Vapor Recovery Units

Understanding Vapor Recovery Units:

Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) are critical components in the oil and gas industry, designed to recover vapors that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere. These units play a pivotal role in environmental conservation by capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hydrocarbon emissions.

How VRUs Work:

At their core, VRUs operate by creating a pressure differential. This process involves pulling vapor from a storage tank or other source, compressing it, and then either returning it to the process or storing it for sale or use. This not only prevents harmful emissions but also recovers valuable hydrocarbons for further use.

Benefits of Vapor Recovery:

• Environmental Compliance: With stringent regulations on VOC emissions, VRUs are essential for meeting environmental standards.
• Economic Advantage: By recovering valuable hydrocarbons, VRUs turn potential waste into profit.
• Operational Efficiency: Modern VRUs are designed for minimal maintenance and operational downtime, ensuring continuous and efficient operations.
• Safety Enhancements: By reducing the volume of vapors, VRUs lower the risk of fire hazards and contribute to safer working conditions.

Applications in Various Sectors:

Vapor Recovery Units find applications across several domains in the oil and gas industry, including upstream production sites, midstream storage facilities, and downstream refineries. Each application has its specific requirements and our VRUs are tailored to meet these diverse needs.

Customization and Integration:

Understanding that each facility has unique requirements, we offer customizable VRUs that can be integrated into existing systems. Our team of experts works closely with clients to ensure that each unit is tailored to their specific operational needs.
