Optimizing NGL treatment for sulfur and methanol reduction at Pembina NGL Corporation’s Redwater fractionation plant—Part 2
This article provides an in-depth case study on how Pembina NGL optimized NGL treatment at its Redwater fractionation plant in Alberta, Canada.
Improve kerosene mercaptan sweetening with fluoropolymer-cartridge liquid-liquid coalescers
Many refineries are experiencing new problems related to the formation of stable emulsions and poor separation due to the increased use of lower-cost opportunity crude oils that have a high total acid number (TAN), higher gravities and more sulfur content.
Optimize LNG production through contaminant mitigation—Part 2
The production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) requires a number of stages to effectively purify the feed gas. These stages are essential to maintain continuous operation and to meet product specifications. Liquid and solid contamination issues are common in many feed gas purification operations and can cause severe problems with equipment fouling, leading to additional expenses in maintenance and equipment repair, reduced production capacity and even unscheduled shutdowns.
Optimize LNG production through contaminant mitigation—Part 1
The production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) requires a number of stages to effectively purify the feed gas. These stages are essential to maintain continuous operation and to meet product specifications.
