Abstract
A method and system for evacuating vapors from a vessel comprising at least one fluid line which can have a pump configured to draw a water and/or air mixture which is combined with vapors vacuumed from a tank via another inlet, yielding a solution that can then be disposed as a liquid. Vacuum at the inlet is created by the flowing of the water or air/water mixture past the inlet. The reduced pressure of the moving liquid causes a pressure differential with the higher pressure within the tank, and thus the vapors migrate into the vapor evacuation assembly, are mixed with the fluid, and can then be disposed, or continually recycled, with the fumes stored for later disposal.
Claims14
A vapor evacuation device for removing vapors from a vessel comprising:
- A fluid passageway having a first aperture configured to permit the introduction of a fluid into said fluid passageway, said fluid passageway further comprising a second aperture positioned downstream from said first aperture, whereby fluid entering said passageway will flow from said first aperture toward said second aperture, said fluid passageway further comprising a third aperture configured to provide fluid communication between said vessel and said fluid passageway, whereby fluid flowing from said first aperture toward said second aperture will draw vapors from said vessel into said fluid passageway, said vapor evacuation device further comprising a fluid connection between said first aperture and said third aperture whereby fluid can be recirculated through said fluid passageway.
