RE: Building Permit Applications for Concrete Equipment Foundations at
Grover Compressor Station (USR-1703) and Lilli Gas Plant (USR-861)
Dear Mr. Ogle:
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. is respectfully submitting the Building Permit Applications
for the concrete equipment foundations at the Grover Compressor Station (USR -1703) and the
Lilli Gas Plant (USR-861) for your review. Per my conversation with you and Mr. Thomas
Honn earlier this month, PCR is anticipating approval to construct the concrete foundations once
the Grading Permit and Building Permit applications have been approved. The Grading Permit
Applications for both projects have been submitted to Weld County Planning. PCR understands
that the application for the Grover Compressor Station will not be approved until after USR-1703
has been approved in September 2009. We request that the information be reviewed in an
expedited manner so that PCR may proceed with the foundation construction, which we
understand is at our "own risk" at the Lilli Gas Plant.
The following documentation has been attached for your review:
• Building Permit Applications
o Grover Inlet Slug Bottle Foundation
o T-171 Amine Contactor Foundation — Lilli Gas Plant
o T-172 Amine Stripper Foundation — Lilli Gas Plant
o Amine Reboiler Skid Foundation — Lilli Gas Plant
• Building Permit Application Fees for each application (4)
• Copy of the Applications for Fire Department Notification Approval
Please feel free to contact me at 303-350-1171 or sherri.robbins@petro-canada.com should you
have additional questions or require additional information. Thank you for your time.

RE: REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT EQUIPMENT FOUNDATIONS
LILLI GAS PLANT USR — 861
Dear Mr. Honn:
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. (PCR) purchased the assets of Walsh Production, Inc. on
December 3, 2008 and plans to upgrade the equipment at the facility during 2009-2010.
PCR is respectfully requesting permission to begin construction of concrete equipment
foundations for the planned upgrades at the Lilli Gas Plant, which is located north of New
Raymer, CO. The request is being made as the construction of the concrete equipment
foundations will not change the land use described in USR-861. PCR understands that
moving forward with the concrete equipment foundations would be "at our own risk" until
the amended USR has been approved. PCR plans to submit an amended USR application on
Thursday, July 2, 2009 which will detail all plans of the upgrade.
Baumberger & Associates has been working with PCR on the project and provides the following
information about the foundations, which are required for each of the proposed equipment,
which is shown on the attached plot plan:
• Equipment skids:
o 12' wide x 40' long.
o Foundations are concrete matts with pedestals at skid steel crossmembers.
• Air coolers:
o Foundations are matts with pedestals at the legs of the cooler or drilled piers.
• Vessels:
o The foundations may be matt and pedestal or mono slab.
• Pipe rack:
o The foundations are 24" drilled piers.
The foundation drawings are being developed therefore they are unavailable for submittal for
your review. These concrete foundations are for the equipment only and not for any buildings.
PCR is asking for an expedited approval for the foundation construction so that the construction
may begin as soon as possible in order to avoid delays caused by weather.

The plant upgrade plans do require the construction of two buildings and the building permit
applications will be submitted in the near future.
Please find attached a copy of the site plan that illustrates the location of the existing equipment
as well as the proposed equipment location. The site plan shows the existing stormwater
retention ponds as well. In addition to the site plan, please find attached copies of the
Preliminary Drainage Report, a Road Access Map, a copy of the Water Well Permit and the
Surface Use Agreement that PCR has in place with the landowner, Mr. Bringelson.
PCR is also asking that the Lilli Gas Plant USR (amended) be reviewed on the same schedule as
our recently submitted USR for the Grover Compressor Station. Jacqueline Hatch-Drouillard
has been assisting PCR with the Grover Compressor Station USR which was submitted on June
2, 2009 to the Longmont office.
PCR staff is available at any time to discuss this request with you and to address any questions or
concerns that you may have regarding the project. Should you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to contact me at 303-350-1171 (office), 303-549-7684 (cell) or at
sherri.robbins@petro-canada.com. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look
forward to receiving approval to move forward with the project.

SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR
application. If a question does not pertain to your use, please respond with "not
applicable", with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable.
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. (PCR) is submitting this
Amendment to Use by Special Review Permit application to the Weld
County Department of Planning Services for upgrade/renovation of the
Lilli Gas Processing Facility located in SW/4 Section 4 T8N R58W.
PCR obtained the assets at the Lilli Gas Plant in December 2008 from
Walsh Production, Inc. PCR intends to drill and complete additional
wells in the area. To accommodate the expected increase in gas
production, the plant will be upgraded from its existing capacity of 6
MMCFD to a total capacity of 21 MMCFD. The purpose of the
upgraded plant will be to recover Natural Gas Liquids (NGL's) and
process the gas for sales.
USR-861 was approved in 1989 by Red Wave. LTD. The existing
plant was installed in 1996 after being relocated from the Aristocrat
Field in Weld County, CO.
PCR has an existing surface easement agreement for the property
underlying the Lilli Gas Plant. The original agreement was executed in
1995.
The existing Plant is a refrigerated, JT plant with a 6 MMCFD capacity.
The plant was originally built by Tidewater for Aristocrat Field and
relocated to the Lilli site in 1996. The plant utilizes propane
refrigeration to cool the gas prior to expansion across a JT (Joule
Thompson) valve to further cool the gas and condense liquefiable
hydrocarbon components. The liquefied hydrocarbons are stabilized in
a Product Stabilizer tower to produce Natural Gas Liquids (NGL's)
which are stored in high pressure propane storage tanks for sale by
truck. Residue gas is compressed and re -injected into the Lilli
reservoir as part of the Lilli field gas cycling project. A detailed
discussion of the process (Tidewater and Ortloff Engineers) is included
in the noted attachments.
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. 1 Lilli Gas Plant
•
•
•
PCR intends to increase the plant capacity to 21 MMCFD by adding a
15 MMCFD capacity cryogenic processing plant. Like the JT plant, the
cryogenic plant will use propane refrigeration to cool the gas before
expansion. However, the cryogenic plant will use an expander instead
of a JT valve. The expander allows the process to capture part of the
work generated by the pressure drop and allows greater cooling
compared to the JT valve. With lower temperature, more liquefiable
hydrocarbons are recovered.
The upgraded facility will include a new computer based process
control system that will be capable of shutting down the facility in the
event of potentially unsafe operating conditions.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of Weld
County Code, Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan.
This application has been compiled in accordance with the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance dated December 1, 1999 and the Weld
County Comprehensive Plan dated March 25, 1999. The proposed
compressor station plan conforms to many of the goals and policies
outlined in Weld County's Comprehensive Plan:
• No net loss of productive agricultural land
• No impact on irrigated agricultural land
• Enhanced recovery of the County's oil and gas natural
resources
• Installation of facilities consistent with adjoining oil and gas
activities.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld
County Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it
is located.
The Lilli Gas Plant site is in the SW/4 of Section 4 T8N R58W,
approximately 5 miles northwest of New Raymer, Colorado. The gas
plant is located on property that is zoned for agricultural use. The plant
has no impact on agricultural land.
4. What type of uses surround the site (explain how the proposed
use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land use).
The Lilli Gas Plant is located in the SW/4 of Section 4 T8N R58W,
approximately 5 miles northwest of New Raymer, Colorado. The
property is zoned for agricultural use. The station will have no impact
on agricultural land.
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. 2 Lilli Gas Plant
•

