Convert Acid Gas into CCS Tax Credits and Eliminate Flaring

Acid gas, also known as amine overhead gas, is a blend of acidic gases including carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and a common byproduct of various industrial processes, including natural gas processing, refining and chemical production. These gases are considered “acidic” because they can dissolve in water to form acids, leading to a decrease in pH when released into the environment. These gases, known for their corrosive properties, pose significant risks to the environment, human health and industrial equipment if not properly managed.

Where Acid Gas Comes from – Amine Sweeting

In many industrial settings dealing with sour gas, sweetening processes are employed to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) using methods like amine scrubbing. Amine gas treating, or sweetening, is frequently used in high volume applications, such as natural gas processing plants and refineries. Amine sweetening systems, however, generates an acid gas stream that requires careful handling and disposal.

Traditional Acid Gas Disposal Methods (Pros/Cons)

Traditional methods of disposing of acid gas include flaring and injection into specialized Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells.

Flares and Enclosed Combustors:

  • Pros: Flaring is simple and can use existing infrastructure.
  • Cons: Key drawbacks include the fact that flaring may not be a permitted use in some jurisdictions and burning acid gas produces harmful SO2 emissions.

Acid Gas Injection (AGI) Wells:

  • Pros: Can be safe and a permanent solution.
  • Cons: AGI may not be permitted in some jurisdictions, permitting may take 1-3 years, if at all. Additionally, it is expensive to get started and requires ongoing monitoring of the potential impact on groundwater and other long-term environmental concerns. AGI wells also present a potential single point of failure, increasing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Liquid Redox for Acid Gas Treating

Next generation Liquid Redox technology offers a revolutionary approach to acid gas treatment by utilizing a Reduction-Oxidation (Redox) chemical reaction. Acid gas containing H2S exits the Liquid Redox system sweet (without H2S) and the elemental sulfur is filtered out of the regenerated chemistry where it can be reused, further reducing costs. The sulfur can be used for organic food production. This process not only eliminates the need for flaring or AGI but also delivers pure CO2 for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

  • Pros: Eco-friendly, eliminate flaring, eliminate AGI, cost-effective, deliver pure CO2 for CCS or industrial use.
  • Cons: None.

Using Liquid Redox Chemistry to Treat Sulfides in Wastewater for Odor Control

At the root of most odors generated from wastewater operations is When organic matter decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), sulfur compounds are converted in hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is a foul smelling, noxious, corrosive and flammable gas.  This can occur in water where the hydrosulfide ions (HS-) are produced in solution and carried along until the outgas as H2S, creating the familiar rotten egg stench.   

Exposure to hydrogen sulfide may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. It can also cause apnea, coma, convulsions, dizziness, headache, weakness, irritability, insomnia and stomach issues. (Source – CDC)

Wastewater H2S Treatment Plant

Additionally, H2S is a major cause of odors in wastewater treatment systems and is notable for its toxicity and its ability to corrode various materials used in sewer and treatment plant construction. (Source – EPA)

Much effort and many technologies have been developed and applied to combat H2S in both aqueous and gas phases, with varying degrees of expense, effectiveness, and side effects.   

One particularly effective method of treating H2S in solution is Liquid Redox.  While normally associated with treating H2S as a gas, liquid redox catalyst can be applied in the aqueous phase in combination with hydrogen peroxide to effectively and economically reduce dissolved sulfides and eliminating H2S odor problems.

We cover Liquid Redox and other H2S treatment methods in our White Paper Wastewater Odor Control Technology and Best Practices.

The key to the success of liquid redox treatment is the regenerative nature of the reaction.  It starts with a chelated (pronounced: key-late-ed) iron catalyst that has a strong affinity for the hydrogen atom in the hydrosulfide ion that destroys the sulfide, leaving elemental sulfur.  If the process stopped right there, it would be neither effective nor economical because the volume of catalyst would need to match the volume of sulfides.  

However, it does not stop there.  The second part is introducing hydrogen peroxide, an effective means of delivering oxygen in water, reacts with the reduced catalyst by taking the hydrogen and thus reactivating the chelated iron to react with yet another HS- ion.  This process continues until either all the oxygen is consumed or all the HS- is destroyed.   

