US Patent:

46300384, Dec 16, 1986

Filed:

May 1, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/605875

Inventors:

Mark A. Jordan - Louisville KY

International Classification:

G08B 1710

US Classification:

340632

Abstract:

A method and device for continuously analyzing, retaining and periodically displaying the concentration of a selected component in an emission gas from a vapor recovery unit. A timing device is provided to periodically display the average concentration of the component in the off gas and the concentration is continuously monitored and supplied to first and second level alarms to be actuated at selected concentrations of the component where when the concentration reaches the first level the concentration is displayed and where if the concentration reaches the second level the vapor recovery unit may be shut down.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jan 30, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/380483

Inventors:

Mark A. Jordan - Louisville KY

Assignee:

Jordan Holding Company - Louisville KY

International Classification:

B01D 53047
B01D18510
F25J 300

US Classification:

96126

Abstract:

An absorber fluid circuit is provided for a volatile liquid vapor recovery system. The vapor recovery system includes at least one adsorbent bed for capturing volatile liquid vapor, a vacuum pump for regenerating the adsorbent bed, a heat exchanger for cooling the vacuum pump, an absorber tower for condensing volatile liquid vapor and an absorber fluid source. The absorber fluid circuit includes an absorber fluid supply pump and a first conduit for directing absorber fluid from the absorber fluid source to the supply pump. A second conduit directs absorber fluid from the supply pump to both the heat exchanger and absorber tower. A third conduit returns spent absorber fluid from the heat exchanger and absorber tower back to the absorber fluid source.

Abstract:

A volatile liquid vapor recovery system is used to recover vapors produced in the loading of shipping vehicles with volatile liquid product from a storage tank. The recovery system uses a primary vessel with an adsorption bed for adsorbing the volatile liquid vapors and venting clean air including oxygen to the atmosphere. The recovery system regenerates the adsorption bed by recovering the volatile liquid vapors from the adsorption bed and directly delivering said vapors to the storage tank. The system may be adapted to remove oxygen from the primary vessel prior to regeneration, such as by purging and venting the primary vessel with a purge gas or by providing a secondary vessel to receive oxygen and vapors from the primary vessel prior to regeneration of the first adsorption bed. Adsorbed volatile liquid vapor from the secondary vessel can be recycled to the primary vessel for conservation.
