Blast furnace gas (BFG) is generated in all steelworks, and coke oven gas (COG) is also frequently produced as a byproduct of coke production. BFG and COG are often mixed and used as fuel gas for boilers and power plants, which saves energy and improves the efficiency of the steelmaking process. In many cases, the mixed gas of BFG/COG is enhanced by adding natural gas and other substances to improve combustion efficiency. This mixing requires control based on the Wobbe index. "WIM Compas" offers the above control benefits with top-class availability, reliability, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance. *For more detailed information, please refer to the attached PDF document. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.

The supply of fuel gas to the furnace, turbine, and boiler can change frequently and rapidly in composition. These changes can immediately affect the operational stability and efficiency of the combustion process, leading to unnecessary emissions. By installing a high-speed response "WIM Compas Analyzer" in the fuel gas supply line, it is possible to control the gas flow rate and air supply before the actual combustion begins using the analyzer's feedforward signal. This minimizes combustion disturbances and allows the combustion process to be executed with maximum efficiency and minimal emissions. *For more detailed information, please refer to the attached PDF document.

Regulatory pressure regarding flaring is being strengthened. A properly operated flare achieves at least a 98% combustion efficiency. However, when the heating value is below 270 BTU/SCF, a 98% destruction efficiency in flaring cannot be guaranteed. In such cases, it is necessary to add auxiliary fuel (e.g., natural gas). In the case of permit review, if the heating value of the emission stream is too low and auxiliary fuel has not been added, the application will be considered disapproved. Continuous monitoring of the heating value is necessary to operate the flare properly. *For more detailed information, please refer to the attached PDF document.

The reasons why the production of heavy crude oil has a lower profit margin than light oil are as follows: - The need for diluents, - High costs of extraction and refining, - Low prices. There is a need to place special focus on minimizing the overall operating costs. Improving energy efficiency is particularly valuable for SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage) plants, as approximately 60-70% of operating costs are attributed to the natural gas consumption of steam boilers. Therefore, the implementation of technologies that promote optimal performance of steam generators is essential. *For more detailed information, please refer to the attached PDF document.

Oil companies around the world are facing increasingly stringent regulatory requirements to minimize the emissions of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the atmosphere from crude oil storage tanks. One efficient way to meet these regulatory requirements is to contain the headspace of the tank with fuel gas. The main advantage of using fuel gas for containment is that VOCs escaping from the oil enter the fuel gas and contribute to the energy released during combustion of the fuel gas. This helps prevent environmental pollution. *For more detailed information, please refer to the attached PDF document. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*
