We can't even supply ourselves with gas, yet this moron talking about ramping up production for Europe?

I may have missed it.

Zandolie start producing anything yet?

I see they at least making efforts to be self sufficient by ensuring their own gas supply and won the award for best decarbonization project.

We still dependant on oil and gas while martime fuel shifting towards methanol as a green source.

Isn't methanol mostly formed from natural gas?

As said above electrolysis is an option.

And we have extra capacity from tgu that was originally built for the smelter which never happened.

Desalcott in primary location for things to happen but demands.

There are package desalination / reverse osmosis plants available that can forgoe strain on desal infrastructure.

And we may have extra extra CO2 now.

Can it be used for lasers?

They have extra capacity, but no gas to fuel that capacity.
No gas to run up the extra methanol plants,
No gas to run up extra reformer/blue hydrogen unit,
No gas to run any additional MeOH plants to absorb additional co2
No gas to run up train 1
Not gas to make the sheit he talk on Richard quest believable.




Like voters in tobago Ridge... We have no gas there!

You mean cooling?

CO2 iirc r700 runs high head pressures and need special lines and compressors in most instances. Not the stuff you buy in the corner shops.

It's good but not popular.

R404 is usually the most viable candidate for low temperatures seconded by r134a.

New kid on the block is r600 ie isobutane. Very low head pressures but most systems limited in size by the volume approved for use. I assume for safety reasons.

[Numb3r4]

CO2 lasers as in the kind they use for medical and skin treatment or cutting lasers?

seeing methanex talking about m100 (straight methanol) in production vehicles. Apparently its already happening.

Methanol is being used in vehicles around the world, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest user of methanol for automotive fuel.

what about the rubbers and plastics?

[nervewrecker]

I will like to believe its vehicles modded to accommodate it or special manufacture.

From research I know different injectors are needed, iirc stainless steel lines and tanks. Methanol having a lower energy density than conventional gasoline needs larger volumes injected per combustion cycle so bigger injectors are required or higher cycle duty.

Research also revealed that oil changes are needed more frequent as meth being a good solvent put engines at a higher risk of bore wash and oil wold get contaminated faster from meths low viscosity. Lower reves (not 9k redline) would be a probable requirement to prevent bore wash.

Cylinder sleeving for aluminium blocks should ease corrosion in gasoline types.

Meth itself cools cylinder chambers on injection instances so overall engines run cooler and so long for predetonation.

What Is a CO2 Laser Treatment?
"It's a carbon dioxide laser used for skin resurfacing," says New York-based dermatologist Dr. Hadley King. "It vaporizes thin layers of skin, creating a controlled injury and as the skin heals, collagen is produced as part of the wound healing process."

With the right kinda usage, this country could make a mint on acne ,burn and other skin care treatment.I jus saying

[nervewrecker]

Liquid CO2 is an excellent solvent as well.

Wanted to use it to clean engine bay. But water vapor from the air keeps freezing inside the lines.

Got some carbon steel pipe from SSL rated for 3000 psi and loaded it with dry ice. Next rounds I will pre fill the lines with nitrogen.

Have steel braided lines rated for 2000 psi.

900 psi is easy to rustle up at ambient temps with stored CO2.

A flush kit for flushing refrigerant lines of residual oil is $750.00 and solvent is over $100.00 for a small amount. CO2 leaves no residue and requires no propellant to move the solvent through the system. A bag of dry ice is just over $50.00. it's a no brainer as to which is the better option..

Some of the guys use it for indoor canabis cultivation. On tank regulator with timer relay and solenoid to vent some low pressure CO2 in the grow room every so often.

CO2 has lots of uses but the sellers just not marketing it.

Indeed E85 (ethanol) tunes were/are commonplace in the US market, and they do indeed require larger injectors, pumps, higher IDCs etc etc to make the equivalent HPs from say, a straight gasolene tune.

Stands to reason I suppose that pure/blended methanol/MeOH as a fuel would behave similarly I guess....and MeOH does have a higher GGE (i.e. lower specific output per unit vol).

That said, the above considers that a tuner is trying to make XYZ hp from a given tune on an engine - gas map and E85 map.

For a regular street driven car with no specific HP expectations, a swtich from gas to MeOH may just result in less power at that point, assuming the engine runs properly with no issues (no idea if the latter will occur).

DeNovo Energy has started gas production from the offshore Zandolie field in Trinidad & Tobago.

The field, located in the Gulf of Paria off the west coast of Trinidad, is DeNovo’s second offshore development following the Iguana field development in the same Block 1(a).

