Sulphur plant turndown

See his process flow diagrams

What do you do when your field acid gas content reduces below your sulphur plant turndown ratio?

Other operators have solved this problem several different ways. Why reinvent the wheel?

A steady sulphur reduction in the inlet stream led this applicant to modify his gas plant. If you need to try something similar, reviewing his attempt will help a lot.

Using AppIntel AI you can see his reasoning, his efforts, and even his wrestle with the regulator.

He submitted all his process flow diagrams, plot plans and process flow rates. He described his efforts to attract more high sulphur inlet streams and his plans going forward.

Or just look at it differently

Instead of reconfiguring your plant, you might be able to just convince the regulator to let you account for your sulphur recovery differently like a different operator did.

Or skip making sulphur

Many operators aren't even treating their acid gas to make sulphur. Some use it to sweep more oil. Some just are sequestering it.

Some operators are disposing acid gas in a deep well stratum.

Of AppIntel AI, one mechanical engineer said, "You can see everything -- from plot plans to metering details."

AppIntel contains your neighbor's perspective on the processing and transport of oil and gas fields. It contains more technical data even than ASME papers.
