The Direct Methane Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (DM-SOFC) is a major product that Spartan Controls Ltd. (SC) is offering to Canadian oil sands producers and conventional oil and gas operators to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted at their operations across Western Canada. Produced reservoir gas is converted into useful electricity to provide backup power at well pads in the range of 200-1500 MW. In order to integrate the SOFC technology at well pads, an oil production emission capture and conditioning system, as well as a vent emission and conditioning system, must be designed and incorporated into a complete package that is ready for the commercial market. These systems will be designed in partnership with SAIT-ARIS****SOFC technology is based on an electrochemical process that more efficiently delivers usable electrical energy for the same amount of fuel compared with an equivalently-sized internal combustion engine (ICE) power generator. A key advantage of SOFCs over ICEs is that they do not generate NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) or SOx (Sulfur Oxides) emissions. The electrochemical process will emit small amounts of water vapour and CO2 that will be captured separately from the vent gas. The power generated by the SOFC is captured in novel lithium-based energy storage systems (ESS). Another advantage of the Atrex Energy's SOFC vs. comparable fuel cells is that they employ "tubular" fuel cells versus traditional "stacked" style technology. This advantage reduces maintenance time, overall size and component cost, a distinct advantage to oil and gas operators who are somewhat unfamiliar with renewable power generation devices. This applied research project will entail incorporating the design of the complete DM-SOFC package developed in Phase 1 and field testing the system, including the inlet and venting gas conditioning systems developed by SAIT-ARIS in partnership with SC. ********************

直接甲烷固体氧化物燃料电池（DM-SOFC）是斯巴达控制有限公司（SC）向加拿大油砂生产商和常规油气运营商提供的一款主要产品，用于减少加拿大西部油田的温室气体（GHG）排放。产出的储层气被转化为有用的电力，为200-1500兆瓦的井台提供备用电力。为了将SOFC技术整合到井台上，必须设计一个采油排放捕获和调节系统，以及一个排气口排放和调节系统，并将其整合到一个完整的套件中，为商业市场做好准备。这些系统将与SAIT-ARIS合作设计****SOFC技术基于电化学过程，与同等尺寸的内燃机（ICE）发电机相比，可以更有效地为相同数量的燃料提供可用的电能。sofc相对于ice的一个关键优势是它们不会产生NOx（氮氧化物）或SOx（硫氧化物）排放。电化学过程将释放出少量的水蒸气和二氧化碳，这些水蒸气和二氧化碳将与排放气体分开捕获。SOFC产生的电力被新型锂基储能系统（ESS）捕获。与同类燃料电池相比，Atrex Energy的SOFC的另一个优势是，它采用了“管状”燃料电池，而不是传统的“堆叠”式技术。这种优势减少了维护时间、整体尺寸和组件成本，对于不熟悉可再生能源发电设备的油气运营商来说，这是一个明显的优势。该应用研究项目将整合第一阶段开发的完整DM-SOFC包的设计，并对系统进行现场测试，包括由赛特-阿里斯与SC. ********************合作开发的进气和排气气体调节系统
