French term or phrase: compensation de ciel gazeux
Document about treatment of VOCs emitted by industrial plant.

In a list of best practices:

"Compensation des ciels gazeux"

"Indiquez si lorsque le camion pompeur/citerne est en chargement (remplissage), l’évent (ou le trou d’homme selon le cas) est capté puis collecté dans le réseau des évents de cuves existant (SI ce dernier est une compensation des ciels gazeux, voir paragraphe II.6 parc de cuves)"

"Le raccordement n’est utile qu’au chargement de la citerne pour transférer les gaz de la citerne vers le réseau de captation existant du site ou vers la cuve (par compensation de ciels gazeux)."

"compensation des ciels gazeux des évents de cuves et sortie centrifugeuse si les bacs de collecte (= bac de barbotage) sont remplis d’eau ( ou eau glycolée)"

ciel gazeux seems to mean "expansion space" in the case of a large industrial tank. But what is this "compensation" all about? Also is it possibly to be translated in the sense of "off-setting" or maybe "balancing", rather than "compensation"?

Any insights gratefully received.
