Process Ecology services

The long-term Oil & Gas industry objective is to eliminate routine flaring and venting and minimize non-routine flaring (ERCB, Directive 060). Although best management practices can reduce the frequency of non-routine flaring, emergency flaring is still a required practice to prevent equipment overpressure, catastrophic failures and loss of human life. However flaring and venting should be kept to the minimum that is technically and economically justified.

We have worked with our clients to construct high-fidelity simulation models of gas plants and other facilities that can be used to identify production bottlenecks as well as strategies to overcome these limitations. Through the integration into the simulation of equipment rating and sizing calculation routines, Process Ecology can perform what-if analysis and propose innovative solutions to production problems and optimization opportunities.
