Product overview
Product scope
Vapor Recovery Compressor Units are presented as a quotation-ready product family for capture and compression of low-pressure hydrocarbon vapors from tanks, separators and production facilities for recovery or controlled disposal. The page supports process-package screening and technical RFQs; it does not promise one fixed model, treatment result or stocked unit. The final supplier must confirm performance against representative feed data, the buyer's approved process cases, governing code editions and signed datasheet.
Selection basis
The main inputs are vapor composition and molecular weight, minimum normal and maximum flow, suction pressure and temperature, discharge pressure, liquid carryover and suction scrubber, compressor type, turndown, recycle, stages and cooling, driver, seals, materials, sour service, pulsation and vibration, noise, hazardous area, emissions target, control philosophy and package performance test. Package performance depends on feed variability, upstream equipment and utility conditions, so minimum, normal, maximum and upset cases should be separated. Attach laboratory analyses, fluid or gas composition, process simulation data, required outlet limits, site utilities, hazardous-area classification, ambient conditions and plot constraints.
Trade and industry context
The cited UN Comtrade record is a broad HS-category export proxy used only to prioritize internationally traded machinery families. It is not an oilfield-only market value, shipment record or product demand forecast. API and ASME references identify common code boundaries and RFQ fields; they do not prove certification, stock, dealership or performance for an unnamed supplier.
Documents and acceptance
Define signed datasheets, process flow and instrumentation diagrams, heat and material balance, equipment and line lists, general arrangement, calculations, material certificates, welding and NDT records, pressure tests, factory acceptance test, control narrative, cause-and-effect, hazardous-area certificates, operating manual, spare-parts list, preservation and packing. State the guarantee test conditions, sampling method, instrument accuracy and treatment-performance acceptance criteria before commercial comparison.
RFQ checklist
- Process objective, quantity and delivery schedule
- Minimum, normal, maximum and upset feed cases
- Inlet composition, contaminants and required outlet specification
- Pressure, temperature, materials, corrosion and code editions
- Utilities, controls, hazardous area, emissions and waste interfaces
- Inspection, performance testing and final document requirements
- Destination, Incoterm, packing and transport limits
- Target package price or budget range and permitted alternatives
Upload the process datasheet, analysis, plot plan and project specification with the inquiry. Assumptions and supplier deviations should be resolved before price evaluation and order release.
Technical reference trail
These public references support the equipment family and selection context. They do not imply dealership, authorization or a guaranteed order specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is required to quote Vapor Recovery Compressor Units?
Provide vapor composition and molecular weight, minimum normal and maximum flow, suction pressure and temperature, discharge pressure, liquid carryover and suction scrubber, compressor type, turndown, recycle, stages and cooling, driver, seals, materials, sour service, pulsation and vibration, noise, hazardous area, emissions target, control philosophy and package performance test, quantity, destination, delivery target and required documents. Attach representative feed analyses and the project process datasheet.
Are the displayed performance fields guaranteed?
No. They are RFQ inputs. Final performance is controlled by agreed feed cases, signed datasheets, guarantee conditions and the approved factory or site acceptance procedure.
Can an equivalent process configuration be proposed?
Yes, when alternatives are permitted. The supplier must list assumptions and deviations in process performance, utilities, materials, code, footprint, testing and delivery scope.
