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…
Storage Tank Farm (Tank Breathing, tank to tank transfer).
H2S removal.
Principle
Adsorption on Activated Carbon.
Regeneration by dry screw vacuum pumps.
Re-Absorption of the concentrated vapours in one of the products of the terminal.
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.
