Increasing production capacity of existing facilities through the modification of existing equipment to remove throughput restrictions. Debottlenecking generally increases capacity for a fraction of the cost of building new facilities
Process of removing hydrogen
A natural gas processing equipment that removes water vapor by bubbling natural gas through a glycol contactor, which absorbs water vapor.
The primary products derived from the process are the asphalt (asphaltenes, hard and soft resins) and the deasphalted oil (DAO). The asphalt is used for road paving and the production of roof shingles. The DAO would either be dewaxed to produce lub oil base stock or fed into the FCC or Hydrocracker to produce distillate fuels (fuel oils). >
The process of removing liquids and moisture content from gas or other matter. Gas is dehydrated to prevent the formation of hydrates. Triethylene glycol is used to absorb any water from the gas
