Understanding the Technical Aspects of Vapor Recovery Units

Pro-Gas Services

Condensation and Separation Condensation is a common method for recovering hydrocarbon vapors, particularly in applications involving volatile liquids. VRUs employ heat exchangers and condensers to cool the vapor stream, causing the hydrocarbons to condense into a liquid phase. Q: How do VRUs work?

How Customizable JT Skids Are Optimizing Gas Processing

Pro-Gas Services

The Low-Temperature Separator (LTS): The now frigid, two-phase stream (gas and condensed liquids) enters the LTS. In this vessel, the temperature is low enough that the heavier hydrocarbon components (the NGLs like propane, butane, and pentane) and any water vapor have condensed into a liquid state.

Welded Plate Heat Exchangers Bloc Type (Compabloc) features

Scambio Termico

The Compabloc welded plate heat exchanger has been used successfully for liquid-liquid, condensing, and reboiler duties. The Compabloc brings all of the advantages of the plate heat exchanger (higher heat transfer coefficients and minimal installation space) along with the ability to mechanically clean the heat exchanger.

New Phase to Add 1 Tcf Natural Gas to Zohr Reserves

Egypt Oil & Gas

This phase involves the use of a floating processing unit in the offshore well area, located 220 km from the shore, to separate natural gas and condensates. The workshop discussed the future of the Zohr field project and production sustainability, with a focus on the third phase of the project.

The Importance of Vapor Recovery Units in Reducing Emissions

Pro-Gas Services

This capture process is achieved through a variety of technologies, each with its own unique mechanism: Adsorption Adsorption is a process where VOC molecules are trapped on the surface of a solid material. Condensation Condensation is a process that takes advantage of the physical properties of VOCs.
