Understanding Vapor Scrubbers: Protecting the Environment and Your Bottom Line

 

Understanding Vapor Scrubbers: Protecting the Environment and Your Bottom Line

In industrial settings where harmful or odorous vapors are released during operations, vapor scrubbers play a critical role in protecting the environment, workers, and surrounding communities. At Envent Corporation, we specialize in advanced vapor scrubber systems that meet stringent environmental regulations while keeping your projects on schedule and in compliance.

What Are Vapor Scrubbers?

Vapor scrubbers, also known as gas scrubbers or air scrubbers, are systems designed to remove pollutants from industrial gas streams. These pollutants can include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia, chlorine, and other hazardous or odorous vapors. The scrubber works by contacting the contaminated vapor stream with a scrubbing liquid—typically water or a chemical solution—which absorbs or neutralizes the target contaminants.

There are two main types of scrubbers:

  • Wet Scrubbers – Use a liquid to capture and remove vapor-phase pollutants.
  • Dry Scrubbers – Use a dry reagent or filter media for absorption or chemical reaction.

Envent’s vapor scrubber systems are designed to provide maximum removal efficiency, often exceeding 99% effectiveness for many contaminants.

New TCEQ Environmental Regulations: What You Need to Know

New TCEQ Environmental Regulations on VOCs and Thermal Oxidizers: What You Need to Know

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has rolled out new regulations affecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and thermal oxidizers. These updates are designed to improve air quality standards statewide and ensure industrial facilities operate responsibly.


🔥 VOC Control and Thermal Oxidizer Requirements

TCEQ now requires thermal oxidizers used for VOC control to achieve at least 95% destruction efficiency. Key points include:

  • Continuous Monitoring: Systems must record combustion chamber temperatures.
  • Performance Standards: Temperatures must meet a 3-hour average based on initial performance testing.
  • Calibration: Monitoring equipment must be calibrated annually and maintain accuracy within ±5°F.

For catalytic oxidizers, both inlet and outlet catalyst bed temperatures must be continuously monitored to ensure consistent operation.


📊 Emissions Inventory & Reporting Updates

Facilities are now required to use updated emissions inventory (EI) forms for:

  • Internal combustion engines
  • Glycol dehydration units
  • Storage tanks

TCEQ has also launched the Air Emissions and Inspection Fee (AEIF) program, which is now handled via the STEERS online system. This digital tool helps streamline submissions and improve compliance.


🛠️ Permitting and Compliance Requirements

Thermal oxidizers must meet enhanced performance standards:

  • Firebox exit temperature: Minimum 1,400°F
  • Residence time: At least 0.5 seconds

Additionally, systems must comply with §106.493(2) and (3) of the Texas Administrative Code, specific to direct flame incinerators. Meeting these criteria is essential for permitting.


🚫 Monitoring Exemptions

TCEQ has clarified exemptions for vents that:

  • Emit colorless VOCs
  • Release non-fuming liquids
  • Are incapable of producing visible emissions

These sources may not require continuous monitoring if deemed low risk for environmental impact.


Final Thoughts

Staying compliant with TCEQ’s updated environmental regulations is crucial—not just for avoiding fines, but for demonstrating your facility’s commitment to air quality and responsible operations.
