Red Mountain Energy to supply an air separation plant to Guatemala

Red Mountain Energy (RME) and COMPANIA GUATEMALTECA DE NIQUEL (CGN) have signed an agreement under which RME will supply the equipment for an air separation plant as part of a cryogenic plant for the production of liquid oxygen and nitrogen, within the framework of the FeNix project in Guatemala.

 

The purpose of the FeNix project is to revive the extraction and processing of nickel ore in the deposit near Lake Izabal in Guatemala. Nickel ore was first mined here in 1974, but for economic reasons the work was suspended for many years. However, in recent times CGN has embarked on reviving production, making sure the new facilities meet today’s environmental standards as required in pyro-metallurgical processes.

 

Part of this project is to supply a new air separation plant (ASP) for the production of oxygen and nitrogen. The produced oxygen will be used in ferro-nickel melting processes; nitrogen will be used to provide explosion proof conditions for coal dust. The plant will produce 1 000 kg/hour of liquid oxygen or nitrogen.

 

According to the provisions of the contract, Red Mountain Energy will design the air separation plant, deliver equipment to the site, and also supervise the installation, start-up and commissioning. Design and manufacture of the ASP has already begun.

 

Most ASPs of the type delivered by RME are capable of extracting gaseous nitrogen, which in the long term increases production volumes of liquid nitrogen by using a highly effective gaseous nitrogen liquefier with an energy consumption of 0.85 kw-h/kg.

 

This air separation plant technology is based on a low pressure cryogenic cycle developed by Red Mountain Energy experts. Expanded air is boosted in a turboexpander compressor which increases the air pressure at the turboexpander inlet while energy consumption remains unchanged. This technology increases the cooling capacity of the entire air separation cycle.

In addition to the ASP other equipment to be delivered includes a centrifugal compressor, cryogenic tanks with a total capacity of 120 m3 with atmospheric evaporators, and also screw compressors to supply the enterprise with compressed air.

 

Red Mountain Energy will supply equipment to the site in the form of modular units which are ready for installation. In particular, the "warm" part of the plant will be delivered in the form of a single module which will reduce the time it takes to assemble, as well as costs relating to start-up and adjustment works.

Red Mountain Energy completes start-up and commissioning for an air separation plant in the Ryazan region

Premium Engineering, part of the Red Mountain Energy (St. Louis, USA), has completed the start-up and commissioning of an air separation plant on behalf of the Russian company, Kryogen, the leading manufacturer and supplier of gases in Ryazan and the surrounding area.
 

The installation has included: a double-flow cooling tower, a centrifugal air compressor and a gas separation plant for production of up to 1000 kg/hour of liquid oxygen or nitrogen. The plant ensures the production of high quality products: oxygen – 99.9 %, nitrogen - 5 ppm О2.
 

Premium Engineering prepared all working documentation for the equipment, then supervised the installation, start-up and commissioning. The air separation plant had been successfully put into operation and is now producing liquid oxygen and nitrogen. The time it took to implement the project, from the initial signing of the contract to project to start-up and commissioning was just over one year (13.5 months).
 

The plant increases the production of liquid nitrogen. As soon as an additional nitrogen liquefaction unit is put in place, the plant will double its productivity, while at the same time decreasing its consumption of electric power, thus making considerable financial savings. It is hoped that the two companies will continue to work together on other projects in the future.

Contract Signed with Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant

Red Mountain Energy has signed a contract with the Novokuznetsk Iron and Steel Plant (NKMK), a subsidiary of the Evraz Group S.A., to upgrade their air separation unit (ASU) as part of the "Pulverized Coal Injection Facility for Blast Furnaces" project.


The contract imposes on Red Mountain Energy a very tight schedule, setting the launch date for the new facility at July 15th, 2012.


Under the terms of the agreement Red Mountain Energy will act as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contractor for the entire project, in charge of basic and detail engineering, industrial safety, the manufacturing and supply of equipment, and the installation and commissioning of the facility. The deadline for equipment delivery is 14 months.


