Hey guys, quick question. I've got a number of gas wells, (175+) and access to a butt load of free (or really, really inexpensive) ng, however the gas is about 20% too "hot" at 1224.6 btu/scf. Now, I'd like get by using it with minimal treatment, as propane and ethane rejection plants are pricey to say the least ($80,000.00+). So, I was wondering, how "HOT" can your gas be and still be safe to use in a motor? And, in lieu of de-propanizing the gas, could I just introduce some quantity of non-combustible to the gas, like n2, to reduce the btu's to bring it closer to 1025?
Oh, keep in mind, these are converted Diesel engines, not gasoline retrofits or dedicated. So, I presume, the Diesel mode of combustion makes these things more sensitive to higher btu gas, right? So, what do I do?
