The CVOC® Transport System is an upgraded version of the original GBA Marine VOC recovery system with lower power consumption, reduced weight and higher efficiency. It has been especially developed for use on conventional terminal tankers where spare power reserves are limited. It is available in two versions; one featuring a traditional pump-room installation (similar to the original CVOC® system), and the other featuring a deep-well pump, where the entire CVOC® system is completely integrated inside one of the cargo tanks:
Altough the CVOC® Transport System is mainly designed for use during offshore transport of crude oil, it is also possible to operate during loading. In this case absorption capacity will be reduced until the cargo tank where the CVOC® Transport System is installed is full.
CVOC® Transport System Highlights:
- Patented system
- 100% elimination of emissions from the cargo during transport and significant reduction of emissions during loading (tested and verified by 3rd party)
- Stand-alone installation with no impact on existing safety systems
- Installation inside pump room or inside one of the cargo tanks completely eliminates risk of oil spill to the surroundings during operation
- Easy to install on all vessels (Newbuild and Retrofit)
- Fully automated operation, no additional work for Crew
- Low installation- and maintenance cost
- Low power consumption
- System approved by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)
- Several CVOC® systems have been installed (see reference list), and the first one has now been in operation since 2007 with close to 100% regularity.
