Rangeland performed the detailed design of the high-rate injection storage cavern piping, system hydraulics and upgrade of cavern NGL and string piping.
Redwater Ethylene Injection Site Project focused on cavern storage of ethylene, including product compression, storage and drying. The facility receives up to 55,000 kg of ethylene per hour and injects it into underground salt caverns via two Dresser-Rand reciprocating compressors.
Rangeland scope of services include detailed engineering, procurement, commissioning and project management, modular design and material management25px. Ethylene Mole Sieve Skid
Capacity 50,000 Kg / Hr for removal of H2O moisture to < 10 ppm. Facilities included two mole sieve vessels, regen system, filters and metering.
Rangeland deliverables included detailed engineering, switching logic, procurement, commissioning and project management, modular design and material management. Storage Caverns & Wellhead Over 100 cavern designs and 50 surface facilities.

FSK Terminal Expansion of an existing NGL salt storage and processing facility to store propane and butane in new salt caverns and design of a grassroots truck-loading terminal
Rangeland provided detail engineering design and equipment specification including process, mechanical, civil, electrical, instrumentation, controls. C3+ NGL Fractionation Facility –55 MBPD The facility will produce C3, C4 and C5+ spec products and will be integrated into the existing 73 MBPD facility.
Facilities include de-propanizer, de-butanizer, mole sieve, Mercaptan Oxidization (UOP Merox), salt cavern storage, high pressure and capacity injection pumps, custody metering and delivery to rail, truck and pipelines.
Cynthia Gas Plant Power Generation
The plant will produce power for consumption at and supplement the local
power grid when facility demand is low. Facility design included: generator
building complete with safety systems, HVAC and maintenance access, Siemens
SGT400 (12.9 MW) gas turbine generator with auxiliaries, outdoor turbine
generator auxiliary systems including inlet air, exhaust, and oil cooling system,
instrument air and fuel gas conditioning systems and outdoor O/H 25kV fused
disconnect and riser pole
RFS 2 & 3 Cogeneration – Heat Integration
Cogeneration system to utilize waste heat from the gas turbines to supplement
current capacity an existing fractionation plant. Running both facilities with a
turndown heat load from HRU required modification to the heat medium routing to
both RFSII and RFS3 heat medium piping, and additional complex control loops.

Design overview and professional responsibility for the architectural, structural,
mechanical, electrical, fire & gas detection, and telecommunications for nine modular
Medium Voltage E-houses engineered by Siemens in Singapore and constructed by
Siemens in Indonesia for the LNG Canada project in Kitimat, BC. Rangeland
deliverables included site visits to Singapore, project preliminary schedule, multidisciplinary
authentication of BC Building Code Schedules, and P.Eng. Authentication.
Eavor-LoopTM Demo Project
This innovative project received federal funding that went toward construction of
this demonstration facility. The facility will support ongoing research and
development for geothermal energy. Project involved the drilling of two
multilateral horizontal wells which will intercept each other to generate a large Utube
shaped well and construct an interconnecting pipeline.
