Gasoline evaporative losses from retail gasoline outlets across Canada, 2009

The survey of industrial processes (SIP) is a pilot survey conducted to assess the feasibility of collecting data on operational activities and engineering processes of small and medium enterprises (SME) across Canada. For the 2009 reference period, the SIP pilot survey results presented general statistics for all retail gasoline outlets, including marinas with gas docks, across Canada.

Statistics Canada has completed assessing the utility of the data collected from this pilot survey for estimating gasoline evaporative losses from retail gasoline outlets. Mathematical models were applied to the survey data to calculate losses of gasoline due to evaporation. The estimates addressed evaporative losses associated with gasoline truck deliveries, storage tanks, vehicle refuelling, and other operational activities.

To be released January 23, 2012 (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 16-001-M).

Industrial Water Use, 2009

The information collected for the Industrial Water Survey measures, by volume, the sources of water used, the purposes of water use, whether or not water was re-circulated or re-used, where the water was discharged, the types of treatments applied to intake water prior to use and the types of treatments applied to wastewater prior to discharge. Water acquisition costs, treatment costs and operating and maintenance expenses related to water intake and discharge are also collected.

The results of this survey are used in the development of environmental accounts, aid in tracking the state of stocks of water and contribute to national indicators of water quality.

To be released in the spring of 2012 (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 16-401-X).
