When flaring is unviable or uneconomic, venting may occur. Targeted at eliminating this risk, PTAC is facilitating the PureJet project with collaborators Cenovus Energy, the City of Medicine Hat, Emissions Reduction Alberta, and Alberta-based Atlantis Research Labs to develop the PureJet Incinerator. This device, coupled with its ability to handle a wide range of pressures and flow rates, enables methane to be destroyed at sites.
The goal of the PureJet Demonstration Project is to work with clients who each have a slightly different application across the oil/gas supply chain. Working on this project with multiple oil/gas operators will also give Atlantis valuable industry experience, which will assist in refining the ideal market roll-out strategy. Throughout these pilots, Atlantis’ engineering team collected data and monitored performance so that the PureJet incinerator design was validated and optimized.
Cumulative GHG emissions reductions are expected to be 140 million tonnes by 2050.
