Vapour recovery unit for terminals and refineries
Efficiently capture and recover valuable hydrocarbons from gas streams, meeting stringent emission limits while optimizing product yield with this advanced vapour recovery technology.
Recovers and Purifies Hydrocarbon Vapors
The BORSIG Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) integrates cutting-edge membrane technology and robust engineering to deliver efficient hydrocarbon recovery in refineries and petrochemical facilities. Featuring a combination of liquid ring compressors, scrubber columns, membrane stages, and vacuum pumps, this unit effectively processes gas streams through absorption, condensation, and membrane separation. The VRU is ideal for terminals handling gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, as well as chemical processing plants dealing with aromatic compounds like benzene and toluene. Designed for continuous, fully automated operation, the system’s modular, skid-mounted architecture ensures easy integration and scalability to fit specific site requirements. Engineered with high-quality materials, including stainless steel, it promises low maintenance and high reliability. This unit meets customer codes and standards, supporting energy-efficient processes that enhance environmental compliance and product recovery, all while ensuring safe operation with an inherently explosion-proof design.
