NEW ENERGY GC FT&C NL1035 NL1036 Municipal waste to aviation fuel in Nevada
When the plant begins commercial operations in 2020, it will convert approximately 175,000 tons of household garbage into more than 10.5 million gallons of fuel each year.
Jord’s scope comprises balance of plant for a steam driven gas compression train, a 500 tpd amine system for removal of H2S and CO2, a second gas treatment system for removal of NH3 and various piperacks and structures.
You surely have to go back to Marco Polo in the 13th century to find a journey as epic as this one. Jord chartered its own ship to transport all 2,500 tons of plant to site. The journey commenced at Jebel Ali port in the UAE. The ship berthed briefly in Malaysia to collect some air coolers before crossing the Pacific to Stockton Port, Los Angeles. Then the real fun started. 59 trucks, 19 of them police escorted, were driven a circuitous 1,500km route across three states to the site in Reno Nevada. Circuitous because the loads were too big to summit the Rocky Mountains.

O&G TOPSIDE NL1048 Packing a punch
Jord’s two topside modules, some 2,800 tons in weight, will deliver 100MW of power to the FPSO vessel.
Lying at the heart of Jord’s scope are four LM2500 gas turbines. A derivative of a GE aircraft engine, the model selected is designed specifically for the FPSO market. It is a lighter, more compact version, generating electricity and driving compressors that send natural gas from the FPSO to an onshore facility for further processing.
Jord scope includes the detailed design, assembly and packaging of the two turbo-generator topside modules and associated waste heat recovery units (WHRU). So too their associated process systems, including fuel gas, liquid fuel, cooling water, lube oil, demineralized water (for the WHRU), water washing for the core engines and instrument air systems.

O&G TOPSIDE NL1047 Oil treatment & produced water FPSO topsides
The two main modules here weigh 2,600 and 1,700 tons, respectively. The first receives production well and other fluids from various sources to perform production liquid degassing, well testing and crude oil dehydration in order to meet both BS&W and salt specification for export oil. The second treats the large quantity of produced water generated along with the hydrocarbon fluids. Processing technology includes a water collection/skim vessel, de-oiling hydrocyclones and an induced gas flotation (IGF).

O&G TOPSIDES NL1006 2000 tonnes in 11 months
The project team successfully met an ambitious task of having the topside modules FAS (free alongside its fabrication shipyard wharf) within 11 months of award. To achieve this, an accelerated component procurement schedule was maintained concurrent to a tightly scripted and staged detailed design program.
This project involved 2,000 tons of topside modules for an existing Jack-Up Rig destined for PEMEX. The topsides were designed to support the process equipment and utilities required to deliver condensate and drive 5x13MW gas turbines. This involved inlet separation, custody gas and condensate metering, gas compression cooling, fuel gas treatment a HP/LP flare stack, flare seal drum and all associated utilities and control systems.
