ProMax® OOOOa Vent Assessment Tool™

Part of operating production facilities in an environmentally responsible manner is ensuring that closed vent systems are properly sized. With undersized systems unable to move flash gases to the control device, operators risk over pressuring tanks and uncontrolled emissions from thief hatches and safety valves.

BR&E has developed the OOOOa Vent Assessment Tool to help operators address these concerns quickly and easily. This tool can be used to size new vent systems or to certify existing systems as required under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa.
