FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of the system for collecting flare gas and using the same for electricity generation for storage and a plurality of secondary usage, according to one embodiment herein. With respect toFIG. 1 , the flaregas collector assembly 101 is installed in a close proximity of the flare stack pipeline at an oil well site. The flare gas is directly collected to the flaregas collector assembly 101 from the leaking pipeline or through a secondary pipeline connected before combustion chimney provided for burning of the flare gas leaked from the pipeline in the oil well. The collected flare gas is transferred to thecombustion engine 102 of the electricity generator through the intake valve. The intake valve is connected to the flaregas collector assembly 101 through a non-returning valve (NRV). Thecombustion engine 102 combusts the flare gas to generate a mechanical output that is transferred to thealternator 104 through the crank shaft and theoutput shaft 103. Thealternator 104 is connected to the divider circuit (not shown). The divider circuit monitors a load on thealternator 104 comprising thebattery pack 105, theprimary pump 107, thesecondary pump 109, thecentrifuge 108 and thefiltration assembly 111. The divider circuit limits the current and voltage to the battery pack and redirects an extra power generated by thealternator 104 to theprimary pump 107, thesecondary pump 109, thecentrifuge 108 and thefiltration assembly 111 on the basis of their power requirement. Theprimary pump 107 is connected to the output node of thealternator 104 through the divider circuit for pumping water from ground to theprimary reservoir 106 through a plurality of returning valves. Thecentrifuge 108 is connected to the output node of thealternator 104 through the divider circuit. Thecentrifuge 108 receives water from theprimary reservoir 106 through theprimary pump 107. Thecentrifuge 108 separates a water from undissolved solids. A water with total undissolved salts (TDS) is transferred to thesecondary reservoir 110. A water from thesecondary reservoir 110 is pumped into thefiltration assembly 111. Thefiltration assembly 111 is powered through the electricity generator. The transportation assembly houses and transports the flaregas collector assembly 101, the electric generator, the divider circuit, thebattery pack 105, theprimary pump 107, thecentrifuge 108 and thefiltration assembly 111. 39.FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of the system for collecting flare gas and using the same for electricity generation for storage and a plurality of secondary usage with a compressor, according to one embodiment herein. With respect toFIG. 2 , the flaregas collector assembly 101 is connected to thecombustion engine 102 through acompressor 112 if the compression ratio of thecombustion engine 102 is lower that the required for optimum combustion of the flare gas. Thecompressor 112 is connected to the flaregas collector assembly 101 through a non-returning valve. - According to one embodiment herein, the system is implemented primarily at oil well sites and additionally to a zone with leakage of natural gas or combustible gas.
- According to one embodiment herein, the transmission panel is connected to a plurality of electro-mechanical actuators. The plurality of electromechanical actuators are controlled through a command code sent from the monitoring panel during a manual control operation. For an automated control operation, a prestored computer readable program interacts with the data sent from the transmission panel and matches the instantaneous data with an ideal working condition data. The ideal working condition data is taken as a reference data and a deviation from the reference data initiates an alarm mode. The alarm mode is a stand-by mode for the actuators in which a predetermined amount of power is diverted to the actuators for bringing the working of the system within safe limits as determined by the reference data.
- The present system provides a power generation and usage from the waste flare gas which is normally burnt into atmosphere and leads to air pollution. The present system also provides battery charging at real time to be used for off-site purpose such as household works and automobiles. The present system also provides real time secondary usage of the extra power generated from the alternator in water pumping, storage and filtration. Also the assembly of the present system comprising the flare gas collector assembly, the electric generator, the divider circuit, the battery pack, the primary pump, the centrifuge and the filtration assembly work dependently as well as independently of each other facilitating their implementation at a same site or on different sites simultaneously.
- It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
