| Title: |
Recycle Line Recovers Gas During Condensate Loading. |
| Text: |
Table 1â€"Cost-Effective Options for Reducing Methane Emissions: "Recycle Line Recovers Gas During Condensate Loading. Lease condensate, when transferred from storage into tank trucks, can generate significant volumes of methane caused by pressure and temperature changes and evaporation. This methane is typically vented to the atmosphere but can be contained by connecting the tank truck vent to the condensate storage tank with a vapor-recovery system. This emission reduction practice apples to all condensate production operations using tank trucks or railroad tank cars for transportation. Recovered methane can offset the low cost of this project."
