New Methods of Natural Gas Adjusting for Technological Purposes Based on Modern Filtration Materials

Reservoir gas treatment technologies currently in use require significant investments in equipment and materials. Considering the foregoing, new technologies are sought for treatment and separation of components of extracted gas. They will guarantee compliance with gas quality requirements arising from applicable standards while at the same time lowering the costs of investment, service and environmental protection. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to develop an efficient mobile technology for natural gas treatment, on the basis of advanced filtering and coalescing materials and membranes, which eliminate the existing, economically non-viable processes and reduce the costs related to development of new reservoirs. The purpose of designed materials was removal of solid particles, water, higher hydrocarbons and nitrogen from natural gas. Presented integrated filtration and membrane system, characterized by a highly compact design enabling installation in container stations and transporting the system between specific points of production.
