NGL and Condensate Stabilization

Dissolved gas (i.e. light hydrocarbon components such as methane (C1), ethane (C2), etc.) must be removed from the wellhead, crude oil, or natural gas condensates so that the liquid product can meet the typical specifications such as vapor pressure and/or individual component concentrations. To be safely...

Various Applications Requiring CO2 Removal

Natural gas, or natural gas liquids, can include an array of sour gas contaminants in the main process stream. These sour gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), need to be removed from the natural gas stream to allow the gas to meet pipeline or product specifications.Kinder...

How Natural Gas is Dehydrated

Natural gas needs to be dehydrated to be stored and transported efficiently. Storage is important because it can help to reduce the dependency on having natural gas supply. It also helps to maximize the capacity of distribution lines.The most common period when gas is stored is during the summertime...

How Amine Treating Sweetens Natural Gas

Natural gas from some wells contains significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2). This natural gas, because of the rotten smell provided by its sulfur content, is commonly called “sour gas”. Gas that contains CO2 or H2S is referred to as “Acid Gas”. Sour gas is undesirable...