The upgrade means the ASU will be able to capture and compress waste nitrogen, a by-product of the KdAd-15/12 air separation unit. The unit configuration will also include a new centrifugal nitrogen compressor, a water cooling system, and a remote control and monitoring system allowing the ASU to generate an additional 20,000 cubic meters of compressed nitrogen per hour.


The equipment will be commissioned in July 2012, and will enable the West Siberian Iron and Steel plant to start using power generating coals as fuel for its blast furnaces. Natural gas will no longer be used in the plant, making an annual saving of up to 600 million m3 of natural gas. The coke consumption will be reduced by more than 20%. In general, the implementation of this project should make a significant improvement to the local environment.


Denis Smyslov, Chairman of the Board of Red Mountain Energy, says: "It is of critical importance that the upgrade be carried out with the minimal impact on the ongoing production of process gases. To this end, Red Mountain Energy will implement a comprehensive program of equipment installation and commissioning to connect the new equipment to the existing facilities during its planned shutdown."

Red Mountain Energy participated in the World CTL 2011 conference

The World Coal-to-Liquids conference was held in Paris from March 1st-3rd, 2011. The subjects under discussion were gasification and direct liquefaction of coal, production of liquid motor fuels, synthetic natural gas and chemicals. The event was organized by the World CTL Association, France and by Total.


The conference brought together representatives of over 100 companies and organizations from 20 countries worldwide, including Exxon Mobile, Synthesis Energy Systems (USA), Axens (USA and France), BP, World Coal Association, World Energy Council (UK), IFP Energies Nouvelles, Trapil, International Energy Agency (France), Rosnano (Russia).


On the first day of the forum, leading experts of the global CTL industry made presentations on topical issues:

  • Gasification: New Developments and Projects Update
  • Syngas to Gasoline Substitute Natural Gas and Chemicals
  • Direct Coal Liquefaction
  • Methanol to Olefins

Non-Conventional Technologies:

  • Underground Coal Gasification
  • Plasma Technologies, Pyrolysis.


The second day was devoted to economic strategy in certain developing regions, namely India, Russia and China. Participants reported on innovative fuel conversion projects in Australia, and coal to liquids projects in South Africa. On the third day the main themes were environmental safety, and the impact of CTL on the environment.


Olesia Pashchenko, senior project manager of the Russian branch of Red Mountain Energy, gave a presentation about the company and its role in the world market of gas processing. She spoke about the prospects of coal gasification technology in Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries. Ms. Pashchenko assessed the current situation of the coal industry, highlighting specific difficulties, in particular the limited railway capacity in this region, and how this affects companies which are increasing their coal production; and the lack of available transport infrastructure which results in the high cost of transporting coal from production areas to consumers. In her summary Olesia Pashchenko emphasized that coal gasification technology is of interest to coal companies in terms of processing and making profitable use of low-quality brown coal (at the present time transportation costs of this low quality coal exceed the market value). When it comes to other industrial sectors such as energy, steel and oil processing, gasification of coal or petroleum residues provides low cost synthetic natural gas or hydrogen for the industrial needs of these sectors, at the same time ensuring energy independence from state corporations in the purchasing of this feedstock (natural gas).


Another precondition for the development of gasification technology is the emerging shift in the economic policy of Russia, which is aimed at delivering products with a higher added value. The main target is more advanced extraction and processing of natural resources: a transition from the straight forward export of mineral resources, to the deep conversion of feedstock and the sale of a more valuable product. Such a change in economic strategy implies a certain involvement and encouragement from the state, such as tax incentives. And although such technologies are still challenging and require high capital costs, nevertheless coal to motor fuels and synthetic natural gas technology is the ideal alternative to traditional processes, especially in remote areas with poor transport infrastructure. The experience of Red Mountain Energy with its long experience in the processing of natural and associated gas, surface and underground coal gasification, is in a strong position to implement such projects in Russia and other CIS countries.

Red Mountain Energy has commissioned seven Ajax compressors in Ukraine

Red Mountain Energy has commissioned seven Ajax integral engine-compressors at compressor stations operating in the fields of Hidnovichi, Oposhnya and Komyshnya located in the Lvov and Poltava regions of Ukraine.


