Oil and Gas Production
One of the largest independent processors of natural gas and natural gas liquids in North America was in search of a new amine tail gas treatment technology at their natural gas processing facility.

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
