What Are Vapor Combustors?
Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs), also known as Enclosed Combustion Devices (ECDs), are air pollution abatement technologies used to destroy hydrocarbon vapors. They provide enclosed, smokeless combustion for facilities requiring non-visible flame operation and reliable emission control.
Enclosed Combustion
Vapor Combustor Units (VCUs) utilize enclosed combustion chambers that completely contain the flame, eliminating visible emissions and providing superior destruction of hydrocarbon vapors.
VOC & Methane Destruction
High-efficiency burner assemblies reliably achieve Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Destruction and Removal Efficiencies (DRE) of up to 98%–99.9% across all operating conditions.
EPA-Certified Technology
Hero offers ten (10) third-party tested and EPA-certified units that are fully OOOOa/b/c compliant, ensuring your facility meets all applicable federal and state emission regulations.
Environmental Compliance
VCUs are commonly deployed where a non-visible flame is required or when electricity is not available onsite to operate flare systems that rely on blowers for smokeless performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vapor Combustors
Hero Process Solutions vapor combustors achieve Destruction and Removal Efficiencies (DRE) of 98% to 99.9% for VOCs and methane. Our ten EPA-certified models are third-party tested to verify these performance levels under real-world operating conditions.
Yes. All Hero VCU models are fully EPA 40 CFR 60 OOOOa/b/c compliant and have been third-party tested and certified. Our units meet all federal and state emission regulations for enclosed combustion devices.
Vapor combustors are widely used across oil and gas production, tank battery operations, loading terminals, compressor stations, biogas facilities, landfill gas projects, and mining operations. Any facility requiring enclosed, non-visible flame combustion for emission control can benefit from VCU technology.
Unlike open flares which produce a visible flame, vapor combustors (VCUs) use enclosed combustion chambers that completely contain the flame. This provides smokeless, non-visible operation and typically higher destruction efficiency. VCUs are ideal for locations where visible flames are prohibited or where electricity is unavailable to power blower-assisted flare systems.
Yes. Hero Process Solutions offers short-term and long-term rental options for portable vapor combustor units. Our rental fleet is ready for rapid deployment for well completions, workovers, plant turnarounds, and emergency situations. Contact us at (918) 941-2166 for rental availability.
