How is the collection of vapors typically achieved?

The collection of vapors is most effectively achieved through permanently installed deck piping. This method involves utilizing established piping systems designed specifically for vapor collection. These systems are engineered to safely and efficiently transport vapors to appropriate recovery or containment systems, minimizing the risk of release into the atmosphere.

Permanently installed deck piping ensures a reliable and continuous connection for vapor management during loading and unloading operations, reducing the chance of spills or leaks. This approach is more efficient and safer compared to other methods, leading to compliant operation in line with environmental regulations.

Portable pumps, while useful for various tank or fluid transfers, do not provide the same level of convenience and efficiency for vapor collection. Manually capturing vapors is labor-intensive and introduces more risk of human error. Temporary storage tanks might be appropriate for certain operations, but they are not specifically designed for effective and continuous vapor collection during transfer operations like dedicated piping systems are.
