PROCESSING OF WELLHEAD GAS

12/03/2007 5:58 PM

I have some small shallow natural gas wells in middle Tn. We have used them for heating and heating of hot water for quite a while, but the question is the btu content is to high for auto fuel because of the other gases propane,butane, ethane and etc. Does anyone know of a small processor that will take out these gases or any way to take out gases and lower btu at a reasonable price? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Use an air blender. A company in Seattle, Sam Dick, makes air blending equipment to create synthetic Natural Gas from propane and air.

How high is the BTU content. I should think you could take a portion of the gas and burn it stoichiometrically with air and blend it back into the raw gas at a controlled rate. The main compound from the combustion would be CO2 and N2 (both inerts) which would lower the BTU value of the mixed gas.
