Every day, millions of gallons of oil, gas, and other chemicals are pumped from oiltankers and barges into storage facilities and refineries all over the world. During this process, large amounts of vapors are created due to the disruption caused by the high pressure transfers. These vapors can accumulate in the containment areas of the vessels and become dangerous. Currently these vapors are piped out of the holding areas to stack flares where they are burned off to atmosphere, producing large amounts of VOCs, NOx, CO and CO2. This process also accounts for a significant loss of overall product for the oil companies.
Installed on individual vessels or at the terminals, the VSS system is designed for crew-supported operation during product transfers and for use as required in transit of low volume loads or empty backhauls. The system uses a pressurized injection system which sprays a vaporized chemical compound into the void space above a petro-liquid product. The chemistry (now at molecular level) seeks to connect to hydrocarbons in the saturated vapor space. This
chemical shield binds in a chain with the present product and then forms a barrier several molecules thick, suppressing the creation of further VOCs. This not only reduces the risk associated with vapor generation, but also reduces the requirement for higher risk and costly degassing operations.
