CARBONIL XT — Tank Degassing & Deodorization Application
LEL safely reduced to compliant levels — non combustive approach essential due to chlorinated solvents
A storage tank containing a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and solvents — including ethylene dichloride (EDC) and toluene — presented a significant challenge. EDC cannot be treated with combustive technologies because it produces acid when burned, making thermal oxidizers and IC engines both dangerous and unsuitable. High LEL readings in the tank posed a significant safety hazard.
Vapor Tech's CARBONIL XT was selected for its ability to handle high concentration, mixed hydrocarbon and solvent streams. CARBONIL XT was applied to suppress the LEL and encapsulate the odorous compounds in the tank. The non combustive approach was essential here — combustion of chlorinated solvents like EDC produces corrosive acids harmful to equipment and personnel.
CARBONIL XT successfully reduced the LEL to safe levels and suppressed odors in the tank, achieving full regulatory compliance without any of the risks associated with combustive treatment of chlorinated compounds.
