John Zinks Carbon Adsorption Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) safely prevent harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from being released into the atmosphere during operations that involve the transfer of evaporative hydrocarbons. Because John Zinks VRUs are highly adaptable for a variety of applications, our engineers can customize an emission control solution that optimizes your specific system. Our VRU systems are available with Adsorption-Absorption (ADAB) and Adsorption-Condensation (ADCON) configurations, as well as varying vacuum technologies to best suit specific facility needs.

SUPERIOR PERFORMaNcE
John Zinks VRUs are designed to meet the most stringent emissions requirements worldwide. In typical installations such as truck, rail, tank and marine loading, our VRUs achieve emission control efficiencies of 99% or better. Most systems are designed to meet 1 10 milligrams of VOC
released per liter of product loaded, or 1 10 grams per cubic meter of vapor vented. John Zink has designed VRUs that meet stricter emissions standards including the TA Luft standard of 150 milligrams of VOC released per normal cubic meter of vapor vented (approximately equal to 0.15 mg/l).

John Zinks ADAB vapor recovery design is suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is most commonly used to control hydrocarbon vapor emissions at terminals handling petroleum fuel products. John Zinks VRUs combine physical adsorption with absorption to recover hydrocarbon vapors and return the recovered product to storage.
The VRU is equipped with two identical adsorber vessels filled with activated carbon. One adsorber is on stream receiving vapors in the adsorption mode while the other adsorber is off stream in the regeneration mode. Switching valves are provided to automatically alternate the adsorbers between adsorption and regeneration, which assures uninterrupted vapor processing capability. The VRU will automatically start when a loading operation is ongoing and shutdown in a standby mode when the operation is complete.
CONDENSATE COLLECTION
During adsorption, the inlet hydrocarbon vapor-air mixture to be processed flows up through the on stream adsorber vessel. In the adsorber, the activated carbon adsorbs the hydrocarbon vapor and allows clean air to vent from the bed with only minimal hydrocarbon content.

PURGE AIR
During regeneration, previously adsorbed hydrocarbon vapor is removed from the carbon and the carbons ability to adsorb vapor is restored. Carbon bed regeneration is accomplished with a combination of high levels of vacuum and purge air stripping. At the end of the regeneration cycle, the adsorber vessel is re-pressurized and then is placed back on stream.

A dry vacuum pump (DVP) is the source of vacuum for carbon regeneration. The DVP extracts concentrated hydrocarbon vapor from the carbon bed, and discharges directly into the recovery device, a vertically packed absorption column. To limit the vapor temperature inside the DVP, absorbent is circulated through the outside jacket and is injected directly into the vacuum pump.

DRY VACUUM PUMP
In the absorber vessel, the hydrocarbon vapor from the DVP flows up through packing, while a hydrocarbon liquid flows down through packing. Inside the absorber, the vapor is liquefied, and the recovered hydrocarbon is returned back to the absorbent storage tank. A small stream of air and residual vapor exits the top of the absorber and is recycled to the on stream carbon bed for re-adsorption.
A lean absorbent supply pump and a rich absorbent return pump are provided to circulate the required absorbent.

Liquid ring VRU systems operate along the same principles as the dry system previously described. However, this system includes a liquid ring vacuum pump (LRVP) to regenerate the carbon beds. LRVPs are robust and relatively inexpensive, with a proven history of successful operation.
They are available in a variety of configurations so the system can be tailored to fit your specific needs. John Zink has made available its own specially formulated vacuum pump seal fluid Z-SEAL for use in this serivce.
The LRVP strips the rich hydrocarbon vapor stream from the adsorber and discharges it into a three-phase separator. Each LRVP requires a specially blended ethylene glycol-based sealing fluid to operate.

The separator is provided to allow efficient separation between the vacuum pumps seal fluid, hydrocarbon condensate, and the non-condensed hydrocarbon vapor. The non-condensed hydrocarbon vapor is discharged from the separator vessel and recovered by means of a packed-bed absorber column in the same manner as previously described.

The ADAB VRU based upon either dry vacuum pump or liquid ring vacuum pump technology may be provided with a high efficiency (HE-ADAB) vacuum system. The enhanced vacuum system consists of a rotary-lobed vacuum booster blower operating in series with the vacuum pump. The addition of the booster blower allows the carbon beds to be regenerated under a higher vacuum (lower absolute pressure) and provides significantly higher pumping capacity at high vacuums than is possible through the use of only the vacuum pump. An enhanced vacuum system more thoroughly regenerates the activated carbon and can, as a result, provide several potential benefits including use of less carbon, the achievement of lower emission levels, reduced system power requirement, and less overall capital cost.

John Zink introduces VaporWatch, a new vapor control remote monitoring system. With VaporWatch, operators can securely access real-time online operating data directly from their desktops or from a personal computer anywhere around the world. This remote access capability ultimately results in more efficient equipment operation, reduced downtime for loading terminal operations, and lower operating and maintenance costs.
An enhanced maintenance package is also available that includes a proactive service plan that generates customized equipment performance reports and a dedicated monitoring system for customer equipment. The enhanced version also maintains data on the pressures, temperatures, emissions, and other vapor control performance. Technicians can reference these reports to help diagnose and eliminate operational difficulties, predict equipment failures, and service equipment.
