Vapor Combustion Units
Enclosed Combustion for Oilfield Vapor Control and Minimal Emissions
Vapor combustion units provide an enclosed solution for burning hydrocarbon vapors from oil and gas production sites.
Onit Energy Solutions designs, builds, services, and upgrades vapor combustion units for operators throughout West Texas, the Permian Basin, and Southeast New Mexico. Our systems are built to support cleaner combustion, reliable operation, and practical field service.
Built for Reliable Vapor Destruction & Environmental Protection
A vapor combustion unit works much like an enclosed flare, burning gas inside a combustion chamber instead of exposing the flame through an open flare tip.
VCUs are often used for lower-volume vapor streams, tank battery applications, and facilities where visible flame, smoke, noise, radiant heat, or nearby development create additional operational concerns.
Our vapor combustion unit capabilities include
- New VCU manufacturing
- Custom VCU sizing
- Burner design and support
- Pilot and ignition support
- Flame monitoring
- High destruction efficiency when properly sized, installed, and operated
- Stainless steel construction and H2S-compatible options
- Dedicated emissions testing ports
- Automatic ignition with continuous pilot monitoring
- Emergency shutdown capability
- Burner management system integration
- Service and repair
- Preventive maintenance
- Retrofits and upgrades
Technical Specifications Available
Onit provides VCU specifications and sizing support based on anticipated flow, turndown requirements, gas quality, regulatory constraints, and site conditions. Final VCU selection and sizing are confirmed by Onit Energy Solutions before fabrication.
Supporting Federal Safety and Compliance Regulations
VCUs help operators control emissions by destroying hydrocarbon vapors before they are released into the atmosphere.
Onit helps evaluate factors such as vapor flow, burner performance, pilot reliability, flame monitoring, airflow, data logging, and nuisance impacts such as visible emissions, noise, and radiant heat. Our goal is to help your system burn cleanly, operate safely, and support current emissions expectations.
Field Services that Support Your Operation
Many operators have experienced the same problem: a company sells the flare, but does not provide reliable support when that flare needs service.
Onit Energy Solutions takes a different approach.
We manufacture flare systems, but we also service, repair, maintain, and upgrade them in the field. Whether you need a new open tip flare or support for an existing system, our team is ready to help keep your equipment working.
