Vapor Recovery Units (VRU)
Vapor Recovery Units (VRU)
(OP)
I am preparing to search for manufacturers of vapor recovery units to recover alcohol from a vapor stream.
What manufacturers are active in this area? Any comments about them and the method of processing would be appreciated.
At this time, I do not have any information on the quantity of vapor to be processed.
Comments appreciated!

Generally, the sliding vane is the lowest cost, but they usually only operate from beteewn -10 psi to 100 psig and are usually under 200HP. The screw type are the most versitle over a wide range up to 1000 HP.
Materials can be carbon steel for the most part, but it depends on water content.

Thanks for the quick replies. I anticipated the questions but the project is very new and I am collecting preliminary information. I can say that it is isopropyl and used in food additive processing. That is all that I have at the present.
I will add to my post when I get additional info.
Thanks again.