The commissioning is set to provide an increase in the natural gas production by 285 million cubic meters per year, which should compensate for the natural decline in gas production at fields which are in advanced stages of depletion. Despite the steady decline in reservoir pressure, natural gas will be supplied to the mainline gas pipelines in the required amount. Production of gas condensate will rise accordingly.


The units are designed to handle raw natural gas using the pumped gas as a fuel. These entirely standalone engine-compressors will run on pumped gas, independent of any external energy sources, complete with local control systems. The units are sheltered, which should simplify considerably the setting-up and operating process.


In February 2010, Red Mountain Energy delivered 16 Ajax compressors to Ukrgazdobycha a major gas producer affiliated to Naftogaz of Ukraine. The commissioning of these compressors will increase the annual gas output by 900 million cubic meters. In June 2010, Red Mountain Energy commissioned 10 units. Startup of the remaining six units is scheduled before the end of this year in the Shebelinskoe and Komarno fields.

Red Mountain Energy took part in the 18th Kazakhstan International Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference (KIOGE)

Red Mountain Energy took part in the 18th Kazakhstan International Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference (KIOGE) held from October 6th to 9th in the Atakent Exhibition Center, Almaty.


KIOGE presented Red Mountain Energy with an excellent opportunity to present its latest ideas to many of its current clients, as well as to develop new relationships with potential customers.


Red Mountain specialists were able to show KIOGE visitors some of the latest technology in the field of oil and gas and also provided detailed information about the delivery of industrial facilities and of compressors which support successive process operations, from the primary separation of associated gas to the refinement of marketable products.


KIOGE is one of the largest industrial exhibitions in the CIS and a focus for all those ready to take up the challenge of doing business in Kazakhstan. Each year the event attracts over 600 companies from 30 countries all over the world.


Bill Dethloff, Director for gas processing at Red Mountain Energy, said: "KIOGE is a very large international exhibition relative to any other regional exhibition. Kazakhstan is an important, active and growing part of Red Mountain’s total regional market, therefore this event is an excellent way for the company to gain added local market exposure. It is important that we establish a much stronger presence there than we currently have, so I think we should be looking seriously at opening an office in Almaty."


According to Mr. Dethloff, the presence of Red Mountain Energy in Kazakhstan is primarily to develop the compression and associated gas process businesses.


Says Bill Dethloff: "Ajax compressors are of interest to Kazakhstan’s associated gas producers because they are very rugged and capable operating on fuel gas that is rich in hydrocarbons or contaminated with H2S, CO2 and or nitrogen. Further, Kazakhstan has strong legislation in place for oil and gas operators to reduce and eliminate the flaring of associated gas.”

Red Mountain Energy Corporation has commissioned an Integrated Ajax Motor Compressor at the Kulichikha IOGTU in Ukraine

U.S. based Red Mountain Energy Corporation has commissioned a motor-driven Ajax (Cameron Compression Systems) compressor at the Kulichikha Integrated Oil and Gas Treatment Unit (IOGTU) located in the south-west of Poltava Region, Ukraine.

Once the compressor is operational, gas pressure will increase from 0.9 MPa to 3.0 MPa. The use of the compressor will increase gas production to 80,000 m3/day, helping offset its natural decline.

Before the installation of the compressor, associated petroleum gas was being flared, thus causing serious pollution to the air and damaging the environment, and gas wells with declining production were idle.

The American based Corporation, Red Mountain Energy, has become the main sponsor of the “Wild Line” expedition to ascend and descend one of the highest mountains of the Pamirs, Muztagh Ata (7546 meters).

Access to the mountain runs through the territory of Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet Republic and today part of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the CIS. Members of the “Wild Line” expedition face a daunting task: having reached the summit of Muztagh Ata they make their descent using “speed riders”, a combination of paraplane and parachute, which enables them to descent the mountain on skis or on a snowboard while gliding above the ricks.


