In 2018, a joint research and development project between the authors and an operator in the oil and gas industry began with the aim of developing an extremely low-BTU (ELBTU) flare-tip technology. The goal was to address the limitations of high-heating-value requirements and contribute to efforts to achieve net-zero targets.
The project started with a literature survey on lean-gas-combustion theory, followed by multiple iterations of prototype design, simulation, and testing. The team considered a wide range of combustion criteria throughout the development process, making adjustments to various parameters to optimize performance.
The ELBTU flare-tip technology successfully combusted lower-heating-value flare gas, surpassing the performance of existing technologies. This breakthrough has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the oil and gas industry, contributing to efforts to achieve net-zero targets.
