High-Efficiency Vapor Recovery Unit Systems (VRU’s)

You likely need a vapor recovery unit if your production site generates hydrocarbon vapors from tanks, separators, or produced water systems that are currently being vented or flared. A VRU captures those vapors and reinjects them into your operational stream, helping you meet EPA and state emissions standards while recovering valuable product that would otherwise be lost. Hero Process Solutions designs closed-loop VRU systems for oil and gas facilities across Oklahoma, Texas, and beyond.

Hero Process Solutions vapor recovery units are engineered for multi-source vapor capture, meaning a single system can recover vapors from separator gas, production tanks, and produced water tanks simultaneously. The systems feature dynamic volume handling that adjusts in real time to changes in vapor production without sacrificing performance. This broad applicability means most standard oil and gas production facilities can consolidate vapor recovery into one integrated package rather than deploying multiple standalone solutions.

VRU pricing depends on system capacity, the number of vapor sources being captured, and whether custom engineering is required for your site conditions. The return on investment comes from two directions: recovered hydrocarbons that can be sold or reused in your process, and avoided regulatory penalties from non-compliant venting or flaring. Hero Process Solutions VRU systems are designed for low maintenance and long service life, which further reduces total cost of ownership over time and improves your payback timeline.

Installation timelines for Hero Process Solutions vapor recovery units depend on system size, site configuration, and whether any custom engineering is involved. Standard VRU packages are designed for straightforward field deployment with minimal onsite assembly. Hero has engineers on standby at both the Kellyville, Oklahoma headquarters and the Midland, Texas office to support project planning, sizing, and commissioning so your system is operational as quickly as possible.

Hero Process Solutions vapor recovery units are built with a wide turndown range that allows the system to adapt seamlessly to fluctuations in vapor flow rate throughout the production cycle. Stable pressure management prevents unwanted air intrusion during low-flow periods, while dynamic volume handling scales up during high-vapor events without manual intervention. Integrated remote monitoring and control technology lets operators track system performance in real time from any location, ensuring consistent vapor capture across all operating conditions.

In many applications, yes. A vapor recovery unit captures and reinjects hydrocarbon vapors back into your process stream instead of destroying them through flaring or combustion. This closed-loop approach can eliminate the need for a flare or combustor entirely at sites where vapor volumes fall within the VRU system capacity. The result is zero routine flaring, recovered sellable product, and lower operating costs compared to combustion-based solutions. Hero Process Solutions can evaluate your site to determine if a VRU alone meets your compliance and production goals. Request a quote at heroprocesssolutions.com/contact or call (918) 941-2166.
