Slide 10: What Is Incineration?
WHAT IS INCINERATION? • Controlled combustion of waste gases in an enclosed combustion chamber with: 9 control temperature and air intake 9 pre-mixed air and fuel, 9 specific retention time, and 9 an ignition source, 9 Measured combustion efficiency of 99.99% 9 Effective dispersion of the combustion
Slide 11: Flaring Incineration
FLARING INCINERATION • Difficult to measure efficiency 9 Measured independently at 99.99% and varies from site to site consistently • Heavily influenced by crosswinds 9 Combustion occurs in a closed allowing gases to escape chamber unaffected by winds unburned • Difficulty burning rich gases often 9
Slide 12: Combustion of Hydrocarbons
COMBUSTION OF HYDROCARBONS 99.99% combustion requires the right mix of air and fuel CH4 + 2 O2 = heat + CO2 + 2 H2 O Methane + Oxygen = heat + Carbon Dioxide + Water Poor combustion results in the creation of: 9Unburned hydrocarbons 9Carbon monoxide 9volatile organic hydrocarbons or VOC’s benzene, s
Slide 13: Greenhouse Gas Emissions
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS • The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of methane is 21 times higher than that of CO22 and therefore inefficient combustion increases the greenhouse gases emitted • For example: 19 mscf/d of waste methane gas generates these daily CO22 emissions : T/d T/d T/yr T/yr • Vented Ve
Slide 14: TransCanada pilot tests with Questor portable incinerator
In both pilot tests Questor technology's portable incinerator was used. In each case approximately 75 per cent of the remaining gas was incinerated. Questor incinerators use a vortex combustion system to achieve 99 per cent combustion efficiency. - “ Methane Incineration for both GHG Emission Compar
Slide 15: How it Works
How it Works • Proprietary gas burner control creates a high velocity vortex • Air is naturally drawn in • Air and fuel premixed • Refractory oo lined chamber –– 1200 1200 C C stack stack top top temperature temperature • Optimal SO22 dispersion with velocity, temperature, and “effective height”
Slide 16: Technology Assessment
Technology Assessment Shell Canada / EUB and CAPP test in January 2000 •Tested at 2 rates - 2.5 and 4.8 MMscf/d •Sour gas (11% H22S) •Questor 5MMscf/d incinerator - 40 ft stack Results: •99.99% combustion efficiency - at both rates •Plume rise of over 250 meters – comparable to a 110 ft flare stack

Slide 21: Why Consider Incineration as a Solution
Why Consider Incineration as a Solution • Incineration technology is an improvement over existing flaring: 1. Uses 80% less fuel than a flare to achieve efficient combustion of low heat content gases 2. Single incinerator processes variable pressure waste gas streams concurrently 3. More efficient c
Slide 22: Acid Gas Destruction
ACID GAS DESTRUCTION • 20% H22S / 60% CO22 • 80 % less fuel than a flare. • Reduced fuel usage from 1410 m33/d to 290 m33/d (50 to 10 mcf/d) • Payout in 4 months • Reduced greenhouse gas emissions • Thank you from the land owner Compton Clayhurst Facility 250 mcf/d Incinerator Unit
