Early Refrigeration Methods Another early technique involved cooling the natural gas stream to condense the water vapor. By reducing the temperature of the gas, water would condense into a liquid form, which could then be separated and removed. The condensed liquids are then separated from the dry gas.

This involves chilling natural gas to very low temperatures to condense NGLs, which are then separated and fractionated. For instance, an upstream membrane unit can reduce the load on a downstream cryogenic plant, making the overall system more efficient and achieving more cost-effective NGL separation.

Removing NGLs prevents condensation and two-phase flow issues, protects downstream equipment, and ensures a consistent heating value of the sales gas. This process chills the inlet natural gas stream to extremely low temperatures, causing NGLs to condense and separate from the methane-rich gas.
