Natural gas coolers are very common and practical tools in the oil and gas industries. These tools are heat exchangers that reduce gas and liquid temperatures to safe levels. This allows for processing facilities to meet pipeline specifications that are required before the materials can be sent off to consumers.

Modern gas coolers are powered by louvers that are adjustable and allow for facilities to reach their desired temperature with ease.

How Do Gas Coolers Work for a Facility?

Natural gas coolers are used to control temperatures in the flow stream of the gas and liquid properties produced by a plant. There are typically three cooler types on the modern market:

1. Natural Gas Engine Drive
2. Electric Motor Drive
3. Ambient

Despite the type of cooler that your production facility goes with, the outcome is generally the same. Fans in the unit blow air across tubes where the well stream enters. Through this process the exiting stream of materials has the ability to be cooled within 15 degrees of its desired ambient temperature.

What are the Benefits of Gas Coolers?

The benefits of gas coolers can be broken down into three sections:

• Performance
• Value
• Confidence

Performance

As far as performance goes natural gas coolers are built with stainless steel tubes that guarantee a longer equipment life. Their build is also beneficial when preventing piping damage and system leaks. When functioning at their highest capacity, they can help a production facility meet their required specifications for their temperature goals.

Value

When working with a Pro-Gas cooler, you have the flexibility to work with an electric motor drive that can provide power generation and ultimately save your facility money.

There are several uses for natural gas that benefit everyone in their daily lives. Yes, we know that with a simple flick of a switch or push of a button, we have natural gas at our fingertips for our general use. However, is gas delivery really that simple?

Even though we have access to natural gas, many people don’t really understand the process that is involved in delivery to consumers. NGL storage and delivery is a process full of systems and stations that safely transport gas from the ground to your home.

What Are the Gathering Systems for?

Gathering systems are where the gas delivery system begins. By using one or more field compressors, the gas is moved easily to a pipeline or are natural gas production facility. The compressors in these facilities push the gas through various lines.

Processing facilities in a gathering system serve numerous functions that include:

• Removing water impurities
• Removing carbon dioxide
• Removing sulfur

By leaving these elements in the gas, the material can corrode a pipeline or significantly reduce the energy value that the gas would produce for consumers.

Transmission System

The next step in delivery involves the transmission system. Picture hundreds of thousands of miles of piping that are composed of high-strength steel. These are the transmission lines that move natural gas. The sheer length of these pipelines and their numbers provide maximum amounts of the product during peak demand hours.

Even though these may seem like the end of the delivery system, there are other steps involved when getting natural gas into the hands of consumers.

Compressor Stations

The material is highly pressurized on its journey to the home. Use of compressed natural gas packages are useful for facilities that are seeking distribution. There are several safety and environmental regulations involved in gas delivery, so compressors are needed to make sure that the gas is safe for delivery.

The gas compressors at these stations are typically able to handle both low and high pressures. The right compressor will be able to adapt to the needs of a facility.

How is Gas Transported Across the Country?

The interstate natural gas pipeline network is what ultimately transports processed gas from producing regions to areas of the country that have high natural gas needs. Natural gas that is pushed through the transmission system normally passes through a gate station that receives gas from several locations and pipelines. These stations serve the purpose of:

• Reducing line pressure
• Add an odorant for consumers
• Measures the flow rate to utility ratio

From here, the gas moves into the mains that we all utilize in our homes to power our natural gas-reliant units.

The oil and natural gas production industries are two of the biggest industries that keep the world in motion. Through the production and delivery of these materials, people across the country are able to use household items like:

• HVAC Units
• Gas Stoves
• Dryers
• Water Heaters

These industries are very important to our daily lives, and there are times that we can forget that the production of these products can take a toll on the environment. Luckily, through work with the EPA, the industry and its facility operators have regulations in place that can produce these resources while also maintaining the environment.

Here is a look at some of the most effective regulations that help maintain a clean environment while also continuing the successful production of oil and NGLs.

