Petroleum & Natural Gas

The petroleum and natural gas processing industries have two main concerns: engineering quality and safety. Anguil is the perfect industry partner to meet both concerns.

Historically, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) plants and oil refineries have used direct-fired thermal oxidizers with no heat recovery for emission treatment of amine tail gases and nitrogen rejection units. While the technology is fairly dependable, effective and still applicable on some processes, they can consume a considerable amount of auxiliary fuel to maintain temperatures of 1,500°F and ensure proper combusted.  A newer, more fuel-efficient technology called the RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) is now being applied on this application where it was once thought impossible. The RTO is capable of 98-99%+ destruction efficiency and can reduce operating costs considerably; some plants have reported over $500,000 in savings annually and a dramatic reduction in their CO2 emissions or carbon footprint.

However, careful consideration must be given to the design and materials of construction to avoid corrosion, equipment failures and non-compliance.  Our oxidizers are built with special materials of construction and design considerations to withstand the corrosive gas streams found at oil and LNG facilities.

Our experience installing equipment in this industry provides customers with extra assurance, backed up by a high standard of supporting documents. Contact us for more information on our oxidation technologies and our reference list.
