Flooded Tower System - FTS saves $600k / year

$600k / year direct savings with new BaxterSRT Flooded Tower system

Location: California

Background

BaxterSRT was asked to design an improved sulphur reduction technology (SRT) system to remove H2S in produced gas. The purpose of the new system is to help achieve efficiencies and cost savings. This client was looking to:
  • Create an innovative sulphur reduction solution to replace existing equipment and meet all requirements
  • Increase operating and chemical efficiencies
  • Reduce current spend on operations and maintenance
  • Reduce labor hours and waste disposal
  • Ensure the solution meets and or exceeds current health, safety and environmental regulations

Requirements

  • Process up to 4 MMCFD of produced gas
  • Discharge H2S must be < 4 ppm
  • Minimal pressure drop of < 10 psi
  • Achieve a turndown of 5:1 while maintaining chemical efficiency
  • Available and active 24/7/365 unless a shutdown is planned
  • Compliant with state and local regulatory agencies, including SCAQMD, OSHA, HBFD
  • Reduce operator intervention and exposure
  • Minimize system footprint and noise

Key Results

  • $600,000/ year direct savings
  • 90% increase in chemical efficiency
  • 80% reduction in O&M costs
  • 57% reduction in labour hours because of built in automations
  • 20 fewer hours per month for system monitoring and maintenance (from 35 to 15 hours per month)
  • Client goals and KPIs were all met
  • Local and state regulatory requirements were exceeded
  • Enhanced worker safety and less system downtime with new tower technology, pump redundancy, automation, and analyzer

Solution

84” Flooded Tower system with 2 66” separators (pre and post contactor).