The first part of the reaction is called “reduction”, the sulfide is reduced, and the reactivation of the catalyst is “oxidation”, the catalyst is oxidized.  The whole process together is known as “Liquid Redox”. 

There are several benefits to using Liquid Redox: 

  • First, it works.  High sulfides can be treated to non-detect levels, reducing odor and damage to pipes and equipment.   
  • Second, while more expensive than competitive chemical on a per gallon basis, the fact that the same catalyst reacts again and again with sulfides, less chemicals are required making Liquid Redox more economical from a total cost of treatment perspective.   
  • Third, Streamline’s liquid redox catalyst is safe to handle and transport and is a green biodegradable technology with no harmful byproducts. 

Streamline Innovations offers a particularly robust chelated iron catalyst, known as TALON®.  TALON chemistry is the keystone of the TALON Sulfide Elimination System, which helps reduce odor issues in industrial and municipal wastewater streams across the United States.  www.streamlineinnovations.com

Streamline Innovations Converts Another TALON™ Sulfide Elimination System Pilot Project into a Permanent Installation at Large Food Processing Plant

Successful Installation of TALON® Sulfide Elimination System™

Streamline Innovations in partnership with VWT Industrial, recently completed a successful 14-day pilot project for wastewater odor control at a large food processing plant in South Dakota. Based on the successful pilot, the customer approved transition to a permanent TALON® Sulfide Elimination System™ (TSES) system installation.

The water from the plant’s wastewater treatment plant can discharge excessive amounts of H2S to the municipal sewer system, generating substantial fines. Streamline was brought in by VWT to assess the problem and implement a quick solution.

The TSES system was brought in on a trial basis to evaluate its efficacy in controlling odors at the site.

Once the TSES was optimized, the customer has not had one fine since TSES implementation.

Process upsets and inclement weather created challenges, however, the TSES system once fully implemented with automation will provide consistent H2S control for the customer.

We are excited about this partnership and look forward to more industrial H2S related opportunities in the future.

TSES is one of Streamline’s differentiated technologies developed for Wastewater H2S and Odor Control.

Streamline Innovations Converts TALON® Sulfide Elimination System Pilot to Permanent Installation at Large Pulp and Paper Mill for Wastewater Odor Control

Successful Installation of TALON® Sulfide Elimination System

Streamline Innovations in partnership with VWT Industrial performed a successful 14-day pilot project that is now transitioning to a permanent TALON Sulfide Elimination System® (TSES™) system installation for H2S treatment and wastewater odor control at a large pulp and paper mill in New York.

H2S levels at the plant have been excessive for years, and the mill needed a solution that was quick to deploy and would generate immediate results to get odors under control and meet fence line limits.

Within days of TSES optimization, H2S levels began to drop to acceptable levels.

Because of process upsets, changes to flows and weather, the situation was very challenging. However, both Streamline and VWT Industrial worked diligently to assess the issues and deploy quick solutions for supporting the customer.

Since the TSES system became operational, the mill has not received any fines from the air board.

TSES is one of Streamline’s differentiated technologies developed for Wastewater H2S and Odor Control.

Streamline Innovations’ TALON® Sulfide Elimination System Successfully Installed at Wastewater Treatment Plant for Odor Control

Successful Installation of TALON® Sulfide Elimination System

Streamline Innovations in partnership with HP Thompson, a Veolia Water Technologies representative, successfully piloted and installed a permanent TALON Sulfide Elimination System (TSES™) system for H2S and other malodorous compound treatment in the belt press room at a wastewater treatment plant in central Ohio.

Historically, odors have been a persistent issue in the press building and have made working conditions difficult for plant personnel. Another product had been used but the results were not satisfactory to plant management.

The TSES chemistry was injected inline 2-3 minutes upstream from the belt press and successfully performed the REDOX process prior to discharge. The pressed sludge only had a mild compost aroma and plant personnel repeatedly remarked that it was comfortable to be in the press room for long durations without headaches or smelling offensive once they left the building.

Additionally, operating expenses were reduced by approximately 10%.

TSES is one of Streamline’s differentiated technologies developed for Wastewater H2S and Odor Control.

