itrogen Rejection Units (NRU) selectively removes nitrogen from a gas stream. In practice, cryogenic plants have the highest methane recovery rate
(approximately 99%) of any of the nitrogen rejection technologies and have become standard practice for large-scale projects where they achieve economies- of-scale.
Nitech™ NRU TechnologyAn Advanced Cryogenic NRU TechnologyNitech™ (NRU) technology, developed by our business partner BCCK Engineering Inc., enables producers to recover once by-passed reserves, regardless of nitrogen content. It economically removes nitrogen from natural gas streams without the complexity and inflexibility typically associated with traditional cryogenic processes.
Additionally, it can increase project profitability through integrated NGL extraction and helium recovery. Nitech™ NRU technology is an economical, effective, environmentally-Nitech™ NRU Technology friendly, and highly efficient process to remove high concentrations of nitrogen from inlet flow rates as little as 30 million m³ per year up to 2500 million m³ per year.

Proven and Applied TechnologyMore than 20 Nitech™ NRU systems have been installed, where they have generated extra revenue streams from;
Unconventional gas, naturally occuring low-BTU gas streams, enhanced oil
recovery, nitrogen rejection/removal, CO2 removal, helium recovery, skidded LNG
plants, and oxygen removal.

Enhanced Oil RecoveryBoth nitrogen and fire floods are used in order to enhance oil recovery. The basic difference is a fire flood injects air while a nitrogen flood injects near pure nitrogen.
A typical gas content in a flood has; a variable inlet nitrogen content; an increase of nitrogen content over time as field matures.
Our answer:The Nitech™ NRU process is able to take on these variables and escalations, without the
need for equipment modifications.
Also normal for these facilities is; an integrated NGL extraction is a requirement; The process gas will be associated with oil/condensate production, therefore will contain high levels of C3+ hydrocarbons.
Our answer:Nitech™ process can integrate NGL extraction
with high ethane recovery
Our history with flood applications; 3 NRUs associated with nitrogen floods; 1 NRU associated with a fire flood.
Project ReferencePlant Location: Bowman, ND, USA Facility Size: 430 Million m³ per yearGas Source: Associated gas from fire floodPlant Type: Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Water, and NGL Extraction/ FractionationInlet Gas: N2 60% to 75% Project Type: EPCCompletion: August 2007
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONIn Southwestern North Dakota, producers are injecting air into oil producing reservoirs in order to increase the temperature in the reservoir and to decrease the viscosity of the crude oil. In addi-tion, the reservoir pressure is increased facilitat-ing increased production. We employed a proven process designed to remove residual amounts of oxygen coming from the reservoir that had not taken part in the combustion process. In addition, there was a significant amount of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gener-ated by the air flood process. Our process is designed for a wide range of nitrogen since the air injection process is on-going and the nitrogen content is increasing. This facility utilizes the newest generation Nitech™ internal condenser that provides a cleaner nitrogen vent relative to methane losses. Another feature of this facility was to design with small footprints since the facility is installed in process buildings as required to protect the facility from the harsh and cold winter environment with normal tempera-tures reaching from -29 to -40 degrees C. Carbon dioxide removal is brought about by the use of conventional amine and reduces the carbon dioxide content feeding the NRU from approximately 8 PPM to approximately 10 PPM. The oxygen removal system was designed to remove oxygen content to as low as 1 PPM. Nitrogen is removed from near 60% down to the specified level of approximately 10% to be used for both sales and field fuel gas. The Nitech™ NRU also includes integrated NGL extraction. The facility also fractionations the liquids to produce an HD-5 grade propane for the local market.

Project ReferencePROJECT SPECIFICATIONSPlant Location: Paden, OK, USA Facility Size: 480 million m³ per yearGas Source: Conventional low-BTU gasPlant Type: Nitech™ NRUInlet Gas: 6 - 9% N2Project Type: EP plus fabrication of the NRU cold boxesCompletion: May 2008
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONAn existing facility with NGL and condensate extraction, the Nitech™ NRU is located in Paden, OK, USA. For this particular facility, condensate, NGL, carbon dioxide and water are removed upstream of the NRU. In Novem-ber, 2006, a Nitech™ NRU to remove nitrogen from a slip stream of facility gas has been designed and constructed.
Implementing the Nitech™ NRU design allowed the client to more economically market their natural gas product. The Paden NRU utilizes the Nitech™ NRU technology in order to reduce the nitrogen levels below the pipeline requirements. The facility was designed to process a portion of the total volume of avail-able higher nitrogen gas to less than 1.0 mole % nitrogen, then blending this low nitrogen stream with the remaining higher nitrogen gas that bypasses the NRU. The total blnded stream meets the pipeline specification of 3.0 mole % nitrogen. By bypassing a substantial amount of gas, the capital cost and operating costs were reduced. Additional equipment purchased and installed included an amine unit and associated compression. BCCK assisted the client with specification of the amine unit and compressors. NG Resources completed the fabrication of the NRU cold boxes. The NRU was installed at the Paden Facility by a third party construction company and continues to operate today.
Conventional low-BTU GasLow Inlet Nitrogen Content Gas StreamsHistorically, solutions for gas streams that were just out of pipeline specification with regard to nitrogen content (3-10% nitrogen) included: Pay a penalty for off-spec gas; Blend gas to spec, if blend gas is available; If associated with an NGL extraction facility, ethane may be blended with sales gas to meet the inert specification.
Today, we deliver economic solutions for processing low nitrogen gas streams: As a stand-alone system behind the expander plant; As an integrated part of the existing expander plant.

Developments with Nitech™ NRUToday, we are working with an oil and gas com-pany on one of the first “tight gas” exploration project in Poland, which is the first “unconven-tional” gas exploration facility to become active in Europe.

Unconventional GasThe unconventional gas, after exploration, may have gas processing needs to meet pipeline quality, safety, and environmental specifications. At this moment, there is too little awareness on the market on the advanced NRU gas processing technologies availiable at the global level.
Global DevelopmentGlobal reserves on unconventional are tremen-dous. Furthermore, there is a wide distribution of unconventional resources.

In gas-exporting regions such as the former Soviet Union and the Middle East, unconven-tional resources will not displace, but might complement conventional gas production.
In gas-importing regions such as Europe and Asia, unconventional gas become interesting as currently most gas is imported (also might reduce import needs).

Coal Mine Methane UtilizationUtilizing to the Nitech™ NRU technology, you can stop venting your coal mine methane (CCM) to the atmosphere, capture that waste gas and create a sellable methane product or liquid natu-ral gas (LNG).
Benefits of coal mine methane extraction/enrichment:Applying an efficient and correct drainage system will addres the inherit risks associated with coal mines. By having an effective utilization process for the drained CMM, an additional
revenue can be created. Main benefits for effective capture and utilization of CMM;
Safer work environment — decreases the risk of fire/explosion Environmentally friendly — methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas, is captured instead of vented to the atmosphere Cost-effective fuel source — captured, processed gas can power mining equipment New revenue source — coal mining and methane mining now go hand-in-hand

Helium RecoveryIn order for proces-sors to benefit from a high value commod-ity like helium, we provide stand-alone helium extraction units, or integrated helium extraction capability in the Nitech™ NRU system. Benefits of this process: Simple process providing crude grade helium with 99%+ He recovery. Easily integrated with Nitech™ NRU. Can provide significant source of revenue due to high helium value.
(Ultra High) CO2 RemovalThe CO2 removal technologies provide producers with the most efficient and cost effective means of handling high concentrations of CO2. As an added bonus, greenhouse gas emissions are mitigated since the separated CO2 is sequestered rather than vented.
