Petroleum Vapour Recovery (VRU Systems)

Specialized Activated Carbon for Hydrocarbon Vapour Control

Hydrocarbon vapours released during fuel storage and handling must be captured for environmental compliance, safety, and product recovery. SORB-TECH supplies specialized vapour-phase activated carbons for vapour recovery units (VRUs).

Typical Applications

  • Petroleum storage terminals
  • Fuel loading and unloading facilities
  • Tank breathing and vent systems
  • Vapour recovery units (VRUs)
  • Marine and bulk fuel terminals

Technology Overview

VRU systems use activated carbon with high microporosity to adsorb hydrocarbon vapours. High Butane Working Capacity (BWC) carbons are engineered specifically for gasoline vapour recovery applications.

Performance Benefits

  • High adsorption capacity for hydrocarbon vapours
  • Efficient recovery of valuable fuel vapours
  • Reduced VOC emissions and environmental impact
  • Optimized performance in cyclic adsorption/desorption systems
  • Long service life and mechanical durability

Industries Served

  • Oil and gas terminals
  • Fuel storage and distribution companies
  • Petrochemical plants
  • Marine and bulk fuel handling facilities

Dedicated Supplier of High-Quality Adsorbents.