Taking part in the expedition which started on July 7th are two world renowned alpinists and parachutists, one woman, one man: Cyrilde Pinard and Francois Bon. Cyrilde Pinard, the 2010 French ladies speed riding champion, has been training hard in France on the slopes of Chamonix which lies in the shadow of Mont Blanc. Cyrilde is expected to become the first woman speed rider to conquer Muztagh Ata, but this is not uppermost on her mind. First and foremost Cyrilde is looking forward to “the unforgettable adrenaline experience of 80 km/h during the descent”. Francois Bon is the French Speed Flying “Pro Les Arcs 2009” champion. His athletic achievements were recognized by the National Geographic Society with an award in the Adrenaline category in 2008. The extreme sportsman confessed that “gliding above the rocky range with its glacial brows is a gripping experience”.


For the two team members it’s a tough daily grind as they ascend the slopes in sub-zero temperature and bitter wind, carrying their skis on their backs. However, Cyrilde and Francois treated themselves to one day off: July 14, Bastille Day and the main French national holiday, which they celebrated in their tent 5000 meters above the sea level, on the slopes of the 'ice-mountain-father', as the natives call Muztagh Ata.


Denis Smyslov, Chairman of the Board, explains his interest and involvement in the expedition: “Speed riding is a new technology, and, as with all sports, it’s all about managing energy in an efficient way. And it’s open to women as much as to men. In fact, Cyrilde’s participation in this expedition is proof of a new confidence, in sport and in life, felt by women in today’s modern world. Also, the choice of venue is key: the descent takes places from one of the highest mountains in the CIS, a reflection of Red Mountain Energy’s stated mission: to introduce new technologies to members of the CIS. We like to think that Red Mountain is synonymous with ‘drive and energy’ ”.


Denis Smyslov, Chairman of the Board, has a personal interest: not only is he keen on rock-climbing, alpinism and speed riding, he also feels there is a serious lesson to be learnt: “Francois Bon and Cyrilde Pinard are sportsmen who have been living and working in Chamonix without boasting of their achievements, but passing on their skills and experience to others. It is symbolical for me as well: it is about time Russia moves from the “Courchevel model” based on excessive consumption and self-glorification without any attempt at self-improvement or self-development, to the “Chamonix model” which is based on drive, dedication, real results and achievement”.

Red Mountain Energy Corporation puts into operation two integrated AJAX motor compressors at the Lyubeshov gas field in the Ukraine.

US based Red Mountain Energy Corporation has put into operation two motor-driven AJAX compressors, manufactured by the Cameron Compression Systems, at the compressor station in Lyubeshov, which is located in the south of the Lvov region in the Ukraine.


The commissioning and start up of the compressors was the final stage in the construction of a gas compression facility, which will help increase natural gas production at the Lyubeshov gas field (from 10 to 170 thousand cubic meters per day).


The compressors direct the gas from the wells into the Dashava-Pukenichi gas pipeline which transports the gas to local customers in the Ukraine, and also further afield to European customers. The gas is also stored underground.


In February 2010, the Red Mountain Energy Corp. delivered 16 compressor units to Ukrgazdobycha, a subsidiary of Naftogaz, the Ukrainian state gas company. The equipment will be installed at the booster compressor stations located at the gas fields in the Lvov, Poltava and Kharkov Regions.


Scheduled for 2010, the commissioning of the compressor units will increase the Ukraine’s annual gas output by 900 million cubic meters. The compressor units are intended for the production and transportation of raw natural gas and they are fuelled by pumped gas.


Thanks to the Ajax compressors, the gas flow rate and pressure are kept constant as the gas enters the pipeline.

More than three hundred customers visited the Red Mountain Energy stand at the “Oil & Gas 2010” exhibition at Moscow’s Expocentre

The American based corporation, Red Mountain Energy, participated in the 13th International Exhibition, "Oil & Gas 2010", held in Moscow’s Expocentre, June 21 to June 25.

Over three hundred people visited the Red Mountain Energy stand where they talked to company experts who offered comprehensive information about the technology of Gas Processing and Recovery, Heavy Oil and Bottoms Enhancement, as well as Compressor Equipment.

Red Mountain Energy’s executive management team was on hand throughout the exhibition and made several ground breaking presentations at the Red Mountain Energy seminar. Vice President Bill Dethloff called his paper, "Rules of thumb – a simplified approach to sizing simple gas processing equipment items on a very rough basis for a variety of reasons, usually involving questions of very preliminary economic feasibility." The opening speaker was the Director of Technical Development, Peter Ludkovski.

