ABSTRACT
Vapor combustion is a more brute force approach. In comparison to vapor recovery, vapor combustion is a less expensive solution, but it does not have a return on investment and has additional operating costs such as electricity, assist gas, and compressed air depending on the design of the system. Vapor combustion also has the disadvantage that while reducing VOC emissions, it will produce NOx and COx (CO and C02) emissions as products of combustion. The main advantage of vapor combustion is that it can handle a wide range of hydro carbons with no significant effect on the design of the combustor.
