Mobile modular systems for the production of commodity liquid product from the associated petroleum gas

   Associated petroleum gas (APG), derived from gravity separation processes emulsion in commercial preparation is a mixture of light gas components (methane, ethane), and heavier hydrocarbons C 3+ (propane and above) and a pair of easy oil. The presence in the gas stream of heavy hydrocarbons leads to the unsustainable use of natural energy and complications in the operation of gas consuming equipment, collection systems and transport gas. To improve the efficiency of production processes is important to develop a solution aimed at the preparation of associated gas. Research and analysis of existing technologies has shown that the best method is low-temperature separation with the external refrigerant circuit. The selected technical solutions allow to reduce the power consumption of the implemented installation by 20 %, reduce the number and dimensions of the basic devices and use of highly efficient equipment in modular design high operational readiness.
