ABSTRACT
Pressure plays a major role in gas processing, as it moves gas from the field, through the gas plant, and into the sales gas line. Pressure provides the source for cooling the gas to low temperatures. Process streams that undergo compression include:
• Gas leaving inlet receiving (Chapter 8). To maximize liquids recovery, the inlet gas is typically at 700-1000 psi (50-70 bar) when it enters the hydrocarbon recovery section (see Chapter 12).
