LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

AS PER WEBSITE

Over the past decades the oil & gas industry has become more conscious concerning the environment in which we operate and which deserves to be well protected for future generations. Therefore polluting emissions to surface water, soil and atmosphere have to be controlled, and were possible minimised or completely avoided.

Frames plays an important role when considering annihilation of emission through off gases or produced water on both on and offshore gas & oil production locations.

The ever more stringent environmental legislation has pushed the industry and more specific Frames towards the development of overhead vapour combustion and water treatment technology.

·                     Combustion

·                     Water Treatment

 

Natural gas or associated gas does not automatically meet the specifications required by the client / consumer.

The gas produced may require treatment in order to assure that the following criteria are met:

·                     Water Dew Point (water content)

·                     Hydrocarbon Dew Point (hydrocarbons specification)

·                     Sulphur / CO2 content (e.g. H2S, Mercaptans etc.)

The above criteria basically describe the quality of the gas. The produced gas often contains one or more of the above components in excess to allow for further processing or distribution.

All of the above parameters require alteration to avoid any operational problems from occurring and to meet the clients required gas specification. Operational problems include for instance hydrate formation, which relates to gas composition, pressure and temperature. Also downstream equipment like compressor appliances may suffer damage due to free liquids present in the gas.

Other problems may relate to heavier hydrocarbons present, also relating to gas composition, causing malfunctioning (knocking) of gas motors or condensation downstream at compressor facilities and in distribution flow lines.

Corrosive components like sulphur and CO2 are to be removed for obvious reasons, i.e. to protect downstream equipment / materials from corrosion. All of the above parameters require alteration to avoid any operational problems from occurring and to meet the clients required gas specification. Operational problems include for instance hydrate formation, which relates to gas composition, pressure and temperature. Also downstream equipment like compressor appliances may suffer damage due to free liquids present in the gas.

Other problems may relate to heavier hydrocarbons present, also relating to gas composition, causing malfunctioning (knocking) of gas motors or condensation downstream at compressor facilities and in distribution flow lines.

Corrosive components like sulphur and CO2 are to be removed for obvious reasons, i.e. to protect downstream equipment / materials from corrosion.

·                     Natural Gas Dehydration

·                     Natural Gas HC Dew Pointing

·                     Natural Gas Sweetening

·                     Control & Safeguarding Hydraulics

·                     Wellhead Protection & Safety

·                     Multiphase Flow Metering

·                     Valve Automation & Diagnostics

Hydrates are crystalline structures which are formed under certain conditions in natural gas containing water. The appearance of hydrates is ice like. This solid form is capable of blocking the pathway in flow lines and other related gas handling equipment. In order to avoid hazardous situations, hydrate formation has to be prevented.

For hydrate formation 3 main factors are of importance:

·                     Gas composition & water content

·                     Gas operating pressure

·                     Gas operating temperature

Hydrate formation can be avoided by manipulating one of the three factors above, such that formation of hydrates is no longer possible for thermo-dynamical reasons. This is referred to as thermo-dynamic inhibition.

Another method is to allow for hydrate formation, however prevent the formation of larger particles / crystalline solids by means of kinetic inhibition.

Frames is experienced in two different ways of preventing hydrate formation / hydrate control.

·                     Natural Gas Dehydration

·                     Hydrate Inhibition

When Liquid hydrocarbons (like Crude oil or hydrocarbon condensates) are produced from wells on both on- and offshore production facilities, these liquids often require treatment prior to storage, transportation or petrochemical processing.

The produced "crude" is required to be supplied at specified conditions and within a specific range of "crude" characteristics. The main parameters to consider are:

·                     Read Vapour Pressure

·                     Temperature

·                     Density (API)

·                     Composition (e.g. water and sulphur content)

Another source for liquids is natural gas from which liquids have been retrieved like C2, C3, C4, C5+ and LPG Naphtha. In case the C2 is gaseous then gas treatment would apply, however also liquefied C2 may require treatment.

In order to provide the liquids at the conditions and with the specifics required, the following technologies are available.

·                     Liquid Dehydration

·                     Stabilisation

·                     Sweetening

·                     Centrifugal

·                     Coalescence

·                     Impingment

·                     Sieve / Filtration

Frames Energy Systems designs and manufactures a wide range of injection and Dosing Systems for the Oil, Gas, Chemical and Petrochemical industry for onshore, offshore and marine locations.

Fully independent from a pump manufacturer and skilled in all disciplines required for multi disciplinary packages, Frames is able to advise the client, design and manufacture and also customize the specific packages to client requirements. Besides the pump(s) itself, the instrumentation like flow measurement, PLC control units etc. may form an integral part of the dosing packages included our delivery program.

The Frames organization is able to take full responsibility for the engineering and performance and will fully guarantee the complete package.

The wide range of Chemical Injection Systems can be further divided into the following categories:

·                     Dosing Pump Packages

·                     Integrated Dosing Packages

·                     Chemical Distribution Packages

Frames supplies various modularised / packaged gas treatment systems. Please note that if required, separate modules can be supplied to allow for transportation / shipment to site.

Pending the clients nominated fabrication yard, local fabrication on a world wide basis is possible with the flexible organisation Frames offers.

Packages include:

·                     Dehydration systems

·                     Dew Point Control Packages

·                     Sweetening Packages

·                     Fuel Gas Treatment Packages

·                     Heating Packages

These packages are designed fully integrating all different components into single main interface modules.

 

Hydrate inhibitor are costly chemicals and are preferably retrieved from the production streams, to enable re-use.

The inhibition chemical however requires to be treated in order to obtain the required purity of the chemical used for inhibition purposes.

Chemicals often used are the following:

·                     Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)

·                     Di Ethylene Glycol (DEG)

·                     Methanol (MeOH)

The process used to cater for the recovery / regeneration of the used "enriched" chemicals is based on distillation. The following packages are available:

·                     Glycol Regeneration Packages

·                     Methanol Recovery Packages

The glycol packages are similar to those used in the absorption based gas dehydration packages. The methanol unit is differing only in the fact that the top product (lower boiling point) will be the chemical instead of the water.

Basic components part of fully integrated modules are for all systems the following:

·                     Flash vessel or a MeOH buffer Drum

·                     Heat Exchangers

·                     Reboiler facility (gas fired, electrical heated etc.)

·                     Still column or MeOH reclaimer column

Overhead vapour section, condenser / separator / OVC etc.

 

Liquids being produced on either gas or oil production facilities require treatment to facilitate further transport or downstream processing.

A number of packages within the Frames programme fulfil subject duty:

·                     Dehydration Packages

·                     Sweetening Packages

·                     Stabilisation Packages

Dehydration and sweetening packages are applied for treating of liquid streams originating in gas production. These include propane, butane and for instance LPG Naphtha. Treatment of these products results in products up to sales specification or ready for downstream processing.

Crude oil may require stabilisation which is based on providing the crude at a condition such that specific vapour pressure (Read Vapour Pressure) is guaranteed. Frames supplies systems based on flashing off the lighter components which often is sufficient for the upstream oil production facilities. In case a more delicate separation of also liquid components is required, larger columns based on distillation are required.
