Refinery
Tank Safety and Environmental Compliance.
Integrated vapour recovery technology into legacy tank infrastructure to meet air quality and compliance goals within a Brownfields environment.
The Challenge
Legacy Infrastructure Compatibility
Integrating packaged VRU units with existing tank structures posed mechanical challenges, including roof and shell load limits.
Process Safety Constraints
Overpressure protection needed to align with minimum VRU operating pressures while preserving tank integrity.
Tight Compliance Timelines
Engineering had to be delivered in step with regulatory deadlines and factory production demands.
The Solution
Collaborated with the technology licensor to ensure safe and functional integration with existing tank systems.
Developed a custom piping and process design that eliminated structural stress on the infrastructure.
Commissioned the full system within the client’s compliance window.
Delivered an innovative Brownfields solution without the need for Greenfields-style modifications.
