Enclosed Vapor Combustor Units (VCU)

You likely need a VCU if your site produces hydrocarbon vapors that must be destroyed to meet EPA air quality standards and you require a non-visible flame or lack onsite electricity for blower-driven flare systems. Enclosed vapor combustors are commonly used at tank batteries, loading terminals, compressor stations, biogas facilities, and mining operations. Hero Process Solutions offers ten EPA-certified models that are fully OOOOa/b/c compliant, so compliance is built in from day one.

Hero Process Solutions manufactures twelve standard VCU models ranging from compact 18-inch by 20-foot units handling 24 MSCFD up to large 84-inch by 35-foot units rated for 700 MSCFD at 1,000 Btu/scf gas. All units feature EPA-certified or EPA-compliant ratings with third-party tested performance. For applications that fall outside standard specifications, Hero also designs custom-engineered combustor units with features like automated damper controls, blower-assisted combustion air, and automated temperature regulation tailored to your exact process requirements.

VCU pricing varies based on unit size, gas flow capacity, and whether you need standard or custom-engineered features. Hero Process Solutions standard combustor packages include EPA-certified burner assemblies, fully automated controls with LED status readouts, automated pilot ignition with continuous monitoring, and high-temperature safety shutdowns. Optional add-ons include flame or detonation arrestors, liquid knockout systems, pre-cast concrete bases, and start-up commissioning assistance. Every unit is engineered to achieve 98% or greater VOC destruction efficiency right out of the box.

Lead times for Hero Process Solutions enclosed combustor units depend on the model selected and whether the unit is a standard configuration or a custom-engineered design. Standard EPA-certified models are typically available with shorter lead times since they follow proven designs already tested and certified. Custom units may require additional engineering and fabrication time. Hero has engineers on standby to help you size and select the right unit quickly so your project stays on schedule.

Hero Process Solutions combustor units reliably achieve Volatile Organic Compound destruction and removal efficiencies of 98% to 99.9%. This performance is validated through independent third-party testing, and ten of Hero’s models carry full EPA certification. All units are OOOOa/b/c compliant and feature automated burner management systems with continuous pilot monitoring, high-temperature shutdown capability, and LED status readouts to ensure safe and reliable operation at all times across changing process conditions.

Yes. Hero Process Solutions offers burner management systems powered by 120VAC or battery and solar powered configurations specifically designed for remote well sites, tank batteries, and field locations where grid electricity is not available. This makes enclosed combustors an ideal alternative to traditional flare systems that rely on electric blowers for smokeless performance. The solar and battery option provides fully automated operation including pilot ignition and continuous flame monitoring without any external power connection.
