This project aims to upgrade low-BTU gas in the Elmdale field, Chase County, KS through a joint effort by the Kansas Geological Survey and American Energies Inc.'s Stripper Well Consortium. The plant includes various components such as a de-hydrator, pressure equalizing valves, alternating adsorption/desorption towers, and a compressor powered by an engine.
