Gas liquids recovery units are intended to help you meet pipeline sales specifications and/or recover valuable marketable liquids from natural gas.  PETROGAS is a recognized leader since 1975, in the design, manufacturing and operation of gas liquids recovery Mini-Plants.

Many natural gas purchasers restrict the liquid content of natural gas entering a gathering system.  The restrictions are expressed as thermal value (BTU) and/or pentanes and heavier content.  These restrictions are intended to prevent the dangerous condensation and accumulation of liquids in gas transmission lines.

Two variables determine whether a gas stream qualifies for liquids recovery, based on economics:  (1) the rate of flow of the gas and (2) its composition.  The following are estimates of the amount of liquids recoverable from gas:

COMPOSITION BTU / SCF

RECOVERY RATE GAL/MCF TYPICAL SOURCE
3000 24 Storage Tanks
2000 12 Heater Treater
1500 5 Casing Head
1300 3 LP Separator
1200 2 Gas Wells

PETROGAS, with over 31 years of proven performance, offers standardized, skid mounted natural gas processing modules.  Basic type systems have been fully engineered to offer the highest recovery rates at the lowest capital and operating cost.

PETROGAS has a system to fit your need and operating conditions.  PETROGAS' standard system options allow you to customize your recovery system at a fraction of the cost of a custom fabricated plant.