We are excited about this partnership and look forward to more biosolids related opportunities in the future.

White Paper Summary

Wastewater Odor Control in the Spotlight

Odor control at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities has become a primary concern, as population growth brings more people into proximity of wastewater operations.

Residential communities are less tolerant of nuisance odors, and failure to cost-effectively control noxious odors can result in significant fines, damage corporate reputations and stress goodwill with communities.

Fortunately, wastewater professionals have a variety of odor control technologies available. In this paper we cover the most common odor control methods and discuss the best practices in wastewater management.

The Problem of H2S Treating and Wastewater Odor Control

At the root of odors generated from wastewater operations is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is a naturally occurring compound generated by bacterial breakdown or decomposition of organic material, both plant and animal, in anaerobic (absence of oxygen) conditions.

Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic, poisonous gas that is destructive to infrastructure and can be deadly to humans. H2S treatment is a critical concern for wastewater odor control.

H2S Treatment Methods

Methods for mitigating H2S-related odors have evolved over time, and today wastewater professionals have a variety of alternatives at their disposal.

Odor control H2S treating methods today include:

  • Aqueous phase H2S treatments (traditional)
  • Vapor phase H2S treatments (traditional)
  • Next Generation Redox for H2S treating (modern)

Traditional H2S treating methods have their individual benefits and drawbacks, which we cover in our white paper on odor control best practices.   

The Future of Wastewater Treatment – Next Generation Redox

Recent technological breakthroughs in chemistry and process optimization have ushered in a new era of H2S treating and wastewater odor control.

The TALON® Sulfide Elimination System (TSES™) from Streamline Innovations is a next generation Redox process for H2S treatment in both the water and vapor stages, eliminating foul odors without the downsides of traditional H2S treating methods.

TALON® Sulfide Elimination System technology page.

The TSES is a true game changer, by being the only solution capable of H2S treatment in both water and vapor phases. Using the same catalyst in both water and atmospheric situations, it works equally well (no loss in efficacy). This provides tremendous flexibility in applications at municipal and industrial wastewater operations.

Regenerative Solution. The TSES is a regenerative process that restores the chemistry so it can be reused, significantly reducing the cost of H2S treating.

  • VALKYRIE® Unit is a key element in upgrading the landfill gas to Renewable Natural Gas for sale to local pipeline utility
  • Installation represents a technological breakthrough for H2S treating in very low pressure environments

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (January 27, 2022) – Streamline Innovations, Inc. today announced the successful installation, startup, and operation of their first ultra-low-pressure VALKYRIE® Unit for treating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at a landfill in Northern Illinois.  The customer is one of the largest full-service providers of solid waste collection and non-hazardous solid waste landfill services in the United States and Canada.  This installation achieves Streamline’s goal of expanding into the renewable fuels and gas market.

The VALKYRIE Unit in this application is able to treat up to 11 MMscfd of landfill gas having H2S concentration levels up to 3,000 parts per million (ppm) and operating at less than 4 psig.  This is Streamline’s first full installation at a landfill and deployment of its High-Efficiency Contacting System™ for low pressure operations.  In addition, the VALKYRIE Unit was configured for extreme winter conditions.

The VALKYRIE Unit installation is part of the customer’s plan to upgrade the landfill gas to be sold as Renewable Natural Gas to the local natural gas pipeline utility.  The VALKYRIE Unit reduces the H2S content in the gas stream to the pipeline’s specification of less than 4 ppm.

Valkyrie installation at landfill gas operation removes H2S in extreme low pressure environments.
Landfill gas operation converts H2S into Simple Elemental Sulfur.
The High-Efficiency Contacting System™ facilitates operation in very low-pressure environments.

The Unit provides multiple benefits, including the elimination of routine flaring and the destruction of the H2S by converting it into Simple Elemental Sulfur™, which is listed with the Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI) for use in Organic Production.  

Streamline’s technology to reliably treat high H2S concentrations in gas at low pressures represents a technological breakthrough with far reaching implications for gas from anaerobic digesters, landfills, renewable fuels refineries, and industrial exhaust.  This technology can handle large changes in gas flows and H2S concentrations, removing much of the uncertainty that otherwise leads to excess flaring.
