The field proven Hamworthy VOC recovery system is self supplied with energy and results in no VOC emissions.
The VOC recovery system has been developed on the basis of Hamworthy Gas Systems extensive experience with crude oil cargo systems and gas cargo systems for LPG, Ethylene and LNG handling.
International agreements have established objectives to reduce emissions of VOC gas to atmosphere. The field proven Hamworthy VOC recovery system is self supplied with energy and results in no VOC emissions.
Hamworthy’s VOC plant in operation will ensure that the pressure in cargo tanks is maintained low enough to keep the vent valve to riser shut, ensuring no VOC is emitted. The gas is instead fed to the VOC recovery module, where it is treated by compression and condensation. The liquefied gas is then fed to the VOC fuel tank.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions from the global sea transportation of crude oil and associated products represent in total more than 5 million tons per year.
