Vapor recovery systems are designed to reduce what kind of emissions?

Vapor recovery systems are specifically engineered to capture and eliminate vapors that can escape into the atmosphere during the refueling process of underground storage tanks. These vapors, which can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances, contribute significantly to air pollution. By reducing the number of vapors released into the air, vapor recovery systems play a crucial role in minimizing air quality degradation, thereby protecting public health and the environment. Their design focuses on preventing emissions that can lead to smog formation and other adverse effects associated with air pollution, making the reduction of air pollution emissions their primary function.
