METHOD OF AND DEVICE FOR RECUPERATION OF HYDROCARBON GASES OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B65D90/30 C10G5/06 F17C6/00 

FIELD: recuperation of hydrocarbon gases.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to method of recuperation of hydrocarbon gases of volatile organic compounds which are formed at loading of hydrocarbons into reservoir and to device for implementing the method. Proposed hydrocarbon gases are collected, compressed, cooled and delivered into condensate reservoir. Said hydrocarbon gas condensate is used as fuel for steam system, and steam generated in steam system is used for operation of compressors for indicated compression of hydrocarbon gases of volatile organic compounds. Proposed plant has at least one or more compressors 26, 28, 30 for hydrocarbon gases of volatile organic compounds, cooling system 30, 31 for compressed hydrocarbon gases and reservoir 8 for condensate of compressed hydrocarbon gases. Compressor or compressors 26, 28, 30 are connected with corresponding steam turbine 27, 29, 31. Reservoir 8 for condensate of hydrocarbon gases is connected with steam generating boiler 35. Condensate of hydrocarbon gases of volatile organic compounds is used as fuel in boiler. Boiler 35 is connected with steam turbine or turbines 27, 29, 31.

EFFECT: provision of economic collection or recuperation of hydrocarbon gases of volatile organic compounds without adverse effect on environment.
