GAS COMPRESSION

Gas gathering lines bring the gas to the plant inlet separators which remove gas condensate and water that may condense from the gas stream.  Inlet gas compressors are configured with 2 stages of gas compression to boost the inlet gas to the inlet plant operating pressure of 600 psig. 

​

SALES GAS COMPRESSION AND DELIVERY

There are 2 hydrocarbon streams from the NRU process.  After being vaporized and warmed to near plant inlet temperatures, the high pressure (HP) stream exits the NRU at approximately 250 psig and does not require compression.  The low pressure (LP) stream from the plant consists of the sidestream of the nitrogen rejection column bottom hydrocarbon product that was expanded across the secondary JT valve to provide column condensing duty.  After being fully vaporized and warmed in the heat exchange network, the LP gas flows to the sales gas compressors.
