Products and solutions that shape the future

The world is looking for greener energy sources. When more than 80% of energy needs of the world are
being met by natural resources of oil and gas, it is imperative that we make their production and
utilization as environmentally friendly as possible. This is the goal of Direct Combustion Technologies
whose motto is to “work with nature, for a greener future”.

PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS

The HydroFlame Process

One of Direct Combustion Technologies’ primary innovations is the HydroFlame Process. This patented system employs a new concept of direct contact combustion and heat transfer based on enclosing a high-intensity flame in the vortex core of a rotating body of water.

Surface/Downhole Steam Generator

Co-injection of Flue Gases and Water

Hot Water Heater to Heat Frac Water

PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS

Gas-Assisted Gravity Drainage Process

The other main Direct Combustion Technologies solution is the Gas-Assisted Gravity Drainage Process, or GAGD. This system has yielded oil recoveries in the range of 65 to 95% in laboratory experiments conducted at realistic reservoir conditions.

Higher incremental oil recovery yields

Significantly cheaper gas compression costs

Substantially lower gas requirements

High flow rates even at low drawdown
