Meeting 1 Team: India Plant: Gas Cleanup and Water Recycle Plant
Members: Lynette Hernandez, Hsin Ting Hsieh, Alexander J. Palmas, and Jose L. Ortiz Mentor: Patrick H. Shannon

Chemical precipitation system
Block Flow Diagram Frac Water Activate hydro carbon organics Dirty Frac Water (Assume 1 million std ft3 per day) Salt Removal Chemical precipitation system sludge Sand filter Biological Oxidation Clean Frac Water DGF Separator hydrocarbons
3
What’s in the Frac Water?

4
Frac Water Cleaning 4 From the BFD: Solid removal and desalting
Need to get rid of sulfates, phosphates, carbonates, etc. pH adjustment Remove organics a. by using an oxidant ( for example ClO2) 4
5
Frac Water Cleaning DGF seperator 5 Will remove hydrocarbons
from the frac water Hydrocarbons will be caused to float to the surface of the frac water. - Can then easily by skimmed off. 5
6
Frac Water cleaning Activated hydrocarbon
- will remove hydrocarbons and organics Chemical Precipitation - will help get rid of the rest of the sludge Sand Filter - Will help remove remaining TSS ( Total suspended solids) from the frac water.
7
Competing Processes: Frac Water
Green completions Oil can be removed from water and added to pipe line to be processes More environmentally friendly (no flare)
8
Green Completion Currently used in Barnett Shale Reduce VOC emissions
Burn off gas that would otherwise escape into the air Will need to capture gas and make it available for use of sale by Jan 1, 2015 (according to EPA’s new guidelines) Will not generate NOx Rental cost = $1,000/day Save average of 11,000 MCF of natural gas per well from being vented into the atmosphere

BFD for Green Completion

Competing Processes: Frac Water
LPG Instead of using water, can use gelled liquefied petroleum gas. Advantages Nearly all of it is recovered after fracturing No salts are brought up Less liquid is needed to fracture the well.
11
Bloc flow diagram Gas purification Pump Membrane filter
Which ever gas: -N2 -CO -H2 -CO2 -O2 Purified Gas
12
Competing Processes: Effluent Vapors
Gas coming in (Assumption that no pressure available from gases coming in) Compressor needed to pressurize gases for clean-up Need to know how much gas in order to pick proper purification method 3 Ways of Cleaning up Effluent Gases Membrane Separation PSA Cryogenic Gas Plant
13
Membrane Separation Membrane Separation Can be as pure as PSA
Membrane separators may be bought from IGS (Innovative Gas Systems – ISO 9001 Certified) Non-air/Gas Separation Systems H2, CO2, CO Gas Compressors
14
Pressure Swing Adsorption
PSA Pressurize gases Some gases will be adsorbed The higher the pressure, the more the adsorption Reduce pressure and gas is desorbed (released)
15
Cryogenic Gas Plant Cryogenic Gas Plant
First chill the gases, then distill Expensive Product has highest purity
16
Competing Processes Specific plan for CO2
Pipeline available in area to send CO2 to wells This will acidize formation and free up more oil EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) Purify CO2 for food applications Convert to dry ice for food merchant product
17
CO2 EOR – How It Works
18
Oil Recovery With CO2 X-ray images of 5-centimeter-diameter core samples taken from the Lost Hills oil field (located in central California) show the effectiveness of carbon dioxideto sweep oil.
19
Additional Input Needed
Water purity and amount for CHP Plant Compositions of all Effluents
