MEI provides superior designs of several types of separators.
Treaters
Hydrocarbon from the wellhead is prepared for sale and/or further processing by removing the emulsified liquids and solids from the crude, while flashing volatile vapors. This is accomplished through reliable and simple heat treaters. These units can be vertical or horizontal (for higher flow rates).
Wellhead JT Plants
Small JT plants can be installed at the wellhead to maximize the separation of liquids from the gas stream prior to pipelining to a Central Processing Facility. The JT plant relies on the Joules-Thompson effect, whereby the gas is expanded across a pressure-reducing valve, thus cooling the stream. This causes the gas liquids to condense and can be separated in a gravity separator downstream.
Condensate Stabilizers
Stabilizers maximize the production of valuable gas liquids, thus minimizing their loss to the natural gas stream. These plants also insure the liquids are stabilized and safe for storage and/or transport, and also reduces the emissions of volatile hydrocarbons (VOCs) to the
atmosphere.
