Oil & Solvent Scrubbing Systems

ERG’s VOC abatement experience includes removal of tars and insoluble VOCs by V-tex^® or packed tower scrubbers using oil or high boiling solvents.

Examples include:

At an oil reprocessing facility, ERG supplied a V-tex^® scrubber to remove naphthalene vapour from a storage tank vent. The tank is nitrogen blanketed and the vent pipe is steam heated to prevent naphthalene condensation in the line. The scrubber operates on a batch basis, with the oil run to saturation and then recycled into the plant for oil and naphthalene recovery.
For a pharmaceutical client, ERG has a BFM (bromofluoromethane) scrubber operating with a solution of DABCO to treat >30,000 mg/m³ BFM to 95% efficiency.
