Case Studies
Client: Petrochemical Refinery
Location: Deer Park, Texas
Project Type: Vapor Control – Sludge Processing
Project Description :
Provided on-site vapor control using mobile vapor combustrion technology to control petrochemical vapors emitted from chemical sludge processing activities. GEM MTS mobilized MVCU equipment to the target tank and provided control over fugitive emissions from a 150-feet diameter above ground storage tank, centrifuge and mix tanks. A mobile vapor combustor was used to destroy chemical vapors while the sludge was mixed and centrifuged. The vapors from the sludge contained significant concentrations of BTEX and other related volatile organic compounds. Also, the target above ground tank was degassed at the conclusion of the chemical sludge removal activities.
Permitting: TCEQ
Vapor Source(s): BTEX and other related volatile organic compounds
Equipment Used: 42MBtu/hr MVCU
Cost Benefits: Low Bidder
Advantage: Able to meet project capacity & exceed schedule requirements
