Drying, filtering and liquefaction in the oil & gas industry

Quality and composition based measurement of liquefaction

After well-head processing, natural gas is collected and typically delivered to the liquefaction plant by pipeline. The delivered quantity is measured in a custody transfer metering skid, and analyzer instrumentation determines the composition and quality. Before the main liquefaction processes, various filters and scrubbers complete the drying, and remove impurities such as mercury, H2S and CO2.
