From the first-generation VRU to the latest GreenGuard platform — a decade of continuous innovation.

Our Journey

From Innovation to GreenGuard

The evolution of Datian Machine's vapor recovery technology since 2016.

Since 2015, Datian Machine has pioneered advancements in vapor recovery systems — a journey that ultimately gave rise to the GreenGuard brand. What began as a condensation-based prototype has grown into a globally deployed Stage III platform, trusted by major oil companies and stations across China, the Middle East and beyond.

Each generation reflects lessons learned in the field: tighter emission control, faster cooling, lower energy consumption and longer service life. The result is a product family that turns emission challenges into operational and environmental value.

Technology Milestones

From First Generation to Today

2015

First Generation

Pure carbon adsorption — activated-carbon canisters capture fuel vapor from the vent stream, lowering tail-gas emission concentration.

2016

Second Generation — Pure Condensation

Introduced pure condensation technology, operating below -30°C and returning recovered oil directly to storage — no membrane filtration yet.

Condensation + Carbon Adsorption

Combined condensation with activated-carbon adsorption for enhanced vapor separation. Laid the groundwork with over 400 units deployed alongside Gen 2.

Third Generation — The Birth of GreenGuard

The official launch of GreenGuard, integrating compressor-based cooling, liquid oil recovery and membrane filtration, enhanced with dual air cooling for higher efficiency. Over 500 units deployed, with the earliest still running strong after 4–5 years at Sinopec.

Fourth Generation — Iterative Upgrades

Three field-driven upgrades expanded GreenGuard from a domestic Stage III retrofit into a globally deployable platform — hybrid cooling, climate-hardened compressors and the current DT-VR26M1 / DT-VR26M2 models.

2024

Upgrade 1: Hybrid Cooling

Switched to a hybrid cooling system (-10 °C condensation), boosting oil and gas recovery. Rapidly adopted across China, with units operating reliably for up to 1.5 years.

GreenGuard Brand Founded — 4HP Condensation + Membrane R&D

Datian launched dedicated R&D on 4HP condensation combined with membrane separation technology, and formally established the GreenGuard brand as a distinct product line.

Upgrade 2: Built for Demanding Climates

A more durable compressor and stronger condensation (-30 °C, 4 HP), engineered for demanding environments such as the Middle East — marking GreenGuard's expansion into global markets.

DT-VR26M1 / DT-VR26M2 — Current Models

The current GreenGuard models, ready for widespread deployment across new and existing sites, with or without Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery systems.

In-House Separation Membrane

After two years of in-house development and field testing, Datian announced its own oil-gas separation membrane — fully replacing and outperforming MTR membranes.

Upgraded Condensing System

New condensing system with a 316L stainless-steel housing and 304 stainless-steel internal condensing tubing. Larger condensing surface area and longer service life across varied environments, exceeding the 2025 condensing system.

From early condensation methods to today's integrated, high-efficiency systems, GreenGuard represents Datian Machine's commitment to sustainable vapor recovery — turning emission challenges into operational and environmental value.
