Flare Gas Recovery in Oil and Gas Refineries

1. Flare Gas Recovery in Oil and Gas Refineries Improper burning and incomplete burning leads to generation of toxic and harmful gaseous pollutants. The produced gases are known to create harmful and deadly effects on human life and the surrounding environment. The Flare gas is also a considerable source of carbon dioxide emissions. Hence utilizing flare gases can help an industry to reduce Energy costs, reduce its Carbon footprint and be responsible to the environment. Traditional Flare Gas handling systems: Since the commencement of Oil and Gas Production and advent of petroleum refineries, little importance was given to the generated flare gas mixtures. This gas was termed as waste gas and was collected in large diameter headers. The gas was then burned off and the combustion products were let off to the Atmosphere. At CrystalTCS, we offer solutions to recover a huge part of the flared gas in a profitable way. We select the most optimal product and process lineup, with short payback times and reduced emissions, and we take care of the equipment procurement, construction and startup. About our flare gas recovery: Traditionally, flare gas recovery is done with re-compression, for example, either for enhanced oil recovery or by re-injecting into the main process. This adds cost but does not add income directly. We believe that it is possible to use a lean and mean process train to turn flare gas into profitable products rather than waste. Depending on the location and available infrastructure, the valuable product can be electricity, LPG, or pipeline-quality natural gas (in order of increasing profitability). In the absence of a nearby gas grid pipeline, production of CNG, LNG, or synthetic crude oil, methanol or dimethylether (via a GTL process) may be more suitable.

2. Ejectors are preferred over Mechanical type Compressors due to the following reasons: Ejectors satisfy the criteria for very long running times without any downtime which is instrumental for Flare Gas Recovery Systems. Ejectors are static devices and require very less maintenance during their operating life. No contamination of gas mixture as the motive fluid is also natural gas and hence the gas mixture at the Ejector Outlet can be injected directly in the Fuel-gas headers. Low Capital costs compared to a Mechanical Compressor. No risk of ignition of gases inside the Ejector.
