Natural gas contains various components with different values. Before the gas gets fractionated in its multiple pure constituents, it needs to go through a breatkdown to separat the sales gas / LNG through a cryogenic exchange process.

- Gas coalescers on the sales gas before and after the turbo-expander and compressor
Cryogenic processes are the economical method for breaking natural gas down into its various components, NGL, LPG, condensate, and pure components (methane, ethane, propane and butane). The mercury-free, clean & dry gas enters the cryogenic exchanger where it's cooled down progressively down to -91°C, where methane can be separated from C2+ components. While the C2+ fractions move through tubes as a mix and get reheated to the downstream fractionation unit, the separated methane is expanded / heated and recompressed to the pipeline gas.
Gas Coalescer
Series 77V, Spartan PuraSep
The 77V uses advanced coalescing cartridges to efficiently capture aerosolised mist and small liquid droplets in gas streams. A variety of cartridge performance levels are offered to handle different service needs that can provide liquid effluent amounts from 50 PPB all the way down to 2 PPB. The 77V a great choice for removal of low surface tension liquids, such as lube oil and NGL with minimal solids and liquid loading.
