Startec’s client needed an innovative solution to remove heavy hydrocarbon vapours off their bitumen storage tanks with varying capacity requirements.

In response, our Everyday Mavericks paved the way to maximum recovery by utilizing liquid ring compressors. With the use of the liquid ring, we were able to provide our clients with a solution that has no contact between rotor impellers and the compression chamber wall but instead, a ring of liquid to form the seal for total control of these types of gases.
