Casing Gas Compressors for Low-Pressure Recovery and Emissions Control

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are some of Earth’s most plentifully produced compounds. They occur naturally in emissions from forest fires and volcanoes and are found in crude oil. Man-made sources include emissions from motor vehicles, aircraft, cigarette smoke, the production of consumer goods (paints, lacquers, rubber products, thinners, inks, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc.), and the processing of petroleum products. BTEX are known as VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and are harmful to humans and the environment. Controlling these emissions is crucial for environmental and human health.
