Cryogenic vapour recovery: a sustainable and economical solution for maintenance operations

Gas sphere maintenance often starts with one critical activity: safe and efficient degassing. While flaring and thermal oxidation remain widely used, they frequently destroy valuable product, generate NOX, SO2 and CO2 emissions, and increase operating costs.

During this webinar, Group AQ explains why cryogenic condensation has become the best available technology (BAT) for the degassing of gaseous products. Using a real-life case involving the maintenance of a 2500 m³ (88 000 ft³) vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) storage sphere, Group AQ demonstrates how product recovery, emission reduction, safety, and economics can all be significantly improved.

This session compares cryogenic technology with conventional degassing methods, discusses practical project execution, and highlights where substantial value can be created through product recovery. Whether you operate chemical plants, refineries, storage terminals, or gas processing facilities, this webinar provides practical insights for anyone responsible for gas sphere maintenance, VRU maintenance, turnaround planning, or environmental performance.
