New Mexico gas processing plants add filtration to improve amine operations

摘要

Duke Energy Field Services recently added amine filtration devices at its Linam Ranch and Eunice gas processing plants because they were experiencing operating problems due to a lack of amine filtration.The additions included full-flow element nitration on the lean and rich streams of the amine system as well as full-flow charcoal filtration on the rich stream of the system.The article reviews the plants' inlet gas treating operations and the problems from ineffective or a lack of amine filtration.The charcoal filter and post-charcoal filters are identical for both facilities.
