Air coolers for natural gas processing

Understanding Natural Gas Processing

Natural gas processing involves several steps to convert raw natural gas into a marketable product. These steps include:

 

  1. Separation: Initial separation of natural gas from oil, water, and other impurities at the wellhead.
  2. Contaminant Removal: Removal of impurities such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, and other contaminants.
  3. NGL Extraction: Extraction of natural gas liquids (NGLs) like ethane, propane, butane, and pentane, which are valuable by-products.
  4. Dehydration: Removing water vapor to prevent pipeline corrosion and hydrate formation.
  5. Fractionation: Separating the extracted NGLs into individual components for sale and further processing.

Key Components of Natural Gas Processing Plants

Natural gas processing plants are equipped with various technologies and systems to handle the complex purification process:
  • Inlet Separators: Remove large quantities of liquid and solid contaminants.
  • Amine Gas Treating Units: Remove acid gases like H2S and CO2.
  • Molecular Sieve Dehydrators: Remove water vapor from the gas stream.
  • Cryogenic Processors: Extract NGLs by cooling the gas to extremely low temperatures.
