What is Shale gas?
Is natural gas trapped within shale formations.
And why is it important?• Energy dependence • Reduce greenhouse
gas emissions
![Page 3: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Purpose
• Take raw shale gas and purify.
• Produce compressed natural gas/pipeline gas.
• Produce liquefied natural gas (LNG)
• Supply methane for Ammonia Plant, Air Separations and Syngas Plant, the Direct Iron Reduction Plant, and Combined Heat/Power plant.
• Supply Nitrogen (N2) to Ammonia Plant.
• Produce natural gas liquids (NGL) for sale.

First Step:Water Removal and Condensation
![Page 7: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
First Step:Water Removal and Condensation
Gravity Separation
Example of Horizontal Separator
![Page 8: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
First Step:Water Removal and Condensation
• Purpose: To separate gas/liquid phases.• Additionally water and NGLs may be
separated within the same unit given proper settling time.
• Proper pressure and liquid-level controls required.
• A mist extractor at gas exit captures droplets too small to settle by gravity.
• The sudden change in momentum generates the separation of liquid from gas.

Second Step:Acid Gas Removal
BenfieldProcess• Thermally regenerated
cyclical solvent process
• Uses an activated, inhibited hot potassium carbonate solution to remove CO2, H2S and other acid gas components
![Page 13: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Second Step:Acid Gas Removal
Sulfinol Process
• For selective absorption of H2S, COS and mercaptans, while co-absorbing only part of the CO2
• The solvent is composed of Sulfolane, DIPA or MDEA and water
• Great for treating large quantity of gas such as natural gas which are at elevated pressure
![Page 14: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Second Step:Separation H2S and CO2
![Page 15: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Second Step:Separation H2S and CO2
Room-Temperature Ionic Liquid (RTILs)
• An ionic liquid comprising an anion having a carboxylate function and an effective amount of water is used as an adsorbent to selectively complex the CO2 yielding a gaseous stream with a greatly reduced CO2 content.

Fourth Step:Dehydration
![Page 21: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fourth Step:Dehydration
Glycol Separation
• Commonly used
• Triethylene Glycol
• Glycol absorbs water
• Can potentially vaporize hydrocarbons
![Page 22: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fifth Step:Nitrogen Removal
![Page 23: Gas Treatment Plant Chris, Stephanie, Kyle, Mariam.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d945503460f94a7b516/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fifth Step:Nitrogen Removal
Methods: Cryogenics, Pressure Swing Adsorption, Membrane separation and lean oil absorption.
Cryogenics: The only widely acceptable method on the industrial scale.• Costs $0.30-0.50/Mscf for plants handling 75 MMscfd• Costs $1.00+/Mscf for plants handling 2 MMscfd or less.• Methane and Nitrogen condense at different temperatures -
256F and -346F respectively.
Membrane Process: No membrane alone has the Nitrogen/Methane separation characteristics.
PSA and Lean Oil Absorption: Prohibitively high capital costs and require lower volume flows.

Sixth Step:Natural Gas Liquid Recovery
Turbo Expander and Demethanizer
• Turbine through which a high pressure gas is expanded to produce work that is often used to drive a compressor
• Low-temperature distillation column to separate CH4 and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs)

LNG Transportation
LNG occupies 1/600th the volume of natural gas in gaseous form.
• LNG is necessary when no pipeline exists.
• Efficient method for exporting natural gas.
Example of LNG tanker
