Marine & Offshore

John Zink is known for its extensive experience and expertise in vapor control and combustion technologies for the marine and offshore market. With a proven track record of successful projects, we offer a comprehensive range of products including Gas Combustion Units (GCUs), low NOx burners, steam boilers, and multi-fuel combustion equipment.

Experts in Vapor Control for Marine Operations

John Zink is a leader in the marine and offshore market, backed by decades of extensive experience and cutting-edge vapor control and combustion technologies. We have successfully completed hundreds of marine terminal vapor control projects worldwide, providing a full suite of solutions that include vapor combustion and recovery systems, dock safety units, vapor blower units, and integrated control systems.

Our offerings in the marine and offshore market are designed to meet the stringent requirements of global regulations, such as those set by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Our gas combustion units (GCUs) and low-NOx burners are specifically tailored for LNG carriers and floating storage regasification units (FSRUs), ensuring efficient and environmentally compliant operations. For FPSOs, FSOs, FLNG units, and other offshore platforms, John Zink provides steam boilers, power modules, and multi-fuel combustion equipment that enhance operational efficiency and safety.

Our dock safety units (DSUs) and vapor blower units (VBUs) are integral to ensuring safety and efficiency in marine vapor control systems. These DSUs meet all USCG requirements for vessel over/under pressure protection, fire and explosion protection, and vapor conditioning, while our VBUs are designed to safely deliver vapors from the dock to the emission control device, incorporating features like spark-resistant blowers and detonation arrestors.

John Zink’s vapor control solutions, including vapor combustion units (VCUs) and vapor recovery units (VRUs), are recognized as the "Best Demonstrated Technology" and the "Maximum Achievable Control Technology" by the U.S. EPA. Our VCUs are designed to handle a broad range of vapor compositions and flow rates, offering destruction efficiencies typically exceeding 99%. Our VRSs utilize activated carbon to adsorb hydrocarbon vapors, achieving recovery efficiencies that often exceed 99%.

Additional Offerings

Marine & Offshore Market

SMART™ Air-Assisted Flare

The SMART™ flare is an economical design that utilizes an air tube delivery system similar to that used with steam/air tubes in steam-assisted flare tips. It is ideal for applications requiring moderate to high smokeless flow rates and is capable of burning without smoke.

Divided Flow (DFL™) Low-Emission Burner

The DFL™ Low-Emission Burner offers efficient and low-emission combustion solutions for industrial boilers with low excess air operation, adjustable flame shaping, and fuel flexibility.

NOxSTAR™ Vapor Combustion System

Our NOxSTAR™ Vapor Combustion System combines proven burner technology with emissions control of less than 0.02 lbs NOx/MMBtu, so you can meet emissions regulations and get the performance you need without sacrificing reliability.

Marine Vapor Emission Control Systems

Our marine vapor control system is a complete package that integrates proven combustion and recovery systems, dock safety units (DSUs), vapor blower units, and control systems to provide unmatched, comprehensive support services that meet stringent marine regulations.

Vapor Recovery Units (VRUs)

Our Carbon Adsorption Vapor Recovery Units safely prevent harmful VOCs from reaching the atmosphere, are highly adaptable for a variety of applications, and can be customized to your specific system.

Vapor Blower Units (VBUs)

Our vapor blower units (VBUs) are designed to effectively transfer VOCs and enhance operational safety by reducing the risk of vapor-related incidents.
