of impact on the environment (water, air and soil).The development strategy cannot be limited to the description of technical methods, because such formulaic solutions describe the common cases, and they are not tailored to the specific location of the object and the features of its environment. Business effects of the strategy can be offset by problems caused during the exploitation of petrol/ gas stations network, while the errors in the design Publication: 20. 11. 2014. of standard solutions can be multiplied on the entire network and the region.The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility for application of DPSIR methodology in the design and exploitation of petrol/gas stations network on purpose to increase energy efficiency and corrosion protection of tankers.

Biomimicry Approach Design of Petrol Stations With Integrating Renewable Energy in the Uae

“…Researchers in Europe, such as Pasi [7], Morales-Terrés et al [8] and Ohlrogge and Wind [9], have focused on assessing the environmental impact of petrol stations rather than concerns regarding their energy use. Jovanović et al [10] studied the topic of energy efficiency of petrol stations and the use of renewable energy for covering their energy demands. Abdullahi and Adedayo [11] investigated reducing the petrol station resources including raw materials, water, and energy for a petrol station in Nigeria.…”
