Situation
Every fortnight a tanker delivers oil from Russia to Finland. The tanker docks at the port of Naantali and the oil is conveyed to storage tanks below ground. Gas is liberated at the same time. This exhaust gas escapes from the tanks into the atmosphere. The operator told himself that this situation was no longer tenable, and set about weighing up solutions. With success. The company Neste Jacobs Oy found Hofstetter the ideal partner for working out an overall solution for safe and environmentally friendly disposal of the exhaust gas charged with volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
