Skid-Mounted Vapor Recovery Unit

A skid-mounted VRU brings the main recovery equipment, piping, valves and instruments together on a factory-assembled frame. It can reduce field assembly work and gives the project a defined package boundary for transport and installation.

Oil storage tank vapor recovery field installation
Oil storage tank field conditions affect vapor collection, pressure balance and equipment sizing.

What the skid can include

Section Typical contents
Inlet protection Knockout drum, filter, pressure measurement, isolation and liquid drain connections.
Recovery process Condenser, adsorption beds, absorber, compressor, vacuum package or other selected equipment.
Controls Switching valves, transmitters, local instruments, control panel and analyzer interfaces.
Safety Emergency isolation, grounding, flame protection and hazardous-area components as required.
Interfaces Vapor inlet, recovered product, drain, utilities, electrical and communication connections.

Benefits for overseas equipment orders

  • The factory can verify the layout and connections before shipment.
  • The buyer receives a clearer equipment list and battery-limit definition.
  • Site work focuses on foundations, tie-ins, utilities and commissioning.
  • The package can be designed around shipping dimensions and lifting points.

Items to confirm before fabrication

Confirm the site layout, lifting capacity, transport route, climate, paint system, electrical standard, hazardous-area classification, cable entries, utility conditions, pipe connections and local installation scope. The skid frame and equipment arrangement should follow the approved general arrangement drawing.

Quotation information

Provide the vapor source, gas analysis, flow range, operating pressure and temperature, required process route, site location, delivery date, available utilities and any dimensional or shipping restrictions.
