Monitoring the Natural Gas Processing Industry
Natural-gas processing is a complex industrial process designed to clean raw natural gas by separating impurities and various non-methane hydrocarbons and fluids to produce what is known as pipeline quality dry natural gas. Waste that is created as result of the cleaning process is dumped into a flare stack, which presents an opportunity for gas monitoring.
One of their natural gas processing customers wanted to use their waste gas stream to supplement the fuel supply that operates their flare stack. The heating value of the waste gas stream varied over a wide range, very lean at some times and very rich at others. They needed to identify the heating value of the waste stream to determine whether it could be used as a standalone fuel source. The heating value of the waste stream had to be at least 200-250 BTU/scf for complete combustion to occur otherwise assist gas would have be added to the flare. By adding our CalorVal Analyzer they would get a continuous heating value measurement of the varying waste stream.