Oil and Natural Gas Production Facility Regulations

Production facilities are the heart and soul of natural gas and oil delivery. Since 2015, these facilities have been regulated to meet green requirements as set by the EPA.

The goal of these requirements as set by the Clean Air Act is to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from oil and natural gas production facilities as well as natural gas transmission and storage facilities.

The emissions that the EPA is trying to reduce are known as HAPs and contain:

• Benzene
• Toluene
• Ethyl Benzene
• Mixed Xylenes
• N-Hexane

These toxins are known to cause birth defects. According to the EPA, natural gas production facilities can meet these provisions by complying with state advance notification requirements.

“If a state does not have an advance notification requirement, companies must inform EPA no later than two days before the well completion using hydraulic fracturing begins,” according to the EPA site. These notifications can be submitted either electronically or in writing.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gives EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from discovery to disposal.

Through this act, the EPA is able to control the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. This act also has a framework in place for the management and storage of non-hazardous materials.

This is where products from Pro-Gas LLC come into play. By providing natural gas and oil facilities with tanks and other forms of NGL storage, we are helping them meet the basic requirements that the EPA has imposed.

Our storage solutions are even mobile. Since they are stored on skids, facilities are free to place this equipment where it is needed and where it is most safe for the environment.

Pro-Gas LLC Helps Both the Environment and Facilities

At Pro-Gas LLC, we care about the environment that our products work to protect. Even though the oil production area is our industry, we understand that there needs to be a balance between production and environmental quality.

If you are a manager of a production facility and are concerned with the way that your business operates, get in touch with us today to find the best equipment to safely get the job done. By reaching out to us, our experienced team can help you understand our environmentally safe solutions to NGL storage, cooling, and more.

An oil production facility is a lot more than simply a place where oil is produced and shipped off to consumers. Here is a closer look at how facilities actually function and the many processes that go into producing the materials that we use on a daily basis.

Main and Secondary Functions of an Oil Production Facility

An oil facility surprisingly has several different functions involved with its purpose. The main function of an oil production facility is to:

• Separate oil, gas, water, and solids
• Treat oil to meet sales specifications
• Measure/Sample the Oil to Determine Value
• Deliver the Oil

These facilities also treat natural gas for sales or disposal. Fuel gas treatment may include separation from the liquids as well as other processes that include:

• Gas Compression
• Dehydration
• Removal of H2S and CO2
• Gas Processing into NGLs

Secondary Processes at an Oil Production Facility

Aside from processing oil for sale, the water and solids that are produced from these processes must be treated for disposal. In addition to separating hydrocarbons, secondary processes of an oil production facility include:

• Filtration
• Pumping
• Deionization

Natural Gas Separation

The first step in the process of a manufacturing facility is separating the gas from the liquid and the water from the oil. This part of the process usually involves a separator which is a pressure vessel into which the well stream flows to allow the gas, oil, and water to separate because of gravity.

Separators are either two-phase or three phase; in a two-phase separator, the process involves separating gas from liquids. A three-phase separator separates gas, oil, and water from three outlets.

Oil Treatment

Keep in mind that no separation is a perfect job, and there is always some amount of water remaining in the oil and it can range from less than 1 percent to 20 percent in the oil. The higher the molecular weight of the water in the oil, then the less efficient the separation was.

In order to remove the last of the water from the oil, the oil itself is processed through an oil treater. This is a similar device to a separator but is specific to helping to separate the remaining water from the oil.

After this process, the oil is usually sent to a dry oil tank where it is pumped through a sales meter to prepare for transportation.

Produced-Water Treatment

When dealing with the process of produced-water treatment from the oil. a good rule of thumb is to use two types of water-treating equipment for a gas facility and three types for an oil facility.

Common water treatment equipment includes:

• Water Skimmers
• Plate Coalescers
• Gas Floatation Devices

Liquefied natural gas, also known as NGLs in the oil and gas industry is natural gas that has been turned into liquid form for several reasons, from safety to transport. Liquifying natural gas is one of the main functions of any oil production facility, for many reasons. NGLs are common in the industry and society as a whole, but many people don’t know all of the facts about this production good that we use on a daily basis. Here are some of the little-known facts about NGLs and why natural gas is even liquefied in the first place.

