Abstract
An antifreeze pump system for an oil or natural gas well includes an antifreeze pump with an inlet port for compressed natural gas which is used to drive the pump to pump antifreeze. A natural gas reclaimer receives natural gas from the antifreeze pump and includes a conditioner to remove contaminants from the natural gas from the antifreeze pump so the gas can be reused. A fluid containment reservoir is associated with the natural gas reclaimer and positioned to receive leaking fluids from the antifreeze pump.
Claims5
A natural gas reclaimer and antifreeze containment system for an oil or natural gas well;
- comprising:
- a) a base plate;
- b) a perimeter wall extending upward from the base plate and forming reservoir with the base plate;
- c) a top plate coupled to an upper portion of the perimeter wall and having a plurality of apertures therethrough;
- d) a mounting bracket disposed above the top plate;
- and
- e) an antifreeze pump disposed on the mounting bracket such that fluid from the antifreeze pump is contained in the reservoir.
An antifreeze pump system for an oil or natural gas well;
- comprising:
- a) an antifreeze pump, including:
- i) an inlet port for receiving compressed natural gas from the well;
- ii) an outlet port for releasing compressed natural gas from the pump;
- and
- b) a natural gas reclaimer, including:
- i) an inlet port for receiving compressed natural gas from the outlet port of the antifreeze pump;
- ii) a conditioner fluidly coupled to the inlet port of the reclaimer to remove contaminants from the natural gas received by the inlet port;
- and
- c) a fluid containment reservoir associated with the natural gas reclaimer and positioned to receive leaking fluids from the antifreeze pump.
