Degassing a 200 Foot Gasoline Tank in Deer Park, TX
In late 2004, at a major petrochemical plant, Vapor Tech's rental vapor scrubber system was used to degas a 200 foot diameter above ground storage tank. Vapor Tech's scrubber system consisted of three packed columns followed by a 4,000 pound carbon adsorber. The packed column scrubber system re circulated Vapor Tech's CARBONIL Hydrocarbon Encapsulator to significantly reduce carbon consumption throughout the operation.
Full LEL reduction achieved, carbon consumption significantly reduced, regulatory compliance maintained throughout
CARBONIL XT as an Industrial Chemical Spill Control Encapsulator
At a major petrochemical plant, there was a release of approximately 100 gallons of epichlorohydrin (ECH) into an area surrounding an above ground storage tank. The plant was immediately concerned about the flammability threat as well as the harmful effects to their employees and the surrounding community. CARBONIL XT was deployed immediately.
Flammability hazard eliminated rapidly, personnel and community protected from ECH exposure
CARBONIL ST — Reducing Contaminated Soil Emissions
A customer used CARBONIL ST as an encapsulator and deodorant for soil contaminated with various odorous compounds including benzene, toluene, sulfide, and other aromatics approximately 1–6 feet below the surface. Measurable emissions reduction was achieved without excavation.
Significant VOC reduction achieved in situ — no excavation required
Using D-ODORIT 100 to Treat Fumes in a Scrubber System
Vapor Tech's masking and encapsulation chemical, D-ODORIT 100, was used in a scrubber system to treat odorous fumes and to help encapsulate hydrocarbons near a populated area. The product eliminated neighborhood odor complaints and achieved full regulatory compliance.
Zero odor complaints post treatment, full regulatory compliance achieved, community relations restored
CARBONIL XT — Tank Degassing & Deodorization Application
CARBONIL XT was used to lower high LEL and suppress odors in a storage tank containing many different types of hydrocarbons and solvents including EDC and Toluene. Full compliance was achieved safely using non combustive technology.
LEL safely reduced to compliant levels — non combustive approach essential due to chlorinated solvents
