This invention discloses a device and method for controlling the source of
breathing gas from
solvent storage tanks, belonging to the field of
volatile organic compound (VOC)
pollution control technology. The device includes at least two
solvent storage tanks, an automatic foam ball dosing
system, a
gas phase connection pipeline, and a variable-volume
airbag. The automatic foam ball dosing
system adds foam balls to the liquid surface of each
solvent storage tank, forming a liquid surface covering layer. The
gas phase spaces of each solvent
storage tank are interconnected through the
gas phase connection pipeline, forming a gas
phase balance system. The variable-volume
airbag is connected to the gas phase connection pipeline or the gas
phase space of one of the solvent storage tanks to collect and store
breathing gas. The method of this invention reduces the
liquid phase evaporation area by covering the liquid surface with foam balls, combines multi-tank series gas phase connection to balance the
breathing gas between tanks, reduces gas phase emissions, and uses a variable-volume
airbag to buffer and reuse the
breathing gas, achieving full-process source control and near-zero emissions of
breathing gas. It features low investment and operating costs and significant
pollution control effects.
