The gas being flared today from your oil
well, landfill or waste treatment plant could
be used to provide heat and power for your
facility or community. Putting flare gas to
work for generation means reducing
emissions and decreasing your reliance on
distant power plants fueled by natural gas
and coal. In addition, flare gas recovery can
cut your utility bills or create a new source of
revenue. In many areas, incentive programs
are available to help pay for new generating
equipment.

Our waste-to-energy and waste to fuel systems significantly or entirely, reduces your facility's
emissions (such as NOx, SOx, H2S, CO, CO2 and other Hazardous Air
Pollutants/Greenhouse Gases) and convert these valuable emissions from an
environmental problem into a new cash revenue stream and profit center.
Flare gas recovery and vapor recovery units can be located in hundreds of applications and
locations. At a Wastewaster Treatment System (or Publicly Owned Treatment Works -
"POTW") gases from the facility can be captured from the anaerobic digesters, and
manifolded/piped to one of our onsite power generation plants, and make, essentially, "free"
electricity for your facility's use. These associated "biogases" that are generated from
municipally owned landfills or wastewater treatment plants have low btu content or heating
values, ranging around 550-650 btu's. This makes them unsuitable for use in natural gas
applications. When burned as fuel to generate electricity, however, these gases become a
valuable source of "renewable" power and energy for the facility's use or resale to the electric
grid.
Additionally, if heat (steam and/or hot water) is required, we will incorporate our
cogeneration or trigeneration system into the project and provide some, or all, of your hot
water/steam requirements. Similarly, at crude oil refineries, gas processing plants,
exploration and production sites, and gasoline storage/tank farm site, we convert your
facility's "waste fuel" and environmental liabilities into profitable, environmentally-friendly
solutions.
Our Flare Gas Recovery and Vapor Recovery units that are designed and engineered for
these specific applications. It is important to note that there are many internal combustion
engines or combustion turbines that are NOT suited for these applications. Our systems
are engineered precisely for your facility's application, and our engineers know the engines
and turbines that will work as well as those that don't. More importantly, we are vendor and
supplier neutral! Our only concerns are for the optimum system solution for your company,
and we look past brand names and sales propaganda to determine the optimum system,
which may incorporate either one or more; gas engine genset(s) or gas turbine genset(s), in
cogeneration or trigeneration mode - in trigeneration mode, we incorporate absorption
chillers to make chilled water for process or air-conditioning, fuel gas conditioning
equipment and gas compressor(s).
Our turn-key systems includes design, engineering, permitting, project management,
commissioning, as well as financing for our qualified customers. Additionally, we may be
interested in owning and operating the flare gas recovery or vapor recovery units. For these
applications, there is no investment required from the customer.
For more information, please provide us with the following information about the flare gas or
vapor:
* Type of gas being flared or vented (methane, bio-gas, landfill, etc.).
* Chromatograph Fuel/Gas analysis which provides us with the btu's (heating value) and the
composition of the gas and its' impurities such as methane (and the percentage of
methane), soloxanes, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and any other
hydrocarbons.
* Total amount of gas available, from all sources, at the facility.
More than 150 billion cubic meters (bcm) (or
5.3 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas are being
flared and vented annually worldwide—
equivalent to 25% of the United States’ gas
consumption or 30% of the European Union’
s, according to the GGFR. The annual 40 bcm
(or 1.4 trillion cubic feet) of gas flared in Africa
alone is equivalent to half of that continent’s
power consumption.

* Waste Heat Recovery
Many industrial processes generate large amounts of waste energy that simply pass out of
plant stacks and into the atmosphere or are otherwise lost. Most industrial waste heat
streams are liquid, gaseous, or a combination of the two and have temperatures from
slightly above ambient to over 2000 degrees F. Stack exhaust losses are inherent in all fuel-
fired processes and increase with the exhaust temperature and the amount of excess air the
exhaust contains. At stack gas temperatures greater than 1000 degrees F, the heat going up
the stack is likely to be the single biggest loss in the process. Above 1800 degrees F, stack
losses will consume at least half of the total fuel input to the process. Yet, the energy that is
recovered from waste heat streams could displace part or all of the energy input needs for a
unit operation within a plant. Therefore, waste heat recovery offers a great opportunity to
productively use this energy, reducing overall plant energy consumption and greenhouse
gas emissions.
