With the BTU values of tank vapors almost doubling those of typical natural gas streams, the ROI and profits compound very rapidly with effective and reliable vapor recovery. Since the development of the original VRSA (Vapor Recovery System Alternative), Engineered Concepts has developed a wide variety of applications ranging from the Bakken in North Dakota to the Eagle Ford in South Texas. In most every case, we were called upon for environmental reasons, but as you can see, the profit potential that would otherwise go to the atmosphere is now going to our customers' bottom line.

In locations where wells are producing over 50 bpd of condensate, the payout for reliable vapor recovery is often within one year-even with low natural gas prices. For wells producing a large volume of oil/condensate, the return on investment and subsequent profits with reliable vapor recovery are fast and very substantial. In shale plays, where initial production is prolific, why not get it all?  Engineered Concepts can provide mobile skid mounted systems designed to the particulars of your region that can reliably turn your flares into revenue generators. The key word in Engineered Concepts vapor recovery systems is RELIABLE.

Variety of VRSA Systems - Zero Failures
At the present, there are no “off the shelf” or “one size fits all” solutions to reliable vapor recovery.  Climate, production content and numerous other factors are all critical elements in designing a reliable vapor recovery system.  To accommodate very different climates, production contents/rates etc., Engineered Concepts has developed a diverse range of vapor recovery systems.  Most systems can be retrofitted onto existing production facilities or well pads.  All Engineered Concepts systems feature patented and patent pending temperature control features… the key to reliable vapor recovery.

Like the original VRSA, each system virtually eliminates flaring and adds significant profit to your overall production efforts.  All VRSA systems are scalable, skid mounted and easily relocated.  Most important, Engineered Concepts has never had a system fail or require removal due to not delivering the promised results to a customer.  Few, if any, packagers of VRUs can make this claim.

Different VRSA Designs Address Wide Range of Conditions
Currently Engineered Concepts offers three VRSA versions. All the designs substantially remove the effects of ambient temperature as a process variable to provide reliable year-round operations.  All systems can be configured to address potential slugging conditions, extreme weather and the full range of other field conditions described in the VRSA brochure.  Each VRSA solves traditional VRU problems by employing processes to:

• Control/Manage interstage recycles
• Control slugs
• Eliminate oxygen ingress into the pipeline from the tanks
• Operate reliably and continuously during wide ambient temperature swings
• Addresses special production contents such as saline, paraffin and H2S
