Executive Summary
Six gas-to-power technologies were demonstrated as part of the Electrical Generation Demonstration project. The units were operated almost continuously, over approximately one week each, at ATCO’s Peigan Trail Gate Station in Calgary. Gas-to-power technologies can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the oil and gas sector by combusting methane gas streams to convert methane to carbon dioxide. This electrical generation demonstration was a joint effort by ATCO, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), and the technology vendors: OilPro, Global Power Technology, Westgen, Horizon Power Systems, and ATCO. Electrical production performance and process parameters were measured. The data was analyzed to determine methane destruction efficiencies and to compare gas feed rates at various electrical loads. In addition, qualitative observations on operability of the technologies are presented as part of this report. These gas-to-power technologies can generate varying electrical loads.
