(191b) Three Green Projects from a Gulf Coast Company

Authors 

Sneary, L. - Presenter, Gulf Coast Green Energy
This presentation describes three fuel- and emissions-free waste heat-to-power industry solutions developed by Gulf Coast Green Energy, Bay City, Texas. These include fuel efficiencies for large engines, process fluid cooling, and using flare gas for a beneficial use (making power). All three applications use wasted heat to produce on-site power. This can dramatically reduce emissions and power costs.
The examples include:
• a successful Dept. of Defense funded project to reduce emissions through reduced fuel consumption in large engines;
• a successful flare reduction trial on a Hess Corp. North Dakota well pad.§
• an overview of power from produced water.
The presentation will include an overview of the projects from design to installation/commissioning, and through the successful sustained operations.
§ This project was funded by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) and its Environmentally Friendly Drilling Systems (EFD), the U.S. Dept. of Energy, and Hess Corp.
