Vapor Recovery Units
Vapor Recovery for Oil & Gas Production Sites—
Vapor recovery units help oil and gas operators capture hydrocarbon vapors from storage tanks and production equipment so gas can be recovered instead of vented or combusted.
Onit Energy Solutions provides vapor recovery units for operators throughout West Texas, the Permian Basin, and Southeast New Mexico.
Our VRU systems support emissions control, product recovery, facility safety, and efficient field operations.
Built for Vapor Control and Product Recovery
Oilfield production sites can release hydrocarbon vapors from tanks and related equipment as oil, gas, and water move through the facility.
A vapor recovery unit captures those vapors and routes them back into a usable process stream. This helps operators reduce emissions, limit product loss, and improve vapor-stream management across the facility.
Onit VRUs feature durable oilfield components, customizable controls, and practical service access for demanding production environments.

VRU vs. VCU
A vapor recovery unit and a vapor combustion unit serve different purposes.
A VRU recovers usable vapor and returns it to the production stream when possible. A VCU safely combusts hydrocarbon vapors or waste gas inside an enclosed combustion chamber when recovery isn't the right option.
Onit can help operators evaluate their site conditions, vapor stream, compliance needs, and operating goals to determine the right equipment for the application.
Supporting Emissions-Driven Operations
Vapor recovery can play an important role in reducing vented emissions and improving product capture.
Onit helps operators select, service, and maintain vapor recovery equipment with safety, reliability, and field performance in mind. Our goal is to provide practical equipment solutions that support your operation and help manage emissions-related concerns.
