Frequently Asked Question


How quickly can I recover the additional capital expense of the Quantum Leap Technology (QLT)?

The price of natural gas, your operating conditions and environmental issues are key to determining how quickly you will recover your capital investment. QLT eliminates the gas vented by the Kimray pump or similar pressure powered pumps, and reduces the gas presently being consumed in the form of fuel or stripping gas by 50% or more depending on your operating conditions. Also, consideration of the cost of fines imposed or other equipment required to meet environmental constraints must be considered. Additional investment for flares, thermal oxidizers or other equipment mandated by environmental concerns are eliminated.

How much operational flexibility will I have if I use QLT?

QLT operates over a wider pressure envelope than conventional glycol dehydrators. Operating pressures as low as 50 psig are obtainable. The process also responds to fluctuations in gas volume just as any conventional dehydrator. QLT is designed with the operator in mind, with control systems and degree of complexity similar to conventional dehydration equipment. QLT is applicable to any glycol dehydration requirement, in any location, anywhere in the world.

What is the difference in the Quantum Leap Dehydration Technology and a traditional glycol system?

QLT captures all BTEX and other hydrocarbons that traditional glycol dehydrators emit to the atmosphere. The captured hydrocarbons are consumed as fuel or are routed to the oil storage tank as stable liquids. QLT operates over a wider pressure range with reduced maintenance concerns while reducing your fuel costs by 50% or more.
