A 2,500 m³ vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) storage sphere required degassing to enable safe internal maintenance, with a target vapor concentration below 50 ppm.
Client: BASF
Duration: 72 hours
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Results: Zero environmental emissions
A 2,500 m³ vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) storage sphere required degassing to enable safe internal maintenance, with a target vapor concentration below 50 ppm.
AQ Degassing deployed a mobile cryogenic condensation unit using liquid nitrogen (−155°C) to recover VCM vapors efficiently.
The operation included inerting, pressure testing, and reconditioning of the sphere to ensure full safety and operational integrity.
