Amine Treating of Natural GasNatural gas should contain less then 4% inert gases namely carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, etc. Acid gas removal using amine plants is the accepted process but other chemical absorption and pressure swing absorption systems are being used. Membrane separation and concentration of CO2 is also used. Amine sweetening employs a high-pressure absorber contactor low-pressure stripper, high-pressure pumps, cross heat exchangers, reboilers, etc.... |

Crude Oil Topping UnitsCrude oil topping units fill a need for crude oil producers that don’t have total refining capacity but have domestic requirements for diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, AGO, LPG and asphalt. Basically they are atmospheric distillation units that produce hydrocarbon boiling point cuts from resid to LPG. Desalting, desulfurization and vacuum distillation may be necessary but the crude oil topping unit is the primary process. Asphalt can be produced with vacuum... |

Natural Gas Liquids RecoveryNatural gas processing equipment encompasses numerous unique processes. Natural gas liquids recovery (NGL) involves refrigerated gas plants, turboexpanders, debutanizers, depropanizers, and JT plants. The reason for an LPG plant could be hydrocarbon dew point control, natural gas liquids recovery, LPG production, propane recovery and butane recovery. The heating value (HHV and LHV) of gas is important for downstream combustion stability. Stabilized LPG... |

Nitrogen Rejection UnitsNitrogen rejection from natural gas is necessary of about 17% of US gas reserves according to GRI. Cryogenic separation and pressure swing adsorption have been employed to remove nitrogen from natural gas. Sep-Pro designs and builds a wide range of natural gas processing equipment. NRU equipment is part of this. Pressure swing adsorption needs to be combined with dehydration and hydrocarbon dew point control. Nitrogen rejection is a difficult... |

Screw Compressor Gas CompressionRotary screw compressors fill a need in the natural gas compression and process gas compression industries by supplying larger volume, low-pressure applications. Screw compressors are rugged and can handle some liquid slugging, which would damage less sturdy types of compressors. Screw compressors are also less expensive than process centrifugal and reciprocating types. Screw compressors are used in open systems such as natural gas compression, where... |

Shell and Tube Heat ExchangersOne of the key expenses to most process units is the cost of heat exchangers, namely shell & tube heat exchangers. Sep-Pro Systems manufactures heat exchangers for its in-house fabrication units and for individual sale. Sep-Pro Systems, being an ASME code shop, can U-stamp these heat exchangers. We also machine our own tubesheets and do our own thermal and mechanical design. Specifically Sep-Pro can build stainless and/or carbon... |

Oil & Gas SeparatorsSeparation is crucial for oil and gas production. Separator design can be very sophisticated, relying on accurate temperature, pressure, gas and liquid density, residence time, and oil viscosity. There are several types of separating processes. Two-phase separators, Three-phase separators, Coalescing filter separators, Double-barrel horizontal separators. These separators will use cyclones, vane packs, mesh pad mist eliminators and other types of... |

Ammonia Absorption RefrigerationAmmonia absorption refrigeration is time-tested technology that has come of age. Waste heat recovery can be combined with absorption chilling to reduce or eliminate the electric power bill of mechanical refrigeration. For instance, if a company has a power-generating gas turbine, the high temperature exhaust heat can be converted to refrigeration with an ammonia absorption refrigeration process (AARP). Industrial refrigeration is dominated by... |

Biodiesel Production From AlgaeSep-Pro designs and builds algae production and biodiesel processing facilities. Currently we are conducting research on the most capital cost effective approach. Bioreactors and transesterification of algae oil are chemical processes similar to any chemical plant. This is truly green energy but in a very practical context. Carbon dioxide is used as the source of carbon, algae is the vehicle to convert CO2 with solar energy to biomass and... |

Waste Heat RefrigerationThere are hundreds of applications where available waste energy could be used to generate refrigeration. A few of these applications would be in the food processing industry where exhaust heat from a power generating turbine could be used to drive an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration cycle to produce low temperature refrigeration. Bio-gas could also be produced from animal and vegetable waste with digestion. |

Two and Three Phase SeparatorsSeparation is crucial for oil and gas production, two-phase separators, three phase separators, filter coalescing separators, cyclone separators, vane type mist extractors, vane packs, crude oil separators, plate packs, coalescing gas separators, coalescers, crude oil separator are all separation devices. Separator design can be very sophisticated relying on accurate temperature, pressure gas, gas and liquid density residence time and oil viscosity. |
