Job Summary

• To be responsible for managing technology in projects and providing technical guidance / solutions for work completion Job Title: Senior Natural Gas Treatment Engineer – Power Generation Location: Houston, TX or Duncan, OK ________________________________________ Role Overview We are seeking a Natural Gas Treatment Engineer to define, specify, and validate fuel gas treatment solutions for natural gas fired reciprocating engines and gas turbines used in power generation applications. This role serves as the technical authority for fuel quality, working closely with engine and turbine OEMs, EPCs, and gas treatment vendors to ensure that delivered fuel gas consistently meets OEM requirements for reliable, compliant, and efficient operation across a wide range of gas sources, including pipeline gas, associated gas, and field gas. ________________________________________ Key Responsibilities Fuel Specification & OEM Interface • Act as the primary technical interface with engine and turbine OEMs to interpret and apply fuel gas specifications for power generation applications.
• Translate OEM fuel requirements into clear, enforceable gas treatment specifications for project execution.
• Review OEM deviations, waivers, and fuel flexibility limits; provide technical recommendations and risk assessments. Gas Quality Assessment & Treatment Design • Analyze natural gas compositions and contaminants, including: o H₂S, total sulfur, CO₂ o Moisture / water dew point o Heavy hydrocarbons (C₅+, BTX) o Particulates, liquids, compressor oil carryover o Siloxanes, mercury (where applicable) • Determine required gas treatment technologies, such as: o Filtration and coalescing o Dehydration (glycol or desiccant) o Acid gas removal (H2S, CO2, etc.) o Hydrocarbon dew point control o Fuel gas heating, pressure regulation, and conditioning • Define treatment needs specific to reciprocating engines vs gas turbines, accounting for combustion sensitivity, valve durability, turbine hot section protection, and emissions performance. System Specification & Integration • Develop fuel gas treatment scope documents, datasheets, and performance requirements for procurement and EPC execution.
• Ensure proper integration of gas treatment systems with: o Engine or turbine fuel systems o SCR and emissions control systems o Safety systems and hazardous area classifications • Support HAZOPs, design reviews, and risk assessments related to fuel gas quality.
