Flare Gas Recovery

Flare Gas Recovery Traditionally, in the Oil & Gas industry, waste and surplus gas has been disposed of by flaring to atmosphere. Today this process is becoming increasingly unacceptable as the industry progresses towards eliminating the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, whilst simultaneously conserving energy.

Our Flare Gas Recovery Units are installed in numerous refineries, oil fields and gas fields worldwide. They can handle flows ranging from 200 to 6.000 m3/h (850 to 26.500 gpm), 1.2 to 30 bar (18 to 450 psi) for sliding vane based Flare Gas Recovery Units, and from 1.200 to 15.000 m3/h (5.200 to 66.000 gpm), 1.2 to 4.7 bar (18 to 70 psi) for liquid ring based Flare Gas Recovery Units In Petroleum refineries, Natural gas processing plants and in Oil and gas Production sites, mixture of natural gases is generated from the below sources: 1. Extraction of Natural Gas along with oil from oil wells, 2. Gases formed above the liquid level in storage tanks 3. Flashing of high pressure crude to low pressures.

This gas consists of a mixture of various hydrocarbons and is also known as associated petroleum gas.

The Gas is flammable in nature and its composition varies from plant to plant and will also vary with time over the operating life of the plant/Oil-well.

Crystaltcs facility’s safety depends on properly integrating the Flare Gas Recovery System into the relief header and the flare system.Each gas contaminant and each gas product influence the optimal lineup of treatment steps, and expertise is required to quickly evaluate these. An internal study focusing on Iran has shown that approximately 50-70% of the currently flared gas resources in Iran can actually be made into valuable products with a payback period.

Need for Flare Gas Recovery: Flare Gas being a combination of petroleum gases can be used as a source of Energy. An industrial survey has indicated that the amount of Gas burned in the Flare Stacks throughout the world in the year 2011 amounted to almost USD 29.8 billion.

Utilizing Flare gases helps the plant to cut down on its Energy costs and also create an in-house Fuel source.

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 Flaring of Flare gas is also a considerable source of carbon di-oxide emissions.

Hence utilizing flare gases can help an industry to reduce Energy costs, reduce its Carbon footprint and be responsible to the environment.

Application: Flare Gas Recovery Systems can following processes:  

Isolating the flare header with a proprietary-design liquid seal or staging valve Recovering normally flared gases and delivering them back into the facility so they can be processed and re-used as fuel gas



Removing liquids

 

Compressing gases up to a defined pressure level Cooling recovered gases

Our liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors are renowned for:  rugged design construction - making them tolerant to carryover from process upsets  low maintenance requirements - best up-time in the industry  cool-running - making them ideal for handling the explosive gases found in refinery applications, with pressures up to 215 PSIA (14.8 bar)  the largest and most experienced technical staff in the industry  comprehensive value-added centers throughout the world.

Crystaltcs has provided complete flare gas recovery compressor systems that comply with environmental regulations and provide an immediate return on investment through the reuse of captured flare gas as valuable fuel or feedstock.
