Mobile emission reduction
and degassing for refineries

Efficient mobile degassing and emission reduction ensures operational safety, compliance, environmental protection and efficiency in refineries. As refineries need to manage hazardous gases like hydrocarbons and VOC and comply with strict environmental and safety regulations, it is important that efficient emission reduction technologies are applied. 

Our mobile vapor combustion units can be applied for the degassing of several components at customers’ sites during refinery turnarounds and shutdowns. Applying ETS Degassing services minimizes downtimes during maintenance and mitigates the need of long shutdowns. Our technologies also help in meeting sustainability goals and complying with regulations.

Areas of mobile emission reduction

Degassing

We can efficiently degas components of all kinds such as tanks, containers, vacuum trucks and decanters with our mobile vapor combustion units. Our units combust gases, gas compounds and vapors of the explosion groups IIA, IIB and IIC with an efficiency of more than 99.99 %.

Shutdowns and turnarounds

Our mobile vapor combustion units can also be applied for degassings during major refinery shutdowns and turnarounds. As the units operate flexibly and highly efficiently, downtimes are minimized and ensure safe maintenance work.

Emergency services

If the worst happens, our units can rapidly deployed on short notice as well. As every minute counts, our units are flexible with short times between request and deployment. This way, ETS Degassing can also help during unplanned emergency shutdowns in refineries.

Rental of additional equipment

We also rent out further equipment for specific needs such as our mobile nitrogen vaporizer and the ATEX Zone 0 blower. ETS Degassing can also supply customers with pipes, fans, generators, liquid separators and detonation safety devices for IIA, IIB and IIC.

Examples of applications in refineries

Degassing during a major refinery turnaround

During a turnaround in a big German refinery, we have applied our mobile degassing services in a call-off lasting three months. In this time, we have degassed 80 components such as tanks, decanters and vacuum trucks.

Degassing a petrol tank in a refinery in Germany

In a German refinery, we have degassed a petrol tank with a unit with a combustion capacity of 5 MW. This vapor combustion unit is suited for short-term deployments and applications involving the degassing of single tanks.

Degassing petrol tanks in the Netherlands

In a refinery in the Netherlands, we have carried out the degassing of tanks and during ship loadings. For this application, we have deployed our Mobile Combustor unit with a combustion efficiency of 5 MW and our mobile ATEX Zone 0 blower.
