JT Dew Point Conditioning System
How it works
Accurate prediction of dew point pressures of natural gas is of the utmost importance for the gas industry as it is one of the gas quality specifications used for ensuring the safe transport and processing of natural gas. Hence, Petro Gasgen’s offering of a custom engineered and highly efficient Joule-Thompson (JT) plant helps to recover precious natural gas liquids (NGL) much more easily while also assisting to maintain the water and hydrocarbon dew point of a given production stream in accordance with local and international pipeline specifications. This self-contained, skid mounted system is perfectly suited for operating environments with short-term application and space limitations such as offshore oil platforms due to its ease of installation and starting up.
How its works?
The main components of a JT plant are gas/gas heat exchanger with hot gas bypass, cold separator, JT valve, methanol injection system and control system. Gas enters the JT plant and flows through the gas/gas heat exchanger followed by a gas/liquid heat exchanger.The gas then experiences a pressure drop and cools down to a low temperature after passing through the JT valve. The cold separator collects the liquid fallout from the JT valve and sends it to storage tanks while the remaining cold gas exits the JT plant by traveling back through the heat exchanger.
