SPEAKER
Ralph Neumann – Midstream Process Engineering Consultant
AGENDA
Hydrocarbon liquids (NGL) extraction is at the core of our midstream industry. In the next session of our Overview of Gas Processing Series, we examine the major technologies used to produce NGL from gathered feed streams.
- We will look briefly at the renewed popularity of mechanical refrigeration plants.
- We will compare various modern expander plant technologies including basic refluxed demethanizers and popular variations for ultra-high propane recovery during ethane rejection and ultra-high ethane recovery.
- We will also look at trends in condensate stabilizer design as well as the principles of separation of NGL into various purity products at fractionation complexes like Mont Belvieu.
This session will conclude our 5-part training series on the Overview of Gas Processing! We will be back in the Fall with our next Houston GPA training sessions!
