The storage and loading of (petro)chemical products leads to the generation of hazardous vapours. These vapours are harmful to the environment and mankind. In the past, these vapours have been released into the atmosphere in an uncontrolled way, resulting in atmospheric pollution and product losses. 

Emissions that occur during the loading, discharging and storage of (petro)chemical liquids contain ‘Volatile Organic Compounds’ (VOC). Some of these VOC emissions from petrochemical are classified as toxic, carcinogenic or teratogenic. These emissions represent a significant contribution to air pollution especially in and around urban areas. Throughout the world legislative authorities are increasingly focusing on the detrimental effect of these VOC emissions.

Vapour Processing System (VPS)

The Vapour Processing System (VPS) is designed to reduce the VOC emissions with 99,9%. At the same time the VPS contributes to the sustainable development of bulk-handling companies by reducing their electricity consumption. The VPS consists of a modified gas engine with a continuous dual fuel device and is controlled by a specially designed engine, generator and fuel management system. The VPS operates as a fully automatic device. As soon as any hazardous vapour is detected the system starts operating.

(Working capacity as standalone unit with buffer up to 600 m3/h, with a combination of technologies  up to 2000 m3/h)
