Impurity removal plays a crucial role in natural gas processing operations. Raw gas streams typically contain a number of impurities, such as water, H2S, CO2, and volatile...
Gas Processing
An Overview of Fouling in Heat Exchangers
Fouling in heat exchangers can have a substantial impact on the operation of processing facilities. First and foremost, it inhibits the ability of the exchanger to recover...
An Overview of Acid Gas Enrichment (AGE)
Natural gas fields that contain higher amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) than hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pose significant challenges for sulfur recovery units (SRUs) that utilize...
Improve Gas Processing Economics Through Nitrogen Rejection Unit Optimization
Cryogenic nitrogen rejection units (NRUs) play a critical role in gas processing operations. In addition to helping meet pipeline reid vapor pressure (RVP) specifications...
Overcoming Challenges of Cryogenic Gas Processing
Cryogenic gas plants process natural gas in part to efficiently recover natural gas liquids (NGLs) from raw natural gas. This process of cryogenic separation involves a...
Encouraging Technological Improvements in Gas Processing
Traditionally sour gas high in carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been ignored due to the technological gaps and high costs associated with processing it....
Gas Sweetening Technologies
If you're not familiar with how natural gas is processed, you may be tempted to believe it can simply be captured from the earth, moved through pipelines, and directed to...
