ABOUT QUESTOR TECHNOLOGY INC.
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with
operations across North America, the Company provides specialized
waste gas incineration products and services that destroy harmful
pollutants in any waste gas stream at 99.99 percent efficiency
enabling our clients to meet emission regulations, address
community concerns and improve safety at industrial sites.
There are several methods for handling waste
gases at oil and gas industrial facilities, the most common being
combustion. Flaring and incineration are two methods of combustion
accepted by many provincial and state regulators. Historically, the
most common type of combustion has been flaring which is the
igniting of natural gas at the end of a long metal tube or flare
stack. This action causes the characteristic flame associated with
flaring.
Incineration is the mixing and combusting of
waste gas streams, air, and fuel in an enclosed chamber which are
mixed at a controlled rate and ignited so that no flame is visible
when operating properly. A correctly designed and operated
incinerator can yield higher combustion efficiencies through proper
mixing, gas composition, retention time, and combustion
temperature. Combustion efficiency, generally expressed as a
percentage, is represented by the amount of methane converted to
CO2, or H2S converted to SO2. The more converted, the better the
efficiency.
The Company designs, manufactures and services
proprietary high efficiency waste gas incineration systems. The
Company’s incineration product line is based on clean combustion
technology that was developed by the Company and initially patented
in both Canada and the United States in 1999. The Company has
continued to evolve the technology over the years making several
improvements from the original patent which expired in November
2019. The Company currently has five new pending patent
filings.
The Company’s highly specialized technical team
works with the client to understand the waste gas volume and
composition allowing it to determine the correct incineration
product specification to achieve 99.99 percent combustion
efficiency. The incinerators vary in size to accommodate small to
large amounts of gas handling ranging from 20 mcf/d to 5,000 mcf/d.
The incinerators also vary in automation and instrumentation
depending on the client’s requirements. The Company’s incinerators
are currently used in multiple segments of the energy
infrastructure industry including drilling, completions,
production, midstream, downstream, and transportation and
distribution.
The Company has three primary incinerator
related revenue streams: sales, rentals and services. Incinerator
services include hauling, commissioning, repairs, maintenance and
decommissioning. The Company’s current key incineration markets are
Colorado, North Dakota, Mexico, Pennsylvania, Texas, Alberta and
North East BC. The United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued regulations to reduce harmful air pollution arising
from crude oil and natural gas industry activities with a
particular focus on the efficient destruction of volatile organic
compounds (VOC’s) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP’s) and has
recently introduced methane emission reduction legislation. In
conjunction with EPA regulations, Colorado’s Regulation 7 mandates
the use of enclosed combustion (incinerators) and now targets
methane, resulting in a statewide focus on the responsible
management of potentially fugitive hydrocarbons. North Dakota also
has additional requirements that reflect some of the unique and
specific needs that extend beyond the EPA’s requirements.
Pennsylvania is proposing legislation that will limit VOC emissions
to 1.7t/year and 200t/year of methane per site, necessitating the
need for highly efficient combustion equipment to deal with waste
and fugitive gas emissions. California has banned open flaring by
2021. Other US states are working on enhancing regulations that
deal with waste gas emissions. Mexico set a target to reduce
methane emissions by 75 percent by 2025 creating an opportunity for
the Company to eliminate the venting of methane through our clean
combustion technology. Over 90 percent of the Company’s incinerator
rental fleet is in Colorado and North Dakota where regulation
supports demand for its proprietary high efficiency waste gas
incineration systems.
The Company services its key markets with field
locations in Brighton and Fort Lupton, Colorado; Watford City,
North Dakota and Grande Prairie, Alberta. The infrastructure at the
field locations consist of field and maintenance technicians and
technical sales staff. The facilities generally include, office
space, maintenance shop and storage yard. We also have a sales
presence in Texas and Pennsylvania. Personnel based out of
Company’s head office in Calgary, Alberta include Officers of the
Corporation, management, engineering, technical sales, accounting
and administration.
