Abstract

A significant fraction of the natural gas produced in the U.S. contains acid gases--primarily hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2)--in sufficiently high concentrations as to be considered subquality. These contaminants must be removed for the gas to be safely and economically transported. The report presents the results of a project undertaken for GRI to assemble in a single document information on: (1) the identity and characteristics of the waste streams produced by the major gas sweetening and sulfur recovery processes; (2) the possible effects of process chemistry and the nature of the gas being treated on waste characteristics; (3) currently available options for waste stream disposition; and (4) the effects of environmental regulations, both current and foreseeable, on waste stream disposition.

Evaluation of the Exxon CFZ and CNG-Claus process for the treatment of subquality natural gas. Final report, May-November 1991

Technical Report Cole, E; Valencia, J; Cook, W; ...

Vast quantities of subquality natural gas exist which are unsuitable for conventional gas treating. The CFZ technology developed by Exxon Production Research and the TPC technology developed by CNG Research Company can be integrated to process subquality natural gas. These low temperature processes can produce pipeline spec natural gas from subquality gas containing more than 10% carbon dioxide and any amount of hydrogen sulfide. The CO2 can be separated as a high pressure stream suitable for re-injection, reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, or as high purity CO2 for commercial applications. Two cases are examined at a scale of 20more »« less

Low Quality Natural Gas Sulfur Removal and Recovery CNG Claus Sulfur Recovery Process

Conference Klint, V; Dale, P; Stephenson, C

Increased use of natural gas (methane) in the domestic energy market will force the development of large non-producing gas reserves now considered to be low quality. Large reserves of low quality natural gas (LQNG) contaminated with hydrogen sulfide (H{sub 2}S), carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) and nitrogen (N) are available but not suitable for treatment using current conventional gas treating methods due to economic and environmental constraints. A group of three technologies have been integrated to allow for processing of these LQNG reserves; the Controlled Freeze Zone (CFZ) process for hydrocarbon / acid gas separation; the Triple Point Crystallizer (TPC) processmore »« less

Low-Quality Natural Gas Sulfur Removal/Recovery System

Conference Lokhandwala, K; Ringer, M; Wijams, H; ...

Natural gas provides more than one-fifth of all the primary energy used in the United States. Much raw gas is `subquality`, that is, it exceeds the pipeline specifications for nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and/or hydrogen sulfide content, and much of this low-quality natural gas cannot be produced economically with present processing technology. Against this background, a number of industry-wide trends are affecting the natural gas industry. Despite the current low price of natural gas, long-term demand is expected to outstrip supply, requiring new gas fields to be developed. Several important consequences will result. First, gas fields not being used because ofmore »« less

Surface acoustic wave sensors/gas chromatography; and Low quality natural gas sulfur removal and recovery CNG Claus sulfur recovery process

Technical Report Klint, B; Dale, P; Stephenson, C

This topical report consists of the two titled projects. Surface Acoustic Wave/Gas Chromatography (SAW/GC) provides a cost-effective system for collecting real-time field screening data for characterization of vapor streams contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The Model 4100 can be used in a field screening mode to produce chromatograms in 10 seconds. This capability will allow a project manager to make immediate decisions and to avoid the long delays and high costs associated with analysis by off-site analytical laboratories. The Model 4100 is currently under evaluation by the California Environmental Protection Agency Technology Certification Program. Initial certification focuses upon themore »« less