Why Liquefy It?

When natural gas is in its gaseous state it is a hazard. There are many reasons to liquefy it, but safety is really one of the main ones. The liquefication process cools and removes certain components that can cause safety complications like dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons. While in its gaseous state, the material is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. However, the dangers of natural gases lie in flammability, freezing, and asphyxia.

Also, Liquefied Natural Gas is easier to use in daily life as a product that powers cars and facilities alike.

Shipping Safety with Liquefied Natural Gas

NGL are usually created in order to transport natural gas to markets. Once they are shipped these gases are usually regasified and distributed throughout the pipeline. Ships that carry out natural gas shipments are equipped with state-of-the-art leak detection technology, emergency shutdown systems, advanced radar, and other technologies that ensure that there will be safe and secure transport of the goods.

With a double hull and heavy insulation, these ships are built so that the transported natural gases are not stored under pressure, and all of the crew is alerted that there are potentially hazardous materials on-board.

Did You Know About Regasification Terminals?

Once natural gas liquids hit their arrival site, they are sent to import and regasification terminals. These areas are plants that are built to store and process NGLs safely. These facilities come with extensive safety systems like:

• Spill containment
• Methane detectors
• Fire detection
• Suppression equipment

The industry surrounding liquefied natural gases provides its workers with appropriate security, planning, prevention and more to significantly reduce risks when working with this substance. They are also in close coordination with local state and federal authorities since they are the regulators in charge of putting natural gases through to the public.

Need Your NGLs Mobile? Pro-Gas can Help

Throughout the world, there is an enormous amount of natural gas that can be put to good use for the public. However, in order to safely transport product across oceans, they first must be liquefied and cooled using gas coolers. If you are a facility owner that is facing a need to liquefy your gas products, then Pro-Gas, LLC has some solutions that will keep your gas flowing.

Using our gas coolers, you can help meet the stringent temperature requirements of liquefied natural gas. We also have the capabilities to make your NGLs go mobile through the use of our natural gas liquid JT skids. Get in touch with us today to find out more about our services and products.

Natural gas production is an important business that has an impact on all of our lives. From creating vehicle fuel to providing the power that our homes rely on, there is no question about how much our society actually puts to use its produced natural gasses. There are natural gas production facilities popping up all over the country and new shale gas areas opening up on a regular basis. It is no surprise that new players are eager to start careers in the natural gas production industry. However, before entering the industry, we think it is a good idea to understand the most popular equipment being used in the current natural gas production business.

JT Skids & Fuel Gas Conditioning

A successful natural gas production plant will have a fuel gas conditioning system that takes raw, high-pressure gas and turns it into lean fuel gas in order to maximize the natural gas liquids vapor recovery. This equipment is important to facilities because it maximizes NGL recoveries, provides lower BTU fuel for field operations, and decreases maintenance of the facility due to lower BTU.

It is very important to have a fuel conditioner, and getting one that is skid-mounted is a great way of remaining mobile and provides for an easier installation of your facility equipment.

Portable Natural Gas Liquid Storage

NGL storage is important for facilities because it helps reduce the cost of having to create a functional natural gas liquids storage tanks for the facility. Gas is a renewable liquid so mobile ways of storing NGLs are extremely important.

One excellent solution is portable NGL storage. This storage solution is not only a piece of cake to install, but it is skid mounted and has all of its loading accessories located on the skid. Our NGL storage skids come with all of the components that are required by safety regulations.

Natural Gas Coolers

Natural Gas coolers are a great mobile way to eliminate the negative operating effects of high gas and liquid temperatures. These pieces of equipment receive liquid streams for cooling and flow through tubes to lower the temperature. Eventually, this process eventually controls natural gas and helps achieve the desired outlet temperature.

Pro-Gas, LLC has two sizes of gas coolers available. Our products have all of the standard features that are needed for natural gas coolers to get the job done.
