Making Sour Gas Into Sweet Energy..
The following is an interesting,older article about the Amerada Hess Corp testing 2 Capstone C-35's in Newburg, North Dakota..the testing began in 2004..this is an update 4 years later..
.."The Capstone microturbines, in comparison, could operate five years without an oil change. The goal of the pilot program was to determine if the microturbines could compress and clean the flared gas at a low enough cost to make operating the turbines, on a larger scale, a plan that made economic sense. The program was also designed to determine whether the turbines could operate when exposed to high-sulfur conditions. Capstone’s microturbines, with their patented air-bearing technology, are designed to tolerate fuel impurities such as high-sulfur compounds.
The pilot program passed both of these challenges. So, now the question is an obvious one: Are oil companies aware of the benefits that microturbines—and their ability to convert wasted gas into energy—can bring them?"..
