Flare Gas Recovery
Aug 2020
Introduction
• Around the world, billions of cubic feet of natural gas is

flared on a daily basis
• This flared gas is often associated gas from more valuable
crude oil production
• Typically the production facilities will be located in remote
location with limited consumers for Natural Gas
• Many countries now are restricting flaring associated gas
due to environmental impact
Introduction con’t
• RJT has developed modular flare gas recovery units to help

monetize the associated flared gas and maintain
compliance with local regulatory requirements
• RJT’s modular flare recovery units can be installed with
limited CAPEX and on fast track basis so you can stop
“burning your money”
• RJT also has creative lease and processing fee options for
end users to consider
RUAYAT ALJANUB Co. (RJT) Profile
• RJT provides solutions to the upstream and downstream
Oil and Gas Industry
• RJT designs and builds oil, gas and refinery facilities
• RJT Operates, Maintains, and Manages Facilities
• RJT offers Personnel Training
• RJT also leverages service capability to develop and co-
invest in upstream and downstream projects
Flare Gas Recovery Process
• Depending on the composition and the outlet
requirements of the product Gas and Condensate, there
are different technologies and configurations to consider.
• There are four primary steps for Flare Gas Recovery
• Inlet Gas Compression
• Gas Sweetening (if applicable)
• Gas Dehydration and HCDPC
• Condensate Stabilization
• Inlet Gas Compression
• Flare Gas typically will come from various separators which
operate at different pressure. The lower pressure Gas will be
required to be compressed
• On lower capacity Gas Requirements and lower outlet discharge
pressures (< 600 psi), Screw Compressors can be a good fit
• For larger capacity gas flowrates and higher discharge pressure
requirements, Multistage Reciprocating Compressors are good
option
• Where Gas is coming from varying sources at different pressures,
the operating pressure of the compressor stages are optimized to
reduce overall compressor hP.
• Gas Sweetening
• Some associated gas may have high concentrations of H2S and CO2
making the gas “sour”
• Treatment of this gas is required to sweeten the gas
• Amines are common method of sweetening the gas
• Molecular Sieves may also be suitable solution in certain
conditions
• Outlet from these units will usually leave H2S < 4 ppm in Gas
• Gas Dehydration and HCDPC
• When selecting the correct technology for HCDPC, design must
consider sales HCDPC specification and sales gas pressure
• Where lower sales gas pressures are accepted, EG Injection with JT
valve (Joules Thompson) may be a good solution
• Where higher sales gas pressure must be maintained or when the sales
gas HC Dew Point Specification is too low for JT Valve alone to achieve
requirement, EG Injection with Mechanical Refrigeration can meet
these requirements
• In certain applications, Silica Gels may be utilized to achieve the desired
results
• Gas usually will be dehydrated to 7 lb/MMSCF with 32 F HCDP (in
countries with colder environments, possible to achieve lower
depression)
• Condensate Stabilization
• Condensate from the HCDPC unit needs to usually be stabilized <
12 psi RVP
• Stabilization Column with Reboiler is typical arrangement
• Unit can also be installed with OH Cooler and Separator to extract
“LPG”.
Typical Process Schematic
The RJT Advantage
• Modularization minimizes site work and therefore allows for
significant time savings for plant installation and start up
• Standard package can be tested in RJT facility prior to shipment
• Multiple modules can be installed in parallel to achieve higher
production rates as required
• RJT can offer O&M services once the units are installed
• Payback periods often within 18 months
Costing and Financing
• RJT is able to offer competitive pricing with its in-house
engineering and manufacturing capabilities
• RJT can also leverage its manufacturing and engineering
costs to minimize initial Capital investment in exchange for
an equity in the facility
• RJT also offers “processing fee” based solutions to the
client
Conclusion
• RJT offers a COMPLETE solution for modular flare gas
solutions
• By implementing a successful flare gas project, operators
can help reduce their environmental impact and begin to
monetize their flare gas to stop “burning money”
• RJT can help take potential opportunities from conception
to realization
• RJT offers a variety of project models to fit the needs of
most customers
