ABSTRACT

The previous chapters focused on processing gas streams. This chapter discusses processing hydrocarbon liquids. The two liquid streams processed in a gas plant are the condensate from inlet separators and demethanizer bottoms NGL stream. Condensate from field operations is brought to the plant by truck as well, but this condensate typically goes directly to storage and then to sale as natural gasoline or slop oil without further processing. This chapter discusses the processing required to produce marketable liquid products.