Albert Soultanov, Senior Process Engineer for upgrading Heavy Oil made a presentation about the new Red Mountain Heavy Oil Process / RM HOUP /. The speaker emphasized among the advantages of this technology is a high yield of stable synthetic oil which meets the requirements of GOST (the RF standards & regulations). The Heavy Oil Process does not require a catalyst; it can be swiftly integrated into existing oil refinery plants, and is used in field conditions for the processing of heavy oils right at the well site.

Michael Boldyrev, Sales Manager in the Gas Projects Department gave a presentation entitled, “Compressors for small and medium-sized fields”. He described in detail features of specific compressors used for associated gas and drew attention to other problems in the oil and gas industry which can be solved by selecting the correct compressors.

Andrey Shagarin, Project Manager in the Gas Projects Department, gave a presentation entitled, "Membrane Gas Treatment Units", in which he emphasized that the membrane technology used by Red Mountain Energy is the most simple and effective way to treat the fuel gas.

Vladimir Smirnov, chief designer of cryogenic machinery, gave a presentation on the use of expander technology in low-temperature gas processing. "Reliable performance of turbo-expander units is an area of shared responsibility of the general designer, supplier and end-user of the machines," stressed Vladimir.

Red Mountain Energy is a regular participant of oil and gas exhibitions. The Corporation is renowned for using and propagating the most advanced energy saving technologies and equipment in gas production and processing, in oil refining, and in the metallurgical and chemical industries. Red Mountain Energy is actively involved in the modernization of the oil and gas industry in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries.

Red Mountain Energy’s participation at Oil & Gas 2010 has been published on the information site of the Oil and Gas Information Agency.

Red Mountain Energy Corporation staged a cultural event called The Energy of Art as part of the annual NEFTEGAS 2010 Exhibition.

Red Mountain Energy held The Energy of Art party at Soho Rooms in Moscow. Guests included leading global players of the oil and gas market who had come to the 2010 NEFTEGAS Exhibition, and it is hoped the event will become an annual fixture.


The event was supported by the Roza Azora Gallery and by the famous sculptor Georgy Frangulyan, an Honored Artist of Russia. Georgy Frangulyan numbers among his works sculptures of Bulat Okudzhava in Moscow, the Empress Yelizaveta Petrovna in Baltiisk, the sculpture of Peter the Great in Antwerp, and a bronze bark with the figures of Dante and Vergil in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon.


Moscow is waiting for his statue of the poet Joseph Brodsky, which is to be erected in a small square on the Novinsky Boulevard, inside the Moscow Garden Ring Road. The poet’s full length figure was cast a few years ago but is still standing in Frangulyan’s studio. The city has agreed only to pay for the general landscaping of the square, leaving the sculptor to bear the brunt of the costs. Red Mountain Energy will sponsor the landscaping of the specific area where the statue will be erected. In their speeches at this important cultural event the party organizers drew parallels between the energy generated by art and the energy generated by oil and gas. Denis Smyslov, Chairman of the Board, stated “5 megajoule of energy are required to produce one kilo of apples, – of this the energy of a human being accounts for only 30 per cent, while the other 70 per cent comes from natural resources. …Now 20 per cent of an apple eaten by an artist nourishes the brain activity. Therefore, from this we can deduce that all poetic stanzas, all paintings and pieces of music contain barrels of oil and cubic meters of gas. The artist transforms this energy into the highest form of creative activity which warms the heart and enlightens the souls of so many, including the men and women who produce oil and gas.”


At “The Energy of Art” the poetry of Derzhavin, Severyanin, and Mayakovsky were read aloud. The Jukebox Vocal Trio entertained the public with an astonishing display of vocal virtuosity, not only singing but vocally imitating an entire band, when in fact not a single instrument was played. Three young musicians masterfully remixed intricate versions of world famous hits armed with their voices only. And the group Bravo, veterans of Russian pop, provided the perfect mix of nostalgia and positive energy, entirely fitting for this very special occasion.
