Questor Technology Inc. (“Questor”)
Inc
is an international environmental
nvironmental
technology company specializing in
custom solutions to eliminate flared

to operate cost effectively in an
environmentally responsible and
sustainable manner.
3. WHY QUESTOR?
High efficiency combustion is key to improving air
quality and assisting in energy efficiency.
Improvement of air quality is one of the key
I t f i lit i f th k
elements to sustainable development worldwide.
Incineration technology optimizes energy
utilization
QTI develops ‘application-specific’ solutions

5. COMBUSTION OF HYDROCARBONS
99.99% combustion requires the right mix of air and fuel
CH4 + 2 O2 = heat + CO2 + 2 H2O
Methane + Oxygen = heat + Carbon Dioxide + Water
Poor combustion results in the creation of:
Unburned hydrocarbons
Carbon
C b monoxide
id
Volatile organic hydrocarbons or VOC’s
(benzene, styrene, toluene, xylenes etc.)
Sulfur compounds besides to SO2
(H S,
( 2S carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfides,
f f
mercaptans)
+ over 250 other compounds identified in the research
7. FLARING INCINERATION
Difficult to measure efficiency Measured independently at 99.99%
and varies from site to site consistently
Heavily influenced by crosswinds Combustion occurs in a closed
allowing gases to escape chamber unaffected by winds
unburned
Difficulty burning rich gases often High temperatures efficiently burn
producing soot deposits and rich gas. Air pre-mixed with the
black smoke (BTEX, VOC, PAH)
( , , ) waste gas prior to combustion
Entrained liquid droplets Not effected by liquid droplet size
decrease combustion efficiency
Visible flame No visible flame
