TANK VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM -
Model BA

DESCRIPTION

The Model BA Vapor Recovery System is mounted on a 4’ x 8’ skid. The processing tower is connected to the storage tank vent system. The unit is mounted on a skid, completely factory assembled, with all required equipment, including instrumentation, piping, electrical components, and tested prior to shipment. Operation is simple. A single switch activates the automatic startup, operation and shutdown of the unit.


APPLICATION

Two variables that determine whether a gas stream economically qualifies for liquids recovery:
(1) the rate of flow of the vapors and
(2) its composition.
The following are estimates of the amount of liquids recoverable from vapors:

COMPOSITION
BTU / SCF

RECOVERY RATE
GAL / MCF

3000 24
2000 12
1500 5
1300 3
1200 2

 

PROCESS DESIGN

. The Model BA is a portable gas liquids recovery miniature processing plant designed to liquefy up to 98% of vented C3+ hydrocarbon vapors.

The system is designed to process 10,000 - 100,000 scf/day of gas, at atmospheric inlet pressure. No compression is required.

Available in these models:

MODEL CAPACITY
BA-15 0-15 MCF/D
BA-25 15-25 MCF/D
BA-50 25-50 MCF/D
BA-100 50-100 MCF/D


For additional capacity, the Model BA Units can be connected in parallel. The portability of the Model BA allows it to be easily moved to another site in only hours.

PETROGAS also has available Refrigeration, Turboexpander and Absorption Systems to 5,000,000 scfd capacities.


INSTALLATION

Your tanks are ready.  Air-tight sealed tanks are not required.  The system can usually be installed in only a few hours. Installation requires unloading of the unit and setting it on a level stable site.

The system is designed to structurally support the unit, and equally distribute the weight of the skid components.  No piers or special foundations are required.

Installation requires the upper section of the towers (removed for shipment) to be remounted, a vapor inlet line from the storage tank vent system, and a line to the recovered product storage tank to be connected. Purchaser will need to provide 220/1/60, 200 amp electricity to the control panel.


MAINTENANCE

PETROGAS factory trained technicians are able to supervise the installation, initial start-up, adjustment of the equipment, the training of the operators, and provide full maintenance of the system, at an additional cost.

The simple design of the Model BA lets the system be easily operated and results in low maintenance and high reliability.
