Gas Treating & Cryogenic NGL Recovery
The facility includes a high-pressure slug catcher, amine and TEG gas treating systems for removal of acid gas and water, molecular sieve dehydration, and a Recycle Split Vapor cryogenic NGL extraction unit with integral refrigeration compression. A nitrogen rejection unit removes inert content to meet pipeline specifications, and residue gas is delivered to pipeline via high-pressure reciprocating compressors.
Liquids Stabilization & Emissions Control
Stabilized NGL and condensate products are handled through a two-tower stabilizer system, with condensate sent to atmospheric storage and truck loadout. Emissions management is addressed through a thermal oxidizer, tank-mounted enclosed combustor, and a main process flare system designed using fire circle analysis per API standards.
Control System Architecture & Expansion-Ready Design
The facility control architecture integrates a distributed PLC-based process control system with a standalone safety control system and hardwired emergency shutdown. ZAP’s scope spanned the complete process train from inlet separation and gas treating through cryogenic NGL recovery, residue compression, and product delivery, with infrastructure sized to accommodate the plant’s planned growth to 600 MMSCFD.
