Benefits of Modular Skid-Mounted Plants

While many gas processing plants remain on-site for long periods, or until natural gas production is depleted, choosing modular skid-mounted plants can facilitate installation and also save time and money (CAPEX).  What is a Modular Skid-Mounted Plant?Modular skid-mounted plants can be comprised of multiple...

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...

The Essential Midstream Process

The natural gas value chain consists of integral functions that leverage upstream, midstream, and downstream operations to collaboratively produce, transport, and deliver key energy resources to the consumer.  Following exploration and the initial production activities, midstream operations provide essential...

How an ASME Pressure Vessel is Made

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is a universally acknowledged set of standards developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers which regulates the design, manufacturing, installation, inspection, and operation of boilers and pressure vessels. An ASME Certification signifies...

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 a Full-Service Operations Company can Streamline Natural Gas Plant Start-ups

The natural gas that provides energy and power to homes and businesses across the country is not the same as the natural gas that is extracted from deep underground. In its raw form, natural gas contains chemical contaminants that reduce its energy capacity and can be harmful to the consumer. To help...

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...

4 Factors to Consider When Looking For a Gas Treating Company

xxx A natural gas treating company can serve various purposes, but the main reason most gas producers need a gas treating company is to provide them with equipment to clean their raw natural gas and transform it into pipeline quality gas. A gas treating company also provides processing plants that reduce...

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...
