Environmental performance 

The VPS meets the worlds most stringent environmental legislation:

• German TA-Luft 

• NER (Dutch Emission Guidelines)

• EU Directive 94/63/EC 
  

Due to the fully controlled combustion process, all VOC’s in hazardous petrochemical vapours are processed. The VPS complies with the German TA-Luft standard, which is considered as the strictest norm in the world. The production of electricity out of harmful emissions, combined with an enormous reduction on the traditional energy consumption, assists you in creating a sustainable operation. 

Economics 

The VPS is designed to minimize operational costs. Because the system is fully automatic and remote controlled, no operating personnel is required. The VPS mainly consists of standardized components, such as its engine and generator. Maintenance is done by local mechanics. By far the most significant aspect however is the positive energy balance attained by the process as the VPS generates electricity. A return on excise duty can be granted by the authorities when processing taxed gasoline vapours. 

Flexibility 

The VPS is very flexible in its operations. More than 80 different product vapours can be converted into electricity simultaneously. We offer one universal system to tackle many problems. By using different application sizes we can install a solution for every throughput, small or large; at truck, barge or rail tank-filling. The VPS makes you much more independent as an electricity consumer; it can therefore also be applied for peak shaving at high rate periods and as a back-up power unit. 

The ultimate solution

IPCO Power in the Netherlands has developed the unique VPS for the handling of vapour emissions that erupts when loading and discharging petrochemicals at chemical plants, tank storage facilities or refineries.
