The emission control system is one of the most important systems in your car and it needs to be maintained throughout its lifetime. Moreover, due to the rise in the pollution level, stringent laws and regulations are being implemented in the automobile industry to check vehicular emission. In this context, it is imperative for every car owner to know about the various important parts of the emission control system. Go through the slide to know about the different parts of the emission control system of your car.

Please join GEO Inc. for a technical presentation on C3™ Technology (Cooling, Compression, Condensation) that will provide regulators, consultants, and field applicators with an understanding of the appropriate and diverse uses of this advanced vapor extraction and treatment system. Additionally, this slideshow will help identify when C3 Technology should be used, and how to apply the technology most effectively to achieve optimal efficiency and output rates.
Selas Heat Technology, a global leader in combustion equipment and energy savings combustion equipment, has services and technology to help reduce natural gas use. Applications are focused on boilers, burners and heat process equipment.
Clean Energy Compression Corporations’ roots go back over 100 years to a Blacksmith’s shop in Chilliwack where Ironsides Machining & Welding was established in 1912.
Over decades of custom fabrication, Clean Energy Compression became an early adopter of compressed natural gas in 1984 and began building CNG fueling systems for station operators.
Maximizing production in gassy wells produced by electrical submersible pumpi...josesciancalepore
Maximizing production in high gaswells produced with artificial lift systems is one of the greatest challenges operators face daily. The accumulation of gas inside an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) creates a condition called “gas locking”, which prevents fluid production and leads to system shutdown. Multiple shutdowns and frequent Gas Locking negatively affect the runlife and profitability of ESP systems. However, the impacts of gas accumulation in ESP applications can be mitigated by implementing intelligent frequency control software included in Variable Speed Drives (VSD’s) specifically designed to control and protect ESP’s.

1. 2015: Morethan a year ago I was invited to join an off shorede-complexing team
as a Rotating Specialist (Oil-gas and Power). Goalof the project is to cut on OPEX
and CAPEX off shore. All complex gas treatments on platformmust be converted
to simply wet gas operations. Gas engines and gas generators mustbe able to run
on wet gas. In the meantime several equipment has been assed and selected,
frombooster and condensate loading pumps, to natural gas generators, for
power supply on the platforms. Platforms mustbe converted fromfully manned
operation to Normally Unmanned Installation (NUI). Phaseoneis almost finalized.
All kinds of natural gas and BTEX emissions offshoresolved.
After 15 yrs of compressor vibration problems and more than 15 attempts by
OEM, problems solvedwithin3 months .Frominitial startup this compressor
suffered fromheavy vibrations. Equipment: a seven stage centrifugal compressor
for natural gas industry (off shore)/Driver: LM1600 gas turbine/Operating speed:
10600 RPM/Maximumcontinuous speed: 12000 RPM/Trip speed: 12600 RPM
Findings: engineers did not follow the right sequence and procedures to solvethis
vibration problem. Fail to discuss findings during this repair process with OEM
specialists and not following the right sequence led to morethan 15 attempts
without solving the problem. No doubt these millions of euros could havebeen
saved. How could these millions been saved: I am willing to explain my personal
findings to managers interested. Engineers who recognizethis case might feel
uncomfortable, which is not my intention. My personaldrive and duty: find a
professionalsolution for the problemwith at least 95%+performanceat firstgo,
what is the best fit for the duty and how do we keep OPEX and CAPEX as low as
possible.
2014:Assessed and selected several equipment e.g. diaphragm pumps for natural
condensateservice:
For many years condensatepumps caused leakage problems (BTEX: bezene,
toluene, xylene) on off shoreplatforms. Challenge here was of courselow density
of natural gas condensateand low head.
2. BTEX leakages solvedwithin3 months:After many years of BTEX leakage
problems, environments issues and thousands of engineering hours, costs and
attempts to solvethese problems, BTEX leakage problems were solved within 3
months.
Assess andselect off gas engine running on wet gas, remote controlled, at least
2500 maintenance free running hours and comply withBEMS NOx legislations:
Equipment: Natural gas engine running on wet gas for off shoreuse/Remote
control/2500 maintenancefree running hours (no intermediate oil filling, coolant
filling, valve adjustmentor spark plug replacement)/No urea or ammonia allowed
for e.g. SCR systemoff shore/Use3 way catalystsystem(Lambda=1 engine
required)/If fleet consistof lean burn engines, bring engines back to Lambda=1
engines with air fuel ratio controller. Useoxygen sensor and 3 way catalyst
systemto comply with BEMS. Rich burn natural gas engines was selected
complete with 3 way catalyst systemand comply with BEMS. Quotations of
vendor show millions of euros to make rich burn engines if lean burn and solve
NOx problems. With only a few thousand euros problems can be solved to comply
with BEMS. Engine was selectedsuccessfully: gas generator complete with
catalyst, no urea, no ammonia, at least 2500 maintenancefree running hours and
meet BEMS requirements 340 mg/Nm3 @ 3% O2.
Findings: engineers were not fully equipped to challenge vendors on methane
combustion, type of engines rich burn or lean burn, air fuel ratio controllers,
oxygen sensors, BEMS requirements and fuel valves but go for a trial and error
approach. This approach is the quickest way to increase your OPEX and CAPEX.
Timing of implementation also saves a lot of money. Why did it take that long to
assess and select? : No doubt these millions of euros could have been saved. How
could these millions been saved: I am willing to explain my personalfindings to
managers interested. Engineers who recognize this casemight feel
uncomfortable, which is not my intention. My personaldrive and duty: find a
professionalsolution for the problemwith at least 95%+performanceat firstgo,
what is the best fit for the duty and how do we keep OPEX and CAPEX as low as
possible.
