SYMEX VAPOUR RECOVERY SYSTEMS (VRS)

Function
Treatment by recuperative techniques of pollutant vapours containing VOCs (Volatile Organic Components).

Symex VRS provide:

• Increased safety on the Terminal by recovering a potentially explosive mixtures.
• Protection of the environment by drastically reducing the VOC emissions on their Terminal.
• Protection of the health of the staff, neighbours and visitors who are exposed to these toxic vapours.
• Prevention of product vapour losses, turning them into a valuable liquid product.

Applications

• Emissions related to the the handling of Petrochemical and chemical products: Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, Olefi ns, Aromatics (BTX), Alcohol’s, Crude oils, Naphtha and Ethers…
• Loading / Unloading Operations of trucks, rail cars, sea going vessels & barges.
• Storage Tank Farm (Tank Breathing, tank to tank transfer).
• H2S removal.

Advantages

The SYMEX Technology, if installed and maintained properly, represents numerous advantages.

• The energy consumption reduced to the minimum by using frequency controlled vacuum pumps enabling a fl exible vacuum capacity proportional to the mass of hydrocarbon to be treated.
• The dry screw technology allows treatment of a wide range of hydrocarbons molecules.
• The life time of the Activated Carbon is improved due to the controlled regeneration technology, which is providing a balanced hydrocarbon charge on the Carbon in adsorption and regeneration phase. In combination with an improved and proprietary vapour distribution system inside the activated carbon beds the dust-formation is limited to a minimum.
• The systems are simple, compact and easy to operate and maintain.
• Symex’ References of the Dry Screw Technology are available since 1999.
• The system is designed explosion proof and complies with ATEX regulation.
