COMM packages traditional mechanical vapor recovery units such as rotary vane and rotary screw compressors. As a packager of a wide range of compressor styles, we are able to focus on the gas stream in question and design the most cost effective and profitable solution for compressing this gas stream to our customer’s requirements. We are excited to begin offering COMM's latest mechanical compression packages to the industry, featuring Copeland Scroll™ compressors designed for natural gas. Packaged units can pick up atmospheric natural gas and boost to an intermediate pressure system.
Ejector Vapor Recovery Unit (EVRU™)
As a more reliable solution for vapor recovery, COMM developed and patented the EVRU™ technology that uses non-mechanical venturi jet ejectors to compress natural gas.
The EVRU™ recovers vent or flare gas using a high-pressure motive gas
to entrain hydrocarbons from low-pressure systems such as crude oil storage tanks. The combined
discharge gas stream exits at an intermediate pressure and
can be injected into the suction of a compressor or into the
process system (e.g., fuel gas, low-pressure separator).
The EVRU™ is a closed loop system designed to boost and recover natural
gas as a usable and profitable product. As an added benefit, it reduces the
emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
that are contained in natural gas. The EVRU™ replaces traditional
mechanical vapor recovery units and requires virtually no maintenance with no moving parts.
