Kahab Project
Exposure to gasoline vapors poses serious health risks, and the release of hydrocarbon emissions into the atmosphere contributes significantly to environmental pollution. As a result, strict global regulations have been implemented to control and reduce these emissions.
The “KAHAB PLAN” abbreviation for words: Decreasing, Guiding, Transmission, and Recovery Steam Gasoline, has been introduced by the Government Board as a national plan in 2008. One of the main goals of the “KAHAB NATIONAL PLAN” for the NIORDC is identifying the locations of gasoline emissions. Among the benefits of implementing “KAHAB NATIONAL PLAN” we can point out reducing the pollutants from petrol vapors at fuel stations, increasing the revenue of gasoline recycling and obtaining points and fees.
The vapor recovery system is installed adjacent to the site’s fill and vent arrangement. It connects to the vent lines and returns processed fuel to the underground storage tank. The VRU is continuously supplied with coolant gases by the CRM (Compression Refrigerant Module) to maintain the required low operating temperature.
Corrosion Science Technology Co. (CST), with more than 15 years of experience in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors, is a national leader in environmental compliance and emission control technologies. As the first implementer of the KAHAB National Plan in Iran, CST began its activities in 2013 and is the sole authorized representative of Spain’s Fuel Management Technology Co. for the sale and installation of gasoline vapor recovery systems in Iran.
In 2014, CST Co by relying on power of its experts managed to install the first Vapor Recovery Unitas the pilot project in Karaj, Iran (NIORDC, Alborz province). By considering this note that this is a National Plan and also the necessity of localization of its required equipment, CST Co got the agreement of “Fuel Management Technology” in order to transfer technology and technical knowledge in 2015 and succeed in the localization, construction and installation of Vapor Recovery Unit under the name of Brand “Danesh” in the Iran and obtained technical and HSE approvals from NIORDC and EPIL.
Over the years, CST has installed numerous Vapor Recovery Units across the country, including Tehran, Karaj, Qom, Behbahan, Chalous, Shahriyar, and Rasht.
CST’s additional services include:
Engineering and design of VRUs tailored to each site,
Installation of Stage 1 and Stage 2 vapor recovery systems,
After-sales support, and
Customer training.
