Challenge:
- Meet required CO2 specifications to reduce plant upsets and maintain low-CO2 fuel gas source.
- Increase CO2 gas treatment efficiency.
Solution: Replace one bank of existing spiral-wound membranes with Apura gas separation membranes.
Results:
- Increased feed capacity by 25% using the same membrane surface area.
- Treated at a high 8-MMcf/d [227,000-m3/d] flow rate while reliably lowering the CO2 concentration from 3% to 2.3%.
- Achieved 20% better CO2 removal from the outlet requirement for fuel gas.
