Replacing of mechanical compressors by gas ejectors in flare gas recovery systems
One of the main concerns of humankind in this century is the global warming induced by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A promising process for controlling the atmospheric CO2 level is prevention of combustion in flares causing high losses of raw material and energy that could generate more desired products. In the present work, a flare gas recovery unit (FGRU) ...

Tech Note: Flare Gas Measurement Innovation; Retain Flow Metering Accuracy Even if Gas Composition Changes
It’s a fact oil wells almost always produce natural gas along with the petroleum. Nine times out of ten, the excess gas (typically hydrocarbons) is flared off or simply vented as-is during upset conditions in the process. The environmental impacts of “flaring” this excess gas into our atmosphere has resulted in government regulations like 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO (also known ...

Case study - Agiba Gas Power Generation
Proserve has recently carried out a power generation project with Agiba Petroleum Company in the western desert of Egypt to utilize the waste free flare gas instead of the very expensive fossil diesel fuel to power the oil production wells ‘pumps. The project faced several technical challenges. The associated gas has a low methane number” less than 45”, which necessitated a ...

Flare Gas Power Pant, Majdan, Serbia - Case Study
The oil field at Majdan, Serbia had excess Assosiated Petroleum Gas (APG). Due to the low heating value and high CO2 content, this gas used to be flared. In 2016 RSE installed a fully containerized power plant with 5 units ENERGIN GEN G500 installed in three containers. The gas cleaning system to remove traces of siloxanes and H2S was also supplied by ...

Introducing a Game Changing Flare Measurement Technology
Meet EPA’s Refinery Regulations with our New Game-Changing qMix RealTime Flare Measurement System (FMS) A refinery at full capacity produces far more gas than it needs. It is not economical to capture it, clean it, compress it, store it, and finally transport it, so it’s flared off. Stringent federal, state, and local laws govern the flaring process. As time has gone on, the laws ...

Pollution reduction from flares by swirl vanes in a cross-flow
The effect of swirl on the performance of a flare stack was experimentally investigated as a passive control technique for combustion in a cross-flow. The burner comprised a circular fuel nozzle with a co-annular airflow, swirled by a concentric vane swirler, with a crosswind of air at the flare tip. It was found that the flames issuing from swirl-vane flare tip were shorter and had wider flame ...

Evaluating gas-flaring-related carbon emission performance in the Nigerian upstream sector: a comparison of duo methods
This paper uses DEA-based and non-DEA-based environmental performance measurement methods to develop and evaluate gas-flaring-related carbon emission performance indexes for dominant companies in the Nigerian upstream sector. The study relies on empirical data collected from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s Annual Statistical Bulletins. Indexes developed from the two methods are ...

Gas flaring in developing countries – need for kyoto mechanisms or sectoral crediting mechanisms?
Gas flaring is a phenomenon that is wasteful in terms of valuable resources as well as a contributor to global GHG emissions, and occurs mostly in developing countries. It can only be mitigated through long-term and strategic investments, involving a myriad of stakeholders. A crediting mechanism could be seen as a starting point to create incentives for both private and public parties to build ...

Multipoint systems measure flare gases – Case Study
To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, many companies reuse their biogas for cogeneration, but the amount of biogas produced often exceeds the amount needed for cogeneration. In such cases, it is often not economical to purify, compress and store the gas for later use, so it is flared off. Accurate mass flow instrumentation is essential for these companies to comply with the new EPA ...
