Plant management wanted to provide enough steam capacity for ethanol processing while saving fuel. Cleaver-Brooks achieved these goals by installing a slant-type heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) designed for increased heat transfer and excellent heat absorption.
Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage, known as SAGD, is considered the most viable and environmentally safe recovery technology for extracting heavy oil and bitumen. Utilized for more than a decade, the process uses an advanced form of steam stimulation to extract oil from a pair of horizontal wells drilled into a reservoir.
