Condensate stabilization is one of the most common operations in the gas processing world. The principal considerations affecting the performance of the plant when debottlenecking or designing new condensate stabilization units are the configurations, product quality, energy saving, and equipment size. Sound process design can significantly reduce capital investments and operating costs. The purpose of this paper is to review and illustrate the fundamentals of this process, including flow-sheet configuration and key operating parameters, and to show how they affect the plant performance, including energy consumption and economics.
