DORIS delivered concept-level engineering to assess the feasibility of vapour recovery solutions for reducing flaring and venting emissions.
Project outline
The Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) Pilot Concept Design evaluated technical options to capture and monetise hydrocarbon vapours currently flared or vented. The objective was to define a technically feasible and commercially viable pilot solution to demonstrate emissions reduction potential.
Services delivered by DORIS
DORIS developed concept-level engineering designs for a pilot vapour recovery unit, including process configuration, equipment sizing and integration with existing facilities. The study evaluated technical feasibility, operational constraints and safety considerations associated with retrofitting capture systems.
High-level capital and operating cost estimates were prepared, supported by techno-economic analysis to assess payback potential and emissions reduction impact. Implementation risks and regulatory considerations were identified, and alternative configurations were compared.
The outcome provided a robust basis for progressing to detailed design and investment approval, demonstrating how flaring and venting emissions could be reduced while generating commercial value.
