Fuel gas conditioning systems are primarily used at facilities where fuel choices are limited. These systems provide many benefits to the overall oil and gas industry. However, most people who use the products that fuel conditioners help create don’t understand their importance.

We invite you to settle in and find out why fuel gas conditioners make our industry run smoothly.

The Importance of Fuel Gas Conditioners

The whole purpose of a fuel gas conditioning system is to purify the fuel at a facility so that the gas turbine on-site doesn’t experience damage.

Did you know that natural gas contains several different impurities in it when directly harvested? If left untreated, these natural impurities remain in the gas, take a physical form and can cause some serious damage to a facility’s turbine.

Aside from protecting the turbine, a fuel gas conditioner also increases the overall performance of the gas turbine and helps lower the expensive maintenance costs on the equipment.

Removing the Grime From Your Fuel

So what is in the gas that creates such an expensive problem for facilities? The three main culprits can be broken down by:

• Solids
• Liquids
• Gases

Solids

If left unpurified, solids can begin to form in the fuel. These solids include:

• Rust
• Sand
• Mill Scale

Liquids

Certain liquids can cause temperature fluctuations within a system that can in return cause damage to the turbine. The liquids that fuel conditioners remove are:

• Water
• Lube Oil
• Condensed Gas

Gases

Specific gases from the natural gas source can lead to pollution and put the facility out of its areas compliance levels. These gases include:

• Carbon Dioxide
• Hydrogen Sulfide
• Siloxane

Fuel Gas Conditioners and JT Skids

One of the other products that we like to showcase at Pro-Gas is our JT skid. When the skid and fuel gas conditioner put their functionality together, the results are excellent for the facility that utilizes them.

JT skids help make fuel gas conditioners easier to install, mobile, more cost-effective, and above all, safer for the employees at the site.

Fossil fuels like oil and natural gas are materials that we use every day to get our lives in motion. The constant need for fossil fuels as a source of fuel is the key reason why the oil and gas industry is currently experiencing a boom.

Although the industry is thriving right now, there are still societal concerns and myths regarding the need for fossil fuels and how the farming of these materials actually benefits our society. There are several ways that fossil fuels have a positive impact on our livelihood. Here are just a few reasons why the facilities in our industry see these benefits first-hand

Fossil Fuels Are an Affordable Source of Energy

Even though the cost of drilling and farming natural resources is so high, fossil fuels are still a very affordable resource. The ROI for facilities that produce these resources is relatively high. This is mainly due to the fact that there is an abundance of industry equipment available to help facilities produce efficiently and precisely. The faster that the materials can be produced, the sooner it can get to mass consumers at an affordable rate. Therefore, in no time at all, the cost for producing oil and natural gas has paid for itself!

The Economy Thrives Because of Fossil Fuels

Societies that use fossil fuels as resources are naturally the most economically sound. Aside from government subsidies granted to producers, the general economy flourishes because of fossil fuels. Think about some of the key products that rely on natural gas and oil. Many of them are used on a daily basis by millions of people in a country. The constant use and production of products like cars, gas stoves and more help to drive our point home that fossil fuels keep an economy on an upward trajectory.

Fossil Fuels Are Safe to Transport

Fossil fuels are a safe resource to produce and distribute. This safety is key when it comes to the ease in transportation for these products. Through on-land movement by NGL storage solutions or by pipelines laid throughout the country, there are several ways to easily, and safely get gas and oil materials to the consumers that need to use them.

Oil and Natural Gas Are Reliable Resources

We understand that there is a huge push for Green energy. The oil and gas industry has even made some recent efforts to become sustainable. However, we must keep in mind that oil and gas are resources that are both abundant and reliable. Solar and wind energy can’t operate when the sun isn’t out and the wind isn’t blowing. This reliability of our resources is why we feel that the push towards green fracking in the industry is a major positive advancement.

When people picture the oil and gas industry, there are lots of misconceptions that can come to mind. Our industry is a robust one, but with so much going on, it’s easy to see how people can misconstrue our practices.

The team at Pro-Gas, LLC have been dedicated to promoting high-quality equipment and best practices in this niche industry. Here are four of the biggest myths about oil and gas that even you may be getting wrong.

1. Property Owners Get Rich Quick

Although the thought of oil-rich land may bring the smell of money to the nostrils, this isn’t always the case. Not every piece of land with oil running beneath it will yield a gushing amount of resources. Even with oil beneath a land, facilities looking to lay production pipes only select 1 in 18 properties as worthy land. Even after land has been chosen, it could take years for it to even pay off the cost of the initial drilling.

2. Peak Oil Means We’re Running Out!

Peak oil is a myth that states that oil production in the United States has been on a steep decline since the 1970s. Many people who fall into the belief that peak oil is a real problem tend to jump to the false concern that the states are running out of oil for the masses. We’re happy to say that this isn’t true. Oil production is currently thriving and will continue to thrive in the years to come.

3. Clean Technology Will Be The End of Oil and Gas

There has been a recent interest in the use of green technology in the oil and gas industry. Some landowners wrongfully believe that this tech will reduce the demand for oil and gas.

This myth is easily debunked by taking a quick look around at all of the benefits that oil and gas provide to consumers. Even with clean technology, these materials will still be required for electricity and fuel for several mass products.

4. The Oil and Gas Industry Doesn’t Care About The Environment

This myth is a stigma that the industry can’t seem to shake off of its shoulders. Yes, the work that we do involves some harsh conditions, but we really do care about the environment. The industry is currently making several efforts to reduce its carbon footprint through environmentally responsible practices like recycled well-water and the eventual elimination of diesel fumes in fracking.

