Top Loading Arms with Vapour Recovery

The Top Loading Arms with Vapour Recovery are designed for applications requiring a wide operating range, allowing maximum coverage of loading points during top filling operations. In addition, the vapour recovery (VR) configuration incorporates a dedicated return line that enables the safe recovery of vapours during loading. This feature helps reduce emissions, improve environmental safety, and comply with regulatory requirements.
