Refrigeration Unit (RU) is used to cool natural gas in an effort to reduce the hydrocarbon dew point of the gas to meet pipeline quality specifications, or maximize the natural gas liquid (NGL) recovery of a natural gas stream to improve the overall monetary return of a natural gas stream.
STAACO’s RU utilizes gas-to-gas exchangers and Freon to gas exchangers, to reach cold separator temperatures ranging from 0ºF to -50ºF.
Some advantages of using MRU include:
- Fully skid mounted units capable of processing gas from 0.1 to 20 MMSCFD
- Low DP across the equipment
- Capable of providing process temperatures down to -50ºF (with optional JT assist)
- High reliability and low maintenance requirements
- Very little or low emissions
- 1440# MAOP to satisfy high pressure applications
- 10:1 or better turndown capabilities for flexible operations
