What Are Vapor Recovery Systems?
Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs) capture hydrocarbon vapors at oil & gas production sites and reintegrate them into the operational stream — a cost-efficient, closed-loop alternative to venting or flaring.
Closed-Loop Vapor Capture
Capture hydrocarbon vapors from separators, production tanks, and produced water tanks, reintegrating them into your operational stream.
Dynamic Volume Handling
Real-time adjustment to accommodate changes in vapor production without sacrificing performance, with wide turndown range.
Environmental Compliance
Engineered to meet EPA and state emission regulations, helping facilities reduce VOC and greenhouse gas releases.
Resource Optimization
Captured vapors are recovered for use within your process, increasing efficiency and reducing wasted fuel or sellable product.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vapor Recovery Systems
A vapor recovery unit (VRU) is an engineered system that captures hydrocarbon vapors generated during oil and gas production, storage, and processing operations. Instead of venting or flaring these vapors, the VRU compresses and reintroduces them into the production stream, recovering valuable hydrocarbons while reducing emissions.
VRUs capture volatile organic compounds (VOCs), methane, and other hydrocarbon vapors that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere through venting or incomplete flaring. By recovering these vapors in a closed-loop system, VRUs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help facilities meet EPA and state air quality regulations.
In many cases, yes. EPA regulations including 40 CFR 60 Subpart OOOOb and various state-level rules require facilities to control VOC and methane emissions from storage vessels, separators, and other equipment. Vapor recovery is one of the approved methods for meeting these requirements, and is often preferred because it recovers revenue-generating product.
Vapor recovery systems are used across the oil and gas industry including upstream production facilities, tank batteries, loading terminals, gas processing plants, midstream operations, and any facility where hydrocarbon vapors are generated and need to be captured for environmental compliance or resource recovery.
Yes. Hero Process Solutions offers both short-term and long-term rental of portable vapor recovery systems for well completions, plant turnarounds, emergency situations, and temporary operations. Our rental fleet is maintained and ready for rapid deployment to meet your timeline.
