C(i RATA From Wes Po t v' o
Subject: Hamilton Energy Corporation
The staff has reviewed the proposal from Hamilton Energy Corporation to process
Ethylene Glycol water mixture in Weld County. It is my understanding that the
process involves handling a mixture of water and glycol that is recovered from
de-icing of airplanes and distilled to reconstitute the ethylene glycol in a
usable fashion. This process is conducted through a standard oil field heater-
treater and would be sited at an existing gas processing facility in Weld County.
This process seems to be compatible with the existing natural gas processing
operations as they exist in Weld County. If this operation is conducted in
conjunction with an existing facility, the staff does not find that this would
be a significant departure from a normally defined gas processing operation. The
applicant should be advised to provide documentation with regard to the total
volumes of materials to be handled and any emissions which may be produced in the
operation. The applicant should also submit a letter from the State Air
Pollution Control Division certifying that there is not a need for an additional
air pollution emissions permit. The applicant should request permission to
develop this process with an existing facility, and the Division would request
an opportunity to review the final proposal as submitted to the Department of
Planning Services prior to formal approval from Weld County.

Subject:
I have reviewed the letter dated August 7, 1991 by J.M. Hamilton regarding
collecting and concentrating de-icing fluids at their existing natural gas
processing plant.
Since this proposal would add one 5,000 to 7,000 gallon truck per day, there
will be no significant impact on Weld County roads. Also, if the distillation
unit and associated tanks are contained within a perimeter dike, there will be
no impact on drainage.

RE: Proposed Ethylene Glycol Reconcentration Project
Space City Plant Site, Weld County, Colorado
Dear Jim:
For the benefit of any concerned third parties, the referenced project involves a process that is
completely consistent with our normal operations. In any of our plants or remote compressor
stations where the dehydration of gas is accomplished, we consider the reconcentration of the
glycol used for this purpose to be perhaps the simplest and least hazardous of our functions.
Should you require any additional information or confirmation, please do not hesitate to contact
us accordingly.
Very truly yours,
VESSELS GAS PROCESSING,LTD.

Weld County Planning
Mr. Keith Schuett
915 10th St . Room 342
Greeley, Co. 80631
Dear Mr Schuett :
Pursuant to our conversations, this letter is to furnish
information to you concerning a proposed land use within Weld
County. The proposed site is an existing natural gas processing
plant located at NE1 /4 Sec 31 T1N R65W Weld County.
Hamilton Energy Corp. and its partner , Silco Distributing of
Denver have formed a joint venture for the purpose of collecting
and concentrating the de- icing fluids from the Denver Stapleton
Airport . The collection facilities are in place and operating for
the last year of more.
The second phase of the operation is to install our own
concentration facilities to produce a concentrated ethylene
glycol /water mixture. Fig. 1 is a flow sheet of the distillation
unit , which uses existing technology, an oil field heater
treater, modified slightly to perform the distillation process.
Referring to Fig. 1 , the product feed is pumped at low pressure
( less than 15 psig) through heat exchangers to the heater treater
where heat is applied to drive off the water. Concentrated glycol
flows from the bottom of the heater treater through heatexchange
to storage. Overhead steam is directed through heat exchange to
condense the effluent water stream and is collected in storage,
to be returned to the airport de- icing pond.
The unit is designed for a throughput of 5000 to 7500 gallons per
day based on a feed composition of 15 to 25% ethylene glycol and
85 to 75% water . (Approximately one truck load per day )
Fig. 2 shows a proposed unit layout with feed and product tankage
along with the treater unit .
It is our intention to locate this unit at the site of existing
natural gas processing plant for the following reasons :
A. A reasonable supply of natural gas fuel (25 to 50 MCFD
required) .
B. Normal gas processing operations are consistent with this
process. (The dehydration of natural gas is commonly done
using ethylene glycol to absorb the water from the gas
and the glycol reconcentrated by boiling the absorbed
water ) .
C. Most of the necessary offsites and infrastructure is in
place.
From my conversations with various planning and environmental
persons it seems that this operation does not fit in the standard
processes you are used to dealing with on a specific basis,
mainly because this operation is incorporated in a total plant
precess or falls under oil and gas production equipment
classifications .
From my investigations the regulations define this material and
process as non hazardous , the material is bio-degradable, and the
unit will be exempt from air quality emissions (products of
combustion ) because of its small size.
Once you have had a chance to review this letter I would like to
meet with you to discuss any questions you might have.
Sincerely,
H milton E ergy C .