Although we use oil and gas products on a daily basis, we tend to put the danger of these materials on the backburner. Pro-Gas, LLC believes that Dallas, Texas homeowners and facility employees alike need to understand important safety tips to use in the office and the home for natural gas consumers.

Use these four recommendations to ensure that your next experience with natural gas is one that is safe and efficient.

1. Pay Attention to Combustible Materials

Natural gas is a material that has the ability to interact with other products, creating dangerous results. Combustibles like paper, paints, curtains and certain household fluids must be kept away from appliances that rely on natural gas and open flames for their use.

Although they may seem innocent enough, your dryer, water heater, and furnaces can be the catalyst to disaster if proper precautions aren’t taken.

2. Perform Regular Appliance Maintenance

Remember. Folks, your gas appliances should be checked and serviced annually. At least once a year, reach out to a local maintenance provider that can reassure you that your appliances are operating safely and don’t pose any unnatural threats to your household.

3. Prioritize Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are one of the biggest concerns that a homeowner should have. When your appliances have been poorly-maintained or are simply faulty, this could result in a gas leak. The danger of this is that sometimes the leak isn’t caught until it is too late for a family.

The signs of a gas leak in your home are something that should not be taken lightly or ignored. Be on the lookout for:

• A sulfur smell
• Hissing sounds near a gas line
• Bubbles in your water
• Dead houseplants popping up in the home

4. Please Don’t Shake Your Gas Cylinders

Even though your natural gas may be stored in a safe cylinder like a portable NGL, these cylinders need to be respected and handled with care. Should you ever need to move a gas cylinder, be aware that dropping it or shaking it around can result in a dangerous explosion.

Whenever you have to handle this type of product, it is recommended that you work with a sturdy hand and take the tank to a local professional if it needs to be refilled.

Current EPA regulations have pushed the oil and gas industry into the positive direction of operational sustainability. Even though resources need to be farmed, leaders in the industry believe that there are sustainable practices to effectively do so. Here are four of the most recent sustainable efforts being practiced at facilities and sites across the nation.

1. The Decrease in Freshwater Usage

Water and oil production processes go hand-in-hand. During the fracking and separating stages alone, millions of water barrels are used daily. Facilities realize that this number is quite vast and are trying to re-work the extraction process to use 80-95% recycled water. This effort hopes to both improve the production process as well as create a more green environment in the oil and gas industry.

2. Oil and Water Recycling Efforts

How will water be recycled? This is answered with improved water recycling efforts. Some of the ways that the industry expects to do this are through advanced filtration, oxidation methods, and pushes for chemical-free water treatment.

3. Eco-Friendly Sanitation Solutions

Some facilities are now practicing eco-friendly sanitation solutions with the end goal in mind to replace solvents that contain petroleum distillates and other materials that have been deemed hazardous in the industry. It’s surprising how hazardous some of the standard cleaning materials are for industry equipment. Therefore, this push for eco-friendly practices for sanitation can take the industry quite a long way.

4. Wooden Mats to Minimize Footprint

Minimizing one’s footprint in nature is one of the main goals of sustainability as a whole. One of the biggest issues in the industry are the access roads that need to be created in order for a crew to actually make it out to a site.

This is an environmental problem because drilling sites are constantly being moved around. By using recyclable wooden mats, the industry is now minimizing its impact on the landscape of working sites. These wooden mats provide a temporary road for vehicles, as well as an extra layer of stable working conditions for all facility workers involved. The best part about this effort is that once the site is completed and it’s time to move on to the next one, workers simply pick up and move with little damage done to the former site.

Natural gas is one of America’s leading resources and has some surprising impacts on peoples lives. However, with the creation of electric appliances, many households have made some changes in the types of products that they purchase for the home.

However, with current environmental regulations in place, the gap between gas and electric products has narrowed quite a bit. Here are some of the best reasons to continue saving money and energy while using gas appliances in your home.

Gas Water Heaters Are Just More Efficient

Your water heater is one of the most important appliances in the home, so efficiency is necessary. While electric water heaters have grown in popularity, it should be showcased that natural gas water heaters are simply more efficient. Not only do current natural gas water heaters save homeowners money, but they also reduce your environmental footprint.

Selecting a natural gas water heater also means:

• Your water heats faster than with an electric appliance
• Your shower still works, even if the power goes out.

Gas Appliances Help You Save Money While Feeling Comfortable

Gas appliances like a natural gas furnace are created to give users as much heat for their money as possible. This is due to federal regulations that mandate the efficiency of these products for consumer use. Thanks to these manufacturing regulations on natural gas appliances, now you can feel comfortable, be energy-efficient, and save a lot of money on your usable heat. If you notice a higher gas bill, that may be one of the signs that you have a gas leak.

Create Better Meals with a Gas Stove

Cooking a great meal on a gas stove can be a superior experience to an electric stove. We’ve all been in a situation where we’ve had to impatiently wait for the electric burner to heat to our preferred temperature. With gas stoves, users are able to receive instant heat and have more control over the temperature that they cook it. Electric stoves have set levels of heat and are unable to reduce or increase said heat as quickly as a gas-powered appliance.

Gas Appliances Simplify the Everyday Tasks

In short, natural gas appliances make everyday life an easier experience for Dallas homeowners. Not only can they be ensured that their appliances will continue to work during emergencies like power outages, but current models are even created with energy efficiency in mind.

The appliances that are capable of being powered by natural gas are the ones that make up the majority of a monthly energy bill. Make the choice to save money and reduce your environmental footprint by keeping your home all natural.

Crude oil may also be used in homes for things like space heaters, water heaters, drying clothes, or even cooking.
