Shenling Launches Jet Fuel Vapor Recovery Unit to Drive Greener Airport Operations

Company Shenling Airport Solutions
Date 28.04.2026

Shenling, a leading provider of climate control solutions, has introduced its latest innovation – the Jet Fuel Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU). The new system is designed to capture and treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during aviation fuel storage, transfer, and refueling operations, significantly reducing emissions and improving airport environmental performance.

The Jet Fuel Vapor Recovery Unit is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  1. Airport fuel storage and refueling stations
  2. Aircraft fueling trucks and loading terminals
  3. Oil depots and petrochemical facilities
  4. Wharf and bulk fuel transport systems

Addressing a Critical Challenge in Aviation Fuel Handling

Jet fuel, commonly used in commercial aviation, produces hydrocarbon vapors during loading and unloading processes at airports and fuel depots. Without proper control, these vapors can escape into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and fuel loss.

Shenling’s vapor recovery solution targets this issue by capturing fuel vapors before they are released, condensing them back into usable liquid fuel and safely treating them through integrated purification processes. This not only reduces environmental impact but also improves fuel efficiency and operational safety.

Integrated, High-Efficiency Recovery Technology

The Jet Fuel Vapor Recovery Unit is built on Shenling’s expertise in low-temperature condensation, adsorption, and multi-stage separation technologies, capabilities already proven in its VOCs gas recovery systems used in chemical and oil depot applications.

Key features of the system include:

  1. High-efficiency vapor capture during fuel loading and unloading
  2. Low-temperature condensation technology for effective hydrocarbon recovery
  3. Explosion-proof design, ensuring safe operation in flammable environments
  4. PLC-based intelligent control system for automated monitoring and remote operation
  5. Multi-process purification integration, combining condensation, adsorption, and catalytic treatment

These technologies allow the system to achieve continuous and stable vapor recovery even under demanding operational conditions at large airports and fuel storage facilities.

As global aviation moves toward carbon reduction and net-zero targets, ground operations are becoming a key focus area for emissions control. Fuel vapor recovery plays a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions while capturing valuable aviation fuel, helping airports lower operational costs and improve overall efficiency.