Waste heat recovery methods used with industrial process heating operations intercept the
waste gases before they leave the process, extract some of the heat they contain, and recycle
that heat back to the process.
Common methods of recovering heat include direct heat recovery to the process,
recuperators/regenerators, and waste heat boilers. Unfortunately, the economic benefits of
waste heat recovery do not justify the cost of these systems in every application. For example,
heat recovery from lower temperature waste streams (e.g., hot water or low-temperature flue
gas) is thermodynamically limited. Equipment fouling, occurring during the handling of “dirty”
waste streams, is another barrier to more widespread use of heat recovery systems.
Innovative, affordable waste heat recovery methods that are ultra-efficient, are applicable to
low-temperature streams, or are suitable for use with corrosive or “dirty” wastes could
expand the number of viable applications of waste heat recovery, as well as improve the
performance of existing applications.
Various Methods for Recovery of Waste Heat
Low-Temperature Waste Heat Recovery Methods – A large amount of energy in the form of
medium- to low-temperature gases or low-temperature liquids (less than about 250 degrees
F) is released from process heating equipment, and much of this energy is wasted.
Conversion of Low Temperature Exhaust Waste Heat – making efficient use of the low
temperature waste heat generated by prime movers such as micro-turbines, IC engines, fuel
cells and other electricity producing technologies. The energy content of the waste heat must
be high enough to be able to operate equipment found in cogeneration and trigeneration
power and energy systems such as absorption chillers, refrigeration applications, heat
amplifiers, dehumidifiers, heat pumps for hot water, turbine inlet air cooling and other similar
devices.
Conversion of Low Temperature Waste Heat into Power –The steam-Rankine cycle is the
principle method used for producing electric power from high temperature fluid streams. For
the conversion of low temperature heat into power, the steam-Rankine cycle may be a
possibility, along with other known power cycles, such as the organic-Rankine cycle.
Small to Medium Air-Cooled Commercial Chillers – All existing commercial chillers, whether
using waste heat, steam or natural gas, are water-cooled (i.e., they must be connected to
cooling towers which evaporate water into the atmosphere to aid in cooling). This
requirement generally limits the market to large commercial-sized units (150 tons or larger),
because of the maintenance requirements for the cooling towers. Additionally, such units
consume water for cooling, limiting their application in arid regions of the U.S. No suitable
small-to-medium size (15 tons to 200 tons) air-cooled absorption chillers are commercially
available for these U.S. climates. A small number of prototype air-cooled absorption chillers
have been developed in Japan, but they use “hardware” technology that is not suited to the
hotter temperatures experienced in most locations in the United States. Although developed
to work with natural gas firing, these prototype air-cooled absorption chillers would also be
suited to use waste heat as the fuel.
Recovery of Waste Heat in Cogeneration and Trigeneration Power Plants
In most cogeneration and trigeneration power and energy systems, the exhaust gas from the
electric generation equipment is ducted to a heat exchanger to recover the thermal energy in
the gas. These heat exchangers are air-to-water heat exchangers, where the exhaust gas
flows over some form of tube and fin heat exchange surface and the heat from the exhaust
gas is transferred to make hot water or steam. The hot water or steam is then used to
provide hot water or steam heating and/or to operate thermally activated equipment, such as
an absorption chiller for cooling or a desiccant dehumidifer for dehumidification.
Many of the waste heat recovery technologies used in building co/trigeneration systems
require hot water, some at moderate pressures of 15 to 150 psig. In the cases where
additional steam or pressurized hot water is needed, it may be necessary to provide
supplemental heat to the exhaust gas with a duct burner.
In some applications air-to-air heat exchangers can be used. In other instances, if the
emissions from the generation equipment are low enough, such as is with many of the
microturbine technologies, the hot exhaust gases can be mixed with make-up air and vented
directly into the heating system for building heating.
In the majority of installations, a flapper damper or "diverter" is employed to vary flow across
the heat transfer surfaces of the heat exchanger to maintain a specific design temperature of
the hot water or steam generation rate.
