Oxygen in field boosters

Oxygen in field boosters

Oxygen in field boosters

(OP)
Just wondering if someone has any experience with gas boosters and knows of ways that oxygen can enter into the system (other than leaking flanges)

Thanks

RE: Oxygen in field boosters

Is this natural gas or land fill gas?

RE: Oxygen in field boosters

(OP)
This is a natural gas field with 25-125 psi low CO2, 2-15 m3/d and poor flow rates

Possibly through the seals when there is very low flow!! Is there a seakl gas provision from the discharge? If not provide one.

RE: Oxygen in field boosters

Other than vacuum systems, we foud that the well operators had bad practices when recommissioning their equipment.  Heaters were shutdown for repair and not purged of air afterwards.  Flow lines drained and again, not purged of air.  On and on with heater treaters, field boosters...
