Study case of the adsorption unit in the treatment of associated gas for burning

Abstract

The burning of petroleum gas as fuel in simple burners under field conditions as a rule occurs in the detonating regime with low efficiency coefficient and is accompanied by incomplete gas combustion and a considerable emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. The use of an adsorption unit with zeolite filler as a part of fuel pre-burning preparations proposed as a solution to this problem. This paper presents data and information on the application of an adsorption unit in electric power installations for the pre-burning preparation of associated gas in locations of petroleum production. A comparative analysis of the associated gas used before and after the adsorption unit is also described. Methods of research on the effectiveness of the adsorption unit are to determine the service life of zeolite filter depending on the amount of regeneration and time of work in the given conditions. Adsorption unit will clean the gas from heavy hydrocarbons, dry and level out the differences in the composition of the gas associated with the changes in ambient temperature.
