For all process schemes showed in Fig. 1, the gas processing starts with precooling of the feed stream through thermal integration with the outlet stream (sales
The fractionation of natural gas liquids (NGL) is an energydemanding process, often conducted with a separation train that includes cryogenic distillation columns. This work
Two basic steps: 1) Extraction, 2) Fractionation. NGL Extraction. Absorption Method. Similar to using absorption for dehydration, using a different absorbing oil for hydrocarbons. Cryogenic Expansion Process. Dropping
Cryogenic NGL extraction plants from natural gas offer an attractive opportunity for LNG production as a side stream. Cold gas is
Natural gas liquids extraction and separation. Natural gas liquids (NGL) are a group of hydrocarbons, sometimes referred to as purity NGL, that includes ethane, propane, normal butane (nbutane), isobutane and natural
Two liquefaction plant configurations have been compared: • NGL extraction through a scrub column integrated with the main cryogenic heat exchanger in
The summation of plant NGL removal per component will yield NGL yield in gallons per MSCF. The calculated NGL yield in GPM can be converted into BBL/MMSCF by multiplying by 1000 and dividing by 42
The entire fractionation process is a series of steps, starting with the removal of the lighter NGLs from the stream, usually in the following order: Deethanizer ethane removal. Depropanizer propane removal.
NGL extraction recovers valuable natural gas liquids from NGL Recovery plants that typically use a cryogenic process these very cold temperatures cause
Cryogenic NGL extraction plants from natural gas offer an attractive opportunity for LNG production as a side stream. Cold gas is tapped from the overhead of the demethanizer and liquefied via a
Two liquefaction plant configurations have been compared: • NGL extraction through a scrub column integrated with the main cryogenic heat exchanger in the liquefaction unit. • NGL extraction using a standalone turboexpander process and a booster compressor, upstream and independent from liquefaction unit.
2.0 Traditional StandAlone Gas Plant Upstream of Liquefaction Plant A number of NGL recovery processes have been developed for natural gas and other gas streams.(5, 6, 7) Among various NGL recovery processes, the cryogenic expansion process has become the preferred process for deep hydrocarbon liquid recovery from natural gas
The Harmattan Gas Processing Complex processes and extracts gas. It is one of the largest gas plants in Alberta and is located 100 kilometres north of Calgary near Sundre Alberta. Harmattan has natural
This design guideline covers the basic elements in the field of Natural Gas Liquids Units in sufficient detail to allow an engineer to design a NGL unit with the suitable size of diameter, reflux
Cryogenic natural gas processing consists of lowering the gas temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (84°C). These plants use external refrigerants and an expansion turbine. The adsorption technique can extract almost all NGLs from the stream. Now, extracting lighter hydrocarbons like ethane can be more challenging.
The results of this study are based on openart NGL extraction processes. In many cases, licensed processes that are protected by patents offer superior economic results, particularly for deep C2
3 C2 extraction unit combined with a steam cracker (LNG and Gas plant) When Company decides to valorise the ethane by extracting ethane from natural gas/LNG and send it to a steam cracker, the NGL recovery unit design has to incorporate the following constrains: Maximum ethane extraction, when the steam cracker is producing at full
This module introduces the basic operation of a cryogenic plant. In the Cryogenic process, natural gas is cooled to condense the Ethane and heavier hydrocarbons, and then it is distilled to remove any condensed Methane. The process includes heat exchangers to provide this cooling and compression/pumps to bring the residue gas and
Sometimes straddle plants located on large pipelines will extract small quantities of NGL that remain in the stream even after processing. Similarly, newer, more efficient cryogenic plants may also sit

Natural gas liquids (NGL) extraction methods Lean oil absorption. Hydrocarbon liquids can be extracted from natural gas by contacting the gas with a light oil of uniform molecular weight. The fraction of each compound going into solution in the oil increases with decreasing volatility of the compound at the absorber pressure and

Gas treating and processing. Natural gas is a mixture of many compounds, with methane (CH 4) being the main hydrocarbon constituent. When natural gas is produced from an underground reservoir, it is saturated with water vapor and might contain heavy hydrocarbon compounds as well as nonhydrocarbon impurities. In the raw state, natural
The Younger Extraction Plant is strategically located near Taylor, BC in the liquidsrich Montney area and straddles a highvolume pipeline transmission system that transports natural gas to end markets.
The NGL plant produces liquid rich in C 2, C 3, C 4 and higher hydrocarbons from bottom and a residual gas from top of demethanizer. NGL’s are fractionated into ethane, propane, butane and C5+ in tailormade processing plants as per specific requirements of the regional markets and customers.
The company says its NGL North project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from oilsands projects in the Christina Lake area by over 200,000 tonnes per year by removing liquids such as