The $52-million investment by the Trinidad-based DeNovo demonstrates the company’s commitment to increasing Trinidad’s natural gas supply by developing stranded and marginal gas reserves, it said in a statement.

Gas from the field is produced through a single well, conductor-supported platform with a nameplate capacity of 40 MMcf/D of gas.

This unmanned facilities platform, designed by UK-based offshore engineering firm Aquaterra Energy, is installed in 20 m of water, and tied back to the Iguana platform.

The Aquaterra Sea Swift conductor-supported platform design is powered by a wind turbine and a solar bank. Use of the dual-energy resource reduces intermittency risk and includes a battery to store excess power.

Additionally, the platform is equipped with an intelligent monitoring technology that alerts personnel through onshore systems when a maintenance visit is required.

The integration of renewable resources makes Zandolie the first design of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago, according to DeNovo.

"This critical milestone in DeNovo's second field development highlights the drive by the team to constantly improve and learn. We pushed ourselves to deliver a greener and more local platform," said DeNovo's Managing Director, Bryan Ramsumair, in the release.

"The result is that the Zandolie platform is a local fabrication which is 100% powered by renewable energy—and which will minimize the carbon footprint of our operations.”

Aquaterra was awarded the front-end engineering and design contract for the project in May 2020. The firm had previously designed, built, and installed a Sea Swift conductor-supported platform for DeNovo at the Iguana field in 2018.

The field development builds off the existing Iguana infrastructure enabling a more- compact topside structure that is lighter and more efficient, according to DeNovo.

“It is our intention to keep acquiring access to new acreage to allow us to do more projects like this on a regular basis,” said Ramsumair. “With Zandolie, DeNovo is demonstrating that our future energy industry can be done locally and with a lower carbon footprint—both aligned to the country's development objectives."

Construction of the platform was completed at the United Engineering Services Limited local fabrication yard. The Zandolie drilling campaign was also safely conducted by the local Well Services jackup Rig 110.

DeNovo Energy, part of the Proman family of companies, holds an 80% interest in Zandolie and is operator of the field. The National Gas Company of Trinidad & Tobago holds the remaining 20% interest.

Yes, that is 4 plants roughly, BUT there is that pesky 1.1 BILLION SCFD shortfall to make up for first.

they might leave that jess so, and either supply murica, or honor the green hydrogen deals they sign with eu or whoever. they gonna use one of the tringen to create hydrogen.


unless, they work out with biden to get dragon gas going.

With falling domestic gas production in Trinidad & Tobago over the past few years, Trinidad’s total LNG exports have been decreasing with LNG production in the first 5 months of 2022 just 57% of the peak production achieved in 2009. While this decline in production means that Trinidad does not have the gas resources immediately available to deliver more gas to Europe, it does mean that there is significant underutilised midstream infrastructure and available LNG gasification facilities available. Unlike other producers, Trinidad does not need to secure significant investment in greenfield processing facilities to make more gas available for delivery to international markets. Train 1 of the Atlantic LNG export facility, with a processing capacity of 3 million tonnes per year of LNG, has been offline since 2020.

This underutilised LNG processing capacity represents a significant opportunity if Trinidad & Tobago could increase its domestic gas production. Major gas producers in Trinidad & Tobago, including Shell, bp and EOG Resources do have projects either in execution or under development that could help shore up falling gas production. However, these projects are unlikely to increase overall production and will just help offset natural reservoir decline. Woodside, who recently acquired the upstream petroleum assets of BHP, are reviewing the development options for the 3.,5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources announced for the Calypso Project along with their partner bp, but this gas is unlikely to be available until nearer the end of the decade.

[sMASH]

all that mean is we hadda fite to merely keep treading water with our feilds.

but, recent ease up on vene sanctions could mean we might get access to the dragon gas.

Majority shares in TGU owned by those that wear green. New towers and lines being run from TGU cross country to minimise downtime incidents, have multiple feeders and have infrastructure that can accommodate the load.

We moving towards electrolysis like the other plants they have?

Also, they proposed recently that 4 - 5 new plants be built but to ship out if I'm not mistaken.

some body say, those new plants is world wide, not necessarily trinidad.

electrolysis is inefficient compared to nat gas reforming.
so, burning nat gas to generate electricity, then to separate water to generate hydrogen is jess lying.
they will hadda wait till solar and wind turbine pumping to do that electrolysis ting,,,

Any body coukd get a P&ID or process overview fir the wgtl plant?
