Challenge
A refinery’s primary flare for the onsite tank farm was being taken offline for emergency maintenance. Envent provided a thermal oxidizer capable of destroying vapors during this maintenance period. The vapors of over 10 tanks were routed to Envent’s thermal oxidizer during this time.
Solution
Envent was able to correctly size a thermal oxidizer capable of handling the concentrated vapor stream from all the tanks. Envent was also able to respond within 4 hours, which ensured the customer stayed within the site’s emissions permit. Envent handled the emissions for this facility for an entire month until the primary flare was returned to service.
Benefit
The facility was able to continue tank farm operations during the emergency turnaround without shutting down. The site remained in operation without any regulatory fines.
Client continued tank farm operations during the emergency turnaround without shutting down.
