CUTTING EDGE FLARE GAS SOLUTIONS
Gas flaring introduces toxic pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, which can lead to environmental problems such as Releasing particulates that cause acid rains that acidifies water bodies and destroys plants and forests, as well as accelerates the deterioration of buildings and other machinery and the generation of greenhouse gases which contribute to global climate change. Paris Climate Change Agreement which included gas flaring reduction. Majority of flare gas volumes can be captured and utilized in viable investments. Cutting Edge global Energy services has been in the fore front in eliminating flare gas and thereby harnessing the huge potential embed in gas flare capture.
Cutting Edge Global Energy Services with her partners has developed methods to eliminate and convert flare gas into:
- Electricity generation with gas engine or gas turbine driven generators.
- Drive a low temperature absorption refrigeration unit to condense NGL and LPG from separator gas.
- Produce hydrocarbon liquids from the flare gas.
- Fresh potable water from oil field brine or from seawater by burning the flare gas in direct fired evaporators or reverse osmosis pump engines.
- Produce ice using absorption refrigeration driven by heat.
- Use flare gas to incinerate the drill tailings from production mud pits.
GAS TO LIQUIDS (GTL) PLANTS
Gas to liquids (GTL) technology is evolving as an economic means to add value to gas it unravels the challenges of stranded gas by changing the gaseous material to synthetic hydrocarbon liquids that can be transported and sold more easily and cost-effectively.
NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS RECOVERY
Natural gas liquids recovery allows the processor to separate and purify heavier hydrocarbons from natural gas. Heavier hydrocarbons are more likely to condense into liquids under pressure in a pipeline, slowing the flow and increasing the wear on the piping. Extracted hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, and naphtha, can be sold more profitably as separate products.
UREA PRODUCTION
Urea production is a two-step process. Ammonia and carbon dioxide are reacted to form ammonium carbamate, which is then dehydrated to form urea. The urea solution is concentrated by evaporation or crystallization, and the crystals can be melted to produce pure urea as prills or granules. The ammonia is produced using a primary and secondary reformer with a high- pressure ammonia converter. The carbon dioxide is recovered using either pressure swing adsorption or amine absorption. The carbon dioxide can be reused later in the urea production step. The majority of the urea produced worldwide is used for fertilizers. Other applications include livestock feed, urea formaldehyde resins, and engine exhaust systems.
