Flared Gas Recovery

Our American partner, CleanSmart Solutions, LLC is an upstream-to-downstream, natural gas liquids recovery solutions and services company with its own patented membrane gas recovery technology and manufacturing capability. CleanSmart Solutions offers stranded upstream E&P operators who are flaring gas, multiple recovery opportunities to commercialize small-to-mid-scale volumes of “flared” gas into predictable streams of revenue that would otherwise be lost. CleanSmart Solutions does this by packaging an industrial scale membrane processes into a small-foot print skid-mounted chassis that operates as a micro-gas plant and/or a micro-fuel station. It’s mobile membrane gas recovery units (MGRUs) operate autonomously, use no mechanical parts and no chemicals, nor subject to common hydrate problems.

The patented membrane gas recovery technology of CleanSmart Solutions has been successfully oilfield-proven in the United States of America with superior NGL recovery over the conventional cryogenic techniques.

The patented capture process of our American partner; CleanSmart Solutions, is housed in a stainless steel chassis described as a Membrane Gas Recovery Unit© (MGRU). Their proprietary membrane elements are encased in stainless steel vessels. These membrane elements are designed to separate and capture Natural Gas Liquids (C3+) from natural gas produced from oil & gas wells during routine operations. The Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) are retained as valuable permeate (C3+) for commercial and sustainable uses, depending on the molecular % of the C3+ components of the gas stream.

The Membrane Gas Recovery Unit © (MGRU) of our American partner; CleanSmart Solutions, has major advantageous features over the conventional cryogenic techniques. There are no chemicals, and no moving parts are used in the single step process of Membrane Gas Recovery Unit ©. The capture process begins after the well completion phase and gas flows from an API separator. This practice may be referred to as a “green completion” process under the guidelines of US Environmental Protection Agency "EPA" for reduced emission completions.

At the same time, CleanSmart Solutions reduces the volume of methane sent to a flare stack and reduces 55% of the CO2 in Natural gas liquids. MGRUs can reach the competitive scale of mid-scale membrane processing plants at half the capital cost and operating expense of conventional cryogenic systems.

CleanSmart Solutions, LLC is committed to Zero Routing Gas Flaring by 2030.
