Retrofit for active carbon recovery systems
Facing inefficiencies in vapor recovery and emission control? This retrofit solution enhances safety and performance by reducing exothermic reactions and optimizing hydrocarbon management in your existing active carbon systems.
The BORSIG Carbon Retrofit Unit effectively upgrades existing vapor recovery systems by integrating advanced membrane technology with your current setup. Designed for petrochemical, chemical, and industrial plants, this unit bypasses adsorber vessels by directing a substantial hydrocarbon flow to a scrubber, where separation occurs. Increasing productivity and safety, it handles applications like sulfuric component removal and hydrocarbon solvent recovery. This skid-mounted system, suitable for continuous and automated operations, enhances efficiency, consumes less power, and requires minimal maintenance. Its ability to separate aromatic hydrocarbons and recover valuable chemicals ensures reduced emissions and safety compliance, meeting rigorous industry standards.
