NaturaL GAS PROCESSING

 Gas conditioning

Natural gas produced as free or associated with the oil caries normally traces of oil, water and some solid particles. Before any treatment to remove undesirable gas components, conditioning is done via:

• Feed gas separators.
• High energy separators.
• Decanters.
• Mist extractors.

Dehydration

 

  It essential to control hydrocarbon and water dew points of natural gas streams for the purpose of transporting the gas some distance for further treatment without the separation of harmful water phase. Several technologies are available to do that, depending on size and cost:

• Glycol dehydration system.
• Desiccant gas dehydration.
• Glycol-amine gas dehydration.
• Solid adsorbent dehydration system.
