Objectives

• Expro contacted by Lyondellbasell’spipeline operations, to develop a portablesystem that would meet both state andfederal environmental requirementsregarding portable flaring on highlyreactive volatile organic component(HRVOC) applications

Expro Excellence

• Industry leader in portable flaring services

• Instrumentation to provide data such ascalorimeters and metering systems aregenerally designed for permanentinstallation therefore Expro’s priority wasto develop a portable system forLyondellbasell

• Designed a portable, self-containedinstrumentation unit within an 8x16enclosed trailer, to measure and recordBTU (British thermal units) content of thewaste gas stream

• Collaboration with Expro Metersspecialists to incorporate aPassiveSONAR™ flow meter to measureand record flow of the waste gas stream

• Also provided capabilities to inject assistgas as needed to meet BTU contentrequirements

• Maintained a small footprint and quick rigup time

Value to client• Without this solution, the client couldhave potentially released non-combustedhydrocarbons to the atmosphere,resulting in harm to the environment,increased emissions reporting andpotential government fines

• Provided with recordable data to complywith state and federal requirements

• Reduction of harmful emissions releasedinto the atmosphere

• Avoidance of costly fines

• Enhanced operational data

Emissions control within the pipeline industry has come under stricter scrutiny within therecent years, specifically when flaring HRVOC products.

Federal regulation 40 CFR 60.18 and Texas regulations TCA 30 Rules 115.725 and106.492 state that when flaring HRVOC products minimum BTU content must bemaintained. In many applications nitrogen is used to purge the system. When nitrogen ismixed with waste gas, the BTU content falls below the regulation requirements forcomplete destruction. In these cases, assist gas must be injected to increase the BTUcontent of the waste gas stream to ensure complete destruction of the waste gas.
