ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY FOR THE OIL & GAS SECTOR
Specific aspects of the sector
The oil & gas sector is characterised by variations in pollutant emissions during the extraction of hydrocarbons from the subsoil, often resulting in variations in the composition of the vented gases emitted into the air due to their origin.


Environmental processes in the oil & gas sector
In the exploration and extraction of crude oil, pollutant emissions are found in the boreholes to be drilled, the construction of the wells and the actual wells in service: venting emissions and fugitive emissions.
Tecam analyses each of the parameters to provide you with specific environmental solutions for each specific case and situation.
Pollutants in the oil & gas sector
This sector has high-specification requirements.
Like the petrochemical sector, some of the pollutants are:
-
- Aromatic compounds such as benzene, naphthalene, etc
- Hydrocarbons such as styrene, isoproponanol, methanol, etc.
- PM2.5-5-10 (Particulate Matter 10), etc.


Tecam’s tailor-made design
No matter how big or complex the problem, Tecam is the technology partner that will provide you with the solutions you need at all times.
Some examples:
- Pollutant concentration control systems to reduce the percentage of LEL, still treating gases at high concentrations.
- H2S removal before RTO.
- High fire and explosion safety requirements
- Installation of explosion sensors, flame arresters, etc.
- Specific control systems.
- Installation of a hot bypassfor the evacuation of high temperatures in the combustion chamber.
- Reuse of hot bypass heat and outlet temperature with the possibility of energy recovery from hot water or steam boilers.
- SIL requirements for safety controls.
- HAZID-HAZOP studies
- Emission dispersion studies.
