Sep-Pro Ammonia Water Absorption Refrigeration Systems and the other solutions listed below provide a much better use for the flare gas waste that’s produced during oil and gas processing. Gas that is flared into the atmosphere represents both an environmental hazard and a lost opportunity for profitable use of the gas. In recent years there has been an international consensus to eliminate the flaring of gas from oil and gas processing. So instead of wasting the gas by flaring it into the atmosphere, the gas can be turned into a source of additional revenue by implementing the following Sep-Pro process solutions.
Sep-Pro Solutions
Ammonia Absorption Refrigeration (AAR)
Flare gas can provide a ready energy source for this economical alternative to conventional mechanical refrigeration, reducing electricity expenses for chilling in a variety of applications.
Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) & Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Heavier hydrocarbons in the gas are extracted into valuable components which can be used on-site or transported to market. LPG plants are specialized to focus on propane and butane.
Gas to Liquids (GTL)
Gas to liquids plants convert flare gas into low vapor pressure hydrocarbon liquids such as diesel oil. These liquids can be easily transported via ground vehicles or used on-site for power production and running equipment.
Urea Production
Transforming flare gas into urea creates a valuable product from an otherwise wasted resource. Urea is commonly used as fertilizer which can be sold as a commodity or used on local farmland.
Desalination Plants & Brine Reduction
Flare gas can power desalination plants that produce clean drinking water and sea salt. Our desalination systems can also treat brackish water byproducts from oil fields for more responsible and space-efficient disposal.
