VOC ABATEMENT FILTERS FOR STORAGE TANKS

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals with low boiling points that may be toxic to humans and the environment or have long-term health effects. As such, regulatory authorities the world over have strict regulations in place to minimise emissions. A number of methods to minimise VOC emissions exist that are applicable to storage tanks, one such being the Go4DK VOC abatement filter.   THE BENEFITS The Go4DK VOC abatement filter is designed to remove VOCs from the tank ventilation. Applications for the technology include API650 storage tanks, offshore platforms and rigs and supply vessels with Lloyds Register (LR) design appraisal documents. The activated carbon RST3 (adsorption) can retain more than 100% of its own weight so the lifetime of the carbon is longer. This works alongside technology to remove particles in the air phase from entering the filter. It is an optimised design based on years of experience, with proven and documented results. Using the Go4DK abatement filter allows VOC problems and issues from storage tanks, floating storage and offloading (FSO), product tankers, bunker barges, and other applications can now be solved in a fairly...
