Introduction Next Generation Flare system - New design – Unique Technology - Flexibility in operations Environmental Friendly Supporting the markets - Oil & Gas Exploration and Mining - Chemical and Petrochemical - Agricultural and Landfill Scope of the supply Feasibility assessment Licensing , Engineering up to LS Turn Key Leasing/Rental option QTI incinerators successfully operate in a broad spectrum of climates, temperatures and geography in a wide variety of process applications. Questor specializes in sweet and sour hydrocarbon waste gas incineration at well test sites and at facilities and works jointly with clients to design for their specific application and to ensure compliance with federal, state(provincial) and regional regulations.
Waste Gas Incinerators
5 8 February 2012
• Exhaust gases from our Incinerators are combusted at 99.99% efficiency
• No particulate matter, poly-nuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH’s), or unburned hydrocarbons.
• There is no visible flame and no noise. • Over 100% excess air is mixed naturally with
waste gases in a proprietary burner system (at 1350o C internal combustion temperature).
• Unique design: high velocity exhaust vortex
and high stack exit temperature create the most effective plume dispersion available.
• Saving our clients money through:
• Reduced fuel gas consumption, • Lower operating costs, • Less maintenance • Smaller lease sizes and • Heat/power recovery
Why Do We Flare?
6 8 February 2012
Considered and adequate practice: - people assume high efficient Lack of infrastructure and markets for
burned gases Perceived to be cost effective to flare Limited knowledge of alternatives
Flaring Nearly as Significant as Refinery Emissions PFC Energy - 2007
Flare vs QTI-Enclosed Flare
7 8 February 2012
Difficult to measure efficiency and varies from site to site
QTI-Enclosed Flare Flaring Measured independently at 99.99% consistently Heavily influenced by crosswinds allowing
gases to escape unburned
Combustion occurs in a closed chamber unaffected by winds Difficulty burning rich gases often
producing soot deposits and black smoke (BTEX, VOC, PAH)
High temperatures efficiently burn rich gas. Air pre-mixed with the waste gas prior to combustion Not effected by liquid droplet size Entrained liquid droplets decrease
combustion efficiency Visible Flame
No visible flame
Combustion of hydrocarbons
8 8 February 2012
99.99 % combustion requires the right mix of air and fuel CH4 + 2 O2 = heat + CO2 + 2 H2O Methane + Oxygen = heat + carbon dioxide + water Unburned hydrocarbons Carbon monoxide
Volatile organic hydrocarbons or VOC’s (benzene, toluene, styrene, xylenes etc.)
Sulphur compounds besides SO2: H2S, carbonyl sulfide, carbonyl disulfide, mercaptans
+ over 250 other compounds identified in the research
Poor combustion results in the creation of :
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
9 8 February 2012
The emissions are greater than the emissions focused under the Kyoto Protocol – CDM
(Clean Development Mechanism)
The Global Warming Potential of methane is 21 times higher than that of CO2 and therefore inefficient combustion increases the greenhouse gases emitted
For example : 19 mscf/day (~540 m3/day) of waste methane gas generates these daily CO2 emissions:
T/day T/year
• Vented 7.6 2775 • 65% combustion efficiency 3.3 1205 • 80% combustion efficiency 2.3 840 • Incineration* (99.99%) 1.0 365 Incineration converts 99.99% of the methane to CO2 and H2O. * Incineration – QTI Enclosed Flare System

Questor incinerators have been independently tested and verified that they combust waste gas streams at an efficiency rate of >99.99% thereby converting waste streams to less hazardous and manageable emissions, such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and sulfur dioxide. Questor incinerators are often deployed in areas where there is the potential for resident concerns. QTI’s proprietary combustion technology safely and reliably addresses issues relating to visibility, odors, air quality and compliance.

Close spacing

Questor incinerators are equipped with a number of safeguards that prevent any communication between the internal incinerator process and the environment external to the incinerator. It is these features that allow the incinerator to be placed immediately adjacent to the other process equipment. The continuous pilot is flash arrested with the same type used on reboilers or lineheaters, so that there is no possibility of igniting any combustible vapours outside of the incinerator. The waste gas stream is protected with a 3-inch ANSI rated flame arrestor which also prevents the possibility of any flash back on the waste stream extending outside of the incinerator.

The QTI system utilizes natural air draw and therefore avoids potential downtime that is often associated with assisted air and waste intakes systems such as blowers and fans. When applicable, the incorporation of a solar panel power system ensures reliable and remote operation with the capability of stored power for seven (7) days without direct sunlight.

Current design ensures compatibility with a marine environment including coatings and corrosion resistant materials.
Structural provisions are also incorporated to ensure that the incinerator will be adequately anchored and of sufficient strength to withstand the anticipated forces resulting from the offshore environment
In order to ensure the incinerator package would be suitable for the marine environment, we have developed supplemental design solutions to mitigate corrosion on areas not adequately protected against marine conditions.
With respect to corrosion mitigation, the following parameters have been included in Questor's incinerator design from a metallurgical perspective: The incinerator exterior shall be coated with thermal arc aluminum spray process. This technique
will provide an extremely high level of corrosion mitigation. Components which cannot be coated as in the above shall: 1. be constructed from corrosion resistant material and/or coated with a marine paint, or 2. be constructed from titanium The incinerator shell interior shall be coated with mastic and then covered with a layer of
refractory insulation. We have provided design proposals for five offshore applications in the Gulf of Mexico. Each application requires the safe and efficient combustion of waste gas streams of > 14 MM scf/d and with an H2S content of up to 21%.
