DESCRIPTION
Vapour Processing: 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. IPCO Power's Vapour Recovery technologies will reduce your VOC emissions. IPCO Power’s product range for Vapour Processing consist of the Vapour Processing (VPS), Refrigerated Vapour Recovery System (RVRS) and the ECOVOC Catalytic Oxidation System. The Vapour Processing System (VPS) is designed to reduce these 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) The Refrigerated Vapour Recovery System (RVRS) is a flexible solution to reduce the VOC emissions and is available in mobile and fixed version. The system recovers clean product from the vapours without reportable emissions. PURGIT RVRS uses a proprietary system that condenses and recovers tank vapours. Depending on the application PURGIT's condensers are capable to recover over 99% of the VOC. The RVRS is able to cool down the vapours to approximately -120˚C. For tank loading/discharging the PURGIT system can be geared to draw displaced vapours out of the tank with a blower and then push them through condensers. Final treatment of the vapours is achieved with re-usable active carbon. There is no combustion whit in the process which allows this system to operate in a larger number of areas than any other system. The PURGIT RVRS can also degas atmospheric or inert tanks and barges (low or zero O2) and keep it inert throughout the operation. Close Loop Tank degassing with the RVRS is completely safe and the tank can be inerted during the process. Condensing and removal of the VOC in the tank or barge will continue until the required LEL level is reached. (Working capacity for tank loading/discharging and degassing is between 100 m3/h and 4500 m3/h)TRANSCRIPT
