In 2020, a Midstream distribution company (“Client”), with nearly 10,000 miles of pipelines and over 50 terminals for refined petroleum products, approached Halker Consulting (”Halker”) for a phased project at their condensate splitter facility to increase profitability.

Conversion of Biomass Waste to Jet Fuel

Bulk woodchip biomass being loaded into a transport trailer at an industrial facility, highlighting Halker’s renewable energy engineering expertise in biomass handling, waste-to-fuel conversion, and sustainable jet fuel production processes.

Our client owns a process to convert carbon containing feedstock into syngas. This specific technology was selected for application at a Biofuels project in Lakeview, Oregon, which was designed to convert waste woody biomass into renewable jet and diesel fuels.

Fugitive Emissions Study

2D piping model with highlighted red lines showing emission pathways between storage tanks, illustrating Halker’s expertise in conducting detailed fugitive emissions studies for regulatory compliance and operational risk reduction.

The client needed to reduce or eliminate fugitive emissions from over 50 existing upstream production facilities in order to meet 40 CFR 60 OOOOa requirements with an aggressive schedule. The fugitive emission sources were both oil and water storage tanks on site.

Full-Field Development
