Work is under way to build TD&R’s first-ever Marine Vapor Control System using SYMEX Americas’ proprietary DRYVac™ Vapor Recovery Technology. TD&R awarded this project to Aura Engineering, the premier dock-side engineering company in south Texas, with instructions to make the project as transparent as possible. “Aura was instrumental in selecting SYMEX Americas because they found us flexible, and easy to deal with,” says SYMEX Americas president Tim Hammond. The TD&R terminal is a grass roots facility designed to move crude oil and condensate produced in the huge Eagle Ford shale between San Antonio and Corpus Christi to market using barges. Eagle Ford was recently dubbed one of the world’s largest oilfields. This is SYMEX Americas’ 71st dry hydrocarbon vapor emissions control system.

Apex Terminal Manager Bill Ransome and SYMEX Americas President Tim Hammond recently met to participate in the HAZOP review of Apex’s new Marine Vapor Recovery System (MVRS) in the Baltimore harbor. The system includes one completely computer controlled and self-managed DRYVac™ VR System with one USCG required Dock Safety Skid (DSS). The DSS will be located on the dock near the crane in this picture, while the VR System will be located in the tank farm.

This new Apex VR System will collect all hydrocarbon vapors, convert them back to liquid, and send them back to Apex’s storage tanks for resale. Hydrocarbon emissions from ship and barge loading operations will be reduced to the near-zero level in the process. SYMEX Americas will build this system in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Apex is a highly visible ILTA marine terminal in the Baltimore, MD Harbor. Apex chose SYMEX Americas because of its superior system management software and exceptional aftermarket service record. SYMEX Americas provides a no-charge (free) remote monitoring service for the life of each DRYVac™ VR Systems, assuring clients that expert eyes are on their system each and every week.

On April 7, 2019, SYMEX Technologies founder unexpectedly passed away. Tim’s passing was a shock to all who knew him, and to the air pollution control industry. Nevertheless, SYMEX Technologies successes will be perpetuated under the guidance of Tim’s hand-picked and capable partner Lin “William” Lin. Lin is the owner and president of Quinella, located at 1F No.67 Minxiang St. Kaohsiung City 800, Taiwan (ROC), phone 888-69-39-193-534. SYMEX Technologies continues to function under the careful and experienced guidance of Mr. Lin and his associate Greg Tseng. SYMEX Technologies technical team remains intact and fully engaged, ready for the next opportunities to help reduce air pollution in Taiwan and worldwide using its advanced and technically superior DRYVac™ technologies.

Leading Mr. Lin’s commercial staff for SYMEX Technologies is Greg Tseng. Mr. Tseng started his working career aa sales engineer in the steel and aluminum smelting and casting industry and quickly built his reputation for matching client needs with commercial solutions. Mr. Tseng joined Mr. Lin’s SYMEX Technologies team in 2016, and was instrumental in the commissioning and start-up of their largest SYMEX Technologies DRYVac™ Vapor Recovery System.
