Flaring waste gases provides no benefit whatsoever. This process does not negate satisfactorily the damage to the environment and the degradation of the quality of life for neighboring communities. Furthermore, valuable revenue that could be obtained through the use of modern waste disposal technologies is practically burned into thin air.
Why waste energy and money by using a polluting process?
Today’s technology can turn around this problem and make it a source of profit in every aspect. Landfills, refineries and the mining of gas and oil are just a few of the activities that can take advantage of their by-production of waste gases. Leading-edge technology permits the generation of electricity and useful thermal energy from them, while minimizing, at the same time, their adverse environmental effects.
The 250kW system provides clean, continuous power to a facility while it recovers heat for greater efficiency in on site heating, cooling and hot water systems. It is the cleanest burning and most robust gas turbine suitable for industrial or commercial applications, such as active landfills, refineries, steel industry and any other process that directs waste gases to a torch.
FlexEnergy technology enables customers to generate continuous energy from low caloric value gases while attaining extremely low emissions of NOx, CO and VOC’s.
Hydrocarbon fuels can result from many operations along the oil/gas recovery stream. “Raw” gases associated with upstream recovery operations can often be conditioned for direct use with a turbine. Hydrocarbon constituents can be used as fuel as long as sufficient dew point suppression can be maintained.
The Flex Turbine MT250™ operates effectively using a wide range of
gaseous fuels. Its ability to adjust the combustion turbine technology, allows the MT250 to make clean and efficient fuel consumption of a broad spectrum of caloric values – even with gas 30% methane content. Thus, low-fuel blends (biogas) or too high in energy (natural gas) that other technologies are unable to exploit, the MT250 reclaims them.
