Gas Compression & Chiller unit:

Compressing the natural gases which is coming through slug catcher (where
first stage separation takes place) from offshore by using process gas booster compressors and process
gas compressors and then the gas goes to first gas chiller where temperature drops takes place up to
25 degree Celsius.
After first gas chiller the compressed gas enter into the TEG(Tri Ethylene
Glycol) contactor where the counter flow occurs between the lean TEG (which is coming from TEG
regeneration package via Gas Glycol exchanger) and the natural gas for dehydration purpose.
Gas from TEG contactor goes to second gas chiller via gas Gas exchanger for further removal of heat
from gas where temperature reduced to -6 degree Celsius then gas goes to LTS(LOW Temperature
Seperator) through JT valve here temperature reduced to -7.5 degree Celsius and then once again goes
to gas Gas exchanger where heat exchange takes place between hot gases from TEG contactor and
cold gases coming from LTS unit.
After heat exchanger the gas temperature raise up to 26 to 30
degree Celsius. Finally 26-30 degree Celsius and pressure 50 bar gas is goes to sales through sales gas
meter.

Gas Dehydration Unit (TEG):

Natural Gas Liquid Separators, Glycol Dehydration through Glycol contact tower, Glycol Flash
Drum, Particulate and Carbon Filter, Lean and Rich glycol ,Heat Exchanger, Glycol Regeneration Still
Column,SurgeDrum, Glycol Pumping, Plant Shut Down and Start Up Operation, Maintaining Dew
Point, Operation of fuel gas fired co current flow natural draft horizontal type Reboiler, Temperature,
Level, Fuel Gas, Pilot Gas Supply, Still Column Temperature setting, Three Way Valve function, Flare
System, Log Sheet for Glycol Regeneration Unit.

Sulfur Recovery Unit :

Molten Sulfur is recovered from the acid gas of concentration 68 % using Claus Process. The main
chemical reaction in the process is
3
3H 2 S  O2  SO2  2 H 2 S  H 2 O
2
And

3
2 H 2 S  SO2  S x  2H 2O
x

The first reaction (oxidation) occurs only in the reaction furnace. The second reaction (conversion)
occurs in the reaction furnace and in the catalyst beds. The optimum conversion occurs when the ratio
of H2S:SO2 is controlled at 2:1 at the exit of the SRU. The Sulfur formed in the combustion and then in
the catalyst beds are condensed and stored in the Sulfur pit for Degassing. The Degassed Sulfur is
exported in Trucks with a specification of less than 10 ppmv.

Crude Oil Stabilization :

Oil from slug catcher oil side is goes to feed product exchanger tube side(shell
and tube HE) where heat recovery takes place from crude oil which is goes to crude storage tank
through feed product exchanger shell side by using feed pumps Feed product exchanger tube side oil
goes to HC (hydro carbon) liquid heaters Where oil will be heated by using hot oil and the same time
the Demulsifier dosing injection is given to the oil to break the emulsion and then oil goes to second
stage separator.
 Here some settling takes place to separate the pure oil from emulsion then the oil goes to third
stage separator for further purifying and then goes to crude storage tank through feed product heat
exchanger by using centrifugal crude transfer pump. Here three stage separators are used to separate
Gas, Oil and Water. Gas from seperators is goes to inlet separator through Ejectors and Flash gas
compressor.

Gas Sweetening Process :

Gas Sweetening is done by MDEA (METHYL DIETHANOL AMINE) to maintain the gas
specification of H2S less than 4 ppmv. The sour gas is sweetened in Amine contactor (20 trays) by
amine in a counter flow direction for absorption of H2S.The temperature of the gas and the amine to

be maintained as 85 F and 100 F respectively. It is done by the trim coolers and the propane Unit.
Amine contactor which has valve trays provides maximum absorption of the H2S.

The rich amine from the contactor is flashed in the Flash Gas Contactor and then treated in Still
Regenerator for circulation. Regeneration is done by the 50 psig steam in a reboiler at both ends. The
acid gas obtained in the Still is used for the Sulfur Recovery Unit. So it’s a circulation process and the
amount of gallons of lean amine depends upon the gas flow and molar weight of the substances in it.
Lean/Rich exchangers are provided for maintaining the temperatures to and fro of the Still with a heat
duty of 32,638 MBTU/HR. The lean amine is then filtered using mechanical pre-filter, carbon filter,
and mechanical after filter (10 µ).

Tail Gas Unit:

The Tail gas Unit is designed for maximum on-stream time and efficiency. The unit design is
based on the SRU operating at 94% sulfur recovery efficiency allowing for random SRU upsets. The
TGU is designed to receive 15.2 MMSCFD of combined tail gas from the two Claus Sulfur Recovery
Units. It uses a catalytic Hydrogenation process to reduce sulfur compounds to H2S. The H2S is
recovered and recycled to the SRU, and the remaining off gas is routed to the Tail Gas Incinerator.
When necessary, the tail gas from the SRU can be routed directly to the Incinerator, bypassing the
TGU.
Tail gas from the SRU flows through the Reduction Gas generator Furnace where it is mixed
with reduction gas generated by sub-stoichiometric combustion of fuel gas. The heated gas mixture
then passes through the Hydrogenation Reactor to reduce COS, SO2, CS2 and other sulfur
compounds, and the hot gas is finally cooled in the Quench Water Tower.
Acid gas containing 1-2% H2S from the Quench Tower is treated in a conventional MDEA
amine recovery operation. After passing through the TGU Contactor the residual off gas contains less
than 250 ppmw of H2S, which is burned in the Incinerator. H2S is stripped from the MDEA in the
TGU Still and then recycled to SRU.
