ABSTRACT

The objective of this chapter is to show how the processes discussed in Chapters 8 through 16 are blended together to form a complete processing plant. This chapter discusses three modern plants with significantly different feed and product slates:

• A 500 MMscfd (13 × 106 Nm3/d) plant with sweet gas feed and 98% ethane recovery. • A 279 MMscfd (7.5 × 106 Nm3/d) plant with sour gas feed and both NGL and sulfur

recovery. • A 7.1 × 106 Nm3/d (265 MMscfd) plant with sour gas feed, NGL recovery, and nitrogen

rejection.