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc.
Amendment to USR-861
Lilli Gas Plant
Petro -Canada Resources (USA) Inc. (PCR) is submitting this Amendment to Use by
Special Review permit (USR-861) with updated data to Weld County Department of
Planning Services describing its existing and planned operations for the Lilli Gas
Processing Plant ("Plant"). The Lilli plant is located in the SW/4 of Section 4, Township 8
North, Range 58 West and is approximately 5 miles northwest of the town of New Raymer,
Colorado. The plant is owned and operated by PCR.
PCR has an existing Surface Easement and Use Agreement dated 10/25/1995 for the
property underlying the proposed processing plant. A copy is attached.
The plant will process a maximum of 21,000,000 cubic of feet of natural gas per day (21
MMCFD).
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PCR purchased Walsh Production Company effective December 3, 2008. PCR intends
to drill and complete additional wells in the area. To accommodate the expected
increase in gas production, the Plant will be upgraded from its existing capacity of 6
MMCFD to a total capacity of 21 MMCFD. The purpose of the upgraded plant will be to
recover Natural Gas Liquids (NGL's), and process the gas for sales.
The proposed upgrades will include the following and associated equipment:
- Amine Gas Treating to Remove Carbon Dioxide
➢ Molecular Sieve Dehydration
➢ Propane Refrigeration
➢ Cryogenic Expander Gas Processing
A facility plot plan is included in the attachments.
2.1 LILLI GAS PROCESSING PLANT LOCATION
The Plant is located in SW/4 of Section 4 T8N R58W, approximately 5 miles northwest
of New Raymer, Colorado. Adjoining land to the site is used for grazing, limited
agricultural development and oil and gas production.
• •
•
•
•
The existing plant was installed in 1996 after being relocated from the Aristocrat Field in
Weld County, Colorado.
2.2 SURFACE WATER FEATURES
The nearest surface water feature in the area is an un-named stream 187' west of the
plant. According to the flood plain maps maintained by the Weld County Department of
Planning Services and maps published by the USGS (McCain and Hotchkiss, 1975),
the proposed site does not occur within a flood hazard area. PCR will prepare a
Stormwater Management Plan and obtain a permit from the Colorado Department of
Public Health prior to the start of construction.
2.3 AIR EMISSION PERMITS
PCR has Air Permits for the equipment operating at the plant and has applied for Air
Permits for the upgrade. A copy of the applications for upgrade are attached.
3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The existing Plant is a refrigerated, JT plant with a 6 MMCFD capacity. The plant was
originally built by Tidewater for Aristocrat Field and relocated to the Lilli site in 1996.
The plant utilizes propane refrigeration to cool the gas prior to expansion across a JT
(Joule Thompson) valve to further cool the gas and condense liquefiable hydrocarbon
components. The liquefied hydrocarbons are stabilized in a Product Stabilizer tower to
produce Natural Gas Liquids (NGL's) which are stored in high pressure propane
storage tanks for sale by truck. Residue gas is compressed and re -injected into the Lilli
reservoir as part of the Lilli field gas cycling project. A detailed discussion of the
process (Tidewater and Ortloff Engineers) is included in the noted attachments.
PCR intends to increase the plant capacity to 21 MMCFD by adding a 15 MMCFD
capacity cryogenic processing plant. Like the JT plant, the cryogenic plant will use
propane refrigeration to cool the gas before expansion. However, the cryogenic plant
will use an expander instead of a JT valve. The expander allows the process to capture
part of the work generated by the pressure drop and allows greater cooling compared to
the JT valve. With lower temperature, more liquefiable hydrocarbons are recovered.
The upgraded facility will include a new computer based process control system that
will be capable of shutting down the facility in the event of potentially unsafe operating
conditions.

major equipment at the plant.
3.2 STATION UTILITIES
Morgan County REA provides electric service for the facility.
3.3 STATION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The nearest residences to the Plant are located approximately 4 miles south of the site.
The proposed upgrade will enhance the ultimate recovery of mineral resources.
There are no expected adverse impacts on historical, archaeological or scenic
resources.
• 3.4 STATION NOISE MITIGATION
There will be no incremental noise increase from the upgraded facilities.
4.0 STATION OPERATIONS
•
The plant operates 365 days per year, 24 hours per day. The existing plant and
proposed upgrades are designed to operate unattended; however personnel will be
onsite approximately 8-hrs per day, 5 -days a week.
4.1 EMERGENCY SHUT DOWN AND FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
An automated emergency shut down system will monitor operating conditions at the
plant and will shut down the plant in the event of an emergency. The upgraded facility
will include a new computer based process control system that will be capable of
shutting down the facility in the event of potentially unsafe operating conditions.
The process buildings will be equipped with fire detectors and combustible gas monitors
which will initiate an emergency station shutdown.

•
A callout system, operated on an un-interruptible power supply, will notify plant
operators of shutdowns and operational problems when the operators are not at the
facility.
PCR maintains written emergency notification procedures.
4.2 WASTE DISPOSAL
Normal waste will be disposed of utilizing commercial dumpster services. All waste is
properly disposed of.
Other waste from the facility will include:
1) Used compressor lube oil
2) Lube oil or hydrocarbon liquid contaminated rags
4.3 STATION SITE MAINTENANCE
PCR utilizes 3/4" roadbase on all areas of the site which are accessible by vehicles or
personnel in their routine operations. PCR controls noxious weeds by mowing or the
selected application of herbicides as necessary.
Vehicle traffic to and from the site is minimal. Operators visit the site during the week
and on callouts.

