Reduction in Western Canada
The total opportunity for GHG reduction in dehydration facilities in Western Canada, based on low-cost methods, is estimated to be about 1.1 MT/yr.
Pump replacement projects usually pay back in less than a year, without considering potential GHG credits. Stripping gas reduction and glycol circulation optimization projects require little or no capital.
These low-cost methods include stripping gas reduction, glycol circulationoptimization and pump replacement.
