VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are chemicals (ethylene glycol, methylene chloride, formaldehyde, tetrachloroethylene, acetone, ethanol, etc.) emitted from solids or liquids. They may cause eye/nose/throat irritation, loss of coordination, headaches, nausea, liver/kidney/central nervous system damage, cancer, allergic skin reactions, fatigue, or dizziness. They contribute to air pollution and may react with nitrogen oxides and sunlight, creating ozone (a harmful pollutant). By influencing ozone concentration, VOCs contribute to climate change. When released into reservoirs, oceans, and streams, these compounds affect the health of ecosystems and aquatic life.
What Does BTEX Mean?
BTEX refers to specific VOCs (Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) that occur naturally in emissions from volcanoes and forest fires. These VOCs also result from man-made sources such as motor vehicle emissions, cigarette smoke, aircraft, paints, rubber products, lacquers, thinners, adhesives, inks, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and crude oil processing. BTEX is harmful to the environment and humans. It’s crucial for human and environmental health that we reduce these emissions.
GasPro’s BTEX Control
Gaspro Compression Corporation has dependable, low-maintenance, user-friendly BTEX emission control systems surpassing industry standards. These vapour recovery units reduce or eliminate toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene, and xylene emissions, helping protect humans and the atmosphere. The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ensures efficient, safe, orderly, and responsible energy development. GasPro utilizes an AER-approved solution involving a closed-loop system. We constantly improve and innovate to meet ever-changing demands and offer a variety of BTEX control systems. GasPro is dedicated to environmental responsibility and safety.
How Do Gaspro’s BTEX Condenser Units Work?
Gaspro Compression’s BTEX condenser units capture emissions from the still-column of the glycol dehydrator and storage tanks, passing the separated gases through the compressor and creating a closed-loop system approved by the AER (Alberta Energy Regulator)