Overview:
Lilli Gas Processing Plant
9.71 +/- Acres
SW/4 Sec. 4 T8N R58W
The Lilli Gas Processing Plant will be located approximately 5 miles northwest
of New Raymer, Colorado. Access to the site is from Weld County Road 96.
The expansion of the Lilli Gas Processing Plant will accommodate the increase
in gas production for the additional wells drilled in the Grover Field area. The
expansion will include an amine gas treating system, a molecular sieve
dehydration unit, propane refrigeration equipment, cryogenic expander gas
processing skids, a Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) sales pipeline, and a new residue
gas sales pipeline. The existing facility is a propane refrigerated 1T process
(Joule Thompson) liquids gathering plant. The liquefied hydrocarbons that are
liberated from the gas through refrigeration are stored on site until loaded for
sales on to a truck.
Existing Conditions:
The proposed location is relatively flat. The adjoining land is used for grazing, limited agricultural
development, and oil and gas production.
Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV):
As prescribed by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District in the Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Manual, Volume 3, Section 4 a 40 -hour drainage time was used in the WQCV to
calculate the watershed inches required for the containment design volume (see Attachment 1)
Imperviousness:
Runoff coefficients published by the American Society of Civil Engineers have been used as the
basis of the imperviousness calculations in Attachment 1. As this facility is composed of multiple
elements a weighted average of the imperviousness was calculated for the WQCV calculations
(see Attachment 1).
Containment Sizing:
The containment structures that have been chosen are earthen catchment basins that are sized
to be of sufficient volume to contain the anticipated runoff from this site. Calculations of the
containment volume are included in Attachment 1.

Gas Subcooled Process (GSP) Technology
A. NGL Recovery Unit
Refer to the Process Row Diagram in Section V of this Process Design
Package while reviewing this description.
The process technology employed in the Lily Gas Processing Plant train is
Ortloffs proprietary Gas Subcooled Process (GSP) design.
This section is intended as an introduction to the process design with a
description of the function of the major equipment items. The process
control philosophy is covered separately in Section V of this Process Design
Package.
Ethane Recovery Mode
The "Design" feed composition of Section II (Basis of Design) process data
is used throughout this section of the process description when the plant is
operating at a 90+% (full ethane recovery) level.
Feed gas from the upstream Gas Dehydration and Filtration Units (by others)
flows through an inlet flow meter, where the inlet volume to the NGL
Recovery Unit is measured. This measured flow volume is used in the
control system to set flows elsewhere in the process. After the inlet flow
element, the gas splits into two streams. The first stream, about 23%
(volume of feed gas), is routed to the Demethanizer Reboiler (Ethane
Recovery Mode), E-10, where it provides reboil heat to the bottom of the
Demethanizer, C-01. The flow rate of this first stream is controlled by the
Demethanizer bottoms temperature, thereby controlling the bottoms liquid
methane content. After this, the stream is then routed to the Demethanizer
Lower Side Reboiler, E-11, where it is cooled by cross -exchange with liquids
from the Demethanizer bottoms.
The second stream, about 77% (volume of feed gas), is routed to the Feed
Gas / Residue Gas Exchanger, E-01, where it is cooled by cross exchange
with the cool residue sales gas. The feed gas splits provide the needed heat
input to the column and maximize cooling of the inlet gas.
After the feed gas leaves the exchangers, it recombines and flows to the Dry
Gas Chiller, E-04, a shell and tube exchanger ("kettle" type design), where it
is further cooled by external propane refrigeration before entering the Cold
Feed Gas Separator, V-01, where the vapors are separated from the
condensed liquids.

