ABSTRACT

In recent years, China has gradually increased its support for tertiary oil vapor recovery at petrol stations. Under this call, this paper aims to improve the existing condensation and membrane separation combined process. A low-power Pressure Control Device is designed to replace the compressor and vacuum pump, which greatly saves the energy consumption of the main system. A newly designed composite membrane is used to simultaneously perform the condensation and separation steps to improve the efficiency of oil vapor condensation and separation. Moreover, the whole system also takes into account the effects of temperature variations and residual vapor on the separation efficiency to further improve the overall efficiency. Finally, a preliminary feasibility verification of the designed system is carried out to prove its feasibility in principle.
