How to recover vapours

A typical vapour recovery installation consists of three main elements:

1

The Vapour Collection System

2 The Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) [ READ MORE ]
3 The Absorbent System [ READ MORE ]

The vapour collection system routes the vapours from the emission source to the VRU.

In the VRU, vapours are separated into concentrated hydrocarbons and clean air. Most systems require a constant flow of an absorbent (usually gasoline) to absorb and condense the recovered hydrocarbons.
