Northern Natural Gas - Lyons TRT (Dehy Amine Flare) - Oil Extraction Facility in Lyons, Kansas

Northern Natural Gas - Lyons TRT (Dehy Amine Flare) is an oil extraction facility located in Lyons, Rice County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and focuses on natural gas processing, including dehydration and amine treatment to remove water and hydrogen sulfide. It is part of the broader oil and gas infrastructure in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for oil and natural gas production. State-level regulations from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment also apply. Typical technologies at such facilities include amine scrubbers, glycol dehydrators, and flares for emission control. As a natural gas processing site, this facility plays a role in conditioning gas for pipeline transport and downstream use. Its location in Kansas places it within a significant oil and gas producing region, contributing to the local energy supply chain. The facility's operations are subject to environmental monitoring to manage emissions and ensure compliance with air quality standards.

The facility is situated in a rural area of central Kansas, a region with active oil and gas production. The environmental context includes potential air emissions from dehydration and amine treatment processes, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hydrogen sulfide. Flaring operations may also generate combustion byproducts. Regulatory oversight by the EPA and state authorities aims to minimize these impacts through emission controls and monitoring.
