A lot can go wrong with a vapor control system! Most important, of course, is ensuring that your equipment is in safe and operable condition so that your operations run smoothly without posing any danger to your personnel or the environment. Just as critical to your business needs, though, is making certain that your vapor control system is operating in compliance with the law.
The petroleum and petrochemical industries are now more tightly regulated than ever. Does your vapor recovery unit meet the appropriate TCEQ capture efficiency requirements? Is your facility ready to pass USCG compliance inspections? If you aren’t sure, you may run into trouble soon.

When vapor control systems are not kept in tip-top operating condition with regular preventive maintenance, they can lose operational efficiency or even shut down. Shutdowns are one of the leading causes for the callouts Aura responds to, along with compliance failures. These operational problems can prove to be very costly, indeed, putting your facility’s work behind schedule and even incurring regulatory penalties in some circumstances. The longer one of these emergency situations lasts, the more time and money it is likely to cost you.
