DES PLAINES, Ill., Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) today announced that Producers Midstream LP will
use UOP Russell modular cryogenic equipment to process 200 million
standard cubic feet per day of natural gas at its gas processing
facility in the Delaware Basin in
western Texas.
Cryogenic units extract high-value natural gas liquids (NGLs)
from natural gas streams by refrigeration to extremely low
temperatures. These NGLs – ethane, propane and butanes – are
typically used for heating or to manufacture plastics, chemicals
and fuels. When the new plant enters service next year, it will
serve gas producers in the Wolfcamp, Bone Springs and Avalon
formations of the Delaware
Basin.
"This plant is designed for the varying feed gases common in the
Delaware Basin," said Craig Ranta, business director, UOP Russell.
"Because it's so flexible, the plant can deliver top recovery rates
with changing gas composition, and with minimal downtime."
The plant's key mechanical equipment allows it to run at
different capacities to accommodate additional wells and changes in
feed supply. The plant also can switch between ethane rejection and
recovery modes as demand for ethane changes.
"Producers Midstream selected UOP Russell because of our ability
to customize specific designs based on operating philosophies,
vendor preferences and broad experience with changing feeds," Ranta
added. "In addition, the plant can be assembled, shipped, and put
into operation very quickly, allowing Producers Midstream to begin
generating revenue much sooner."
UOP Russell's pre-engineered modular equipment fits together
easily and efficiently, significantly reducing construction time
and expense, and enhancing reliability after start-up.