Project No. 730701
Lily Gas Processing Plant
NGL Recovery Unit
Gas Subcooled Process (GSP) Technology
The liquids from the Cold Feed Gas Separator, V-01, are flashed on level
control and routed to Demethanizer, C-01, at a lower mid -column feed
location.
The cool vapor from the Cold Feed Gas Separator, V-01, then flows to two
parallel exchangers. This cool vapor is divided so that about 82% (volume of
feed gas) feeds the Cold Feed Gas / Residue Gas Exchanger, E-02, and
about the remaining 18% (volume of inlet gas) feeds the Demethanizer
Upper Side Reboiler, E-12. The flow split is controlled to maximize cooling
of inlet gas while providing the needed heat input to Demethanizer, C-01.
Upon exiting these two exchangers, the cold inlet gas stream recombines
and enters the Expander Separator, V-02, where additional condensed liquid
is removed. The cold vapor leaving this vessel flow splits where the majority
of the gas stream, about 78% (volume of feed gas), flows to the turbo
expander end of the Turbo Expander / Recompressor, EC -01.
The liquids from the Expander Separator, V-02, are flashed on level control
and routed to Demethanizer, C-01, at an upper mid -column feed location.
The cold feed gas is partially condensed as it flows through the turbo
expander. The pressure of the gas is reduced by flowing through nozzles
that direct the gas flow onto the outer edges of a rotating wheel, where the
pressure is further reduced as it flows to the center of the wheel and out of
the unit. Work is produced by the forced rotation of this wheel which drives
the recompressor end of the Turbo Expander / Recompressor, EC -01. The
recompression process will be described later in the document. The two
phase stream exits the turbo expander and flows to the Demethanizer, C-01,
and enters at an upper mid -column feed location.
The remaining portion of the Expander Separator, V-02, cold vapor, about
22% (volume of feed gas), flows to the Demethanizer Subcooler, E-03,
where the cool vapor is completely condensed and subcooled by cross -
exchange with cold residue gas. The condensed stream then exits the
Demethanizer Subcooler, E-03, and is flash expanded to Demethanizer, C-
01, operating pressure and then fed as the top reflux to the Demethanizer,
C-01.
The condensed and subcooled stream from Demethanizer Subcooler, E-03,
provides the top reflux to the rectification section of Demethanizer, C-01. In
the Demethanizer, a combination of the ethane in the vapor portion of the
turbo expander outlet stream and in the vapors rising from the tray below the
turbo expander feed are contacted by the cold top reflux stream in the
packing above the turbo expander feed. As a result, much of the remaining
ethane is condensed and thus recovered.

Lily Gas Processing Plant

Gas Subcooled Process (GSP) Technology
Because the portion of Expander Separator, V-02, cold vapor stream used
as the top reflux contains propane and ethane, some equilibrium losses of
propane and ethane are expected at this top column feed point.
Within the Demethanizer, C-01, the vapors flowing up the column are
partially condensed and rectified by the two reflux streams feeding the top
section of the column. This creates a downward flow of ethane and heavier
hydrocarbons toward the bottom of the column. Meanwhile, in the lower
section of the column, the Demethanizer Upper Side Reboiler, E-12, and
Demethanizer Lower Side Reboiler, E-11, and Demethanizer Reboiler
(Ethane Recovery Mode), E-10, are partially vaporizing the liquids.
The resulting vapors from the Demethanizer reboilers flow up the column,
thereby stripping the methane and lighter components from the hydrocarbon
liquids flowing downward through the column. Sufficient vapors must be
generated to provide a Demethanizer bottoms liquid stream that will meet the
methane content specification.
Sufficient heat is provided by the Demethanizer Reboiler (Ethane Recovery
Mode), E-10, to keep the methane / ethane ratio of the NGL product below
2.0% on a mass basis for the maximum ethane recovery mode operation.
The actual methane / ethane ratio is determined using the bottoms
chromatograph.
The liquid from the bottom of Demethanizer, C-01, is the NGL Product from
the plant. It flows from the bottom of the Demethanizer, C-01, to battery
limits where it is then boosted and routed to the pipeline (by others).
From the overhead of Demethanizer, C-01, the cold residue gas stream
provides cooling to various streams in the plant through heat exchangers as
it warms up before exiting the plant. The "warm" side of these exchangers
has been described above. The "cold" side of these exchangers is residue
gas in all cases. The Demethanizer, C-01, cold overhead residue gas
stream flows successively through the Demethanizer Subcooler, E-03, the
Cold Feed Gas / Residue Gas Exchanger, E-02, and the Feed Gas /
Residue Gas Exchanger, E-01. After exiting the Feed Gas / Residue Gas
Exchanger, E-01, the warm residue gas is routed to the recompressor end of
the Turbo Expander / Recompressor, E-01, where it is boosted in pressure.
After being compressed in the recompressor, the residue gas flows to
battery limits, before flowing to the Residue Gas Compressor System (by
others).

