Recovering gas vapors from tank batteries is not a new application for most owners and operators of oil and gas production companies and crude oil storage tank facilities. However, there have been questions as to the economic feasibility for the installation of Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) on tank batteries.
In recent times, though, regulations required by the Clean Air Act (CAA), and increasing environmental regulations by the EPA are now impacting the requirements to recover these Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Additionally, through more efficient VRU designs, there can be positive return on investment.
