Getting flexibility in plant sulfur emissions
Sometimes it's all in the math
Can you legally emit more sulphur than your rated maximum? How do you get that flexibility?
Without AppIntel AI, how would you find out how other plant operators are getting flexibility to run below minimum turndown?
With AppIntel just type into the KiP omnibox sulphur emission flexible. Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.
Faced with much lower raw gas inlet, one operator convinced the regulator to allow great flexibility in sulphur emissions. This could save a $2 million upgrade to his gas plant.
The reduced sulphur throughput was far lower than the designed turndown of the plant. So the regulator agreed to a fancy formula to allow the operator to up their stack emissions on very low flow days.
You can see all the details in his submission documents from our self-serve web portal.

industry submissions are leading indicators
How can you be ready for anything? You need to be watching what other operators are doing. Industry submissions to the government are leading indicators of future industry activity.
They broadcast the pessimism (or optimism) of an operator. They indicate the operator's short and long term plans.
What can you learn from the leading indicator of more facility submissions? Find out from AppIntel AI.
Industry submissions are an expose of practical technology use. They show how technology works out in the field. They indicate success and failure of each type of technology. They even offer ways to conduct look-back analysis on technology installations.
The best way to stay on top of oil field technology is to watch industry submissions.