I. DISCUSSION OF PLANT DESIGN AND OPERATION
This discussion will cover design and operation of the
5 MMSCF/D unit for application at the Aristocrat Gas
Products Company, Platteville, Colorado site.
A. INLET GAS CHILLING & SEPARATION (fig. 1)
The inlet gas first flows into the Inlet Separator
(V-101) where any compressor oil is removed. The
inlet gas then flows into the Gas/Gas Exchanger
(E-101 A&B) where it is cooled to 55 Deg.F, by an
exchanger with the cold -50 Deg.F. residue gas.
The inlet gas then flows through the gas chiller
(E-102) where it is cooled even further to -35 F.
by the refrigeration system, which is discussed in
Section D. Lean glycol from the glycol system
(see Section C.) is sprayed on the tubesheets of
both the gas/gas exchanger (E-101 A & B) and the
gas chiller (E.-102) to prevent hydrate formation
and freezing. Ethylene glycol is the same anti-
freeze you use in your car. It absorbs water and
prevents ice formation. By now the inlet gas has
cooled enough to turn some of it to a liquid. The
glycol is heavier than the liquid hydrocarbons
and is separated from the liquid hydrocarbons in
the glycol separator (V-102) by using an interface
level controller. The glycol is returned to the
glycol system where the water absorbed from the
inlet gas is removed in the glycol regenerator
(see Section C). The glycol is then used again to
remove water from the inlet gas stream. The inlet
stream is then heat exchanged with the cold liquid
product (in E-104) and cooled to -61 Deg.F. The
inlet stream then goes through the JT expansion
valve where the pressure is dropped from 840 to
270 PSIG. This cools the gas to -112 Deg.F. The
inlet hydrocarbon gas and liquid flow into the
cold flash tank (V-103) where the liquid
hydrocarbon is separated from the gaseous
hydrocarbon. Any hydrocarbon which is still
gaseous at this temperature and pressure is
removed from the process at this point as residue
gas. The liquid is heat exchanged with the inlet
in E-104, and then moves on to the next section of
the plant, the product stabilizer, to adjust the
composition of the product to the desired product
specification.

P. PRODUCT STABILIZER (fig. 2)
product is fed into the product stabilizer(V-104)
from the cold liquids exchanger (E-104) at -45 F.
The liquid then falls towards the bottom of the
stabilizer which is heated by the reboiler (E-105)
to 170 F. The cold falling liquid is contacted by
the hot gas rising from the rehoiler through the
packing in the stabilizer tower. This strips the
light hydrocarbons from the liquid product as it
falls through the column. The light hydrocarbon
gas which is mostly methane, moves up the tower
through the packing just as the liquid did on the
way down. This gas is cooled to -31 F as it rises
through the column It is then further cooled at
the top of the tower by the stabilizer
condenser (E-112) to the temperature of -49 F.
This condenses any of the heavier hydrocarbons
that may have been vaporized by the reboiler buck
into liquid which falls through the tower to be
rebelled again. This process goes on over and over
which fine tunes the product to the proper
specification. The type of product the plant makes
is determined by the temperatures and pressures at
which the stabilizer tower is operated. For this
reason, the temperature and pressures of this
tower should always he closely monitored to insure
that the tower is operating as close to the design
parameters as possible.
C. GLYCOL INJECTION SYSTEM (fig. 3)
The glycol injection system removes water from the
inlet gas stream and thereby prevents the unit
from freezing up during operation. This is done by
spraying an 80% ethylene glycol solution into the
gas stream. This "lean" glycol solution mixes with
any water in the gas stream, thus diluting the
glycol strength to about 74%. This is called
"rich" glycol as its strength has been diluted by
the absorbed water. The rich glycol mixture then
flows with the gas (see fig•1) to the glycol
separator (V-102) where it sinks to the bottom of
the hoot because it is much heavier than the
liquid hydrocarbon. The rich glycol mixture (74%)
at -35 F. is exchanged with the hot lean glycol
(80%) at 245 Deg. F. which is being pumped out of
the glycol regenerator (M-201). This heats it hack
up to 180 F before returning it to the glycol
regenerator to he heated to 245 F. Please look at
the table for freezing points of ethylene glycol

