Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) at Klang Valley Distribution Terminal (KVDT)

MECIP was engaged to provide Detailed Engineering Design (DED) services for the installation of a Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) at a major fuel distribution terminal in Malaysia. The project was undertaken to enhance environmental compliance, improve operational safety, and support sustainable terminal operations by minimizing hydrocarbon vapour emissions generated during fuel loading activities.

The VRU system was designed to capture and recover volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during tanker loading operations, preventing the direct discharge of hydrocarbon vapours into the atmosphere. Through advanced vapour collection, treatment, and recovery processes, the system enables the recovered hydrocarbons to be returned to the fuel distribution system, improving product recovery while reducing environmental impact.

MECIP delivered comprehensive multidisciplinary engineering services encompassing process, mechanical, piping, civil & structural, electrical, instrumentation, and safety engineering disciplines. The engineering scope included integration of the VRU package with existing terminal facilities, utility systems, loading infrastructure, and control systems while ensuring compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, industry standards, and operational safety objectives.

The successful implementation of the project contributed to improved environmental performance, reduced VOC emissions, enhanced operational reliability, and compliance with Malaysia’s Clean Air Regulations, supporting the client’s commitment to sustainable and responsible operations.
