TURBO-EXPANDER CRYOGENIC DEEP-CUT FRACTIONATION FACILITY PROJECT
Pre-FEED Engineering for the design of a new turbo-expander cryogenic fractionation facility capable of handling 400 MMSCFD inlet gas with a minimum recovery of 85% ethane and 98% of propane.
Technical evaluation of different Turbo-Expander Technologies such as:
-
Gas Subcooled Process (GSP)
-
Recycle Split Vapour (RSV)
-
Ortloff Recycle Split Vapour Enrichment (RSVE)
-