in the appendix (page 32) and note that a
,Loncentration of 70% has a freezing point of about
-50 F. If the concentration is increased or
decreased from 70% the freezing point increases.
If the freezing point goes above -35 F. the plant
will freeze up. It is therefore absolutely
critical that the temperature of the ethylene
glycol in the glycol regenerator be kept at 245 F.
If you look at the table for hoiling points of
aqueous ethylene glycol solutions (Appendix, page
33) you will note that the concentration is about
80% at 245 F. (sea level). There are two glycol
injection pumps supplied with this plant P-201 A
B. Please note that only one is required for
operation; the other pump is a spare.
D. PROPANE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM (fig. 4)
The propane refrigeration system drives the gas
chiller (E-10'2) and chills the inlet gas from 55
F. to -35 F. The gas chiller (E-102) operates
about half full with liquid propane at 16 PSIA and
-40 F. This level is controlled by the level
controller on the chiller. The warm inlet gas at
55 deg flows through the tubes in the gas chiller
and transfers heat to the propane in the chiller.
This vaporizes some of the propane. The
refrigeration compressor removes these vapors from
the gas chiller and maintains a pressure rof 16
PSIA on the vessel. The propane vapor is then
compressed- by the compressor to a superheated
vapor (245 PSIA @ 187 F). The superheated vapor
then enters the propane condenser (E-10/) where it
is condensed to a liquid by being cooled to 120 F.
The liquid propane flows through the surge tank
(V-401) to the flash economizer (V-40) level
control valve where the pressure is dropped to 66
PSIA which cools the propane to 20 F. This
vaporizes some of the propane so that the fluid
entering the flash economizer (V-402) is part
liquid and part vapor. The vapor portion is routed
to the second stage suction of the refrigeration
compressor and the liquid portion continues on to
the gas chiller (E-102) level control valve where
it takes still another pressure drop to 16 PSIA
and a temperature drop to -40 F. This loop is
repeated as the propane is circulated through the
system by the refrigeration compressor.

E. 4THANOL INJECTION SYSTEM (fig. 5)
Methanol is injected into the gas stream to
prevent freeze up in the cold section of the plant
just like the glycol did at the front end of the
plant. Methanol is pumped from the 55 gallon
storage drum by either one of the methanol
pumps, P-104 A & B (one pump is a spare), into
two spray nozzles, one located on the E-104
tubesheet and one located downstream of E-104.
These spray nozzles may be back -flushed in the
seine manner the glycol spray nozzles are back -
flushed (see Section II -F, page 28 Operation of
Glycol Injection System). The methanol injection
pumps are metering pumps and may be set anywhere
between 10-110 gallons per day.
F. FUEL GAS/INSTRUMENT GAS SYSTEM (fig. 6)
Fuel gas is taken from the residue gas line after
the gas/gas exchanger (E-101) at 110 F and 255
psig. The fuel gas pressure is dropped to 150
FSIG at the main fuel gas regulator (PCV-504).
Fuel gas then passes through the fuel gas scrubber
(V-50'2) and is distributed to the compressors and
the glycol regenerator. Fuel gas pressure to the
glycol regenerator is controlled by PCV-202 to 25
PSIG. The ignition system is electric on the
glycol regenerator burners. A fire —eye safety
system has been provided on the burner controls.
It will function to shut off the fuel gas to the
pilot and the main burner should the flame go out
for any reason. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
THIS SAFETY SYSTEM BE BYPASSED OR ALTERED. See
Section II -E on operation of the glycol
regenerator for instructions on lighting the
pilot.

Dear Landowner or Tenant:
Periodically we must review landowner and tenant records for accuracy. We use this
information to contact you for missile cable right-of-way matters, or other issues that will affect
you. Just as important, it makes it easier for you to contact us with any problems or questions
you may have about the missile cables or sites. Enclosed Is a questionnaire and return envelope
that will help us verify our records and make changes if needed.
Our toll -free number is 1-877-367-9079, and we are the "Option 4" on the voicemail
menu. Our direct office number is (307) 773-2700. If we are not available, both numbers have
messaging service.
You may have heard of the deactivation of the Peacekeeper system This will take several
years to accomplish, and we will still maintain all the cables until final deactivation. The
Minuteman, which is the bulk of our fleet, will continue to stand guard. These missiles and the
cables that connect them are part of our military readiness that we must maintain to protect our
freedom from foreign aggressors. The loss of a cable, even for a short time, is serious. That is
why we request this office be contacted whenever you are planning any digging or
construction over or near the missile cable.
For most work, this is easily done; call our toll -free number to schedule a Cable Monitor
Team or use your state's one -call number, probably included in your telephone or electric bill.
We are members for all three states. Some work, like building construction, will require more
detailed information and we should be notified earlier than usual in your planning to avoid later
conflicts. Before work begins, the Cable Monitor Team must mark the cable location, and be
present for actual digging near the cable.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support regarding the missile cable
easements, and for your assistance in completing and returning our questionnaire.
Sincerely,
DANIEL A NAGEL, TSgt, USAF
