Emission equivalent Case 5, but concentrations within the gas space in the critical region (at times above UEG) => safety fittings neccessary.
The effect of the P / V - valve is compensated by increased heating up of the product in unventilated tanks.

7 Fixed roof tank
+ vapor balancing
+ vapor treatment

Fall 7
New Plants
High investment and operating costs / high total emissions
(CO2, NOx, methane ...), in consideration of direct emissions and emissions by use of electricity power and other utilities /
Risk of failure of vapor treatment plant.
8 Floating roof
+ vapor suck off from seal spaces
+ vapor treatment
threefold seals, guide pole seal + HELICOAT®,roof leg seals
Fall 8
New Plants
Small compact single-stage adsorption sufficient.
Low investment and operating costs
