Honeywell subsidiary UOP Russell has introduced a new high recovery cryogenic gas processing plant that is 50% larger than other pre-engineered plants currently available.
With a capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet per day, the new SC-30 gas plant employs Ortloff Recycle Split Vapour technology that can recover more than 99% of high-value ethane from natural gas.
Due to its larger size, the SC-30 plant is about 20% more energy efficient on a per-cubic foot basis, lowering gas processors’ capital and operating costs. The plant is prefabricated and delivered in modular form and uses an advanced cycle process to extract high-value ethane from residue gas. Ethane is used almost exclusively as a petrochemical feedstock to produce ethylene, which is a primary component of plastics.
