FLOGISTIX Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU)

Flogistix. The leader in production optimization, welcomes you to this animated look at our vapor recovery unit.
As wells produce oil, gas is also produced in two ways. Flash gas is produced from the initial separation process, and solution gas is produced over time as oil is collected in storage tanks. Oil fills the tanks, and the volume occupied by the tank vapor is displaced, increasing the pressure of the gas. Most tanks are designed to release this gas at 12 ounces of pressure or less. Without a vapor recovery unit, or VRU, the pressure of this gas is too low to flow into a sales line and must be either vented or flared.
Venting tank vapors to the atmosphere costs money, is dangerous, and is harmful to the environment. Tank vapors typically have a very high BTU content and are up to twice as valuable as dry gas, resulting in lost revenue. Tank emissions are greenhouse gases that are 21 times more potent than CO2, and incur fees and pentalties, increasing operating expenses. Vented gas also poses a safety hazard as combustible mixtures are formed near the tank battery.
Flaring gas does less damage to the environment, but is just as costly. Operators that flare tank vapors are literally burning millions of dollars of high BTU gas each year.
With the Flogistix VRU, you can capture this revenue and virtually eliminate venting and flaring. As the tanks fill with oil, the VRU draws the tank vapors off at a precise pressure, typically between 4 and 8 ounces. This rich gas stream is then compressed and discharged into the sales line, producing revenue for you. Our Logix PLC controller features automatic start and stop, variable speed control, satellite telemetry with text message notification and ultra precise pressure control, which prevents O2 contamination and keeps blanket gas on the tanks. The technology and safety built into the Flogistix VRU system will help you increase revenue, decrease costly emissions, and reduce safety hazards on your location.
Our engineering department can design a VRU system to meet your needs. Call us today let Flogistix help you capture every MCF. Capture every dollar.
