Integration Options In(From other units, byproducts shared offsites, utility island)
Export Options Out(To byproducts, shared offsites, utility island)
Other
Technology Options• Ammonia plant can take rich gas if no
NGL export available• CO2Power can take raw gas with CO2,
H2S, N2, CO2 (from EGR or ECBM), NGLs• Possible byproduct minerals (e.g., rare
earths) from produced water• Economy of scale for regional hub
storage and logistics for ethane (and other NGLs)
• If there is excess cold, steam or power, it may justify NGL fractionator depending on local markets.

Heat to desalinate water
Technology Options• CO2/brine mix for saline aquifers• Produce brine and re-inject with CO2• Huge synergy with CO2Power• Inject heat into NP cycle• Utilize ‘dirty’ methane (including H2S and
CO2.• Power into ASU complex• Byproducts possible – Li, Rare Earths• Skim clean water from brine using heat
