Abstract

Apparatus and methods for modulating or damping surges of gaseous component (VOC) to a system for destroying the gaseous component are provided which include an accumulator located and adapted to hold gaseous component resulting from such a surge. The present system includes a valve which is positioned to facilitate passing the gaseous component resulting from the surge to the accumulator and, thereafter, to be repositioned to allow the gaseous component from the accumulator to be passed to the system for destroying the gaseous component.
