  1. GAS PURIFICATION Team Alpha Mentor: Patrick Shannon

  2. TEAM ALPHA • Team Leader: Roxana Kolatek • Corey Lee • Scribe: Shakeeta Brown • Ivan Silakov

  3. DESIGN BASIS • 3118 TPD TO FRONT END AMMONIA • 150 MW TO CHP • 1050 BTU/SCF NG TO 10,000 HOMES

  4. BLOCK FLOW DIAGRAM

  5. Pipeline gas specifications • 500 PSI • CO2 Maximum of 2-3 mol % • H2S Less than .25 grain/100 scf • Water Vapor Less 7.0 lb/MM scf • Temp Higher than • Hydrocarbon Dew Point 67.46 ºF • Water Dew Point

  6. Process flow diagram

  7. External material balance

  8. EXTERNAL ENERGY BALANCE

  9. H2S REMOVAL MATERIAL BALANCE

  10. DEHYDRATION MATERIAL BALANCE

  11. NGL MATERIAL BALANCE

  12. Equipment $$

  13. ECONOMICS • Data is incomplete • Comparing current plants that are built • NGL removal using Cryogenics: 1856.1 MM$ • Dehydration using Glycol: 64.9 MM$ • H2S removal using Amine: 55.6 MM$ • Sum: 1976.7 MM$ installed

  14. economics • So how are we going to make money? • Annual income: 225.3 MM$ • Thus the payback time would be: 8.7 years

  15. DATA FROM BOOKS • BOOKS USED • GPSA Engineering Data Book. Vol. I & II. Tulsa: Gas Processors Suppliers Association, 2004. • Guo, Boyun, and Ali Ghalambor. Natural Gas Engineering Handbook. Houston: Gulf, 2005 • Kidnay, Arthur J., and William R. Parrish. Fundamentals of Natural Gas Processing. Boca Raton: Taylor & Francis Group, 2006. • Maddox, R. N. Gas and Liquid Sweetening. 2nd ed. Norman: Campbell Petroleum Series, 1974. • Poling, Bruce E., John M. Prausnitz, and John P. O'Connell. The Properties of Gases and Liquids. 5th ed. McGraw-Hill Companies, 2001.

  16. DATA ONLINE • SOME WEBSITES INCLUDE • Wellhead Gas Informationhttp://www.lngplants.com/TurkistanGasNewsletterJuly262011.htmlNatural Gas Processinghttp://chemengineering.wikispaces.com/Natural+gas+processinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-gas_processinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gashttp://www.natgas.info/html/gasprocessing.htmlhttp://www.naturalgas.org/overview/background.asp • MANY OTHERS CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WIKISPACE • http://gaspurification.wikispaces.com/

  17. Hand Calculations FURTHER HAND CALCULATIONS CAN BE FOUND AT: http://gaspurification.wikispaces.com/Hand+Calculations

  18. MEETING 1 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS • Ammonia Refrigerant? • Ammonia refrigerant cannot condense propane, ethane, methane • Ammonia leak could contaminate product streams • Ammonia is corrosive to copper piping • Ammonia Used In Absorber? • Ammonia is more volatile than MDEA and can slip into the exit gas • Popular with removing CO2 from the natural gas. • CO2 is being left in natural gas

  19. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS CONT. • Any pipeline specifications? • Wasn’t able to receive any information from any of the pipeline companies. Running at pipeline specs. Pressure at 500 psig • Placement of Compressor? • The compressor will be placed after amine process • Will determine after economic analysis • Propane Storage? • Thick-Wall Steel Tanks

  20. Future focuses • REMOVAL OF CO2 • ASPEN SIMULATIONS • TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES OF PROCESS • EQUIPMENT SIZING • NEGOTIATE CONTRACT WITH SULFURIC ACID PLANT • FIND BUYERS FOR NGL’S
