Based on the well-proven CVOC^® system that have been in successfull operation onboard crude oil tankers since May 2007, GBA Marine has developed the CVOC^® Loading System. The loading system is based on the same principles as the original CVOC^® system, but has been tailored to increase efficiency during loading operations.

A wide variety of pump arrangements are available, including deep-well pumps with hydraulic- or electric drive system. Pipe routing is extremely flexible, and there are no particular requirements except general good piping practices. Note that location of crude oil inlet (suction) and pump head may result in restrictions for system operation. As such these items should be clarified with GBA Marine for each project.

CVOC^® Loading System Highlights:

• Full absorption effect independent of cargo tank level
• 100% elimination of emissions from the cargo during transport and significant reduction of emissions during loading
• Stand-alone installation with no impact on existing safety systems
• Extremely flexible installation and no risk of oil spill to surroundings during operation
• Easy to install on all vessels (Newbuild and Retrofit)
• Low installation- and maintenance cost
• Based on the same technology as the original CVOC^® system, which has been in regular operation since 2007 with close to 100% regularity

Further information on the CVOC^® Loading System will soon be available. For any questions related to this or any of our other products, please contact GBA Marine directly.
